What You Need to Do If the Kitten Does not Couch

Together with a small kitten, big problems come into the house. After all, a kitty is a living being, 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 (a stressful situation and changes in nutrition), there may be others.

For example, a cat with a rare abnormal abnormality was recently found. 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". That's when 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 owners simply refused the pet that had fallen into a difficult situation. Then the public movement "Rights of Animals" from Novosibirsk came to the arena. They paid for the operation of the baby, and the kind 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 follow that in what place the animal equips to itself a toilet, in fact at first the feces almost does not have unpleasant original smell. But while this place is not 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 really pump, you should include in its 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 should add a drop of castor oil to the food . 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 for the simple reason 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 method 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 his mother's hopes.

If this method does not bring the desired results, 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 does not pump for 3-4 days, veterinarians advise to help the baby's sphincter mechanically. For this it is necessary to take a conventional 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 or a towel so that it 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 remove it, depicting the fact of leaving the anal feces, then re-enter. Thus, the sphincter not yet used to its "duties" is being developed.
