Solve Cat Will not Eat


Unlike dogs or other animals, very dangerous for cats if they do not eat one day. In animals that do not eat, the energy for a variety of physiological processes remain available from the burning of body fat stored in body tissues. But the process of burning fat for energy in the body of a cat is very inefficient. At the time of burning fat, there is a change in metabolism in cats that causes liver tissue damage, called hepatic lipidosis (read: dangerous cat would not eat).
There are so many causes of cat would not eat. The simplest may be because the cat was bored with the usual food given. Other causes are more severe and feared the pain. Appetite in the sick cats will be reduced or even disappear altogether. The action is best if the cat will not eat, see your veterinarian and consult your cat's problem.
For a while following a few simple actions can be done to overcome the loss of appetite, but if it continues immediately take your cat to the vet.


Stimulate appetite Sometimes a cat is a bit lazy and spoiled. Try handed food (food dish) to the front of his nose or put some food into his mouth and see if his appetite aroused. This method can be tried several times, if that does not work use the following way.
Mix & replace food Like humans, cats can get bored of the same food every day. Some dry cat food commercial (small biscuits shaped) did not have the smell and taste appetizing. This can be tried to overcome by giving wet food or canned food that does have a smell and taste stronger. If the cat will eat the wet food, try to mix the dry food with wet food.Canned food (wet) should not be given every day for the long term because in addition to inadequate nutrition can also accelerate the formation of plaque or tartar.
Various canned food products for cats are widely available in the market / pet store, from the inexpensive to expensive. Note also the content of every food brand. Foods that are often encountered, such as Whiskas & friskies usually enough to stimulate the appetite. If you want better food can be given to the brand Science Diet (Hills) or if you want better food can be given a special à ¢ â, ¬ Å "Science Diet a / da ¢ â, ¬ Â?(Science Diet Prescription a / d). In addition to flavor and aroma that is more stimulating, nutrition à ¢ â, ¬ Å "Science Diet a / da ¢ â, ¬ Â? also better and more complete. Please note special meals à ¢ â, ¬ Å "Science Diet a / da ¢ â, ¬ Â? only to be given once in a while, not for food every day.
Suapi cat Feeding the cats could by hand, a small spoon or easier to use syringe (syringe / injection) without needle. Food provided by the wet food. This wet food can be:
o> Canned Food o> dry food soaked in warm water first, then after a soft crushed with a spoon or blender o> mix canned food with dry food that has been destroyed suapi cat food while occasionally handed in prirng eating to see if the cat has to eat alone. Be careful when feeding by using a syringe. Hold the cat's head or ears, insert syringe containing the liquid food from the side (tip side of the mouth), slowly press the syringe for cats can chew and swallow food properly. Syringe containing foods should not be sprayed into the mouth of a cat because it can cause choking cat food.
Give vitamins and appetite stimulants Some supplements or vitamins can be given as an appetite stimulant. Vitamins are the most simple and easy to usual vitamin B complex. This vitamin can be given in the form of tablets or syrup.
Other supplements that can be given is the amino acid lysine (Lysine). In addition to stimulating appetite, lysine also can interfere with replication / development of disease-causing herpes virus Feline Rhinotracheitis (cat flu).
Look for supplements and vitamins are in the nearest pharmacy. Usually lysine and B complex are widely available as a supplement for children, such as BiolysinÃ, Â ® Syrup, Lysmin Ã, Â ® (containing lysine & B complex), BecombionÃ, Â ® syrup (B complex). Get used to provide vitamins simultaneously or a few minutes after eating.Especially in cats who do not eat all day, which is not preceded supplementation feeding can irritate the stomach and cause vomiting. Consult manner and dosage of these supplements with your veterinarian your subscription.
The supplementation of lysine and B as the new complex will have an effect increased appetite a few days after being given continuously every day. If you want a more influential fast (instant), contact your veterinarian and ask for your subscription appetite stimulant drugs (appetite stimulants) such as diazepam (valium dosage of 0.05-0.2 mg / kg IV qod or sid-0.5 - 1 mg PO sid *).
Diazepam is the hard drugs that can affect the hunger center in the brain. Drug reaction is quite fast about 10-15 minutes after being given orally. Therefore, immediately prepare a meal near the cat for eating so he can immediately react to the drug. Because of the effects of addictive (addictive), diazepam should be given no more than 2 times in a row.
Tube feeding Tube feeding is feeding directly into the stomach through a tube. Usually performed by a veterinarian on a sick animal who can not chew and swallow food whatsoever.Tube feeding is also often performed on children who are not breastfed mother cat and can not suck milk from the teats.
