What to feed cats during teething
During their teething period, cats' appetites tend to decrease significantly. Owners need to provide cats with food that is easy to chew. If it is found that the cat has difficulty chewing, you can appropriately soften the cat food before feeding it, or switch to cans. The main dish in the cans is more balanced in nutrition and abundant in moisture, which makes it more comfortable for the cat to eat and has a better texture. This not only increases the cat's food intake but also protects the newly grown small teeth.
Cat refuses to eat during teething
A cat that refuses to eat during teething may have swollen gums. Owners are advised to avoid feeding the cat dry or hard food recently and can feed it nutrient supplements, goat's milk powder, or softened cat food. If the cat's gums become inflamed, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian and purchase antibiotics for the cat.
Teething process of cats
Cats usually begin to teethe at around four to five months old, starting with the incisors, then the canine teeth, and finally the molars on both sides. It is worth noting that the canine teeth usually grow first and then fall out, so pay attention to the double-rowed teeth situation. If they don't fall out, consult a doctor. During the teething process, the cat may experience a loss of appetite. Owners need to pay attention to supplementing their cat's nutrition.
What to feed cats to supplement their nutrition
If your cat is less than three months old, you can choose to give it goat's milk powder. Because goat's milk powder can supplement the cat's daily nutritional needs and enhance its immunity. If your cat is over three months old, you can choose to feed it cat milk biscuits, then soften them with warm boiled water, which is beneficial to digestion. You can also give it nutritional supplements during the vaccination period, but it is recommended not to purchase them online.
