Kittens who accidentally eat cat litter may suffer from symptoms such as vomiting, constipation, blood in the stool, and diarrhea. If the kitten only eats a small amount of cat litter by mistake, the owner can feed it some probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract and prevent the cat from experiencing diarrhea. But if you accidentally eat a large amount of cat litter, and If obstruction without defecation has occurred, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital as soon as possible for further examination and treatment, such as gastric lavage and induction of vomiting. Surgery may be required if necessary.
1. Vomiting
The cat litter currently on the market mainly includes pine cat litter, bentonite cat litter, tofu cat litter, etc. Generally speaking, these cat litters will cause fermentation after being eaten, causing stomach upset. Excess gas can cause the cat to vomit.
2. Constipation
Because bentonite cat litter is made of soil and does not dissolve in water, if the kitten accidentally eats more bentonite cat litter, it may cause constipation. Constipation, in severe cases, can also cause intestinal obstruction in cats, causing unbearable abdominal pain in cats.
3. Blood in the stool
Because the particles of crystal cat litter have edges and corners, if the kitten accidentally eats the crystal cat litter, it is likely to scratch the intestines and cause blood in the stool. .
4. Diarrhea
Because used cat litter contains a large number of bacteria, kittens can easily become infected and develop enteritis after eating it by mistake, and then they will develop symptoms of diarrhea.
