According to the shape and hardness of Baba, it can be roughly divided into molded Baba, dry Baba, blocky Baba, sparse Baba and bloody Baba.
Let's talk about how to see the cat's physical condition from these babas in turn.
Classification of Baba country
1, shaping Baba
First of all, it is shaped Baba, which is strong but not hard. It looks segmented from the outside and has cracks on the surface. But when you shovel, there may be a little shit. This is a healthy cat's Baba. Congratulations to the cat for mentioning perfection and staying healthy.
2. Dry and hard
After the dry and hard Baba is discharged, it is a small ball with a dry shape, and it will not be stained with Baba marks when shoveling Baba.
It shows that the cat is a little constipated and has a hard stool. This is to remind the owner to drink more water or feed some cat grass in time. The method is simple, but it is still difficult to implement because most cats don't like drinking water.
In view of this situation, you can add water to food, such as canned food, which is the most acceptable way for cats to drink water, and almost no cats will refuse. Most cats want to finish the canned water, because there are favorite minced meat and fragrance in it, which naturally increases the water consumption.
But some cats don't accept soaked food. You can change it. For example, make one yourself or buy a water dispenser for a cat, and you can set it to let the water flow. Cats are often seen drinking water from faucets and toilets, because flowing water is very attractive to cats. Cats use the water dispenser, which feels very hygienic, and can also ensure that cats replenish enough water and increase the fun of drinking water.
Another point is that cats try to avoid plastic materials when using water dispensers. Plastic is not friendly to cats' facial skin. Choose glass or porcelain and pay attention to cleanliness.
3. Tuotuo Baba
The third kind is a block Baba. When the stool is yellow and lumpy, it is very wet, and there will be deformation and residue when scooped up, which is a typical soft stool. This poop may be because there is no good transition when changing food. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the proportion of new cat food, increase the proportion of original cat food, and gradually transition within 15 or 20 days to reduce the total amount of feeding at the beginning. At the same time, supplementing the cat with some probiotics can also regulate the stomach and prevent the stool from getting worse.
4, sparse
The fourth is sparse Baba. When Baba is not formed, a porridge-like stool, or simply a beach, is a serious diarrhea. Let's see if the cat ate anything that caused diarrhea. If diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting, depression and loss of appetite, it is improper diet, such as drinking indigestible lactose or eating expired canned food. In this case, the owner should fast the cat for half a day or a day, and then change the cat into fresh and clean food.
Cats may also be due to their own gastrointestinal indigestion, and sometimes the owner gives the cat too much at once, which will lead to diarrhea. At this time, you can still give the cat some probiotics and then feed some light food, and pay attention to controlling the cat's food intake and meal time in the future.
