How to effectively solve the problem of dry stool in cats?
Recently, we received a consultation from a fan whose cat experienced dry stools and prolonged bowel cycles after changing prescription dry food. Although the cat is in good spirits and has a normal appetite, this change still worries the cat owner. This article will detail the causes of constipation in cats and propose a series of solutions.
Sudden changes in a cat's eating habits, especially from wet to dry food, can lead to insufficient water intake in the digestive tract, which can lead to dry stools and constipation. In this regard, you can try to increase your cat's daily water intake, such as providing warm water or light honey water, to replenish the water needed by the digestive tract.
In order to improve constipation in cats, consider adding pet-specific probiotics to cats. Probiotics can help regulate the balance of intestinal flora, promote digestion and absorption, and long-term consistent use can help improve constipation.
If the cat is constipated but energetic, has a normal appetite and can maintain a bowel movement every 2-3 days, there is no need to rush to seek medical attention for the time being. However, if the cat has painful bowel movements, frequent squatting on the toilet or other abnormal behaviors, it should be checked by a doctor in time.

The concentration should be controlled during daily feeding to avoid other health problems caused by over-sweetness.
When necessary, your veterinarian may recommend short-term use of food-grade paraffin oil for quick laxatives, but be aware that it may trigger diarrhea and other *** and use it under the guidance of a veterinarian.
