Signs of improvement in cat gastroenteritis can be observed from three aspects: first, the cat's mental state improves, second, the cat's stool begins to become normal, and third, the cat's appetite begins to recover and starts to drink a small amount of water and eat.
1. Mental status improves
When a cat suffers from gastroenteritis, due to severe inflammation, if it does not eat or drink, and nutritional supplements are not enough, the cat may also suffer from pain, resulting in poor mental status. . After treatment, the cat's inflammation was reduced, the pain of the disease was relieved, and the cat's mental state also improved. The main manifestation of improvement in mental state is that the cat changes from a state of sluggishness, where it often lies still, to starting to move around, making noises, and even showing movements to get close to its owner.
2. The cat’s stool begins to become normal
Vomiting and diarrhea are common symptoms of cats suffering from gastroenteritis. Generally, when treating gastroenteritis, vomiting and diarrhea will be treated symptomatically. Use antiemetics (such as antiemetics) and antidiarrheals (such as montmorillonite powder) to relieve symptoms. With the help of drugs, the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea can be improved. It can be observed that the cat no longer vomits, and the feces begins to take shape, approaching the normal shape.
3. The cat’s appetite begins to recover
Cats with gastroenteritis will not eat or drink, and will ignore water and cat food. After treatment, the cat improves and will start to drink a small amount of water and eat some cat food or canned food. It is recommended that after the cat’s appetite begins to recover, the owner should feed the cat small meals frequently and feed some probiotics to help the cat regulate its intestinal tract.
After cats’ gastroenteritis improves, owners need to pay more attention to their diet. It is recommended to feed intestinal prescription cat food for a period of time, and do not feed too greasy meat or snacks for the time being to reduce the burden on the cat’s intestines.
