Treatment of Cat Constipation
In the early stage, the sick cat strains to defecate, passing small amounts of dry stool with mucus or small amounts of foul-smelling loose stool. In the later stages, the cat may show restlessness, attempts to defecate with difficulty, mental tension, crying, frequent looking back at the abdomen. Subsequently, appetite declines or disappears, and the cat becomes lethargic. Some may vomit, have obvious tenesmus, abdominal distension, and intestinal bloating.
Treatment methods:
1. Enema therapy: Suitable for mild and simple constipation. Use 40–80 ml warm soapy water, administered by enema, combined with moderate external abdominal pressure to press out impacted stool in the intestine. Generally effective.
2. Medication therapy: Administer an appropriate dose of laxatives orally. For example, 5–30 grams of magnesium sulfate or 5–50 ml of liquid paraffin oil by mouth.
3. Surgical therapy: For severe intestinal constipation unresponsive to the above methods, surgical removal of impacted stool from the intestinal lumen may be performed.
Additional method (also the simplest, hehe):
You can give the kitten a spoonful of salad oil to lubricate the intestines. About 10 ml per dose, 2–3 times, should help. Also, you can give him a little milk, but be careful not to give too much; usually a bottom of a bowl is enough. (Source:PetsZone)
