What to do if the kitten doesn’t defecate?

1. The owner can stimulate the kitten to defecate. Generally, the mother cat will stimulate the kitten’s anus by licking it. Help the elimination of feces. If there is no female cat, the owner will have to shoulder this important task. In fact, the method is very simple. Just use a cotton swab or wet paper towel dipped in warm water and gently press the kitten's anus.

2. Prepare a litter box for the kittens. Some cats have never used a litter box since they were born, but once they leave their mother cats, they will consciously go to the litter box to defecate. This is consistent with their habits. Nature is related to the individual. Before cats were raised by humans, they needed to survive in the highly competitive nature. The smell of feces would make other predators find them, and cats would cover their own bodies with soil or other things after defecating. Poop to mask the smell. Later, cats were adopted by human families, but this instinct of most cats has not disappeared, so they can use the litter box without being taught by their owners.

3. Teach kittens to defecate at fixed points. For kittens who do not know how to defecate in the litter box, teaching them to defecate at fixed points is not difficult. The owner can first observe the cat’s defecation habits. For example, if a cat is used to defecating within half an hour after a meal, the owner can put the kitten into the litter box within half an hour after feeding them. If your kitten poops in the litter box, don't forget to give them a little comfort and praise. If the kitten doesn't poop in the litter box, don't scold him and wait patiently for the next training opportunity.

4. If the kitten has difficulty defecating, it is recommended that the owner feeds some probiotics first to see if it works. If it does not work, you can go to the hospital to buy some lactulose or Kesel, but for small cats Cats are generally not recommended to use Kaiserlu to avoid anal prolapse. Dilute lactulose and pour it into the anus with a syringe. First pour it once according to your weight and observe the bowel movements. Do not pour it all the time. In addition, you can also take some lactulose orally.

5. After defecation, it is recommended to give the cat some easy-to-digest food, such as liquid cans, milk cakes for kittens, etc.

Notes on training kittens to defecate

1. Do not scold the cat during the process of defecation.

2. For young cats, the litter box must be chosen with a low edge, otherwise they will give up defecating in the litter box because they cannot climb into the litter box.

3. If the kitten is sick and causes diarrhea, it may also defecate in other places because it is too late to go to the litter box. The owner must first treat the cat’s illness and then train them to defecate at a designated location.
