What to do if your cat has a heat stroke

1. Encourage your cat to drink more water

When your cat is feeling hot, the simplest solution is to encourage it to drink more water to accelerate metabolism. If your cat doesn't like to drink water, you can add a little honey to the water to encourage it to drink. Additionally, you can change your cat's water more frequently to stimulate its thirst and increase its water intake. Also, appropriately increase your cat's exercise level to promote the excretion of harmful substances.

2. Feed your cat cooling vegetables and fruits

When your cat is feeling hot, you need to reduce the intake of protein and fat in its diet. You can feed your cat cooling vegetables and fruits, such as dragon fruit, watermelon, celery, and cabbage, which are high in water content. This can effectively alleviate your cat's hot condition. Never feed your cat too much meat, or it will make the heat stroke worse.

3. Change the cat food

If the cat food you are feeding your cat has a high protein content, you need to immediately stop and switch to a light, easy-to-digest natural cat food. Additionally, you can feed your cat some mung bean soup, as mung beans have a cooling effect and can effectively reduce your cat's heat stroke.

4. Take oral drugs to clear the heat and toxins

If the effect of dietary regulation is not significant, you can give your cat some oral drugs to clear the heat and toxins, such as Radix Isatidis granules, vitamin B oral solution, compound Butophthalol oral solution, Pudu oral solution, and Astragalus polysaccharide oral solution. It is recommended to consult a pet doctor before using these drugs. While taking these oral drugs, also pay attention to your cat's daily living environment to reduce its stress response, which will be of great help in alleviating the heat stroke.
