The cat has diarrhea after changing food, but has a good mental appetite.
Recently, a fan reported that his three-month-old cat had diarrhea for three consecutive days after changing the cat food, but the cat's mental state and appetite remained good. Fans asked if they needed to take the cat to the hospital immediately.
Our preliminary analysis suggests that cat diarrhea may be caused by intestinal stress caused by changing cat food. In order to determine the condition more accurately, we need to know more about the specific condition of the cat, such as the presence of vomiting, the characteristics of the feces, the medication, and the brand of cat food used before.
According to fans, the cat only had diarrhea and no vomiting, the feces were sticky, and it had been restored to the original cat food feeding in time and purchased probiotics. In view of the cat's current normal mental appetite, in this case, it is recommended to give the cat oral probiotics and observe the next day's bowel movements. If stool improves significantly, continue to take it until it returns to normal; Otherwise, prompt medical attention is required, which may not be a simple stress diarrhea, but a risk of pathogen infection.
For the use of probiotics, they can be dissolved in warm water (about 10 ml of water) and fed, or sprinkled directly on cat food. Fasting and deprivation are not necessary at this stage, but if diarrhea does not improve with oral probiotics, a gastrointestinal examination should be performed the next day.
Colds due to seasonal changes may cause transient diarrhoea, while long-term diarrhoea may be associated with bacterial or parasitic infections, and bacterial infections may also be induced by unclean water sources or tap water. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the control of the amount of food consumed by cats, especially kittens, and it is recommended to eat small meals and frequent meals to help digestion and absorption.
If parasitic infection is identified, the regimen includes deworming, antidiarrheal, and repair of the gastrointestinal mucosa; If it is a bacterial infection, oral antibiotics are taken in conjunction with antidiarrheal and gastrointestinal mucosa**. Since cats have not yet been vaccinated, feline plague should be tested in time, because of its high risk, it is also one of the mandatory items for digestive tract diseases.
If diarrhea persists, it is recommended to take the cat to a regular pet hospital for treatment, and routine examination items include feline plague detection, blood routine, SAA and fecal examination. Depending on the level of consumption in the city, the cost of the inspection will vary. During this process, parents have the right to know and follow the necessary examination process to avoid unnecessary over-treatment.
