பூனையில் வீக்கம்: காரணங்கள், தீர்வு, தடுப்பு

Watch your pet’s habits

A healthy adult cat eats small meals throughout the day or twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. Even in the apartment, the pet repeats the natural cycle for him in the wild, consisting of hunting or playing, eating, caring for his fur coat and resting for the next game. Activity and rest alternate. After eating, the cat may slightly increase the volume of the abdomen. Your task is to organize a place for the pet to rest, to calmly absorb nutrients. And keep an eye on whether your pet is prone to overeating. If the cat loves to eat too much, and you do not have the opportunity to control each portion eaten, it is better to equip the automatic feeder to dispense food in portions at a certain time.

An increase in the volume of the abdomen due to heavy drinking in a healthy state is usually not threatened by cats. On the contrary, they need to be additionally motivated to consume a sufficient amount of fluid. A drinking fountain and containers with clean water in several corners of the house will help. An adult pet needs to drink 30-40 ml of water per kilogram of body weight every day.

Watch the habits of your four-legged friend in order to respond as quickly as possible to uncharacteristic behavior for him, signals about a deterioration in well-being. Sometimes a cat copes with a slight ailment on its own, but there is no guarantee that the problem that has arisen once will not make itself felt again.

Maintaining a Healthy Cat’s Gastrointestinal Tract

Whatever the causes of bloating in cats, this malaise becomes a significant shock to the body. Be sure to follow all the instructions of the veterinarian. Since the problem directly affects the gastrointestinal tract, we recommend that you consult with a veterinary nutritionist and adjust your pet’s diet.

Choose a balanced, complete food for your cat that has meat as the #1 ingredient. It is better to combine wet and dry food within the same brand, but it is not recommended to combine products from the refrigerator and ready-made food: this leads to an imbalance of nutrients. If you are preparing your own food, discuss the diet with your veterinary nutritionist.

The basis of your cat’s health and longevity is a balanced diet, comfortable living conditions, regular preventive treatment for parasites, and adherence to the vaccination schedule.

It is advisable not to let the cat out on its own: this is dangerous for many reasons. Often the cause of problems with the gastrointestinal tract is something harmful that the cat picked up and ate on the street. If you want to go for a walk with your pet, walk it on a harness, so you can protect your pet from many dangers.

Try to protect your cat from stress. Often diseases develop against the background of constant nervous tension. Repair, relocation, transition to a new type of feeding – make sure that there are fewer such surprises in your cat’s life. A constant daily routine is exactly what your ward needs.
