My cat can't defecate - what to do?

 

When an animal becomes ill, it often has some subtle symptoms that most people might miss. Therefore, it is very important that the pet's owner is well aware of its habits and is always aware of its behavior, so it will know when something is wrong.

In the case of cats, a common problem that can appear at some stage in their lives is constipation. This problem may be related to more serious illnesses, but it may also simply mean that your pussy hasn't liked some recent change in her routine. That is why,

It is important that the owner take the animal to the vet as soon as the first sign that something is not right appears.

 

What to do when my cat can't defecate? In this article by Pet Emporium we give some tips that can help your companion to relieve himself.

 

My cat cannot urinate and defecate

There are many reasons why a cat does not urinate and does not defecate and it is very important to find out which is the case with your companion. Lack of exercise, little water, fur balls, and ingesting hard objects such as bones can clog a feline's intestines, not allowing it to do its bidding.

 

That is why,

It is always very important to maintain a healthy routine and keep an eye on whether your pet is feeding correctly. Also, don't forget to keep dangerous objects and human food out of your pet's reach, as it can harm your pet's body. The same goes for many plant species.

 

An unbalanced diet

The lack or excess of fiber can also be the cause of the cat not being able to urinate and defecate, since this type of food absorbs water, which can harden the feces, causing the animal not to be able to put them to outside.

 

Remember

cats are animals very attached to their routine and any significant change can alter their intestinal production. Moving home, the arrival of new pets or the absence of a family member can affect your feline. Therefore, if it is necessary to make any changes in the pussy's daily life, it is recommended

if it is done gradually, not forgetting to give more attention and care during the adaptation period.

 

Urinary tract diseases also often present constipation as a primary symptom, so always be on the lookout! If you notice that your cat is having difficulty urinating and defecating, take it

o to the vet as soon as possible. Kidney stones and infections are serious problems that can be discovered from this symptom and, if not treated quickly, can turn into chronic problems or lead the animal to death.

 

Constipation in cats: symptoms

If you notice that your kitten doesn't need to,

it is recommended that you take him for an appointment with a doctor you trust. Only then will your pet be diagnosed, making it possible to find the best treatment for him.

 

Normally, a feline with a trapped bowel tends to also have the following symptoms:

 

Lethargy;

Little or no appetite;

Weight loss;

Vomiting;

Colic;

Uncomfortable posture, tending to stoop when sitting or walking;

Doing needs outside the sandbox;

Hard stools or diarrhea;

Difficulty to pee and poop, spending a lot of time in the box without being able to do anything;

Urine with blood;

Discomfort when trying to make ends meet, meowing and moving around.

Pay attention to the appearance of your cat's stool to see if there are any signs of a problem. When he's healthy, his poop should be round and well formed, with a dark brown hue. If you notice any irregularities, or a slightly lighter color, it's a sign that something isn't right in the pussy's body.

 

How to make a cat make feces

If your kitten is having trouble making stools, make sure she's getting the right amount of fiber and give her more water. If the pussy is not interested in the liquid, you can give it to him in a syringe, as it is very important that he stays hydrated.

 

Cat milk (cats cannot drink regular milk) is also welcome to help your pet relieve your bowels. Another tip is to mix the hard food with the pâtés and give it to the animal once a day. If your pet's problem isn't something more serious, these suggestions along with some natural laxative can help you defecate.

 

Massaging your pet's tummy is also a good idea, especially if you notice your pet has colic, as this can stimulate the digestive system to function. Even if you put these tips into practice, be sure to take your partner to the veterinarian for a quick and complete diagnosis, which is very important to ensure the animal's health.
