Whether humans or animals, they will have constipation. Some adult cats can take some medicine, but for kittens, there are not many medicines that can be taken. So how can kittens be constipated to help defecate?
If the kitten is only mildly constipated, the owner can help the kitten defecate smoothly by wiping his butt with a wet tissue or cotton swab, increasing water consumption, improving diet, and feeding probiotics. However, if the kitten is constipated very seriously and the above treatment method is still useless, you need to take the kitten to the pet hospital in time, or consult a pet doctor, and use Kaiser to relax the cat under the guidance of the pet doctor to avoid causing harm to the cat.
1. Wipe the butt with a wet tissue or cotton swab. The kitten is young and does not defecate independently. Generally, the female cat licks the anus and stimulates the defecation. If the female cat does not have the help, it will cause constipation. So at this time, the owner can use a wet tissue or cotton swab to gently wipe the cat's anus and stimulate it to defecate.
2. Increase the amount of water to drink
If the amount of water to drink for a kitten can also cause constipation, the owner can put more bowls of fresh water at home, or prepare a cat water dispenser so that the kitten can drink water anytime and anywhere, and increase the amount of water to drink for the kitten, which can also help the cat defecate to a certain extent.
3. Improve diet
If the food given to the kitten is dry and the kitten does not like to drink water, it will easily cause constipation. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner let the cat eat more water or foods with a high content of water, such as goat milk powder, porridge, soup, etc., to increase the moisture in the intestines and soften the feces, so that the cat can defecate.
4. Feeding probiotics
Because the intestines of the kitten have not yet developed and are sensitive and fragile, and have poor digestive abilities, they are prone to constipation. Therefore, the owner can regularly give cats probiotics for pets, which can help cats regulate the gastrointestinal bacteria, make the cat's digestive tract system more perfect, and effectively prevent cats from constipation.
5. If none of the above methods are useful, or if the kitten has suffered from constipation and has not defecated for many days, it is recommended that the owner take the kitten to the pet hospital as soon as possible and use the kitten to help the kitten defecate. Since the cat has a certain dependence on the cat, the owner cannot use it frequently, otherwise it will be easy to repeat. It is recommended that the owner take good care of daily care to prevent the cat from reappearing this situation.
