complete guide to cat diarrhea

ⅠFour forms of diarrhea

The essence of diarrhea is that the stool contains too much water.

①Osmotic diarrhea

There are too many unabsorbable solutions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Causes: eating too much, indigestion, weak digestion, inflammatory bowel disease.

②Secretory diarrhea

Excessive secretions (water, electrolytes, etc.) enter the gastrointestinal tract Caused by the way.

Cause: Bacterial endotoxin invasion stimulates intestinal mucosal secretion (other unusual cases are not described here)

③Permeability diarrhea

The gastrointestinal mucosa was injured and damaged, and all the substances that should not enter into the gastrointestinal tract were caused.

Causes: viral enteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, etc.

④Changes in intestinal peristalsis

Originally, peristalsis A was suddenly reduced by half, resulting in no water enough time to be absorbed, causing diarrhea.

Causes: neurological dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome.

①Acute and chronic: acute diarrhea for 2 to 3 weeks ,

②Severe and non-severe

-Written at the end-

Shovelers who review carefully should understand that, whether it is vomiting or diarrhea, there are various reasons. It can’t be answered with just a few words and a picture.

Of course, a series of laboratory tests (complete blood count, serum biochemistry, fecal test, urine test, etc.) are time-consuming and expensive.

So I hope that shovel friends will pay more attention to keep the cat’s balanced nutritional intake! Supplement vitamins, trace elements, lactoferrin from time to time, come on!
