At some point, your cat or kitten will suffer from diarrhoea, so you must read till the end. I’ll be discussing the reasons behind diarrhoea and the solution to it.
There are several reasons diarrhoea might occur, and so, the treatments are also different.
The first reason your cat/kitten may suffer from diarrhoea is food. If you instantly change your pet’s diet, it will become ill. Make sure you follow the proper way you switch your cat’s diet.
Your cat won’t be familiar with the new food you want it to have, so its stomach will certainly become upset. This is a common problem; you don’t have to visit the vet. Just follow the proper way!
Whilst we’re on the topic of food, let’s talk about another cause of diarrhoea: Food allergy. Cats are lactose intolerant, which means they can’t digest milk. If you give your cat even a tiny amount of milk, it will suffer from diarrhoea. You can read my previous upload in which I give you an alternative to milk (click here). Make sure your cat doesn’t eat anything other than its own food. Some cats accidentally eat plastic, or they might ingest an insect, dirt etc. Keep an eye on your pet and ensure it doesn’t do so.
The second reason for diarrhoea is not getting deworming done. The parasites in your companion’s stomach will eventually increase and cause several problems.
You should get deworming done every 3 months so that there aren’t any parasites inside your cat. Blood in the stool can appear because you’re not getting deworming done on your cat.
The third reason your cat may be suffering from diarrhoea is viral infections. In this situation, your cat will stop eating and start vomiting. You must go to the vet if this happens!
The fourth reason is wrong medication. If you have given your cat the wrong medicine/heavy dose of medicine or it is not digesting its treatment, it might become ill. That’s why you must do your research first.
These were all the main reasons your cat may be suffering from diarrhoea.
If your cat has regular diarrhoea, don’t give it anything to eat for at least 12 hours. However, make sure there is water available to drink. After 12 hours, provide it with chicken and make sure you’re not giving it any dry/jelly food.
Hopefully, if you follow what ive said your cat will be healthy in no time. If not, pay a visit to your vet. Before giving your cat any type of medicine, you will need to consult your vet.
