1- Glomus gastritis
Etiology: The cat licked the fallen coat in the stomach when combing its own coat, and the coat accumulated in the gastrointestinal tract to form a hairball. For some reasons, the hairball can not be discharged in time, and it is repeatedly stimulated in the stomach, forming foreign body gastritis or obstruction. This disease is more common in long-haired cats than in short-haired cats.
Symptoms: Cats with hairballs in their bellies show retching. Some want to eat, but they leave after a few bites. In severe cases, they don't eat, and gradually lose weight, and their stomachs are sensitive to palpation. Cats have retching or spit out hairballs and mucus, and cats may have hairballs.
Treatment:
① Vomiting, apomorphine 0.08 mg/kg body weight, intramuscular injection.
② Oral paraffin oil 5- 10 ml.
③ In severe cases, gastrostomy is needed to remove the hairball.
(4) Feed containing more crude fiber, and let cats often eat some grass plants or take 3-5 ml of vegetable oil orally, which has a certain preventive effect on this disease.
Generally, the hair ball is a soft ball formed by mucus and hair ball, which usually stays in the oropharynx or digestive tract. If the hairball problem is serious, it means that the cat may have inflammation, lymphoma, gastritis or other diseases.
The most important reason for the formation of hair balls is that cats lick a lot of hair when grooming themselves, which may accumulate in the throat and cause dry cough or swallow it into the stomach to cause intestinal obstruction.
