Rostov region, February 18, 2021. DON 24 TV channel. Cat poisoning is a common reason for visiting a veterinarian. Conor is a cat by birth, McGregor by nature, has become a victim of poor-quality food. A change in the behavior of an active pet was noticed by its owner Alla: the previously restless cat became lethargic, he developed an allergy. Alla Orlyak, the owner of the cat Conor: “He shed a lot, almost became bald. He was very thin. Of course, we ran to the veterinarian immediately, and they told us: "We need to change the feed." The doctor told us that an allergy is the least that can happen to him. That is, there were consequences even of a lethal outcome, when we fed this food for a long time, so we came running in time”. Any suspicion of poisoning with poor quality pet food should be shown to a veterinarian. Ekaterina Semyonova, a therapist at "Animal Clinic": "At the first sign, it is a refusal to eat for more than a day, frequent vomiting, and again diarrhea - it is better to take to the doctor right away, not to self-medicate. It is necessary to make the correct diagnosis and determine what it is specifically. " Some owners prefer to prepare their own food for their pets. According to veterinarians, homemade food is not the best option for a pet. Anastasia Sazonova, veterinarian of the Rostov city station for combating animal diseases: “It is better to feed, of course, with fodder for what reason? Because feeding homemade food is not a fully balanced diet, this is the first thing. Secondly, if we are talking about cats, they have a buffet meal, as a result of which we cannot leave homemade food in the cup for the whole day, because it will become aired. " There are several grades of feed quality: low, premium and super premium. Good food should be supplemented with micro and macro elements. In low quality feed, the energy value is low. To get enough, animals need to eat portions in large quantities, which can provoke not only poisoning, but also excess weight. Anastasia Sazonova, veterinarian of the Rostov city station for the fight against animal diseases: “Certain preservatives can cause poisoning in animals, such as E 310, which cause allergic reactions in animals, up to asthma. Also, feed should not contain GMOs, ideally, you need to look to make sure there is such a seal. " When buying feed, you should carefully study the composition and production date. The presence of a large number of incomprehensible components in the composition indicates a lack of high quality, which, in turn, can lead to poisoning of the animal.
