The kitten died after being weaned, and the cat’s mother was full of sadness. Three reasons caused the kitten to get sick!
Has the cat shoveler at home experienced such a thing? That is, the kitten that the female cat in the family worked hard to raise but died strangely after being weaned?
The controller encountered such a problem two days ago. Someone reported to the controller that the kitten suddenly died. So after searching for a lot of information and communicating with some friends, we confirmed some situations.
The little cat died after being weaned for many reasons, but it must be sick!
My friend originally had a cat sister at home. She had just reached the age of pregnancy, so my friend contacted many places and finally found a handsome husband for the cat sister to match it!
A few months later, the cat sister gave birth to a litter of kittens. Looking at these cute kittens, the cat owner was really happy!
After all, these little guys can really bring people a lot of happiness, especially spiritual satisfaction, which is irreplaceable to other things!
But when we reach the age of weaning, the kittens die one after another, which is a great harm to the cat mother and the shoveler!
But this is a domestic cat, why is this happening?
In fact, there are probably three reasons for the kitten's death. You can take a look!
1. Kittens in the late weaning stage (5 to 12 weeks old) are prone to death due to bacterial infections
Most of the deaths during this period are caused by primary infections in the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract and membrane cavity. Kittens are usually able to recover on their own when they come into contact with bacteria without any urgent situations, but when the environment or the kitten itself has adverse factors, some disease-related infections will become more serious, which will increase the premature death rate of kittens.
Because when bacterial infection exceeds the extent that the kitten's immune system can resist, neonatal sepsis will form, and the factors that affect include inappropriate nutrition and temperature control, viral infection, parasites and genetic or developmental defects in the immune system.
So this is also the time when the cats are most ill!
2. Kittens in the late weaning stage (5 to 12 weeks old) are prone to death due to virus infection
For kittens who have just been weaned, after losing the antibodies provided by their mothers continuously feeding milk, the period after weaning is the time when the kitten begins to gradually form their own immunity.
At this time, many viruses will gradually adapt to, but coronavirus, parvovirus, herpes virus, Carisi virus, and reverse chlorophyllium virus (infectious peritonitis, cat plague, cat bronchitis, cat influenza, and cat leukemia) will cause premature death of newborn cats.
Because of these malignant diseases, even cats with fair constitutions cannot resist, let alone little cats that are still building an immune system!
In addition, too many parasites can also cause the kitten to lose its immunity, physical fitness, and induce other diseases and eventually lead to the kitten’s death!
The key is that even if you give the cat an injection or medicine, it is difficult to treat the kitten, because the newly weaned kitten is as fragile as a small porcelain bottle, and it can be broken when touched, and the shoveler also has a white hair!
3. The inevitable loss of kittens in pet cat breeding!
When raising kittens, especially pet cats, it is inevitable that the kitten will lose. As long as the kitten loses, it will be fine within the acceptable range. I am afraid that the kitten will get sick with a litter of kittens whenever they get sick!
So before giving birth to a kitten, you still need to undergo scientific inspections to confirm that the cat is indeed able to give birth healthily, and you need to pay extra attention!
Therefore, it is a rare thing to have a litter of kittens that grow up healthy without losing their lives!
The departure of the kitten is the big cat's unstoppable? Especially for the female cat who just became a cat mother, she is not very experienced in all aspects, so it is more likely to have problems. So what should the shoveler do?
First, the shoveler must ensure the suitability of the environment in which the kitten is located, which is clean, tidy, and not suitable for large-scale reproduction of bacteria. These are all necessary conditions for the cat's room!
Secondly, kittens should not be weaned too early. The mother's breasts also contain a lot of antibodies that can help the kittens establish an immune system as soon as possible, so that the cat will not get sick during the weaning period!
The most important point is that before giving birth, the cat must have scientific examinations to ensure that the mother of the cat itself is not carrying parasite infection, cat plague, cat ventricular transmission or other genetic diseases. This is the most important point for the cat to grow up healthy after giving birth!
The death of a kitten is a kind of harm to the cat owner and the cat mother. Therefore, the cat owner must be careful when the cat is weaned and protect the kitten carefully!
After all, after an accident, isn’t it the one who feels most distressed about yourself?
