Have you picked up a stray? Is your cat eating poorly? Or does the cat need to be nursed back up after an operation?

​

Causes of being underweight

It is usually not surprising that a stray is underweight , and weight loss is not unusual even after an injury or operation, as the body puts a lot of energy into healing. However, when a domestic cat loses weight, one wonders why this could be the case. Various diseases lead to unwanted weight loss, for example diabetes mellitus . But stress, parasite infestation And dental problems can also be the cause. Watch your cat closely and take him to the vet as soon as possible so that you can help him quickly.

Raising a cat

You can feed an underweight cat that needs to be nursed after an injury or surgery, for example, more often. For this purpose, it makes sense if the food is easy to digest and yet as high in calories as possible.

Dry food can always be available for underweight cats, but this is more difficult for cats to digest than wet food and should not be left around for too long. Wet food is easier to digest and you can offer this in small portions several times a day .

If the cat has no appetite , it can help to slightly warm up the food to make it more palatable. Healthy additions to the food such as a little oil, cottage cheese or brewer's yeast (not for cats with kidney disease!) are also a way to make the cat's food is more tempting and high in calories, without it having to consume much more volume. However, this should always be discussed with the veterinarian who knows the cat and you should only work with small amounts so as not to risk digestive problems.
