Like human constipation, cat constipation is also caused by many reasons, but we should not be careless when treating cat constipation, because if the cat's constipation is not handled properly, it will also cause other diseases to break out and lead to the deterioration of the condition. Don't be careless when it comes to constipation in cats, especially kittens and elderly cats. Let's take a look at several main reasons for cat constipation.

1. There are three factors that cause this disease:

1. Feeding and management: factors such as long-term feeding of dry food, lack of drinking water, cannibalism of human hair and foreign bodies, lack of exercise, and sudden changes in feed, environment and management may all induce the disease.

2. Diseases: Painful defecation diseases (such as rectal polyps, proctitis, rectal strictures, tumors, anal abscesses, etc.), constipation occurs due to the disappearance of normal bowel movements.

3. Self: Diseases with defecation disorder (such as medullary joint dislocation, pelvic fracture and hind limb fracture, etc.) can cause constipation.

2. Symptoms:

In the early stage, the sick cat exerts force to defecate, expelling a small amount of dry stool with mucus, or a small amount of foul-smelling loose stool. In the late stage of the disease, the sick cat may appear restless, try to defecate, but it is difficult to expel it, nervous, chirping, and frequently reviewing the abdomen. Then appetite loss or abolition, depression. Some vomit, obvious tenesmus, abdominal enlargement, and intestinal bloating.

Third, the treatment method:

1. Enema therapy: suitable for mild and simple constipation. Use 40--80 ml of warm soapy water to fill the intestines with an enema, and moderately press the fecal mass in the intestinal tract with the outside of the abdomen. Generally more effective.

2. Drug therapy: take appropriate amount of laxatives orally. Such as magnesium sulfate 5--30 grams or liquid paraffin oil 5--50 ml, orally.

3. Surgical therapy: For severe intestinal constipation, if the above methods fail to work, surgery can be performed to remove the feces from the intestinal lumen.

Four. Another way

Feed the sick cat a spoonful of salad oil to lubricate the intestines. 10ml at a time, feeding 2--3 times should help. In addition, you can give him a little milk, but not too much, usually the bottom of a bowl is enough.
