Christmas is a time filled with joy, family gatherings, and, of course, delicious food! However, amid all the celebration, our furry friends can also suffer from some inconveniences, such as diarrhea , a fairly common problem during this time.
Diarrhea in dogs and cats can be due to a variety of reasons: from a Christmas lapse, such as eating something they shouldn't (turkey, chocolate, leftovers, etc.), to a symptom of something more serious, such as a food intolerance, infection, or underlying illness. Therefore, it's essential to act quickly to prevent the problem from worsening.
In this article, we give you some tips for managing your pet's diarrhea during the holidays and explain how Petbiotics Fortebiotics can be an effective and safe solution for these cases.
Common causes of diarrhea at Christmas
During the holidays, our pets' habits can change, and with them, their intestinal health. Some of the most common causes of diarrhea in dogs and cats during this time include:
- Eating inappropriate foods: A piece of nougat, a piece of spiced turkey, or even food scraps that have fallen on the floor can be enough to cause diarrhea in your pet.
- Holiday Stress: The hustle and bustle of family gatherings, fireworks, and changes in routine can cause stress in your furry friend, affecting his digestive system.
- Dietary Changes: Often, at Christmas, new treats or treats are introduced to celebrate with our pets, which can cause intolerances or intestinal discomfort.
- More serious health problems: Although diarrhea may seem like a minor problem, in some cases it can be a symptom of diseases such as parasites, infections, food intolerances, or even chronic intestinal inflammation.
What to do if your pet has diarrhea?
If your dog or cat has diarrhea, these steps can help you manage the situation immediately:
- Withdraw food for a few hours: Allow your pet's digestive system to rest. However, make sure they have access to fresh water at all times to prevent dehydration.
- Reintroduce a soft diet: After a few hours, offer soft foods such as cooked rice and boiled chicken to help stabilize your child's digestive system.
- Monitor symptoms: See if the diarrhea improves within 24-48 hours. If it persists or if you notice other symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the stool, see your veterinarian.
- Use Fortebiotics by Petbiotics: To treat diarrhea quickly and safely, Fortebiotics is an ideal solution. This postbiotic product not only helps restore intestinal balance but also strengthens the digestive system and effectively relieves symptoms.
Why choose Fortebiotics for your pet's diarrhea?
Petbiotics Fortebiotics is specifically designed to support the intestinal health of dogs and cats, even in the most challenging cases, such as diarrhea caused by stress or eating unsuitable foods.
Key Benefits:
- Fast action: As a postbiotic product, its active compounds are ready to be absorbed and act directly in the intestine, without having to wait for live bacteria to colonize.
- Amount of bacteriocins: Bacteriocins are natural antimicrobial compounds produced by beneficial bacteria that act selectively against pathogenic microorganisms, making them an effective tool for addressing intestinal dysbiosis. These molecules exert a potent antibacterial action by binding directly to harmful bacteria, inhibiting their growth and preventing their proliferation without significantly altering the beneficial microbiota. In this way, bacteriocins restore the balance of the intestinal ecosystem by specifically targeting the pathogens responsible for dysbiosis, facilitating faster recovery and promoting optimal intestinal health. Furthermore, as a natural solution, their use minimizes bacterial resistance associated with traditional antibiotics, offering a safe and effective alternative for combating infections and intestinal imbalances.
- Reduces intestinal inflammation: Thanks to its butyrate content and other beneficial metabolites, it relieves irritation and strengthens the intestinal barrier.
- Safe and easy to administer: Its drop-based formula allows for precise dosage adjustment (1 drop per kilogram of weight) and has no side effects, making it ideal for use even in pets with compromised bowels.
Could diarrhea be a symptom of something more serious?
Although diarrhea is often due to something temporary, such as eating unhealthy foods or stress, it shouldn't be ignored. In some cases, it can be a sign of:
- Food intolerances: If your pet has recurring diarrhea, it could be due to an ingredient in their diet that they don't tolerate well.
- Chronic bowel diseases: Such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
- Infections or parasites: A veterinary examination can rule out these possibilities.
Christmas is a special time to share with our loved ones, including our pets. However, if your dog or cat has diarrhea, it's important to act quickly to ensure their well-being.
