1. Cats will vomit and feel depressed. Abdominal pain and diarrhea are the main symptoms of gastroenteritis. In gastroenteritis, which is mainly gastritis, the sick cat is depressed, with a slight increase in body temperature, loss of appetite, vomiting and abdominal pain. The cat shows abdominal contraction and constantly reviews the abdomen. Another feature is that the thirst is obviously enhanced, but it will vomit after drinking water. Gastroenteritis, mainly enteritis, is characterized by diarrhea, and the feces are liquid and smelly.
2. Patients with severe vomiting should be fasted for 24 hours, and those with diarrhea should not be fed indigestible food. At the same time, a small amount of oral rehydration saline should be fed several times, and gentamicin and probiotics should be used for conditioning. For gastroenteritis caused by overeating, we should stop eating 1~ 2 days, but we should ensure adequate drinking water and feed probiotics or six kinds of bacteria.
I wish your cat a speedy recovery.
How to treat cat enteritis?
Cats with gastroenteritis will have vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness and other symptoms, which have a great impact on the health of cats.
Gastroenteritis makes cats unable to eat normally and absorb nutrients normally, so cats cannot grow normally. Especially kittens.
The body's resistance is weak, and gastroenteritis is very serious. Cat gastroenteritis is a very common cat disease, and 99% of intestinal infections are caused by Bacillus.
Generally speaking, the best choice to deal with Bacillus is gentamicin sulfur, kanamycin and other drugs. Among them, gentamicin is not absorbed by internal organs after oral administration because of its relatively large molecular weight, and it is the first choice for cats to treat intestinal inflammation.
In addition to choosing specific drugs for treatment, you can also choose some live bacteria drugs, such as lactobacillus, multi-enzyme tablets, lactic acid bacteria tablets, veterinary mikola, Livzon Changle, whole intestine and so on. Help cats regulate the flora of digestive tract and regulate the digestive system.
In addition, if there is no obvious effect in the process of regulating digestive system for three days, you can consider eliminating intestinal inflammation for cats. At the same time, when treating gastroenteritis for cats, it is best to listen to the advice of veterinarians first, and then carry out targeted treatment according to the arrangement of veterinarians.
In addition, the owner needs to pay special attention to the fact that after giving the cat anti-inflammatory drugs for half an hour, it is very effective to feed the cat some live bacteria digestive AIDS, such as lactase, to help the cat recover its digestive ability.
Does the cat have symptoms of gastroenteritis?
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of gastric mucosa and intestinal mucosa, which mostly occurs in cats and may be caused by many reasons. Can be divided into acute gastroenteritis and chronic gastroenteritis.
Abnormal excrement-watery stool, etc.
What are the symptoms of gastroenteritis?
Vomiting, depression, abdominal pain and diarrhea are the main symptoms of this disease. In gastroenteritis, which is mainly gastritis, the sick cat is depressed, with a slight increase in body temperature, loss of appetite, vomiting and abdominal pain. The sick cat has abdominal contraction, and the abdomen is constantly checked. Another feature is that the thirst is obviously enhanced, but it will vomit after drinking water. If gastroenteritis is caused by corrosive substances, its vomit often contains blood and gastric mucosal fragments. Sick cats often squat or crawl on the cold ground or corner after vomiting. Touching the abdomen of a sick cat is often rejected because of abdominal pain. Gastroenteritis is characterized by enteritis, diarrhea, fecal fluid and foul smell. When enteritis is severe, the intestinal mucosa bleeds, and the feces are black or dark green, sometimes mixed with bloodshot and black blood clots. The sick cat was nervous in the abdomen and refused to touch the mold. Abdominal auscultation, bowel sounds can be heard in the early stage of the disease, and then decline in the later stage. The sick cat can see flatulence in the later stage, which is prone to dehydration, acidosis and other symptoms. Diagnosis can be made according to the medical history and clinical symptoms.
High incidence period and type:
Gastroenteritis can occur in cats of all ages.
Kittens are more prone to gastroenteritis because their stomachs are shallow and they can't control their food intake. If it is not properly fed, it is easy to cause gastroenteritis.
Did your baby's symptoms happen to the kitten?
First of all, if it has parasites, you can't use human drugs. Please go to a professional pet hospital to buy insect repellent. The price is around 20 yuan/tablet (imported medicine). And this medicine needs to be taken quantitatively according to the weight of the cat, at most one tablet. You said that your cat is so thin now that you shouldn't even use one. I suggest you go to a pet hospital and give it to him according to your own wishes.
Since the cat has vomited, its gastrointestinal function is now in a weak stage, so it is recommended not to feed it with meat. (and even if you feed it later, you must feed a small amount of cooked food. There are many parasites in raw meat. If possible, add a small amount of cat food and 1-2 lactase to the cooked porridge (white rice) for feeding. Help it digest and let it slowly restore its gastrointestinal function.
Breast addiction belongs to gastroenterology. In later life, if your pet's digestive function is still not good, you can grind it yourself and add it to food, which is beneficial and harmless. My cat usually eats canned food, so I put some in it, hehe.
However, as far as your symptoms are concerned, the cat is thin, mentally ill and constantly vomiting. I suggest going to the pet hospital as soon as possible. It is possible that the cat has inflammation, but you don't want it to feed people anti-inflammatory drugs. Because we don't know the dosage. Or a professional pet hospital is more authoritative.
What are the symptoms of cat gastroenteritis? How to treat cat gastroenteritis?
First, the common symptoms of cat gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of gastric mucosa and intestinal mucosa, which mostly occurs in cats and may be caused by many reasons. Can be divided into acute gastroenteritis and chronic gastroenteritis.
1, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea
Vomiting, depression, abdominal pain and diarrhea are the main symptoms of this disease. In gastroenteritis, which is mainly gastritis, the sick cat is depressed, with a slight increase in body temperature, loss of appetite, vomiting and abdominal pain.
2. Shrinking the abdomen and increasing thirst

4. Diarrhea stinks
Gastroenteritis is characterized by enteritis, diarrhea, fecal fluid and foul smell. When enteritis is severe, the intestinal mucosa bleeds, and the feces are black or dark green, sometimes mixed with bloodshot and black blood clots.
5. Dehydration occurred in the later stage.
The sick cat can see flatulence in the later stage, which is prone to dehydration, acidosis and other symptoms. Diagnosis can be made according to the medical history and clinical symptoms. If gastroenteritis is caused by corrosive substances, its vomit often contains blood and gastric mucosal fragments.
Second, the cause of cat gastroenteritis
1, the kitten has a shallow stomach.
Young cats are more prone to gastroenteritis because their stomachs are too shallow to control their food intake. If it is not properly fed, it is easy to cause gastroenteritis.
2. Lactose intolerance
Because many cats are lactose intolerant, have no lactase, and can't digest lactose in milk, they will have soft stools or diarrhea for hours or even die after drinking milk. It is suggested that young cats should drink milk powder instead of pet dogs and cats, and the ingredients are close to breast milk to avoid lactose intolerance.
3. Eating rotten food by mistake
Cat gastroenteritis caused by eating spoiled food by mistake is the main cause of cat gastroenteritis in summer. In summer, food is perishable, and eating it several times with poor appetite will lead to food slowly rotting in the vegetable bowl.
4. Improper feeding and diet
For example, the brand of cat food is suddenly changed, and there is no reasonable way to change it step by step, or cats are excessively hungry, voracious, overeating and indigestion, which leads to cat gastroenteritis.
5, cat food poisoning
Whether the cat accidentally eats poisonous flowers and plants, accidentally licks disinfectant/skin care products/cosmetics, or eats drugs used by others, leading to the stress reaction of messy carpet environment at home.
Third, treat cat gastroenteritis with drugs.
1, short-term fasting is necessary.
Fasting is needed at the initial stage of treatment, otherwise repeated gastrointestinal diseases will aggravate the symptoms. Fasting can give the gastrointestinal tract a good rest and help the gastrointestinal mucosa to repair slowly. Feeding food will cause abnormal digestion of food, but it will cause digestive tract damage.
Step 2 take anti-inflammatory drugs
Cat gastroenteritis is a very common cat disease, and 99% of intestinal infections are caused by Bacillus. Generally speaking, the best choice to deal with Bacillus is gentamicin sulfur, kanamycin and other drugs. After taking the medicine for 2 hours, you can give the cat some probiotics to help the stomach recover.
3. Adjust the digestive flora
In addition to drugs, you can also choose some live bacteria drugs such as probiotics, lactobacillus, multi-enzyme tablets, lactic acid bacteria tablets, whole intestine and so on. Help cats regulate the flora of digestive tract and regulate the digestive system.
4. Pay close attention.
It should be noted that if the cat is found not to get better after taking the medicine, it must be sent to the hospital in time, so as not to delay the best treatment opportunity.
What are the causes of cat gastroenteritis?
Cats are more likely to get gastroenteritis, such as weather, improper feeding, sudden change of food, catching cold, shock stress, poisoning and allergies.
Many owners will adopt improper methods when treating gastrointestinal diseases of cats, which not only can not alleviate the treatment of cat diseases, but also cause delays or even aggravation, so this article will talk about cat gastroenteritis. Complete file of cat gastroenteritis: what is gastroenteritis? Gastroenteritis is inflammation of gastric mucosa and intestinal mucosa, which mostly occurs in cats and may be caused by many reasons.
Can be divided into acute gastroenteritis and chronic gastroenteritis. What are the symptoms of gastroenteritis, such as abnormal stool-watery stool? Vomiting, depression, abdominal pain and diarrhea are the main symptoms of this disease.

High incidence period and type: Gastroenteritis can occur in cats of all ages. Young cats are more prone to gastroenteritis because their stomachs are too shallow to control their food intake. If it is not properly fed, it is easy to cause gastroenteritis.
Especially for kittens, breastfeeding is not recommended. It should be emphasized here that it is not recommended for cats to feed milk, especially young cats, because many cats are lactose intolerant. They have no lactase and cannot digest lactose in milk, so they will have soft stools or diarrhea for hours or even die after drinking milk. If the cat has not passed the weaning period, it is best to feed the pet-specific milk powder.
(Note: Yili nutritional soothing milk on the market is softened and can be fed to young cats. ) The number of sick cats suffering from gastroenteritis has increased. Pathogenic reasons: cats are more likely to get gastroenteritis. Weather, improper feeding, sudden food change, catching cold, shock stress, poisoning allergy and other reasons may cause gastroenteritis in cats.
For example, the brand of cat food suddenly changed, but it didn't change reasonably, or the weather environment changed greatly in alternate seasons (autumn and winter), or the cat caught cold by blowing air conditioner directly in summer, or the cat was too hungry and overeating, and the food couldn't be digested well, or the cat accidentally ate flowers and plants that were toxic to it, licked disinfectant/skin care products/cosmetics, or gave people medicine or cosmetics. Buy new furniture or redecorate the house; There are guests living at home; Move; The stress reaction caused by cleaning carpets, changing the environment, or cats infected with cat plague fever (panleukopenia virus) without triple vaccine may all cause cat gastroenteritis. Diagnostic methods of sick cats: (to be supplemented and perfected) Because there are many diseases that can cause enteritis, differential diagnosis is needed.
Generally, it is necessary to take feces to test whether your cat has feline plague, and conduct routine stool examination to check whether there are parasite eggs in feces. Routine blood examination is helpful to judge the condition of cats and guide medication.
Treatment plan: (to be supplemented and perfected) The treatment principle of this disease is to eliminate the cause, diminish inflammation, stop diarrhea and rehydrate, and take corresponding treatment measures according to different causes: for gastroenteritis caused by overeating, stop eating for one day, ensure adequate drinking water, and cooperate with nursing work during treatment, such as supplying a small amount of delicious and digestible liquid food. Prevention and health care of intestinal prescription drugs: common misunderstanding in treating gastroenteritis in cats: misunderstanding 1: cats can treat some diarrhea by themselves, just take a few berberine tablets.
No! Correction: Due to the limitation of domestic pet medical conditions, cats can sometimes use human drugs, but because cats are different from humans, it is necessary to find out which drugs can be used and which drugs are toxic. Therefore, when you use personal medicine to treat your cat, you should first ask the veterinarian which medicine can be used for your cat in an emergency and the dosage.
Safe medication is closely related to the health of cats, so be careful again! Myth 2: Cats can make sick rice by themselves, such as rice soup, which is nutritious and cheap. No! Correction: Prescription drugs for pets are nutritious, safe and easy to absorb, which are needed by cats during their illness. Drinking rice soup or porridge for a long time will lead to malnutrition.
Don't rely on our own imagination to determine the needs of cats or use human experience to deal with problems. Rice soup is a good patient meal for people, but it is wrong for cats that need a lot of protein and are likely to lose their appetite during illness.
Myth 3: The cat can't keep up with the nutrition after diarrhea, so let it eat quickly to replenish energy. No! Correction: fasting is needed at the initial stage of treatment, otherwise repeated gastrointestinal * * * will aggravate the condition.
Fasting can give the gastrointestinal tract a good rest and help the gastrointestinal mucosa to repair slowly. Because when the gastrointestinal tract is dysfunctional, feeding food will cause abnormal fermentation and abnormal digestion of food, which will aggravate the damage of the digestive tract, and then lead to serious gastrointestinal diseases and even pancreatic problems.
Myth 4: Long-term consumption of prescription food will lead to unbalanced nutrition, and feeding should be stopped after gastrointestinal diseases are cured. No! Correction: cats with malnutrition due to absorption dysfunction or weak digestive system should be fed intestinal prescription food for a long time.
Compared with ordinary cat food, intestinal formula food has the following advantages: comprehensive and balanced nutrition; The added prebiotics help to restore the balance of intestinal flora; DHA/EPA is helpful to select highly digestible protein in food formula to resist digestive tract inflammation and ensure digestive safety to the maximum extent. The excellent palatability of intestinal formula can also promote the intake of sick cats and promote their recovery.
Such a balanced proportion can become a long-term cat with abnormal digestive tract.
How to judge whether a cat has gastroenteritis?
Gastrointestinal diseases have many clinical symptoms, some of which seem to have nothing to do with the digestive system, such as skin diseases caused by food allergies.
But more than 90% of gastrointestinal diseases will have vomiting and diarrhea. Only the gastrointestinal diseases of pets with vomiting and diarrhea are discussed here.
Simply put. Simple stomach diseases only have vomiting symptoms, and simple intestinal diseases only have diarrhea symptoms.
Vomiting and diarrhea only occur when the gastrointestinal tract is combined. Let's start with vomiting
Vomiting should be distinguished from coughing and drooling. Many people can't tell whether the baby coughs, drools or vomits.
Generally speaking, vomiting requires a continuous action. Bend down first, then move the abdominal muscles forward, and finally open your mouth and spit out vomit.
Vomiting may be caused by hairballs (common in cats), parasites (common in young animals), foreign bodies (often eaten indiscriminately by dogs), and the most common is various chyme (food lumps with different digestive degrees). Usually, the vomit is white with foam, yellow may be mixed with bile, and red may be stomach bleeding.
The worse the smell of vomit, the more serious the harm to the stomach. For pet owners, vomiting must attract 12 points.
Because frequent and massive vomiting can cause the pet's body to lose water and electrolyte instantly, ranging from listlessness to shock death. When the cat vomits, the owner should pay attention to observation. If there is no obvious abnormality after vomiting, you can rest assured. If the cat is extremely depressed after vomiting and doesn't like eating and exercising, it should contact the veterinarian in time for treatment.
If the cat suddenly eats a lot, then it begins to vomit in a dark corner, spit out all the food it has eaten, and then eat. Repeat this one or more times, and it will be full of vitality. This is caused by hairball disease. Generally, the owner will give the cat more water and it will be fine. Diarrhea is easier to explain than vomiting. Generally speaking, diarrhea and different forms of diarrhea.
Its complexity is generally considered by chemists in hospitals, so I won't say much here. Under normal circumstances, stool hardness should be moderate.
Too dry is constipation or congenital megacolon, too thin and too soft may be parasites, infectious diseases or indigestion. We can learn a lot about the health problems of pets by observing their feces.
Dark brown is found in upper gastrointestinal bleeding (such as stomach and duodenum); There are blood clots and bloodshot in the feces, which are seen in the posterior segment of mild bleeding (colon, rectum); Yellow-green feces were found in jaundice caused by leptospira; Sour feces are common in general indigestion; Fecal odor is seen in severe gastroenteritis; There are pus lumps in feces and mucosa of suppurative gastroenteritis. Of course, feces contains much more information, but if you want to know more information, you can only ask a chemist to do a stool test for you.
In addition, when pet cats lack digestive enzymes to digest lactose, if they eat milk by mistake, they may have mild diarrhea symptoms, so special milk powder should be prepared for cats in life to avoid diarrhea. At the same time, gastroenteritis is also the main cause of cat diarrhea.
When the cat has persistent diarrhea and vomiting, rapid weight loss and dehydration symptoms, it can be proved that the cat has gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis can occur in cats of all ages.
Young cats are more prone to gastroenteritis because their stomachs are too shallow to control their food intake. If it is not properly fed, it is easy to cause gastroenteritis. The treatment methods of gastroenteritis include eliminating the cause, diminishing inflammation, stopping diarrhea and rehydrating, and taking corresponding treatment measures according to different causes: for gastroenteritis caused by overeating, stop feeding for one day, ensure adequate drinking water, and cooperate with nursing work during treatment, such as supplying a small amount of delicious and digestible liquid food.
It should be emphasized here that it is not recommended for cats to feed milk, especially young cats, because many cats are lactose intolerant. They have no lactase and cannot digest lactose in milk, so they will have soft stools or diarrhea and even die after drinking milk for several hours. If the cat has not passed the weaning period, it is best to feed the pet-specific milk powder.
In general, vomiting and diarrhea need to be considered. Generally, when we find that a pet has vomiting or diarrhea, the first consideration should be whether his pet has been deworming and immunized. Under normal circumstances, pets should be immunized and deworming inside and outside every year.
Infectious diseases caused by various viruses and parasitic diseases caused by various parasites can cause vomiting or diarrhea. If you haven't done it or are not sure whether you have done immune deworming, it's best to go to a pet hospital for relevant examination.
Of course, I don't rule out those cases that are untested and naturally good, but I still don't recommend taking risks. Excluding parasites and immune problems, the second thing to consider is the pet's eating habits.
Take the cat as an example. Do you have the habit of licking hair and have eaten hair cream or related products? Take dogs for example. Do you have the habit of picking things up at random?
Do you often vomit or diarrhea from time to time? Do you eat irregularly and often overeat? Is the food very miscellaneous and you eat everything? Has the food you have eaten recently expired? Such related problems may cause gastroenteritis. Maybe these are just minor problems in ordinary life. My baby is strong and has never had an accident, but it will inevitably lead to some chronic gastrointestinal diseases after a long time. These diseases usually have only mild vomiting or diarrhea, but they are difficult to cure.
How to regulate the cat's stomach at ordinary times? First of all, take care of cats with sensitive stomachs and try to provide them with a single diet. Many people think that cats are thin and should eat more delicious supplements.
Actually, it's not like this. A cat's stomach is different from a human's. Cats with poor gastrointestinal absorption function will increase their gastrointestinal burden if they eat some greasy food. Therefore, a cat food with good nutrition and easy absorption is the best choice for cats. Recommended cat food: Royal k36, development treasure, eager for all cat food.
In addition, don't change cat food frequently. Secondly, we must control the cat's food intake.
Cats with sensitive stomachs have poor digestion, but often have a good appetite. If you don't control the cat's food intake, the cat can't absorb too much food, which increases the burden on the stomach. Therefore, cats that are sensitive to intestinal cat food should be fed regularly and quantitatively. Generally, it can be fed four times a day, with a snack in the morning, noon and evening, and the total amount of food should be controlled at the cat's kilogram.
