Cats are self-cleaning animals that can not only comb with their tongue, but also use hair excavation and leg cleaning to maintain hygiene.
However, occasionally cats will be troubled by not pooping.
Cats do not poop may be caused by many reasons.
The following are some common problems and solutions that may cause cats to not poop: 1. Dietary problems: Experts from the Swiss Veterinary School say that cats produce too much food or do not eat enough water, and their intestines will become dry.
Therefore, cats do not poop, may be largely related to their eating habits.
To prevent cats from having constipation, we need to make sure they consume enough water and high fiber foods.
Cats who like to eat meat need to increase their calorie intake and high fiber vegetables and fruits to help digestion.
At the same time, you can drink some porridge soup with yeast, chrysanthemum, licorice, knotweed, roses, etc., or you can go to the hospital to buy medicines to regulate the stomach.
2. Lack of exercise: Cats like to hang out and sleep at home. Lack of enough exercise will cause the body to shrink and cause damage to the digestive system.
Therefore, regular exercise and activity in cats can help them digest and defecate.
Common exercise methods include having cats chase games and exercises, and also allowing them to climb up and down the stairs.
3. Drug Problems: Cats need to take medicine due to illness. Some drugs can cause constipation or poor bowel movements, such as painkillers, antidepressants, etc., which need to be taken under the guidance of a pet doctor.
If the medicine is not gentle, it will cause the traction process, which will affect the cat's relaxation of the sphincter of the vagina, causing the cat to be unwilling to defecate.
When taking medication to a cat, it should be checked regularly.
4. Anal gland problems: Cats have two very small anal glands, and their main function is to leave secretions on the poop so that other animals can sense the marks left by the cat.
Such glands can also cause cats to lick and bite without pain, causing itching in the skin and anus, which will affect defecation.
If the situation is serious, you need to go to the pet hospital for medical treatment and undergo surgical resection.
Generally speaking, when a cat does not poop, we need to find the cause and resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Provides adequate hydration and high-fiber diets and regularly performs exercises and activities for cats to help them digest and defecate.
At the same time, the cat's health should be checked in a timely manner to avoid problems caused by improper medication.
If the cat is in serious condition, you should go to the pet hospital for help.
