The belly of cat's belly is soft. Cat's belly is generally divided into wet belly and dry belly. Cats with wet abdominal distension have peritoneal effusion, which usually manifests as an enlarged abdomen. The abdomen is relatively soft when pressed by palpation, and the entire abdomen will appear undulating when gently patted with hands. Without intervention and treatment, it is easy for the fluid to accumulate too much, so much that it fills the entire abdominal cavity. There is no accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity of cats with dry abdominal cavity, and their body posture is the same as that of normal cats. There are no obvious changes in the abdomen, but they will have symptoms such as unexplained fever, poor appetite, or even loss of appetite. In this case, palpate the abdomen. It's also soft and won't wave when you tap it with your hands.

What to do if cats transmit abdominal infection:

1. Antiviral treatment. Antiviral drugs are mainly nucleotide analogs, which can cut off the replication of abdominally transmitted viruses.
2. Correct inflammation: After the feline infectious peritonitis virus mutates, it will cause inflammation in multiple parts of the cat. Anti-inflammatory drugs with safe ingredients can be used to correct the inflammation.
3. Repair treatment: It mainly uses liver-protecting drugs to repair liver cells that have been damaged due to virus mutation.
4. Nutritional supplementation: After feline abdominal transmission occurs, a large amount of albumin is lost in the cat's body, and albumin needs to be supplemented to make up for the loss of albumin. Pay attention to the diet during daily feeding, enhance the cat's resistance, and pay attention to environmental hygiene, which can reduce the incidence of cat abdominal transmission.
