Melanie's Blog Cats during winter. Winter is a high-incidence period for cats to get sick. As the temperature decreases, the resistance of cats also decreases, and the changes in the environment make cats usher in various problems. The most serious and common ones are that cats often vomit and lose their appetite.
1. The Hairball Disease
Generally, cats with hairball disease will often be retching with mild symptoms, but they cannot spit out anything. If the symptoms are not resolved, they will still be retching; if the symptoms are severe, they will often vomit frequently, and the vomit is yellow and transparent.
Hairball disease is not a serious disease. As long as the cat eats cat grass or feeds hair cream regularly, the gastrointestinal hair can be discharged. If you have time, you should brush the cat more often.
2. Gastrointestinal Flora Disorder
Although cats are resistant to heat but not cold, sometimes the temperature is too cold to make cats uncomfortable, which will form “cold stress”, the resistance will decrease, and the bacterial flora in the stomach will also be disordered, which will cause gastroenteritis, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Probiotics can be fed to cats to help the cat’s gastrointestinal flora return to normal
3. Weak Stomach
Many cats often vomit and have diarrhea, and often have stomach discomfort. Many of the reasons are that the cat owner has not taken good care of the cats since childhood, and often feeds them some food that is not suitable for cats, resulting in insufficient gastrointestinal resistance and a weak stomach, so encountering some food or changes in the environment can cause discomfort.
To make the cat’s stomach less fragile and sensitive, it is still necessary to protect it from the root of the stomach, feed as little human food as possible, and choose low-fat, low-oil, nutritionally balanced, high-protein, grain-free cat food to make the stomach digest faster. absorb nutrient
In the cold winter, cats also need a warm environment. Small blankets, cat beds, and small clothes can be prepared for them. The health of cats is inseparable from the long-term careful feeding of the cat owner.
