When a cat is unfortunately injured in an accident, don’t panic. If the owner can calm down and take emergency measures immediately before sending it to the hospital for treatment, even a cat with severe trauma can save a small life! Now I would like to provide several emergency methods for dealing with cat trauma, so that owners can be mentally prepared in case of emergencies.

1. Bites:The most common trauma to cats is bites and scratches between each other, and such bites and scratches, regardless of the size of the wound, are extremely easy to cause. Causes suppuration. Sometimes the cat has too much hair and fails to detect it in time, or the owner neglects to detect it for a while, which will cause purulent wounds due to delayed treatment, especially suppuration of hidden wounds. Therefore, when cats fight or come back from the outside, they must be checked. Check to see if there is a wound, because there is a type of bacteria in the cat’s toes or mouth that can easily cause suppuration in the subcutaneous tissue under the wound. Therefore, when a bite is found, it must be disinfected first and then receive veterinary diagnosis and treatment to ensure the health of the cat. and safety.

2. Burns: Just like people, when pets are burned, remember to never apply ointment immediately. Instead, you need to cool the affected area with running water first. If there are slight burns on the feet, etc., it is most important to wrap the cat with a towel first, and quickly cool the affected area with running water; if the head is burned, apply cold compresses with ice cubes first, then wrap the affected area with a bandage, and then Apply cold compresses from the bandage and send to the doctor immediately; if the whole body is burned, immediately soak the whole body in water, then wrap it with a cold wet towel, and then let it lie on its side on the board and send it to the doctor for first aid. Feed lotion diluted in water to prevent symptoms of dehydration.

3. Fracture: If you have a fracture and cannot walk, or drag your feet, do not touch the affected part casually to avoid damaging the nerves or blood vessels; at the same time, to prevent shock, you must stick to the supporting wood And take it to the hospital; if the wound is on the back, you can lie on your side on a wooden board and fix it with a rope. If there is deformation or trauma or protruding bones, put a towel under the fractured part, and then take it to the hospital carefully first aid.

4. Drowning: Because cats have fine hair and little oil, they cannot repel water and are most afraid of getting wet. If the cat is not drowning as expected, you can hold the hind legs with both hands and hang upside down for ten to twenty seconds, and then swing it up and down three to four times to spit out the water that has entered the lungs; when breathing is weak, artificial rescue can be performed breathe.

5. Traffic Accident: When a cat is unfortunately injured in a traffic accident, you can first briefly check the condition of the injury, and then use local materials to find a wooden board and spread it with cloth to replace the stretcher, so that the cat can Lie down and if the bleeding doesn’t stop, you can first find out where the bleeding is.Then cut off the body hair around the wound. If there are any foreign bodies or glass fragments, remove them first, perform simple hemostasis first, and send to a doctor immediately for treatment. But sometimes when a cat is involved in a car accident, the cat appears to be healthy with no trauma or fractures. However, one or two days later, the cat may develop symptoms such as hematuria or vomiting and worsen the condition.

Therefore, try not to feed bones like fish bones that break into pieces and can easily pierce the throat. Even if you want to feed, you should remove the bones first to avoid accidents. As for the way to deal with fishbone throat thorns in cats, use your left thumb and index finger to press behind the canine teeth to open the mouth, pull out the tongue, and use a flashlight to illuminate the inside of the throat, and then carefully remove the foreign body with tweezers with a round tip. If it feels difficult or When you can't help it, don't force it. It's better to send it to a doctor urgently.

7. Foreign objects entering the eyes: Once a foreign object enters the eyes, the cat will squint and have a depressed expression, and will continue to rub the bloodshot and tearful eyes. At this time, if you use eye drops intended for humans to put eye drops out of love, or wash the foreign objects with water, it will worsen the condition. Therefore, the best way is to send the doctor immediately. It is more appropriate for a veterinarian to handle it urgently. Of course, before sending the doctor During the process, in order to prevent the cat from constantly rubbing its eyes with its front feet, you can wrap the cat's front feet with a bandage to prevent the cat from rubbing its eyes with its front feet.
