A kitten with only one pound in two months is only one pound. What should I do?
Many cat owners think that cats are "beauty as beauty" and think that keeping cats fat is something worth showing off. However, overweight for a long time has many adverse effects on cats' health. But what should I do if the kitten is only more than one pound in two months?
1. Malnutrition
If the owner only feeds the kitten a single food for a long time and does not eat other things or auxiliary products, it is easy to keep up with the nutrition and become unbalanced, resulting in malnutrition. In this regard, the owner needs to strengthen nutritional supplements and can feed kittens free milk cakes and cat food. Compared with other cat foods, this cat food is more nutritious and easier to absorb and digest. At the same time, it can be fed with goat milk powder, nutritional paste and other foods, but it is necessary to feed less and more meals to avoid indigestion in the kitten.
2. Parasite infection
If the kitten has sufficient nutritional supplements and eats a lot, but does not gain weight, then it is necessary to consider that it is caused by parasite infection. Because parasites can plunder cats' nutrition, no matter how much they eat, they will not gain weight. In this case, it is recommended to take the kitten to the pet hospital for relevant examinations in time to see if it is caused by parasitic infection. If so, the kitten needs to be dewormed in time.
When deworming kittens, the owner should pay attention to the following points: First, since the two-month-old kittens weigh less, the dosage of the deworming medicine must be controlled according to the kittens' weight, otherwise it may lead to poisoning of the kittens. Secondly, if the kitten lives with the female cat, after dropping the deworming medicine on the kitten, try to avoid the female cat licking the kitten to avoid the female cat being poisoned.
