Many cat owners are struggling with the problem that every time they change their cat’s food, the cat either has soft stools or vomits. Is it the cat’s problem or the cat’s food? I hope everyone can correctly understand the matter of changing food. , after changing the food, the cat won’t eat and still has eye mucus, the poop becomes smelly, and vomiting or diarrhea occurs. Everyone’s first reaction is that there is something wrong with this cat food. In fact, you only need to make preparations during the food change period based on your own cat’s situation. , you can safely spend the food replacement period. ​

Cat

Today, let’s talk about what should be done when the following problems occur after changing the cat’s food? What are the most likely causes? Let’s sort and share them with you:

The first category is more likely to be encountered by novices, that is, the cat does not eat the new cat food during the gradual change of food. The simplest thing is to try a trial pack first, especially for fussy cats. This cost is also It’s not big, and you don’t have much money for a trial pack. If you have already bought a full-size pack, don’t say that you think the new cat food is not good. If the cat doesn’t eat the new cat food, it may be that the cat’s original cat food has a stronger taste and the taste is enhanced. Then the cat You will definitely like to eat the original cat food more. In this case, you can extend the time of changing the food. If you work hard, seven days will become half a month. If the cat is overlying, you can change it bit by bit. . ​

The second category is that after changing the food, the cat has more eye droppings. Don’t blame the new cat food for now. I have also experienced food changes many times. To sum up the experience, there are two main considerations for eye droppings. In terms of heat, the first thing is getting angry. To put it simply, it means drinking too little water. If your cat doesn’t like to drink water, you should know how much it drinks in a day. It just so happens that the weather is relatively dry. At this time, It is easy to get angry when changing food.

The second thing is that you eat too much. After changing to new cat food, you must follow the feeding chart of the new cat food. The feeding chart of each brand is different, such as baked food and dried meat food. , the feeding amount will be much less than that of puffed food. Just feed according to a certain feeding amount. If it is a buffet, I have no choice. ​

The third category is when the daddy becomes smelly. In this case, it usually requires a food change period. When you try it, you will feel better. In this case, it will be the same as the new cat food. It has a certain relationship, but it is also related to the cat’s absorption. If the new cat food is said to have a lot of plant protein, but the cat does not absorb it completely, the stool will be smelly, but this thing is not a big problem, right, at most it is us. Shoveling shit stinks a bit.

Then another thing is that the cat’s gastrointestinal condition is not good. In this case, the absorption is not good. The cat cannot absorb too much protein, and the smell of the stool will also be smelly. The smell is really bad. It really does not affect the quality of this cat food. ​

The fourth category is vomiting during the food change. The easiest thing to encounter is vomiting. After the food change is successful, the daddy will be fine, but after a while, it will start again.I started to vomit. If you vomit, you should first check what is vomited. The most common thing is that if you vomit undigested cat food, it means you ate too much in a hurry, or you exercised immediately after eating, which can easily cause a physiological condition. Sexual retching.

The second thing is vomiting yellow water. If you vomit yellow water at the beginning of the food change period, besides being frightened and eating bad things, it is also possible that you are intolerant to a certain ingredient in the cat food, so stop first. Cat food and then condition the cat. If the food change has been successful, the daddy is fine, but after a while it starts to vomit yellow water again. In this case, it is probably not a big problem with the new cat food. You have to look at it from many aspects. The suggestion is He said to determine the cause first and then prescribe the right medicine. ​

The last category is soft stool, which is most likely to happen to cats with poor gastrointestinal problems. Soft stool occurs during the feeding process. In this case, the time needs to be extended, and seven days becomes half a month. , if you change from a chicken formula to a fish food, and then have soft stools, you should consider whether you are not adaptable to a certain ingredient in the cat food.

In this case, it is recommended to replace this cat food. However, if you eat it for a period of time and then have soft stools, you should consider whether it is due to lack of deworming and cold, or whether it is due to other dietary influences. , because this thing does not mean that it accumulates slowly. If it is not used to it, it will definitely be obvious. Cats will actually react in a short time. ​

Of course, the most important thing when changing food depends on the cat’s tolerance level. If the cat has a good gastrointestinal condition, it can be accepted quickly within seven days, and the cat will not have a reaction. However, if it is a more sensitive cat, While you are preparing for the transitional food exchange, you must identify the problem of food exchange and then consider the reasons.
