Is it normal for a cat to have diarrhea after deworming?
It is normal for cats to experience diarrhea or soft stools after deworming. Usually, when anthelmintic drugs enter the cat's intestines, they will stimulate the intestinal epithelial cells, leading to an imbalance in the intestinal flora structure, and the cat will suffer from diarrhea. It is recommended that owners feed cats special probiotics to regulate the structure of gastrointestinal flora. In addition, since the main ingredients of anthelmintics are toxic, excessive use may cause poisoning in cats.
Solutions for cats with diarrhea after deworming:
1. After feeding the cat deworming medicine, it will be irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, so it needs protection and conditioning. Do not feed cats anything they have never eaten before, and do not change cat food during this period. To regulate the gastrointestinal tract, you can give the cat Pointe’s active probiotics an hour after taking the deworming medicine to protect and regulate the gastrointestinal tract.
2. If the cat has diarrhea that lasts for 2-3 days due to the anthelmintics, the cat should remember to replenish water and not feed it too much irritating food to prevent the cat from having diarrhea and dehydration.
3. If the cat’s stool is still unformed after three days of deworming, take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time. If the cat suffers from diarrhea caused by post-gastroenteritis, it is recommended to give the cat Velik’s basic carbonic acid secretion. Tablets can protect cats’ intestines from harmful substances and effectively stop diarrhea.
