The Kirin cat "Elvis" Dundu can be said to be a "celebrity cat" that many people like. With nearly 3 million fans, it suddenly vomited frequently on June 22 and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. It was suddenly stressed during subsequent treatment, and finally returned to the cat star. Some friends are curious about the difference between pancreatitis in cats and gastroenteritis, and want to know the treatment methods for pancreatitis in cats. Today, the editor will take you to learn about it!
First of all, the main differences between pancreatitis and gastroenteritis in cats are as follows: First, usually cats suffer from gastroenteritis and symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, but their spirit and appetite are OK. Most cats with pancreatitis do not show symptoms of vomiting, usually only show symptoms of depression and loss of appetite. Some will have unique fat diarrhea and excretion of yellow and oily feces. Second, gastroenteritis in cats has little impact on the systemic body, while pancreatitis has a great impact on the systemic body, and can lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multi-organ failure.
Secondly, cats need to go to the pet hospital for infusion treatment when suffering from pancreatitis. After cats suffer from pancreatitis, they will have symptoms such as vomiting, dehydration, and abdomen compression. Obese cats are prone to more frequent this disease. If you find that the cat vomits continuously, the owner should fast and water in time and go to the pet hospital for infusion. Because the cat is dehydrated and vomits violently, it can only supplement nutrients and water through infusion, and at the same time, the cat needs to relieve pain and anti-inflammatory. Severe pancreatitis may require blood transfusion or plasma. It is recommended that the owner feed the cat low-fat food, and it is best to use cat food as the staple food.
I hope that the shovelers can keep in mind the above knowledge and take good care of their cat owners.
