Inflammation of the stomach and intestines in kittens

Inflammation of the stomach and intestines in kittens is characterized by diarrhea, vomiting, and even bloody stools. It is recommended to take the kitten to a pet hospital for a detailed examination of the cause of the disease before treatment. Feline panleukopenia virus requires the use of interferon, as well as biologics such as feline panleukopenia inhibitory protein and monoclonal antibodies. Parasitic infections require identification of the species of parasite infection before selecting the appropriate medication.

How to treat kitten enteritis

The drugs used for kitten enteritis mainly depend on the cause of the enteritis. If it is a viral enteritis, biological drugs such as interferon, inhibitory proteins, and monoclonal antibodies can be considered. If it is a parasitic enteritis, the appropriate deworming drugs should be selected based on the species of the parasite. Bacterial enteritis can be treated with some antibiotics.

Harm of kitten enteritis

Kitten enteritis is relatively severe, as young kittens need to consider whether their vaccines are complete and whether there is a possibility of feline panleukopenia. Due to the poor resistance of young kittens, once gastroenteritis occurs, symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea are likely to occur, and severe cases can lead to dehydration and even shock. Therefore, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly when young kittens have gastroenteritis.

Prevention of kitten enteritis

Young kittens are more susceptible to enteritis. Because their intestines have not fully developed, they may experience diarrhea after eating the wrong thing or consuming indigestible cat food. Therefore, during the early stages of a kitten's life, long-term administration of probiotics can prevent the occurrence of enteritis and enhance the kitten's resistance.
