If the kitten has diarrhea, you should monitor the kitten’s well-being. If diarrhea suddenly worsens and worsens with the addition of other symptoms, the cat should be taken to the veterinarian as soon as possible.
After finding out the true cause of the problem, the specialist will prescribe the following remedies:
- anthelmintics;
- probiotics;
- antibiotics;
- antispasmodics;
- prebiotics;
- antiviral.
If dehydration is detected, the kitten will be given IV fluids to improve her condition.
Kitten diarrhea first aid
If the kitten’s diarrhea occurred as a one-time event, and its well-being is at a satisfactory level, you can try to help him on your own. To begin with, the animal should arrange a starvation diet, giving absolutely no food for the next 12 hours. During this time he should be offered pure water to drink.
Without veterinary appointments, the sick pet is given sorbents - Enterosgel or Smecta. These drugs remove toxins from the body. For the convenience of injecting medicine into the mouth, you can use a syringe without a needle.
If the kitten feels better, it can be fed the next day. It is allowed to give 3 days kefir and a small amount of cooked rice. On the third day, the diet can be supplemented with boiled chicken breast. With each subsequent day you should gradually expand the ration, returning the animal to its normal diet. If these simple measures fail to stabilize the pet, further treatment should be discussed with your veterinarian.
