CATDOLL : Can cats drink coconut milk?

Cats cannot drink coconut milk because it contains a high sugar content. Most cats are lactose intolerant. Feeding cats with coconut milk will increase the digestive burden of cats, causing diarrhea and loose stools. In addition, coconut milk contains many allergens, which can easily cause allergic reactions. It is recommended to feed pets with appropriate amounts of milk or goat milk powder.

What should I do if my cat drinks coconut milk?

1. Observe the cat's physical condition to see if vomiting, diarrhea, etc. If it has only drunk a little and there is no abnormality, don't worry. If there is an abnormality, you can feed some probiotics appropriately. If the condition is more serious, it is best to send it to a pet hospital for treatment to avoid delaying the disease.

2. If the cat does not vomit or have diarrhea after drinking coconut milk, it means nothing is wrong. However, if the cat has diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain after drinking coconut milk, which are signs of lactose intolerance, stop feeding immediately and take remedial measures.

3. If a cat vomits or has diarrhea after drinking coconut milk, the owner can feed it the corresponding pet-specific antiemetic and antidiarrheal medicine, and then continue to observe the cat's physical condition. As long as the cat's symptoms are relieved, there is no need to worry.
