How to determine whether a cat is constipated?

A normal and healthy cat needs to defecate about 2-3 times a day. If the cat has not defecated for more than two days, or the stool is dry and hard, and the abdomen is swollen and hard, it is probably constipation. When this happens, we need to take timely measures to deal with it.

1, adjust diet

Constipation in cats means that there is not enough water running in the body. Don't always give the cat dry food that is easy to get angry. Stop feeding dry cat food during constipation. You can give them some light and digestible liquid foods, such as millet porridge and vegetable porridge. Meanwhile, let the cat drink more water. You can put more pots at home and let it drink after meals.

Step 2 supplement probiotics

If the cat still doesn't defecate after adjusting its diet, there is a high probability that there is something wrong with the stomach. For example, there are too few beneficial bacteria in the cat's stomach. At this time, the owner can give the cat a good meal to help increase the beneficial bacteria in the stomach and balance the gastrointestinal flora. It also helps the owner to guide the cat to drink more water and add some yogurt and honey water to help defecate.

Step 3 use kaisailu

During the cat's constipation, you should also take time to take it outdoors for at least 20 minutes of proper exercise, which can promote its metabolic cycle and intestinal peristalsis, thus alleviating constipation. If the cat is seriously constipated and can't defecate for several days, then it is necessary to take the cat to the hospital for examination in time and cooperate with the use of Kaiser Dew.
