As we all know, the birth of a cat is a very long process, in which it consumes a lot of physical strength, the body is very weak, and the disease resistance is significantly reduced. At this time, a certain amount of nutrition is needed and supplemented. If not properly treated, it is easy to suffer from uterine diseases, and in severe cases, it will leave sequelae. Therefore, postpartum care for cats is very important.

2 hours after the cat gives birth, you should observe the cat’s delivery.

If there is a stillbirth, it should be removed in time, but you must be careful and do not touch the mother cat and kittens. Do not tamper with the farrowing box or the contents of the farrowing box. After the kittens have just given birth, there is no need to clean the birth box. The mother cat can keep the birth box clean by herself, such as eating the meconium and secretions of the kittens, and licking away the fetal fluid all over her body. In addition, the female cat is relatively weak after giving birth and has to breastfeed her kittens, so her own disease resistance is reduced, so postpartum care for the female cat should be strengthened.

They should be fed several times a day and given adequate drinking water. The quality and quantity of food should be reasonable. You should also pay attention to keeping it warm, and keep the environment quiet and clean after delivery. Do not touch the surrounding utensils casually. Food basins and water should be cleaned and disinfected frequently to prevent the occurrence and spread of diseases. Postpartum care is mainly divided into the following aspects:

1. Postpartum nutrition issues

In terms of feeding, pay attention to the full value of the nutritional components of the feed. In addition, increase the amount of feeding as needed. At the same time, ensure that the feed is fresh, nutritious and easy to digest. Increase the frequency of feeding appropriately and provide clean drinking water.

Protein is the most important nutrient for cats. It plays a very important role in maintaining the health of cats, promoting growth and development, and ensuring tissue repair. It cannot be replaced by any nutrient. To supplement protein for cats, you can choose some better quality cat food.

2. Environmental and management issues

In terms of management, it is extremely important to provide a quiet, clean, dry, and temperature-friendly living environment for female cats to restore health and improve disease resistance. The cat litter must be disinfected regularly, and leftover food, feces and contaminated bedding should be removed in a timely manner to maintain The cleanliness and sanitation of the surrounding environment should allow cats to exercise appropriately outdoors in sunny weather.

3. Disease prevention

In terms of disease prevention, while strengthening feeding and management, pay attention to the occurrence of uterine diseases and mastitis, which are the two major postpartum diseases. Once the disease occurs, you should go to the pet hospital for treatment immediately.

The postpartum care of the female cat has a great impact on her future growth and pregnancy, and is also crucial to the development of the kitten, so it is very important to do a good job in postpartum care.
