If a kitten only urinates but does not poop after drinking goat milk powder, it may be because the cat is fed too much or the goat milk powder is too thick, which causes the cat to suffer from indigestion. Secondly, it may be that the kitten’s anus lacks stimulation and therefore cannot defecate on its own. In addition, if the kitten's anus is blocked by hard feces, the kitten will not poop. Therefore, owners must pay attention. If the kitten has not pooped for a period of time and the abdomen is obviously bulging, then timely medical treatment is required.
1. Indigestion
Because kittens are young and their intestinal functions are not fully developed, their digestive capabilities are not very strong. If the owner feeds too much goat milk powder to the kitten at this time, or makes the goat milk powder too thick when mixing it, it will cause the cat to have indigestion and only urinate but not poop. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner adjust the proportion of goat milk powder in a timely manner and control the appropriate amount of feeding at each meal. It is recommended to eat small and frequent meals to facilitate the digestion and absorption of kittens.
2. Lack of stimulation
Because the kitten’s excretory system is not perfect yet and cannot defecate on its own, artificially fed kittens need artificial stimulation to defecate. If there is a lack of stimulation, the feces will accumulate and ferment in the cat's body, producing toxic substances and sometimes carbon dioxide gas, causing the cat's gastric bloating, which can be fatal in severe cases. Therefore, when a kitten cannot excrete on its own or is constipated, the owner can wipe the kitten's anus with a clean, non-irritating wet tissue to stimulate the anus to contract and defecate.
3. The feces is hard and blocks the anus
If the owner takes the above measures and the kitten still cannot poop or only poops a little, and the abdomen is obviously bulging. , then the owner should send the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time to see if it is due to hardened feces that is blocked in the kitten’s anus. If so, then it needs to be solved with Kaisellu or surgery.
