**A great way for cats to be constipated:

1. Replenish water, the large intestine is a part that needs water very much. The large intestine of elderly cats has weakened motor function, which is more likely to cause the large intestine to reabsorb water and cause dehydration, and some animals can improve water loss through subcutaneous hydration or infusion. Therefore, we should pay attention to encourage cats to drink more water every day, usually kittens will be more curious about flowing water, so you can buy a mobile small water dispenser to ensure that cats can drink enough clean water every day.

2. Clean up the feces, if the dry and hard feces on the source cannot be discharged, then the feces formed by the food digested later will always be blocked in the stomach, so you need to use enemas or special methods to clean up the old feces of cats, and it is best to go to the pet hospital.

3. It is very important to adjust your diet. There are many prescription foods on the market that are suitable for constipated cats, such as high-fiber easy-to-digest cat food that contains low-residue and increased psyllium formulas. Regardless of the diet, a personalized plan is more suitable for each cat.

4. Use laxatives (under the guidance of a doctor), many owners will also choose this way, but it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor! It is advisable to give live probiotics to cats before using laxatives.

It can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, regulate probiotic flora, and relieve constipation in cats to a certain extent, which will be milder than laxatives. If the probiotics are not obvious, you can also continue to supplement probiotics after using laxatives, which can regulate and protect the intestines.

5. Promote the management of gastric motility (go further), many older cats lack exercise, resulting in insufficient gastric motility and will be more prone to constipation. Therefore, the daily excrement shoveler can play more games with cats to increase the amount of exercise of cats and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.

At present, many geriatric diseases involve TCM acupuncture in the management of constipation**, which not only increases the movement of the intestines, but also promotes the circulation of blood and qi, which not only improves the blood circulation of the intestines, but also effectively relieves pain.

When the cat is constipated, you can take Beichangsu, which can promote the cat's digestion and help gastrointestinal peristalsis; The daily diet should also be fed with more water, and more wet food should be added to ensure that the cat has enough water intake.
