What is the reason why cats lose weight?

1, if the cat loses weight, but there are no other symptoms, then the pet owner need not worry too much. Maybe the cat's diet is a little wrong, but its body is still healthy. If the pet owner is really uneasy, he can take the cat to the hospital for a physical examination, which can also prevent the cat from having hidden diseases.

2. When the pet owner finds that the cat has lost weight, he must first find the reason himself. For example, think about whether the cat's food intake has decreased, whether the cat's food is different, whether the cat's muscles have decreased, and how the cat's appetite is. The answers to these questions correspond to different diseases. Pet owners should find out these details as soon as possible, which is also convenient for doctors to diagnose.

3. If the cat's thyroid hormone secretion is strong, then the cat is likely to suffer from hyperthyroidism, and one of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism is weight loss. In addition, cats will have symptoms such as fidgeting, increased activity, increased heart rate, thirst and abnormal excretion. If a cat suffers from chronic kidney disease, it may lose weight because the cat's kidney is related to metabolism. If there is something wrong with the metabolism in the body, it will affect the absorption and utilization of nutrients in the body, which will lead to the weight loss of cats.

4. The weight loss of cats is also one of the symptoms of diabetes. Because cats have diabetes, their appetite will decrease, and cats will naturally become thinner if they can't eat anything. Moreover, diabetic cats are generally obese, so it is obvious when losing weight. Pets should pay attention. Cat diabetes needs insulin injection to treat it, so early detection and treatment are needed.

If the cat is not emaciated due to illness, then we should consider fattening the cat, but we should also pay attention to the methods of fattening the cat. The common method is to increase the energy density of cat food. Generally speaking, dry food is denser than wet food, so it is enough to increase the cat's food intake. Some wet foods are rich in fat, and pet owners can choose according to the fattening needs of cats.

Cats also need the attention of pet owners to lose weight. After all, it is related to the health of cats. After eliminating the disease factors, it is necessary to supplement the cat with nutrition in time. If you have any other questions, you can also consult an online pet doctor.
