Is it okay to give milk to a cat?

The veterinarian explained that if lactose is not broken down, all milk sugar settles in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal. There, its fermentation occurs, as a result of which gas is released and water is attracted. As a result, the cat begins to suffer from flatulence and diarrhea.

And the threat is not the diarrhea itself, but its consequences for the pet. If it lasts long, it is fraught with dehydration and a decrease in the level of electrolytes in the blood. In such a situation, you should definitely show your pet to a veterinarian.
