symptoms of Diarrhoea in Cats

You can learn a lot about the health of the cat from his poop. Whether you've just adopted your first kitten or shared your home with cats for many years, look for some key signs when you scrap garbage.
Most cats will poop at least once a day. If they are healthy, their poop must be: be dark brown in color. Do not feel too hard or too soft or doughy. Do not smell bad, even if a smell is normal.

Diarrhea is not uncommon in cats and there are many reasons why your cat may suffer. Sometimes it comes and goes fast. Other times, it can last for days, weeks, months or return periodically.

Diarrhea that lasts 24 to 48 hours will probably not be a problem unless you have an older cat or kitten. But if it lasts longer, the cat can become dehydrated, which can be dangerous.

• causes of cat diarrhea

Some common causes of cataracts include:

• Changes in diet, 
• food allergies or intolerances
•  Inflammatory bowel disease
•  Colitis To (intestinal parasites) 
• Pancreatic
•  cancer
•  Hyperthyroidism

If your cat has diarrhea that lasts more than a day or two, consult your veterinarian to determine the cause. Call your veterinarian immediately if the diarrhea is black or bloody, or if it occurs with fever, vomiting, tiredness or loss of appetite.

The treatment your cat needs depends on the cause of his diarrhea. Some will need prescription medications, such as metronidazole or prednisolone, to control inflammation. Your veterinarian may recommend a special diet if she feels the problem is a food allergy or intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colitis. For some cats, a vermifuge medication or probiotics may also be needed.
To avoid diarrhea, do not give dairy products to your cat, such as milk or yogurt - many cats can not digest them properly. In addition, if you change the brand or type of food you give it, be sure to present it for several days by mixing it with smaller and smaller amounts of the old food, until he only eats the new one.

•  constipation

When a cat is constipated, he will have to pay a lot to try to bend or will not be able to produce litter. You do not have to worry if it happens only sometimes. However, if it is more common for your pet, contact your veterinarian.
Cats can be constipated for several reasons, including:

• Over-grooming, which causes extra hair in the digestive tract.
•  Kidney problems.
• Feline megacolon - when the large intestine becomes very large and the muscles do not contract anymore, it is difficult to dry the stool and accumulate it.
•  Something that blocks the colon, for example a string or a bone. 
• Diets that do not contain enough fiber
•  Thickness problems, such as tumors or tight spaces
•  Back problems or pain

To relieve the cat's constipation, the veterinarian may suggest you give him more fiber, for example by adding canned pumpkin to his usual food. She can also advise you to choose foods that are easier for your pet to digest. Hairball medications can also help.
