First, vitamin B1 is destroyed
Vitamin B1 is also called thiamine, is A sulfur-containing compound that is a coenzyme of pyruvate oxidative dehydroxylase and has the effect of promoting carbohydrate metabolism. Fish is rich in thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1, resulting in vitamin B1 deficiency in cats. In the absence of vitamin B1, acetone and lactic acid can accumulate in the body because they cannot be dehydroxylated, resulting in increased concentrations in blood and tissue lobes. In this case, the cat may have symptoms of loss of appetite and vomiting. If the situation is serious, it is likely to cause nervous disorder, paralysis, collapse, and even myocardial dysfunction or death from heart failure.
Second, vitamin E deficiency
vitamin plays an important role in regulating physiological mechanisms in cats, not only enhancing The function of the nervous system, but also involved in the composition of the enzyme system. Some vitamins do not have to be obtained from food, but vitamin E must be obtained from food. Fish will consume vitamin E in cats. If the cat lacks vitamin E, it will lead to stunted growth, sexual dysfunction, pregnancy difficulties, miscarriage and other symptoms, and cats are likely to experience anorexia and muscle atrophy. This is very likely to happen when cats are fed deep-sea fish or tuna for a long time.
Three, calcium deficiency
Because the phosphorus content in fish liver is high , It is easy to inhibit the absorption of calcium, so cats who eat fish for a long time will be deficient in calcium. Calcium is very important to the cat’s bones, muscles and nervous system, and calcium deficiency can hinder the cat’s growth and development. Therefore, if the cat usually likes to eat fish, the owner should provide the cat with calcium in time, and can give the cat some chicken necks and chicken wings. These foods have the calcium that the cat needs.
Eating fish for a long time is also easy to become addicted, then the cat will have serious picky eaters, which is not good for health, the owner should pay attention to the cat’s diet balance, Do not spoil cats. If you have other related questions, you can also consult your veterinarian.
