The cat is sick. Not eating, drinking, or playing around. As an owner, you must be very anxious. What can we do for the cat at this time?

First of all, when you find that your cat is sick, you should take the cat to the pet hospital for a detailed examination in time to confirm what kind of disease the cat is suffering from, and then prescribe the right medicine to take care of the sick cat scientifically so that it can recover as soon as possible. . ​​​​​​

When a cat is sick, the owner should give the cat more relationship and love. Prepare food for pet cats that is good in palatability, rich in nutrients, light and easy to digest and absorb, and prepare fresh drinking water for cats. In drinking water, breeders can add an appropriate amount of salt to maintain the balance of water and salt metabolism in cats.

When a cat is sick, the breeder can gently touch the cat's body with both hands to promote blood circulation on the cat's body surface. At the same time, the breeder should promptly clean and scrub the cat's fur that is soiled by urine and feces. The cat mats and daily eating utensils in the cat litter must be cleaned and disinfected in time. In winter, you should pay attention to keeping cats cold-proof and warm, and in summer, you should ensure that the cat's living environment is ventilated and comfortable. And let the pet cat rest quietly and solidly, and don't disturb it by teasing it at will.

After most cats become ill, their digestive function will be affected, and they often show symptoms such as loss of appetite, even not eating or drinking, vomiting, and diarrhea. If easy-to-digest, nutritious, and delicious food, especially adequate drinking water, are not provided in a timely manner, it can lead to a series of functional disorders, acidosis, heart failure, and even death in cats. Therefore, to strengthen the dietary care of sick cats, we must first provide sufficient drinking water. Put a little salt in the drinking water (0.9 grams of salt in 100 ml of water) to maintain the balance of water and salt metabolism in the cat's body. If the sick cat does not drink water, it can be fed with a small rubber ball, plastic bottle or syringe, but be careful not to act too hastily to prevent it from choking on water. If the sick cat is severely dehydrated, fluids must be given to completely solve the problem. Cats with digestive system diseases should be given delicious and easy-to-digest liquid food, such as egg soup, broth, rice soup, sugar water, etc. These foods are easy to digest and are more suitable for feeding sick cats, but their mineral and vitamin content are not high, so these substances should be added appropriately when feeding.

After the cat is sick, it consumes a lot of energy, is listless, has increased eye excrement, lies alone, and moves slowly. It does not like to groom its coat as usual, so its coat appears disheveled and dirty. Severely ill cats may even defecate everywhere and completely lose their previous good habits. At this time, the owner should not dislike the sick cat, but should love and care for the sick cat more, comb its coat to promote blood circulation on the body surface, scrub the fur soiled by urine and feces in a timely manner; disinfect the cat litter and cat utensils frequently; in summer The room should be ventilated, properly equipped with cooling facilities, and attention should be paid to preventing heatstroke and cooling; in winter, attention should be paid to keeping warm and cold to prevent cats from catching colds. Of course, sick cats should ask a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Only on the basis of active treatment, strengthening feeding management and careful care,Only in this way can the sick cat be restored to health as quickly as possible.
