1. Stomach ulcer can be characterized by changes in behavior of a pet. As a rule, in an onset of the illness the cat can become apathetic, "lazy" by sight. If such behavior is not characteristic of an animal, it is worth bringing at once it to the veterinarian for testing. The earlier stomach ulcer will be found, the it is rather possible to be to begin treatment. Medicines are appointed depending on weight of injuries of a stomach and a stage of a disease.
2. The most important that demands intervention at stomach ulcer from cats – the mode and content of feeding. It is impossible to give to a cat food at all "from a table", especially hot or absolutely cold (from the fridge). Ideal temperature for a cat's forage – room. In a diet there should be no spices, salt, pepper, smoked products. Cats very much love it, but, unfortunately, the use of such products leads to diseases of a stomach and pancreas.
3. During ulcer attacks it is better to feed a cat with warmish porridges (it is ideal razvarenny rice and oat porridges) and broths, kissels and other food with the pronounced enveloping effect. Some producers of expensive forages have specialized dietary forages (exist in a dry and tinned look). Dry feeds need to be filled in with water or milk and to hold before formation of gruel. It is worth feeding a cat during stomach ulcer attacks 4-5 times a day, the small portions including only dietary food.
4. Veterinarians appoint the animal suffering from stomach ulcer, soothing, the enveloping and calming medicines which need to be entered hypodermically or to add to food. Anyway, only the qualified specialist and only after survey of each specific animal can appoint concrete medicine.
5. In cases of sharp aggravation (ulcer perforation), contents of a stomach can be poured in an abdominal cavity of a cat that is very hazardous to health also of animal life. In such cases the immediate address to the veterinarian who can perform operation is recommended and stop development of peritonitis and septic shock. Often such aggravations happen at the progressing ulcer.
6. Prevention of stomach ulcer and gastritis reduces risk of developing of these diseases by 70%. The most important elements of prevention is the healthy nutrition of a cat. The animal needs to be fed with the good checked sterns, to protect it from human food with big amount of spices and salt.
