|
Cat constipation is not an uncommon problem. Although this problem is generally observed in older cats it can also occur in cats of any age. Most cats have two to three bowel movements a day. If you notice any change in this pattern or if the cat has not had any bowel movement for over two to three days this could indicated that the cat is constipated. If this is not treated in time it can cause serious problems. Sometimes constipation in cats can also be a symptom of a more serious disease. Some of the cat constipation symptoms are Loss of appetite, frequent trips to the litter box and lethargy. The main causes could be dehydration, a poor diet, poor hygiene and other factors such as lack of exercise, stress and other illnesses. If you’ve tried the above steps and the constipation still persists you may want to consult the vet as this might indicate a more serious problem. |
