What to do if your cat is thin

For a thin cat, it is recommended that the owner first find the cause of the cat's thinness and then take corresponding measures to gain weight. Firstly, if the cat is thin due to malnutrition, it is advised to change the cat's diet structure and supplement the cat with appropriate amounts of protein, vitamins, and trace elements. Secondly, if the thinness is caused by poor digestion, the owner should pay attention to regulating the cat's digestion. Additionally, if the cat is thin due to internal parasites or consumptive diseases, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.

Supplement nutrition

If a cat's diet is relatively monotonous, unbalanced or insufficient nutrition intake can lead to the cat being particularly thin. In this case, the owner should timely adjust the cat's diet structure. It is recommended to switch the cat's food to nutrient-rich cat food and supplement the cat with appropriate amounts of minerals, vitamins, and trace elements. Also, the cat can be fed with some cans, fish soup, and nutritional supplements.

Regulate the intestines and stomach

If a cat's intestines and stomach are not in good condition, with poor digestion and absorption, even if the cat eats a lot, the body cannot absorb nutrients, and it is prone to loose stools and diarrhea. In this case, it is advised to feed the cat with pet probiotics to regulate the intestines and stomach, and adhere to the principle of feeding small meals frequently, providing the cat with easily digestible and absorbable food. Once the cat's intestines and stomach are in good condition, it can absorb nutrients and naturally gain weight.

Regular deworming

If a cat is infected with internal parasites, the parasites will absorb nutrients from the cat's body. In this case, no matter how much the cat eats, it will remain thin, and the parasites will also stimulate the intestines, causing the cat to have frequent diarrhea and vomiting. The feces and vomit may even contain parasites. If this is the case, the owner needs to consult a pet doctor in a timely manner and choose appropriate deworming drugs for the cat.

Check the body

If a cat has a certain consumptive disease, it will also become thin, such as tumor diseases, chronic anemia, gastritis, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to the cat's physical condition. Once the cat shows abnormal symptoms such as loss of spirit and poor appetite, take the cat to the pet hospital for inspection promptly. After determining the cause of the disease, treat it in a timely manner.
