Gastrointestinal upsets are quite common. They are often of short duration but can become chronic and recurring, which can be distressing.

What Does the Gastrointestinal Tract Do?

The gastrointestinal tract digests food and absorbs nutrients. The liver and pancreas release powerful enzymes that break down the food. Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine while the large intestine is important for water and mineral absorption.

There are many possible causes of gastrointestinal upsets including infections, parasites, food allergies or intolerances or sudden changes in diet.

Signs of gastrointestinal conditions include diarrhoea, loss of appetite, vomiting and weight loss.

Diet is Important.

Gastrointestinal conditions can irritate the stomach and intestine and poorly digested food can contribute to the signs. A diet such as Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Feline EN St/Ox Gastrointestinal that’s easily digested ensures your cat gets all the essential nutrients necessary to support their recovery, while at the same time may help reduce the signs. In fact, many cases of chronic diarrhoea respond to dietary change alone.

With gastrointestinal conditions your cat may be more sensitive to food ingredients, so Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Feline EN St/Ox Gastrointestinal contains fewer protein sources to help minimise the risk of food intolerance or allergies. Feline EN St/Ox Gastrointestinal is highly palatable to ensure your cat will eat and enjoy it despite a reduced appetite.
