What are the symptoms of dehydration in cats?
1. The cat’s skin condition deteriorates and the elasticity is insufficient. If the skin on the cat’s body is pinched and does not return to its original state for a long time, it means that the cat has begun to lack water, and the longer the recovery time, the less the cat is. The more serious the water.
2. Lack of water may cause sunken eyes, dry gums, drooling, and in severe cases, may cause the cat to pant.
3. The weight becomes lighter. If you find that the cat loses weight, or even 4%-5%, it means that the cat is severely dehydrated, and this is difficult to find in the early stage.
4. You can touch the cat’s paws. If the temperature is lower than normal and very cold, the cat may be severely dehydrated at this time.
5. The urine becomes dark yellow and the water storage in the body is less. Naturally, the color of the cat’s urine will become darker, and the urine volume will also decrease. This can refer to the state of human water shortage.
6. The cat keeps walking back and forth beside the empty water bowl
and licking the empty bowl, which means that the cat has begun to lack water in the body and needs to replenish the water source in time.
Dehydration in cats
1. If the symptoms of dehydration appear in the state of illness, it is recommended that the owner directly take the cat to the pet hospital to insist on it, and treat the cat under the guidance of the veterinarian.
2. The owner should properly feed the cat some wet cat food. The water content of wet cat food is much higher than that of dry cat food. Wet cat food is usually a bit more expensive, but for the cat’s health, it’s still cost-effective. After all, a trip to the hospital costs a lot of money, so it’s better to use this money to supplement nutrition for the little cutie
3 , Feed the cat some goat milk powder every day, be sure to brew it with warm water, if the goat milk powder is brewed with hot water, the nutrition of the goat milk powder will be completely lost. Under normal circumstances, cats like to drink goat milk powder, but it does not rule out cats who only like to drink water and do not like to drink goat milk powder. Therefore, the owner should pay attention to the status of the cat eating.
4. If the kitten is just three or four months old, the only option the owner can choose is intraperitoneal rehydration. However, this method may cause peritonitis in cats, so it is best to operate under the guidance of a doctor.
