After the cat gives birth to kittens, the owner first needs to feed the cat liquid food that is high in protein and easy to digest, such as chicken breast porridge, beef porridge, fish porridge, etc. Secondly, you can give your cat some food to help with lactation, such as goat milk powder, crucian carp soup without any seasoning, etc. Finally, because cats need to consume a lot of energy during the birth process, and a large amount of calcium is lost from the body, causing the cat to be very weak after giving birth, so the cat needs to eat food rich in calcium, or directly feed it a liquid specially designed for pets. Calcium can quickly help cats recover their physical fitness.
1. Eat foods with high protein content
Cat birth is a very energy-consuming process, so cats are relatively weak after giving birth. At this time, the owner should give the cat some liquid food that is high in protein and easy to digest, such as chicken breast porridge, beef porridge, fish porridge, etc. If possible, you can also choose nutritionally balanced lactation cat food, and be sure to adhere to the feeding principle of small meals and frequent meals.
2. Eat food that helps with lactation
First of all, when cats have just given birth, they are very weak. At this time, the owner can feed the cat more nutrients to help Make sure the cat has enough milk. Secondly, if the cat’s milk supply is always low, the owner can also feed the cat goat milk powder, make some crucian carp soup without any seasoning, or go directly to the pet hospital for a lactation injection. Finally, when breast milk is insufficient, the owner can also make some goat milk powder for the kitten to drink.
3. Eat calcium-rich foods or liquid calcium
Cats will lose a lot of calcium during childbirth, so they need to supplement calcium-rich foods after delivery, or directly Add pet-specific calcium powder or liquid calcium to the food. However, generally, owners should supplement the mother cat with calcium before giving birth to prevent the mother cat from losing a lot of calcium when feeding the kittens after giving birth, which may lead to postpartum hypocalcemia, unsteady standing, poor appetite, and panting.
