How to prevent urinary system diseases in cats?

Daily precautions for preventing urinary system diseases in cats

1, keep the cat and its living area clean.

If the cat's living environment is noisy, the environmental sanitation is not good, or the cat's toilet is improperly placed or messy, resulting in urinary organ infection or frequent urination, it may cause cat's bladder inflammation, and even cause cat's urinary system diseases, such as urinary calculi. Therefore, in order to prevent urinary system diseases of cats, cat owners need to pay attention to keeping their living environment clean and their toilets clean and hygienic. They also need to put the cat's toilet in a relatively quiet and safe place at home, and stay away from the place where cats eat, rest and sleep, so that cats can feel at ease when they go to the toilet.

2. Give the cat proper nutrition.

Doctors usually use anti-inflammatory drugs, injections or other therapeutic drugs to treat cats' urinary system problems, which will more or less damage cats' liver and kidney functions during the treatment, and continuous intake of anti-inflammatory drugs will also have a certain impact on cats' appetite, so at this time, owners need to give sick cats probiotics and nutritional supplements to help them protect their liver and kidney and adjust their own physique.

3. Find the cat's uneasiness in time and adjust the mood.

For the stress urinary problem of cats, many factors are due to the large emotional fluctuation of cats, which enhances the endocrine activity of adrenal axis, affects its autonomic nerve function, and then affects the nerve center that controls urination, leading to urinary system diseases of cats. Therefore, the owner usually has to take good care of the cat's emotions, try not to let the cat have anxiety, fear and other emotions, and appease its emotions in time. For cats that have had urinary problems before or are timid by nature, the owner needs to let the cats go to crowded and noisy places as little as possible. If it is difficult to avoid going to a new environment, you should hold it in your arms, comfort the cat more, give it enough sense of security and ease the fear.

4. Take more cats to exercise and drink more water.

Insufficient drinking water for cats is one of the causes of urinary system diseases. Owners usually need to take more time to lead cats to do more exercise. Cats consume water and energy during exercise, making them feel thirsty and then willing to drink water. Moreover, when the cat is exercising, it can accelerate the blood circulation of the whole body and move to various organs of the body, including the bladder, without leaving too much sediment in the bladder.

Don't give the cat too dry food.

In order to facilitate storage, most of the cat food on the market is dry food. Cats who eat dry food every day can't get water from cat food, and the amount of water they drink is not up to standard, so cats need to drink a lot of extra water, but cats naturally don't like drinking water. Only when you are thirsty to a certain extent will you take the initiative to drink water, resulting in long-term water shortage, and the high carbohydrate contained in cat food will lead to obesity of cats, which is not conducive to your health. Therefore, it is suggested that in addition to giving cats cat food, if conditions permit, shovel officials should give cats more complementary foods, such as vegetable porridge and chicken porridge, which can increase the nutrition of cats. This is the best way to love cats.
