Symptoms of poor gastrointestinal problems in cats:

1. Bad breath and smelly stools. When a cat exhales and the smell is pungent and the feces it excretes is smelly, it is actually a signal that something bad is going on in the body.

2. Loss of appetite. Cats with gastrointestinal discomfort will have a greatly reduced appetite and lose interest in their favorite foods. Some cats may even refuse to eat.

3. There may be gastric mucosal ulcers. After the cat eats, it will cause a large amount of gastric acid secretion, irritating the ulcer site, causing the cat to have stomach pain, and thus trigger vomiting symptoms.

4. Rough and messy coat. Due to poor gastrointestinal function, the ability to digest and absorb nutrients is reduced, and the nutritional level of skin and hair is poor, resulting in rough and messy coat.

5. Constipation. If a cat defecates in the litter box, but does not pass stool or passes out a small amount of bloody stool, the cat will feel uncomfortable and may bark incessantly because it cannot defecate normally.

Cat gastrointestinal care methods:

1. Frequent food changes will cause cats to have a loss of appetite or even refuse to eat. It is generally recommended to change cat food every 4-6 months. For scientific food changes, refer to the seven-day food change method. You must not change food suddenly within one day, otherwise it will cause intestinal discomfort in cats, causing vomiting and diarrhea.

2. When raising cats, pet owners must feed cats food on time, and the portions fed to cats should be planned according to the cat’s weight. This will help the cat’s intestinal digestion and absorption. It is very important for cats with poor gastrointestinal problems.

3. Supplement probiotics regularly. Supplementing probiotics can help cats adjust the intestinal flora environment and promote food digestion and absorption.
