Treatment Solutions of Cats
It is always good to know a few treatments that you can give your cat when they have minor health problems. Often this is sufficient to help them recover but never leave anything for more than a couple of days before consulting your veterinarian as problems can soon compound if left unattended.
Constipation
If your cat becomes constipated, and this can be quite painful for a cat, then you might need to add a little bit of olive oil to its food or give it a little bit more milk. It is obviously lacking moisture in its diet or there could be a problem with fur blocking its digestive system and bowels.
In an emergency you can smear a little bit of oil around its anus and using a soft ended plastic syringe squirt a small amount of oil inside to assist the cat in eliminating the blockage. While this is not the most pleasant job in the world it can certainly help with your cat's constipation and then you can concentrate on regulating its diet and nutrition to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Diarrhea
If on the other hand your cat has diarrhea then you need to consider the types of food that it has been eating and particularly liver or heart meats. Cow milk can also cause your cat to get diarrhea so it is best to use milk that is specifically formulated for cats.
Coughing
If your cat has been coughing for several hours consult your veterinarian immediately as it could be a cold or something more serious.
Accident
If the cat has been in an accident lay it on its side making sure to keep it covered and warm and contact your veterinarian immediately letting them know that you will be there as soon as possible. Keep the cats head slightly down to make sure that there is sufficient blood supply to its brain.
