Caring for a pregnant cat
A pregnant cat is almost no need for special care. Moderate physical activity is helpful to maintain muscle tone. However, you should restrict your cat from jumping to higher things. On the last weeks of pregnancy as a result of the center of gravity, it becomes somewhat clumsy and may fail to jump off or even decline.
ÂDuring pregnancy, the cat must be fully fed. The meat, dairy products, or dry foods super premium.
ÂIn the first three to four weeks of pregnancy diet cat can practically do not change. But do not be amiss to change the diet to feed a higher amount of protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals. Online there are available commercial feed is ideally suited for this purpose, such as feed companies «Eukanuba». Number of feed corresponds to the usual rate, but may be somewhat increased for weak individuals.
ÂOn the fourth week of pregnancy, your cat should be fed food with high protein content.
ÂSince mid-pregnancy, number of feedings recommended an increase to 4 or 5 times a day. Toward the end of pregnancy, the need in the quantity of food could rise threefold. But the increase in the number of meals should be accompanied by a decrease in servings. Necessary to protect the animal from the appearance of being overweight. Obese cat, as a rule, bears large cats that can cause severe birth. 1-2 weeks before birth in cats may be a reduction in appetite. At this time, the abdomen is filled with kittens, and the body needs high-calorie foods, low volume which will contain all the nutrients you need.
ÂIf you feed the cat natural food, then half of her daily diet - is the meat (beef, veal, pork less frequently, in boiled form, since in its raw form can be a source of worms). In addition, the diet of pregnant cats include: lean boiled fish, boiled hard boiled eggs (not more than 2 per week), cereals (rice, buckwheat, oats), dairy products (cottage cheese), vegetables and fruits. Constipation, a lump sum can be included in the menu vegetable oils, such as canned fish (in oil) or vegetable purees (mainly from sugar beet).
ÂWhen feeding the cats natural pet food should be added to specific mineral and vitamin supplements.
ÂFully balanced natural diet you are unlikely to succeed, so we recommend feeding your pitomitsu quality commercial food «Eukanuba». In the high-quality ready-made feed already contains vitamin and mineral supplements, and there is no need to add them to the diet, in addition, they may even cause the animal harm. However, there are exceptional cases, for example, when the cat is exhausted by the disease. In such situations, before turning to the diet cat vitamin and mineral supplements should consult with your veterinarian.
ÂThe use of drugs for the treatment of cats during pregnancy.
Âbefore the planned mating is desirable to show the cat the veterinarian to determine its physical condition, early detection and prevention of disorders that hinder the normal course of pregnancy or childbirth.
ÂIn the presence of intestinal parasites doctor will be assigned the appropriate treatment. For surgical intervention in pregnant cats is resorted to only for health reasons, as drugs used for anesthesia, can cause death or abortion of kittens. Vaccinations and most medicines and anthelminthic drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy as a means of fleas, some hormones and antibiotics. Therefore, without first consulting your veterinarian give your cat any medications or use the funds for external use should not be.
