The body of a newborn kitten is not yet mature and is easily affected by the external environment to cause diarrhea. If handled improperly, it will not only affect the growth and development of the kitten, but may also cause serious consequences. So, what should we do when newborn kittens have diarrhea?
1. Observe the symptoms When we find that kittens have diarrhea, we must first observe the diarrhea, what color it is, and whether there is a peculiar smell.
If the feces contain blood or mucus, it means that the kitten has symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation and needs timely treatment.
In addition, if the kitten has diarrhea and also has symptoms such as vomiting and loss of appetite, it should also be taken seriously.
2. Adjust diet. Breast milk is the best food for newborn kittens. Breast milk can ensure that kittens have sufficient nutrition and immunity.
If the female cat has no milk or lacks milk, it is necessary to match the kitten with special milk powder.
However, the formula of milk powder should be adjusted according to the kitten's age, weight and health.
In order to avoid diarrhea after drinking milk powder, it is necessary to control the quality and amount of milk powder.
At the same time, the bottle should be cleaned and disinfected before feeding.
3. Maintain hygiene. Kittens have weak immunity and are susceptible to microbial infections.
Therefore, we need to regularly clean the body and surroundings of the kitten and disinfect with disinfectant.
In addition, kittens cannot leave their home within one to two months after birth. They must maintain the indoor temperature and humidity appropriately, close the doors and windows of the room to prevent toxic gas pollution and wind and cold.
4. Go to the hospital for treatment. If the kitten has severe diarrhea, it affects appetite and nutritional absorption, we need to take the kitten to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
The doctor will give a corresponding treatment plan based on the kitten's symptoms and physical examination results.
In short, when facing diarrhea in newborn kittens, we need to be vigilant at all times, observe and deal with it in a timely manner.
In daily care, we must adhere to basic measures such as scientific feeding, maintaining hygiene, and regular physical examinations.
Only in this way can we allow the kitten to grow up healthily and happily.
