What You Need to Do If the Kitten Does not Couch
Together with a small kitten in the house comebig problems. After all, a kitty is a living thing, and a change of residence for it is a huge stress. And the food varies, the composition of the water. All this together often causes persistent constipation in feline babies.
Why does not the kitten nod? In addition to the already mentioned reasons (stress situation and changes in nutrition), there may be others.
For example, a cat with a rareanomalous deviation. He did not have an anal opening! Need for a large kitten named Elvis celebrated through the urethra. But with age, the stool became harder, and this way of emptying the bowels became impossible. Place under the tail, where there should be a normal cats hole, swelled, formed a solid "swelling". Then the owners became worried and turned to the veterinarian: "Something is wrong with our cat! The kitten does not croak already several days! "
The doctor offered a paid operation, but the ownerssimply refused to fall into a difficult situation of the pet. Then the public movement "Rights of Animals" from Novosibirsk came to the arena. They paid for the operation of the baby, and the good girl Larisa sheltered him. Now the Siamese kitten feels quite tolerable, Elvis's intestine and sphincter work is normal.
But this case is exceptional. More often owners of the pet simply can not keep track of in what place the animal equips to itself a toilet, in fact at first the feces almost have no unpleasant original smell. But until this place is found, the owners of the animal are terribly worried, consult their friends, go to the veterinary clinic asking why the kitten does not pump, and what to do with prolonged constipation. Then in the most unexpected place are found heaps, and the problem disappears by itself.
In the case if the kitten does not pump at the veryIn fact, you should include in his diet baby food firm "Agusha" with zucchini or pumpkin. Usually this mash softens the excrement and forces the intestines to work more actively.
Sometimes you need to add a little bit of power to the foodcastor oil. Only castor oil is not a very harmless remedy. It can serve as a sharp pain in the tummy tart, even cause diarrhea. So you need to be careful with him.
Although it happens that the kitten does not roll on thatThe simple reason is that his guts are accustomed to stimulation. After all, mother - a cat during childhood constantly carefully licks his child, thereby making him a tummy massage. And mummies from the human clan are familiar with this way of improving the condition of the baby. Do you remember how in the first days of your life you stroked your little belly cassock clockwise? And he immediately began to push, trying to justify my mother's hopes.
If this method does not bring the desiredresults, then you can make a small enema by filling the can with a third. Just as adults do with their babies in infancy, you can insert a small piece of baby soap into the anus.
With particularly long constipation, when the kitten is notpumps 3-4 days, veterinarians advise helping the baby's sphincter mechanically. For this it is necessary to take a usual medical pipette, only not with an outstretched tip, but with a rounded one. Then you should remove the rubber tip from it and grease the glass rounded tip with vaseline oil or baby cream.
Keeping the kitten with a thick blanket ortowels so that he does not scratch the person making the procedure, carefully insert the pipette into the hole of the ass for 1-2 centimeters. Usually, at this moment, the gases will go from the tube and the stool will begin to move. Then the tube can be removed, the work is considered complete. If the result can not be achieved immediately, it is necessary to slightly move the pipette, slowly take it out, depicting the fact of leaving the anal feces, then re-enter. Thus, the sphincter not yet used to its "duties" is being developed.
