As we all know, cats like to lick everything they encounter with their tongues, so they often lick dirt and germs into their stomachs, which can lead to enteritis. So, what should we do if a cat gets enteritis? We can’t change the cat’s habits, but we need to know how to treat the cat’s disease when it is sick. The editor will teach you below!

Cat gastroenteritis is usually divided into bacterial gastroenteritis and viral gastroenteritis. The clinical symptoms are usually diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, lack of energy, etc. For general gastroenteritis in cats, parents can diagnose and treat cats by themselves. ​​​​​​

1. Regulating the digestive system

Recommended medications: lactase, multi-enzyme tablets, lactic acid bacteria tablets, animal micola, Livju Intestine, Zhengchang Sheng and other live fungus drugs. Help cats regulate digestive tract flora.

2. Anti-inflammation

If regulating the digestive system for three days does not have a big effect, you can consider eliminating intestinal inflammation in cats.

Here is a problem with the choice of anti-inflammatory drugs: 99% of intestinal infections are caused by bacilli. The best choices for dealing with bacilli are gentamicin sulfur, kanamycin and other drugs. Among them, gentamicin has a relatively large molecular weight and will not be absorbed by the internal organs when taken orally. It is the first choice drug for cats to deal with intestinal inflammation.

It should be noted that half an hour after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, the cat needs to be fed some digestive aids with live fungi, such as Lactase, Mommy's Love, etc., to help the cat restore its digestive ability.

3. Diet

If enteritis is severe, it is recommended to eat mainly liquid food every day, with small meals and frequent meals. If diarrhea and vomiting are frequent (especially when diarrhea occurs in the intestinal mucosa), food and water should be fasted for about 12 hours.
