How to determine whether a cat has gastroenteritis? Let s find out

With the increase in the number of cats in recent years, there are more and more cases of gastroenteritis in cats, mainly because the owner is busy with work and neglects the healthy diet of cats! At the same time, many people have raised relevant questions, how to determine whether cats have gastroenteritis? If you want to know the answer, come and have a look.

1. Observe the mental state and appetite of cats

When the cat is sick, the spirit and appetite will be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, if the owner finds that the cat has abnormal symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever, it can be preliminarily determined to be gastroenteritis. Because the disease has affected the cat's appetite, it must be taken to the pet hospital for diagnosis in time to see what is the specific cause of the inflammation and to treat the primary disease well.

2. Touch the abdomen of the cat

Because cat gastroenteritis can have symptoms of abdominal pain, the owner can gently stroke it with his hands or gently touch the abdomen of the cat with his fingers. If the cat shows great resistance and escapes quickly, it can further determine that the cat has gastroenteritis.

3. Observing the shape of the cat's feces, diarrhea or diarrhea is a typical symptom of gastroenteritis. Therefore, if the cat is observed to have diarrhea and there are undigested food in the feces, the smell is still very bad, or the feces are black or black-green, with bloodshot and blood clots, it can basically be confirmed that the cat has gastroenteritis.

Note: If bloodshots appear in the cat's feces, it means that the inflammation is already serious. At this time, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment immediately to avoid delaying the condition.
