Wenn Ihre Katze Durchfall hat, beobachten Sie diese genau und versuchen Sie die Ursache für den Durchfall zu ermitteln. Mögliche Ursachen sind Stress, Futterunverträglichkeit, zu abrupter Wechsel des Futters, Vergiftung, Parasitenbefall, ein Infekt oder eine schwerwiegendere Krankheit. Einen Freigänger sollten Sie zunächst im Haus behalten, um ihn besser zu beobachten und mögliche Gefahrenquellen im Freien auszuschließen. Tritt der Durchfall einmalig auf und Ihre Katze wirkt ansonsten normal, sollten Sie sich nicht allzu große Sorgen machen. Sorgen Sie dafür, dass Ihre Katze sich wohlfühlt sowie ausreichend trinkt und bieten Sie ihr Schonkost an. Hält der Durchfall Ihrer Katze länger als 24 Stunden an und zeigt das Tier weitere Symptome und Verhaltensauffälligkeiten, sollten Sie auf jeden Fall einen Tierarzt zurate ziehen.

If cats are in pain, they usually try to hide it for a long time. They withdraw and show little sign of it. You can usually recognize abdominal pain in your cat by the fact that it adopts a bent posture with its back arched and its stomach drawn in. If you pick your cat up, it will not like it if it has stomach pain and will hardly tolerate you touching it. Suffering cats often show their dislike by hissing or scratching, and as abdominal pain is often a symptom of a more serious illness or injury, there are often other signs such as exhaustion, tiredness, refusal to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, growling, moaning or problems with defecation. Observe your cat closely and have it examined by a vet if you suspect abdominal pain or other symptoms.

The duration of an illness with a gastrointestinal virus depends on various factors. Healthy adult cats can recover after just a few days, while older animals and kittens need a little more time to recover. If the symptoms last longer than two weeks, they may already be chronic. If a viral infection is suspected, a vet should therefore always be consulted at an early stage.

If you notice that your cat has abdominal pain, you should also look out for other symptoms. If your pet also has diarrhea and is vomiting, first of all give him rest and a warm, safe place. After the first symptoms, refrain from feeding for a few hours. The symptoms often disappear on their own after a short time. Do not force your cat to cuddle, even if you mean well. If cats feel sick or unwell, they like to withdraw and be alone. If stomach pains and the like last longer than 12 hours, consult a vet.

If your cat is struggling with stomach problems such as gastritis, the stomach needs to rest first. Water is important to keep the fluid balance in balance, but food - whether dry food or wet food - should be avoided for a few hours after the diagnosis. After that, the motto is: step by step. It is best to opt for easily digestible, easily digestible light food. Raw fiber and fatty foods should be avoided, as they can put a lot of strain on the stomach. Easily digestible meat such as chicken or duck as well as filling and nutrient-rich foods such as rice are particularly well suited to the diet plan. The KATTOVIT Gastro range has been specially developed for cats with stomach problems and their special needs and provides easily digestible food with the best nutrients.

Gastritis in cats, whether acute or chronic, is usually curable. While acute gastritis usually does not require extensive intervention with medication and the like, chronic inflammation may require more extensive treatment depending on its intensity. Nevertheless, the cat's stomach can usually be soothed with a light diet and a change of food. However, to prevent the gastritis from recurring, the cause must also be identified and treated appropriately. This may involve incurable diseases. In any case, it is important that you react quickly as soon as symptoms appear. A protracted gastritis can lead to a stomach ulcer and, in the worst case, can be life-threatening if the stomach empties into the cat's abdomen.
