When you first teach kittens to use cat litter to go to the toilet, there are many things to pay attention to, such as being careful not to eat cat litter by mistake. So what are the symptoms if a kitten accidentally eats cat litter? What should I do if a kitten accidentally eats cat litter? Let’s take a look at the dangers of kittens eating cat litter by mistake.
1. Vomiting
Currently, the main cat litters on the market include pine cat litter, bentonite cat litter, tofu cat litter, etc. Generally speaking, these cat litters will cause fermentation after being eaten, resulting in excessive gas in the stomach, which will cause cat vomiting.
2. Constipation
Because bentonite cat litter is made of soil and will not dissolve in water, if a kitten accidentally eats more bentonite cat litter, it may also cause constipation. In severe cases, it may also cause intestinal obstruction in the cat, causing unbearable abdominal pain in the cat.
3. Bloody stool
Because the particles of crystal cat litter have edges, if the kitten accidentally eats crystal cat litter, it may scratch the intestines, causing bloody stools.
4. Diarrhea
Because the used cat litter will have a large amount of bacteria, kittens are easily infected and developed into enteritis after accidentally ingesting, and then symptoms of diarrhea will occur.
