    Now most of the urban cats are relatively weak, and it is very common to encounter cat soft stool, but the novice shovel officer panicked and didn't know how to deal with it, so today we will talk about what to do with cat soft stool!

    First of all, we need to be able to distinguish what soft stool is, and many friends are wrong.

    The color of normal cat poop is black or tan, oblong, smooth surface, and microporous inside. The cat's freshly pulled poop will be a little soft within 1-2 hours, but it will gradually harden after that. Cats with constipation will have irregular particle size when they pull out the poop.

    If the cat has soft stool, after 1-2 hours, the poop is still soft and a little sticky.

    The root cause of soft stools in cats is indigestion.

    Changing food, changing recipes, eating too many snacks, etc., can cause soft stools. How to judge whether the food is suitable based on the cat's poop. Taking the yellow soft stool as a reference, if the cat eats a food, the stool is not dry, does not diarrhea, and does not vomit, it means that the food is appropriate.

    If after eating a food, the stool is soft and not formed, it means that you have given too much, if the cat is still soft after reducing the amount, then it means that the food is not suitable, don't feed it anymore. And when encountering soft stools in cats, do not administer the drug immediately, first of all, you should observe for 1-2 days, if there is no change, and then condition.

    In addition to changing food and temporary discomfort in the stomach, there is also a common reason - cold. Especially in winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is relatively large, and catching a cold can sometimes cause cats to have soft stools. In this case, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping the cat warm and observe for 1 day, in general, the cat will soon be able to recover on its own.

    If you don't recover, you can feed Qing Kailing.

    1 3 sachets each time, you can eat it for 3 days, and if you are worried, you can add probiotics.

    Cooperate with the regulation of the gastrointestinal environment.

    It is worth noting that everyone must distinguish between soft stools and loose stools. Soft stools can be restored to normal with probiotic conditioning, while diarrhea requires medication**. In addition, if you have soft stools for a long time, it is recommended that you send them to the hospital for examination, it is likely that the cat's internal flora will be soft because of a problem with one of the cat's organs.

    It's not about feeding probiotics to cats when they encounter soft stools! It is easy to have diarrhea when feeding probiotics without identifying the cause!

    As a shovel officer, it is a good thing to care for cats, but don't be too nervous, the first thing to do is to observe the state of the cat, recall why the cat has soft stools, whether there is any change in the diet, and don't give the cat medicine without knowing it!!
