How do shovel officers take care of postpartum cats?

Generally speaking, after the cat is born, the shovel officer needs to take care of the cat's diet, living environment and health.

Cat's diet

Cats are extremely weak after delivery, which may lead to physical dysfunction. For example, when a cat is breastfeeding, it will lose a lot of calcium through milk. Therefore, a cat's postpartum diet should be nutritious, high in protein and calcium, and easy to digest.

Among them, crucian carp soup, chicken breast, shrimp, pig feet, pig liver, dairy products and so on. They all contain high nutrients, are easy to be absorbed and allergic, and can be appropriately fed.

In addition, in order to promote the mother's milk secretion, cats must be provided with sufficient and clean drinking water.

In addition, protein is the most important nutrient for cats, and it plays a very important role in maintaining cats' health, promoting growth and ensuring tissue repair, which is irreplaceable by any nutrient. The shovel officer can properly feed the postpartum cat with cooked egg yolk and nutritional cream to replenish energy for the cat.

The living environment of cats

Before giving birth, cats should be provided with a quiet, comfortable, dry and ventilated living environment. This is extremely important for postpartum cats to recover their health and improve their disease resistance.

After production, don't leave things around the trailer, otherwise it may scare the finished cat, otherwise the mother cat will "move" with her children.

Change the mattress frequently and keep it clean. Regular cleaning and disinfection of food basins and water basins, timely removal of residual food and feces, to prevent the spread of diseases, and secondly pay attention to keep warm.

The cat is in good health.

Wash the mother cat's nipple with alcohol or normal saline before breastfeeding to prevent the kitten from sucking too hard and causing nipple inflammation.

In addition, it is also necessary to properly help the female cat turn over, exercise her limbs, and avoid postpartum bedsore.

Cats should also pay attention to avoid uterine diseases and mastitis after giving birth, which are the two main diseases of cats after giving birth. Once they get sick, they should go to the pet hospital for treatment immediately.

Due to pregnancy and childbirth, the hormones of cats will change, and some cats will suffer from psychological diseases such as depression. Therefore, shovel officials should always pay attention to the mental health of cats and pay close attention to their postpartum behavior.
