Not necessarily. If a cat is diagnosed with ascites, it may not be caused by the cat's abdomen. Don't panic too much. Many cat shovelers are very afraid of cats passing through their belly because everyone knows that cats can basically not survive if they have cats passing through their belly. But in fact, the incidence of abdomen transmission in cats is not very high, but the probability of ascites is very high. If a cat has ascites, it does not necessarily mean that it transmits the abdomen. Further examination is very important. So, besides cats’ abdomen transmission, what other reasons can cause cats’ ascites?
First: Parasites
If the cat does not deworm in time, ascites are also common. For example, common coccidiosis or tapeworms may induce ascites in cats. Kittens of young age are very likely to be infected with parasites if they do not deworm in time. When parasites are particularly common in the body, ascites are very common, especially in kittens, which are more common. Therefore, we must regularly deworm cats internally and externally to prevent cats from being infected with parasites, so as to avoid a series of problems caused by parasites.
Second: Cancer
A two-year-old Garfield from a friend of mine was from the beginning because his belly was a bit inexplicably big, so he went to the hospital to check if he had ascites. The test result is indeed ascites, but the more serious problem is the tumor! The tumor just pressed the pancreas, causing the kitten to be unable to eat at all, and eventually became a skeleton. Cats are also particularly prone to ascites when they have cancer. If you find that the cat's abdomen suddenly swollen for some reason (please distinguish it from obesity), you can go to the hospital to check it out to see if there is ascites or other problems.
Third: Malnutrition
Yes, malnutrition can also lead to ascites in cats. As we all know, cats are carnivorous animals and need to consume a lot of protein every day. If a cat eats inferior cat food for a long time or fails to meet the nutritional standards, it is easy to develop low-protein ascites. This is caused by the drop in osmotic pressure, which causes a large amount of water to enter the abdominal cavity. It can be improved and treated, which is different from the abdomen transmission pathology.
Summary: Infectious peritonitis - This is a viral infection. Without a certain treatment plan, basically all sick cats will die. Although there are currently some suggestions that can cure the abdominal transmission plan, the treatment price is about 100,000 yuan, and it does not ensure that the cat can come back for a long time. Most people probably cannot afford this cost.
