Cats will not stay still at all. It is common for cats to jump up and down, and injuries or accidents are inevitable. At this time, the owner should not only take the cat to a hospital with better technology and equipment as soon as possible, but also perform emergency treatment before going to the hospital, so as to alleviate the cat's injury.

In order to properly deal with cats in emergencies, owners should collect these commonly encountered treatment methods summarized below, so that they will not panic when encountering the same problem, and handle it quickly and skillfully. ​​​​​​

What to do if your cat is injured

Bleeding problem

If the cat is bleeding slightly, you can use gauze to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding continues about ten minutes after treatment, the cat should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible while the bleeding is stopped. Because sometimes cats will bleed when using human disinfectants, so do not use them based on your own judgment.

Burn problem

If the cat is burned, the burned area needs to be cooled immediately at this time. You can cool it by taking a shower with cold water. On the way to the hospital, you can put coolant on the towel to cool down the cat's body, so as to make the cat more comfortable.

Fracture problem

If your cat has a fracture, try not to move the injured part, but take the cat to the hospital immediately. If the cat's expression is that it is in pain, be careful not to touch the injured area when picking it up.

Fever problem

If it is found that the cat's body temperature is too high, the cat should be cooled down first before being given to the pet. You can wrap coolant in a towel under the armpits and thighs to cool down. Be careful not to suddenly over-cool your cat's body, and try to avoid direct contact with ice cubes or getting the cat's body wet. If the cat is shaking, wrap it in a blanket and take it to the hospital for treatment.

Spasm problem

During convulsions, cats may foam at the mouth, fall to the ground, and become incontinent. Don’t panic at this time. Mainly protect the cat from touching furniture and other objects. After the spasm stops, wrap the cat in a blanket and observe it for a while. If the cat’s condition has stabilized, send it to the hospital immediately.

Accidental eating and drinking

When a cat accidentally eats a foreign object, you should immediately open the cat's mouth to confirm whether there is any foreign object left in the mouth. If it can still be taken out, use your fingers to help the cat take out the foreign object. If you drink some liquid by mistake, it will flow into the intestines within a few hours, so take your cat to the hospital immediately.

Heat stroke problem

During the hottest period of summer, cats can also suffer from heatstroke.Be careful if you are in a closed room or a car where the air conditioner does not work. If it is heat stroke, the cat's body temperature will reach above 41°C. At this time, you can turn on the air conditioner, let the cat lie in a place where the air conditioner cannot blow, and wrap the coolant in a towel to cool the cat's belly. If the cat can drink water, give it water immediately, use a wet towel or coolant to cool down the body, and take it to the hospital.

Electric shock problem

When a cat chews through a wire and gets an electric shock, humans are also at risk of getting an electric shock, so unplug it before picking up the cat. When the cat is not breathing, make sure its heart is still beating. If the heart has stopped beating, it is necessary to perform artificial cardiopulmonary resuscitation, so send it to the hospital immediately.
