When the cat is dehydrated, we start to supplement the cat with body fluids. If the body fluid is not supplemented in time, the cat is likely to have symptoms of shock. So how do we supplement the body fluid?
Cat diarrhea and dehydration
1. Oral medicine

Oral medicines are suitable for cats that are not seriously ill, and suitable for cats with stress reactions. Then at this time, we can give cats some electrolytes. When cats are dehydrated, in addition to losing water in their bodies, they will also lose The trace elements in the body, then at this time, it is very necessary to supplement electrolytes, which can quickly replenish the trace elements of the cat and allow the cat to recover quickly. Of course, hyperosmotic fluid can also be used as a substitute.
Second, subcutaneous rehydration
The hydration effect of this method will be better than oral medicine, of course, it will be more troublesome than oral method Some, this method mainly uses subcutaneous injection. It is easy to subcutaneously inject 5% glucose, and the maximum amount of glucose can be injected not more than 50ML. The effect of this method is much better than that of oral medicine. The owner can also complete it at home, but It should be noted that not all cats will cooperate with you for intramuscular injections.
III. Intravenous injection
This method is suitable for cats with severe dehydration. At this time, cats often have symptoms of dizziness. It is in a critical state, so at this time, we can use the method of intravenous injection. Since the vein can quickly replenish a large amount of body fluids, the effect of replenishment is also very rapid. There are also various options for the injection site, but it should be noted that it is best to go to the pet hospital for intravenous injection, and it is very difficult for the owner to operate at home.
Warm reminder
In addition to drug treatment, we can’t let go of daily work. Supplements such as glucose can be added to the water to relieve dehydration in daily life.
