How to treat cat abdominal distension on your own

First, let me make this clear: Feline transmissible diarrhea (contagious diarrhea) is a serious disease that requires diagnosis and treatment by a professional veterinarian. Self-treatment may not resolve the problem or may even delay the condition.

However, here are some general steps you can take to temporarily relieve symptoms while you wait for a veterinary consultation or visit:

1. Isolate sick cats: Isolate cats with infectious diarrhea to prevent the disease from spreading to other cats.

2. Provide clean drinking water: Make sure the cat has enough clean drinking water to prevent dehydration.

3. Adjust the diet: If the cat’s appetite is normal, you can try to give the cat food that is easy to digest and has high nutritional value, such as soaked dry food or special wet food. Avoid giving human food as some foods may be unsafe for cats.

4. Keep the environment clean: Regularly clean your cat’s living environment, including the litter box and surrounding areas, to avoid the spread of bacteria or viruses.

It is important to consult a veterinarian promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment options. Your veterinarian may recommend further testing, specific medications, or other supportive measures to help your cat recover.
