CATDOLL : Can probiotics solve cat constipation problems?

The most common symptoms of constipation in cats are not defecating for many days or frequently going in and out of the litter box but not defecating, or screaming during defecation, dry and hard feces with blood, etc. Probiotics cannot solve the problem of constipation in cats. Cats eating pet-specific probiotics regularly can help cats regulate their gastrointestinal flora, make their digestive system more complete, and effectively prevent constipation. However, if a cat is already constipated, then taking probiotics alone will not cure constipation. After a cat becomes constipated, it is necessary to go to the pet hospital for treatment and take medication in time.

What are the causes and solutions for cat constipation?

1. Dietary problems. If the food the owner feeds the cat is too dry or too oily, or the cat food is frequently changed or the cat food purchased is of poor quality or too cheap, it will cause constipation in the cat. Therefore, the owner should pay special attention to the cat's diet, choose good quality cat food, and ensure sufficient clean drinking water.

2. Cats do not exercise enough. Nowadays, since owners are busy at work, they have less time to play with cats, which in turn causes cats to exercise too little. However, owners do not know that cats eat so much but do not move to digest, which may also cause constipation. Therefore, when owners are free, remember to take cats out for a walk or play with them more often.

3. Eating too much. If a cat eats too much at one time, it will cause indigestion or gastroenteritis, and constipation. The owner should accompany and guide the cat more according to the situation. You can gently rub the cat's stomach, give it more yogurt, honey water, etc., and add some Guden six kinds of bacteria for cats to promote intestinal peristalsis and improve defecation as soon as possible.

4. Hairball syndrome. When there are too many hairballs in the cat's body and the cat cannot excrete them smoothly, constipation will occur. Therefore, the owner needs to supplement the cat with hairball paste or cat grass in time to help the cat expel the hairballs and restore the cat to a healthy state.
