Many people believe that cats are very popular, but do you know cats’ ascites? And how can cats get ascites? In fact, sometimes cats will develop ascites due to infection with viruses, bacteria or parasites. In addition, cats may also develop ascites due to diseases such as digestive tract disease, kidney disease, tumors or anemia.
Ascites in cats are an infectious disease. Most of the cats suffer from ascites due to infectious factors, and may also be caused by digestive tract infection.
Cats' ascites are effusion in the abdominal cavity. There will be a small amount of liquid in the abdominal cavity of the cat to maintain lubrication. But if a large amount of liquid leaks from other places, cat ascites will form.
The formation of cats ascites is generally a gradual process. At the beginning, it will be difficult for you to see from the surface of the cat that these liquids penetrate into the cat's abdominal cavity. The fluid that penetrates the cat's abdominal cavity may come from the cat's blood vessels or abdominal walls and may also come from the cat's internal organs.
