Or maybe it\u2019s better to say that they love salt. Either way, anything salty is a tempting treat to cats, and they will find anything salty appetizing (even nonfood items). This is one of the reasons cats like to lick at your tears or sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-cats-have-salt\">\u00bfPueden los gatos tomar sal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, cats can have salt. In fact, they need salt to survive. Like most creatures with sentience, salt is needed for nervous system processes and nutrient movement. Salt also helps signals move through the body for when a cat has to use the litter box. Without salt, a cat\u2019s body would shut down and be unable to function properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mira este v\u00eddeo educativo sobre si los gatos deben consumir sal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u00bfLa SAL o el Sodio son MALOS para los gatos? - Aptitud de la se\u00f1ora del gato\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZRJRmw6uIBo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-salt-is-safe-for-cats\">\u00bfCu\u00e1nta sal es segura para los gatos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at cat food\u2014wet or dry, it doesn\u2019t matter. You will notice that there is far more sodium in cat food than you probably thought. But how much salt do cats really need? About <a href=\"https:\/\/pets.thenest.com\/salt-cat-food-good-bad-10443.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">21-40 mg de sal al d\u00eda<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To humans, that doesn\u2019t sound like much. For cats, it\u2019s plenty. Now, keep in mind that some larger cats can consume a bit more salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do have to be mindful, though, of just how much of the salty stuff your cat is munching on. Salt is present in wet and dry food, as well as treats. If you notice that your cat\u2019s urine has changed or that they are displaying signs of urinary or kidney issues, start removing some sources of salt from their diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-sodium-deficiency-in-cats\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la deficiencia de sodio en los gatos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existe un delicado equilibrio entre muy poca y demasiada sal para los felinos. Muchos gatos necesitan un poco de sal en su dieta, de lo contrario pueden sufrir <a href=\"https:\/\/wagwalking.com\/cat\/condition\/sodium-deficiency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deficiencia de sodio<\/a>. This means that your cat doesn\u2019t have enough salt in their bloodstream for proper functioning. Since sodium is essential to all living things, you will have to give your cat additional salt to help with the lack of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La deficiencia de sodio puede causar complicaciones neurol\u00f3gicas. Si notas que tu gato se comporta de forma extra\u00f1a, ll\u00e9valo al veterinario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adem\u00e1s, la deficiencia de sodio puede ser causada por otros problemas m\u00e9dicos, como insuficiencia renal, hipotiroidismo, insuficiencia card\u00edaca congestiva, s\u00edndrome nefr\u00f3tico y m\u00e1s. Nuevamente, la atenci\u00f3n veterinaria es la \u00fanica manera de saber con seguridad qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 sucediendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-salt-make-cats-sick\">\u00bfLa sal enferma a los gatos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the appropriate quantities, no, salt won\u2019t make cats sick. If your feline companion does manage to consume more than 42 mg of salt a day, they could end up getting sick. Large doses of salt could be downright damaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando un gato tiene demasiada sal, puede desarrollar intoxicaci\u00f3n por sal. Los s\u00edntomas de la intoxicaci\u00f3n por sal incluyen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diarrea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letargo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>V\u00f3mitos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Falta de apetito<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deshidraci\u00f3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>P\u00e9rdida de coordinaci\u00f3n y equilibrio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Convulsiones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agresi\u00f3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fiebre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any time you see these symptoms, don\u2019t wait. Take your cat to the veterinarian immediately, as salt poisoning can be deadly if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adem\u00e1s, debes mantener ciertos tipos de sales lejos de tu felino. La sal de roca, el agua salada (agua de mar), las l\u00e1mparas de sal del Himalaya y la sal de mesa pueden ser incre\u00edblemente peligrosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-case-of-salt-poisoning\">Un caso de intoxicaci\u00f3n por sal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfA los gatos les gusta la sal? Demasiado, en algunos casos. Tomemos, por ejemplo, el <a href=\"https:\/\/protectapet.com\/blogs\/blog\/himalayan-salt-lamp-warning-for-cat-owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gato de Nueva Zelanda llamado Ruby<\/a> who had a bit too much Zen around the salt lamp. Ruby\u2019s owner, Maddie Smith, had brought home a Himalayan salt lamp. She didn\u2019t know that Ruby had been licking at it until the cat was behaving very strangely\u2014walking with her head down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Startled by the change in her four-legged companion, Maddie swept up Ruby and took her to an emergency vet. At the vet, Maddie learned that her cat had toxic levels of sodium in her bloodstream. This, in turn, caused Ruby\u2019s brain to swell, which manifested as staggered walking and a drooped head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maddie figured it out\u2014that Ruby had gotten to the salt lamp. It was the only change she had made. So, if you plan on getting a salt lamp, make sure you keep your cats far away from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-treat-salt-poisoning-in-cats\">\u00bfC\u00f3mo se trata la intoxicaci\u00f3n por sal en los gatos?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los accidentes ocurren. Tal vez Tiger empuj\u00f3 el salero de la encimera y comenz\u00f3 a lamer la sal derramada en el suelo. Quiz\u00e1s tu gato empez\u00f3 a beber agua de la pecera (tambi\u00e9n es un no-no). Si anticipa que su gato tiene una sobredosis de sal, vig\u00edlelo para detectar cualquier s\u00edntoma. Si nota el m\u00e1s m\u00ednimo cambio, llame al veterinario e inf\u00f3rmele lo sucedido. Deber\u00edas entrar de inmediato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vet may administer IV fluids to help flush the sodium from your cat\u2019s body. This method is highly effective at bringing your cat\u2019s sodium levels to normal. Tests will also be performed to see how your cat\u2019s organs are faring and if their brain activity is normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despu\u00e9s de eso, tu gato necesitar\u00e1 algunos l\u00edquidos y mucho descanso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When spotted early, salt poisoning is easy enough to treat; the prognosis is also good. However, it\u2019s when you wait that permanent brain damage could occur. So keep your eyes peeled to your curious cat whenever they are around salt.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-720x510.jpg\" alt=\"sal del himalaya\" class=\"wp-image-644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-720x510.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-380x269.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-768x544.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-1536x1088.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1451.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1111.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-840x595.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/white-and-brown-stone-fragment-stockpack-unsplash-1200x850.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keep-your-paws-off-the-salt-lamp\">Mantenga sus patas alejadas de la l\u00e1mpara de sal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do cats like salt? They certainly do! Cats will lick salt lamps and go after any salty morsel they can find. In fact, cats like salt so much that they are at constant risk of sodium poisoning. It\u2019s best to keep track of how much salt your cat is consuming, especially if they are older or at risk of urinary or kidney issues. In short, make sure your cat is on a low-sodium diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691674557903\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfEst\u00e1 bien que los gatos coman sal?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, no es recomendable que los gatos consuman sal en exceso.
