Cat hair removal paste: choice and secrets of use

Cats and cats are so clean that they lick their hair several times a day, some of which enters their digestive tract. There comes a moment when the owner of the animal notices something is wrong - the pet often began to vomit. This picture is unpleasant: for the pet - health problems, and for the person - unpleasant cleaning, going to the veterinarian, and in the most severe cases fraught with the loss of the pet.

In domestic cats, the undercoat constantly drops out, since they do not feel the change of seasons. And therefore they lick out due to their natural cleanliness. Part of the undercoat remains on the furniture, floor and other things, which are then removed from the premises during cleaning. The rest of the hair - about 30% of the licked amount - gets inside, into the animal’s stomach, as in cats the papillae on the tongue are directed backwards.

Part of this wool that has entered the body passes through the intestines in transit and goes out naturally with feces. Some part of the animals burps, and the remaining hair is formed by lumps in the stomach and fills its volume. These lumps resemble felted wool.

Often you can observe this picture: the animal eats little by little, often runs to the bowl. Cats have a false sense of satiety. This is due to the fact that in the walls of the stomach there are also receptors that respond to the degree of fullness of the stomach. These receptors send an impulse to the hypothalamus, that is, to the food center, which is responsible for the feeling of fullness.

The resulting pilobesoars enter the intestine, causing obstruction.As a result, various enteritis (inflammatory processes) occur in the gastrointestinal tract and colitis in the intestine.

For cats, malt paste is used to remove pilobesoars from their stomach. Many people mistakenly believe that the paste is used to dissolve wool and wool seals. The composition often includes fats, dairy products, oils, malt. Fats envelop the hairs, and insoluble fiber softens the lumps and all this contributes to an easy, painless removal from the body. Also, the paste prevents constipation, sometimes vomiting, and prevents inflammation.

As a preventative measure, this paste can be given to kittens from 12 weeks of age and adults. Reception - daily at 6 cm, which is equal to 3 g of the required dosage. Better immediately from the tube, applying to the nose, but can be mixed into the feed if the animal is capricious and does not want to lick the paste from the nose. If necessary, the dosage can be doubled. Store and apply at room temperature.
