Constipation refers to low frequency and difficult defecation behavior. When cats are constipated, the stool stays in the colon or rectum much longer than under normal conditions, and the stool gradually becomes dry and hard and cannot be excreted from the body.
If constipation lasts too long or occurs repeatedly, the colon will expand, thus losing the ability to contract and push the feces to the rectum and excrete them out of the body. This situation is called the megacolon. In extreme cases, feces will form lumps in the colon, forming fecal tumors. In this case, a knife may require a part of the digestive tract to remove. Therefore, although constipation in cats is common, it is not a trivial matter.
Moisture is the first problem that must be solved. The shoveler can consider feeding wet cat food. Watery canned food and wonderful fresh bags may also be helpful. You should also let the hairy children drink water when pressing their heads. You can use fresh meat, fresh fish soup, and honey water without seasoning to lure them.
The hair you swallow is the key to promoting digestion, but it can sometimes cause problems. For constipated cats, sometimes the digestive effect of protein fiber may not be better than low-residue foods.
