How to take care of a cat that is sick

Have you ever noticed that cats that usually like to eat suddenly stop eating? This often indicates that he is sick. When cats are sick, their sense of smell and appetite tend to decrease. They won't eat anymore. When cats do not eat for a long time, they will consume their stored fat to obtain energy, and consuming fat requires the participation of protein in the body. If they do not eat for a long time, protein will eventually stop supplying, and the cat’s liver will be wrapped in fat. This will seriously threaten the cat's health. The following article will introduce you to several common methods.

1. Take the cat to the vet first

The first thing you should do is take your cat to the vet to determine what serious disease the cat has. Only when the condition can be controlled can the cat slowly recover its appetite, and then it will want to eat slowly.

2. Heat up cat food

When a cat is sick, the whole body is in a relatively poor state. If it still eats cat food directly as in the past, it will burden the intestines. At this time, if you heat the cat's food, his intestines will not be too irritated, and the cat will heal faster.

3. Replenish moisture

When a cat is sick, dehydration is a very serious matter. If your cat refuses to drink water, then you can add water to the food.

4. Feed with a syringe

If your cat is sick and unable to feed on its own, you can use a syringe to feed the cat with liquid food. Do not put it straight into your mouth, as the food will flow directly into the bottom of the throat, causing the cat to choke. Repeat several times to change the position of the syringe to avoid excessive rubbing of the skin on a certain part.
