Paste for removing hair from cats: selection and secrets of use

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

Domestic cats constantly lose their undercoat, as they do not feel the change of seasons. And therefore they lick themselves due to their natural cleanliness. Part of the undercoat remains on furniture, floors and other things, which are then removed from the premises during cleaning. The rest of the wool - about 30% of the licked amount - gets inside, into the stomach of the animal, since in cats the papillae on the tongue are directed backward.

Part of this wool that has entered the body passes through the intestines in transit and comes out naturally along with feces. Animals regurgitate some part, and the remaining wool is formed in lumps in the stomach and fills its volume. These lumps resemble wool matted in felt.

You can often observe the following picture: the animal eats a little, often runs to the bowl. Cats have a false sense of satiety. This is due to the fact that there are also receptors in the walls of the stomach that react 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 pylobezoars enter the intestine, causing obstruction.As a result, various kinds of enteritis (inflammatory processes) occur in the gastrointestinal tract and colitis in the intestine.

For cats, use malt paste to remove pylobezoars 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 hair, 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 preventive measure, this paste can be given to kittens from 12 weeks of age and adults. Reception - 6 cm daily, which is equal to 3 g of the required dosage. Better immediately from a tube, applying to the nose, or you can mix it into the feed if the animal is naughty and does not want to lick the paste off the nose. If necessary, the dosage can be doubled. Store and use at room temperature.
