How to take care of cats when they are sick? The shoveling officer must pay attention to it! After the cats at home are sick and sent to the pet hospital for treatment, the general doctor will send the parents back to the hospital for treatment. After home, pay more attention to what the cat eats, and add some high-protein foods such as eggs or meat. And the food should be based on palatability.
The cat's appetite will be poor during the period of illness. You can feed it some food that it usually likes to eat. If conditions permit, it can be fed with broth or fish soup. The amount of feeding should be based on the principle of eating less and more meals regularly. If the cat refuses to eat, the food can be made into a paste and smeared on the cat's lips to induce eating. The gastrointestinal absorption function of cats during illness is generally not very good, so at this stage, animal proteins that are easy to digest and absorb are mainly used. On the one hand, it increases the absorption of nutrients and also enhances the palatability.
If pets suffer from viral infectious diseases or gastrointestinal diseases, they will usually have diarrhea, which will cause a lot of body water loss. In addition to infusion therapy in the hospital, you can add some water to your food. When feeding a sick cat cat food, you can soak the cat food with water and keep the temperature at about 40°C. If it is too hot, the cat will refuse to eat, and it will also destroy the nutritional content of the food. During the period of the pet’s illness, due to the decline in all aspects of body functions, the immunity and resistance are not as good as before, so of course the food for the day is eaten, and if there is any remaining food, do not feed the next day. Clean as much as possible. Food taken out of the refrigerator in summer should be heated before feeding it to pets. Food that is too cold may cause gastrointestinal diseases again.
When cats are sick, parents need to pay more attention to their lives. After all, the resistance is not as healthy as before. Paying more attention can avoid secondary infection.
