FELINE INTESTINAL HEALTHCARE FROM YOUR HENDERSON CAT VETERINARIAN

Digestive disorders are common in cats, and most clear up within a few days. However, some cats require additional care to successfully treat and resolve the underlying intestinal disturbance. Without prompt care, cats are at risk for dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition. At A Cat Hospital, our Henderson cat veterinarian focuses on feline-only care. We are fully experienced in the treatment and diagnosis of feline intestinal disorders, including acute gastroenteritis (inflamed digestive tract), colitis, diarrhea, constipation, pancreatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and small intestinal malabsorption.

Cat Intestinal Health Symptoms And Dangers
The following are all symptoms of a feline gastrointestinal (GI) health problem:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Regurgitation
• Flatulence
• Weakness

Chronic GI diseases can be debilitating and frustrating for cats. While it is not unusual for cats to occasionally throw up, frequent vomiting or diarrhea accompanied by weight loss, anorexia, or lethargy are signs that your cat needs specialized care.

Keep in mind that if your cat has diarrhea or vomiting for more than 24 hours, your cat is at risk for severe dehydration. Contact our Henderson cat veterinarian as soon as possible for care recommendations.

What Causes Cat Intestinal Health Problems?
A number of different issues could be causing your cat’s intestinal health problems, including:

• Parasites
• Viruses
• Bacteria
• Inflammatory Problems
• Autoimmune Issues
• Dietary Intolerance/Allergy

Diagnosis & Treatment Intestinal Issues At A Cat Hospital
During your appointment, our cat veterinarian will discuss your cat’s symptoms, behavior, and diet. In some cases, we may recommend feeding your cat a specialized diet to relieve a sensitive stomach and support proper intestine function. Our veterinarian will also give you instructions for monitoring your cat’s hydration levels during the recovery phase to ensure your cat has sufficient water.

Based on your cat’s symptoms, our veterinarian may recommend diagnostic blood work, x-rays, viral testing, urinalysis, food allergy testing, or an ultrasound. These diagnostic tests provide vital information about your cat’s intestinal health.
