CATDOLL : What should I do if my cat has bloating due to eating too much?

Cats eat too much and have bloating. How to treat it:

1. Pay attention to your cat’s diet

Cat food may cause bloating in cats. Some cat feeds contain soy. When the cat's intestines cannot digest it, the bacteria in the intestines will ferment these indigestible substances and produce gas, causing bloating. The owner should change the cat food in time. When the cat's stomach is bloated, try to feed it with liquid food that is easy to digest, such as millet porridge, to see if the cat has an appetite.

2. Probiotics regulate the stomach and intestines

To relieve cats' bloating and loss of appetite, the most important thing is to adjust the cat's stomach. To adjust the cat's stomach and promote appetite, it is also necessary to let the cat take probiotics, which can strengthen the stomach and digestion, improve picky eating, and enhance the cat's appetite. Cat owners can mix probiotics in cat food, or feed it with honey water or yogurt. Not only do cats like to drink it to stimulate their appetite, but it is also more convenient to feed.

3. Pay attention to details in daily feeding

In daily life, try not to feed human food to cats. Not only can it easily make cats picky eaters and lose their appetite, but the meat fed to cats must be processed and contain less salt and oil. Clever owners can also make some homemade fruit and vegetable food to try to feed cats. Also, pay attention to regularity when feeding cats, 2-3 meals a day, and remove food when the cat is 70% to 80% full at each meal to prevent the cat from eating too much and suffering from indigestion and poor appetite.

Cat diet notes:

1. Cats cannot be vegetarians. Cats do not have the ability to convert or synthesize certain key amino acids and vitamins in plants. Some health problems are associated with a vegan diet for cats, and nutritional deficiencies can lead to serious or even fatal health problems, including heart failure, neurological abnormalities, and blindness.

2. Eat small meals frequently. Cats really eat small meals frequently, which means not only eating a few bites each time and several times a day, but also tasting different foods. In fact, this is very beneficial to the health of cats. It not only avoids cats from overeating, but also allows cats to get as much nutrition as possible through limited food intake.

3. Cats cannot drink milk. The reason is that milk contains lactose, and cats are lactose intolerant, which means they cannot digest lactose well, causing severe diarrhea.

4. Cats cannot eat raw fish for a long time. First of all, there are many parasites and bacteria in raw fish. Cats will increase the chance of being infected with these pathogenic microorganisms if they eat raw fish. Therefore, if cats have the habit of eating raw fish, they must be dewormed on time. Secondly, the content of thiamine enzyme in raw fish is very high, which can decompose the vitamin B1 in the cat's body. Long-term consumption will cause vitamin deficiency. So we should not feed cats raw fish!

5. Cats cannot eat cold food, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. However, cats also don’t like food that is too hot, so it is best to adjust the food you feed your cat to the right temperature.

6. Do not eat bones and meat: Cats do not chew like dogs, and eating bones and meat can easily scratch the intestines and cause bleeding.

7. Cats love to eat liver, but be sure to eat it in moderation and leave a long time between two servings. Excessive intake can cause vitamin A poisoning and bone problems in cats.
