If you change cat food, environment, frightened or dewormed, vaccinated, etc., you will cause cats to have stress reactions. Some cats have big performance, while others have small performance. The reactions manifested are mainly caused by vomiting, diarrhea, and soft stools, that is, thin stools. Parents should not use medicine for their cats first, and use probiotics to condition them first, observe for a while to see if the problem has been relieved, and then decide whether to treat the cats if they need medication. So what does cat stress reaction look like? What should we do if it appears?

Three-month-old cats usually need to pay attention to dietary rules when eating dry cat food. They feed each morning, evening, or one meal in the morning, noon and evening. Some pet owners love cats and are afraid of being hungry, so they supply cat food without restrictions. As a result, the cat eats too much and has indigestion and has diarrhea. For this type of cat, you need to fast for half a day or a day, adjust your diet, feed it regularly and at regular intervals, and then you can also use probiotics to condition it.

Furthermore, the weather suddenly becomes cold, or because the weather is hot now, the cats are kept in the air-conditioned room for a long time. If you don’t pay attention to keeping the cat warm, then the cats will inevitably catch a cold. Of course, this situation is also quite common. This needs to be observed to see if the cat has symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and coughing in addition to loose stools.

If the cat is just a common gastrointestinal discomfort or symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting caused by stress reactions, parents can first treat probiotics for a period of time. If the situation is still the same for a period of time and does not improve, parents need to take the cat to the pet hospital for treatment.
