How to eat cat probiotics? Pay attention to these points to avoid affecting the effectiveness of use
Probiotics can be said to be a must-have for raising cats. Indigestion and diarrhea can come in handy, especially for some kittens with poor stomachs. So what are the effects of probiotics? How to feed it?
1. Regulating the intestinal bacteria
probiotics can maintain the balance of intestinal bacteria, thereby improving the gastrointestinal problems of cats and helping cats maintain intestinal health. However, not all gastrointestinal problems have any effect on using probiotics. It is just an auxiliary effect, not a magical medicine.
2. Help digestion
probiotics contain various digestive enzymes, which can supplement cats with nutrition, promote cats' absorption of nutrients such as protein, calcium, vitamins, and promote gastrointestinal digestion. When cats have indigestion or diarrhea problems, some probiotics can be added appropriately to help improve symptoms.
3. Increase appetite
Many shovelers will feed cats some probiotics when they don't like to eat, which can increase appetite, because the nucleotides in probiotics can speed up cell growth and repair, and the inosine and guanylate in nucleotides can also increase cats' appetite.
How should cat probiotics be eaten?1. For bagged probiotics, you need to brew them with warm water, about 35-40 degrees. Too hot or too cool will cause the probiotics to be directly inactivated or unable to stimulate activity and reduce their effects. You should eat them as soon as possible after opening the bag, otherwise the effect of live bacteria will also be reduced after two hours.
2. It can be mixed in food. If it is a small cat, it can be mixed in goat's milk. If it is a bigger cat, it can be mixed in cat food, which will be effective. You can also feed it in cans, and you can mix an appropriate amount of probiotics in water. After it melts, you can give it to the cat to drink, which can be absorbed well by the cat's stomach and intestines. Although
Probiotics are very beneficial to cats, there are still many aspects that need to be paid attention to when using them to avoid affecting the effectiveness of use.
Precautions for feeding cats to probiotics1. Do not use probiotics when feeding anti-inflammatory drugs to cats. They cannot be taken at the same time, and should be at least four hours apart. Because probiotics are vitamins, taking them together with anti-inflammatory drugs will lose their effect.
2. Probiotics can be eaten alone or fed with food, but the best feeding time is to work better after eating or after eating.
3. Master the dosage well and do not change it at will. Generally, one bag is once a day. If the cat does not have gastrointestinal discomfort, just feed half a bag. Weight needs to be considered. Cats under 15 pounds need to be considered once a day, half a bag each time; cats above need to be considered once a day, one bag each time. The specific dosage can be increased or decreased as appropriate under the guidance of a doctor.
4. If a cat has diarrhea, do not blindly feed probiotics. Probiotics can only help digestion and have no effect on enteritis. Instead, it may cause the condition to worsen. It is recommended to prescribe the right medicine and seek medical treatment if necessary.
