What's going on with my cat's diarrhea?

There are many reasons for a cat's diarrhea, such as infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, digestive system diseases, or stress reactions caused by new environments, and adverse reactions caused by new feeds. The owner needs to make a basic judgment based on the actual situation, take photos of the current situation, and take the cat to the pet hospital in a timely manner.

What are the causes of cat diarrhea?

The causes of cat diarrhea are as follows: First, eating randomly, especially human food, can lead to the cat's gastrointestinal tract being unable to digest, resulting in diarrhea; second, foreign body obstruction, which causes slow intestinal peristalsis and decreased digestive function; third, infection of infectious diseases, such as feline distemper virus, which attacks the gastrointestinal tract and causes damage to the digestive system.

Cat diarrhea caused by eating randomly

Cats can experience gastrointestinal obstruction due to accidental ingestion of foreign objects or overeating. This may manifest as the following symptoms: decreased or even lost appetite, loss of interest in favorite foods, frequent vomiting, tightened abdomen with pain, dislike of being touched, and possible presence of mucus and blood in stools.

What to do if your cat has diarrhea?

If you find your cat has diarrhea, first reduce the feeding amount and use probiotics. If the condition is not severe, it can recover on its own in a couple of days. If the cat has diarrhea but has normal spirit and appetite, and the weather has recently cooled down, it may be caused by a cold. In this case, pay attention to keeping the cat warm, do not feed it with cold water, and give it probiotics and antibiotics for gastrointestinal regulation and inflammation elimination. If diarrhea is caused by other reasons, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for symptomatic treatment as soon as possible.
