Cats will either poop out or vomit out the hair removal cream after eating it, so further decisions need to be made based on their own circumstances. Hair removal cream is a common drug whose main ingredient is oil. After eating, it can promote the excretion of hair in the gastrointestinal tract, reduce damage to the gastrointestinal tract, and facilitate normal eating. If the hair in the gastrointestinal tract is not completely discharged after the cat eats hair removal cream, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for treatment in time.

1. Why does a cat poop out after eating hair removal cream?

Hair removal cream is a medicine that helps cats expel hair balls from the body. The ingredients of the medicine are usually oil and plant fiber, which can moisturize the intestines. It has a laxative effect on the gastrointestinal tract and the bowel. After taking the hair removal cream, it can speed up the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, which is helpful for the undigested hair in the gastrointestinal tract to be excreted through the stool, which is a normal phenomenon.

2. Why do cats vomit out hair removal cream after eating it?

Cats are relatively clean animals and will often lick their own hair, causing the shed hair to enter the gastrointestinal tract. Long-term accumulation in the stomach affects normal eating and food digestion, which can be improved by taking hair removal cream. After eating, it will promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. If the hair ball is not decomposed, the peristalsis will accelerate, causing vomiting. Moreover, the oil in the hair removal cream, such as mineral oil, will also cause vomiting after entering the cat's intestines and stomach. .

3. What are the benefits to the body of cats eating hair-removing cream?

Hair-reducing cream is a common drug that can be used to soften hair balls and promote the elimination of hair balls from the body through feces. It can also speed up the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, promote food digestion, and help increase appetite.

IV. What are the precautions for cats to eat hair-reducing cream?

In daily life, it is not recommended that owners frequently give cats hair-reducing cream for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause the speed of gastrointestinal motility. Excessive acceleration can cause diarrhea, affect the absorption of nutrients in food, and cause weight loss. It is also necessary to massage the cat's abdomen at ordinary times, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help improve indigestion.
