What should I do if a newborn kitten can’t pull it?
Newborn kittens are cute, but because their physiological structure is not perfect, they may face diarrhea, constipation and other problems, which may cause concerns to their owners. If your kitten has not defecated for more than 24 hours, or if it has tried to defecate but cannot defecate, the kitten may suffer from constipation. In this case, the owner should consider taking some measures to help the kitten defecate.
The first step is to ensure the temperature and comfort of the kitten.
In the first few weeks of a kitten's birth, you need to check whether its body temperature is within the normal range frequently, while creating a warm, dry, and comfortable environment for the kitten to live.
The second step is to provide the kitten with enough liquid.
It is very important to give the kitten enough breast milk because it can provide enough nutrients and liquids to help the kitten defecate smoothly. If your kitten is not drinking enough breast milk, you can contact a veterinarian for help and buy milk suitable for kittens instead of breastfeeding.
The third step is to ensure that the kitten has enough cellulose.
Kittens may not have enough food to provide enough cellulose, which is one of the causes of constipation in kittens. Therefore, you can feed the kitten some easy-to-digest fiber-friendly foods, such as some small fish, green vegetables and various fruits.
The fourth step is to provide sufficient exercise.
The kittens have relatively little exercise and often stay in the surrounding environment, which will cause their intestinal function to weaken. Therefore, the owner needs to provide the kitten with a space to exercise so that the kitten's intestines can be stimulated enough. If the kitten still cannot defecate, you can take some medical treatments. You can use lubricants to help soften and move kitten's excrement.
In addition, there are some professional medical equipment and technologies that can better help kittens defecate smoothly.
In short, constipation in kittens can be a common problem, but if the owner takes the above method, he can help the kittens solve it himself. However, if your kitten's condition is beyond your processing capacity, you need to contact a veterinarian in a timely manner for professional help. With reasonable feeding and medical management, your kitten will recover quickly.
