Can shorthair cats eat beef meal?
Short-haired cats cannot eat beef meal. Beef meal contains a lot of salt, and cats do not have sweat glands on their body surface, so the salt in the body cannot be eliminated. The salt in the cat's body must be excreted through the kidneys. If the cat eats too salty, it will increase the load on the kidneys and lead to kidney failure. Moreover, long-term consumption of foods with high salt content will also affect the cat's hair, causing it to become dull and dull, or even cause a large amount of hair loss.
What to do if a short-haired cat accidentally eats beef meal:
1. If the cat does not have gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, there is no need to worry too much.
2. If the cat has the above symptoms, it is recommended to stop feeding beef powder at this time. On the premise of ensuring that the cat has no other basic diseases, you can consider feeding the cat intestinal conditioners such as pet probiotics.
3. If the symptoms are not relieved after two to three days of feeding or the symptoms begin to worsen during medication, it is recommended to take the pet to the pet hospital for further examination and treatment in time.
