Although cats don’t eat much, they are usually very greedy and will immediately rush over when they smell the food. However, some cat owners found that even if they feed their cats normally, they were still getting thinner and thinner, which was very strange. So what's wrong with cats getting thinner? What should I do if my cat is getting thinner? Next, let’s take a look at the reason why cats are getting thinner.
1. Infected with parasites
If a cat usually eats a good diet, eats a lot, but is still getting thinner, the owner should consider that the cat is infected with in vivo parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms. Because parasites will seize the cat's nutrients, no matter how much the cat eats, it is useless. In addition to getting thinner, cats will also experience diarrhea, diarrhea, etc. In this regard, the owner can pay attention to whether there are insects in the cat's vomit and feces. If there is any, the cat needs to be dewormed as soon as possible. It is generally recommended to deworm internally every three months and externally every month.
2. Malnutrition
If a cat has a simple diet, or gives a cat a long time to eat inferior cat food, it will lead to malnutrition in the cat, which will make the body thinner and thinner. At this time, you need to prepare nutritious and comprehensive foods for the cat, and at the same time use some nutrients, such as vitamin tablets, calcium tablets, nutritional creams, etc. to supplement the cat's nutrition. Also note that when choosing cat food for cats, try to choose a nutritious and easy to digest and absorb cat food, and refuse to use low-quality cat food to feed cats.
3. Suffering from chronic diseases
If a cat suffers from chronic diseases, it can also cause weight loss. For example, suffering from cats' abdomen transmission, leukemia, uremia, tumors, etc. will cause the cat to become thinner and thinner. It is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
4. There is a problem with teeth
If the cat is getting more and more tired, it may also be that the cat has a problem with its teeth. For example, cats suffer from plaque and tartars. Without treatment for a long time, it will affect the cat's feeding and absorption, making the cat become thinner and thinner. Therefore, the owner must clean the cat's teeth regularly. If there is any problem with the cat's teeth, he or she needs to seek medical treatment in time.
