Each person with a four-legged pet lives in the house, probably knows how annoying and sad it is when an animal is sick. Of course, the owner wants to do everything to make the cat's malaise go away as quickly as possible. Indeed, for many owners of their Murka and Barsika - not just animals, but members of their families, spoiled and beloved children.
Call for help
If your pet is sick, first examine it yourself and evaluate the condition of the animal. Decide if you need qualified help from a veterinarian or if you can do it yourself. Of course, it’s better to show the injured animal to the doctor, since similar symptoms can then result in the wrong cat disease that you suspected.
Patient care
Remember yourself during an illness, your feeling and condition. The animal experiences the same thing. A cat's disease is a good reason to take care of her peace. Limit all the contacts of the fluffy patient with other animals, do not let the children pull him, try to play with him. You can put a pussy in a carriage or some kind of box if she herself refuses isolation. Complete peace will speed recovery, however, make sure that the cat is not in a draft or near heating appliances, and that the lighting is scattered and dim.
Medication
A rare cat disease can do without prescribing or taking medication. Unlike dogs, cats usually refuse such treatment, so they have to be fed syrups and tablets by force. The liquid can be poured into the mouth with a small syringe or a syringe without a needle, and the tablet is placed as deep as possible on the root of the tongue. Hold the animal until it swallows. To speed up the process of swallowing, you can stroke the cat's throat in descending movements. In the event that the cat's disease did not affect her appetite, mix the crushed tablet with a small amount of food that is especially attractive to the animal. If a cat refuses to eat, before giving her medicine, you need to force-feed her at least a little. Raw yolk is suitable for this, it can be administered in the same way as liquid preparations. Taking drugs on an empty stomach can ruin the digestive tract.
No false pity
If a cat's disease requires unpleasant manipulations for successful treatment, do not “pity” the pet, independently canceling the appointment. Enema, injections - all this is done to improve the condition of the four-legged patient, and not in order to inflict pain on him. For example, ear diseases in cats sometimes require injections of antibiotics, instillation of drops in the ear canal and other “amenities”, but without this, recovery is impossible. If you know how to inject intramuscular injections, then you can carry out the manipulation personally, if not, then do not throw the animal during injections. Your presence will reassure him.
Patience
During an ailment, a pussy can become moody, irritable, forgive her for that. Changes in mood, refusal to communicate, delicious and beloved food - all these are consequences of cat disease. Vomiting, diarrhea often accompany poisoning, do not scold the animal for violation of cleanliness.
