The season of cats in heat has arrived again~

During this period, many people may have heard the sounds of cats playing outdoors, although the sound may last for tens of minutes.

But the cats really fought for a very short time, and it ended before any of the cats even made a move.

The reason for this phenomenon is that cats are very pragmatic animals. Even if they defeat another cat, if they themselves are injured in the process, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

If these small wounds are not detected and treated in time, they will often become fatal injuries due to infection.

For cats, the wounds from fights mainly come from scratches and bites. The scratches are usually obvious and not fatal (usually they are just simple skin scratches). The most troublesome bites are those from other cats.

I would say that the reason it is very troublesome is that it is not easy to find wounds that penetrate the skin of cat bites, mainly because the surface of the wound looks like just a small hole. If the cat has long hair, the wound is usually It will be covered and difficult to find.

There are a lot of bacteria in the cat’s mouth. If the wound is not discovered and disinfected in time, the wound will usually become infected and suppurate, leading to more serious consequences.

Therefore, when your cat is bitten, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you are unable to take your cat to the doctor immediately, you can also help your cat through some simple emergency procedures, such as:

1. Covering: Please first take a clean blanket and bath towel to cover the cat.

The covering feeling not only makes cats feel safe, but also makes it more convenient for us to treat wounds, preventing cats from hurting people due to pain during the process.

2. Prevent infection: In order to prevent the wound from being infected, you can use hydrogen peroxide to rinse the cat's wound and clean away the hair, dirt, etc. around the wound.

If you don’t have hydrogen peroxide at home, you can use warm water instead. Because the process of cleaning the wound can cause pain to the cat, the aforementioned wrapping action is very important.

3. Cleaning: If possible, you can try to shave the hair around the wound to ensure that the wound is not covered or contaminated by hair.

If you cannot ensure that the process goes smoothly, there is no need to force it, because the shaving process may cause secondary injuries due to immature operating skills or the cat's resistance.

4. Stop bleeding: If the wound does not stop bleeding, please use a clean cotton cloth or towel to press the wound.

5. Send the cat to the hospital: Send the cat to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid worsening of the condition.

Due toWe don’t know when an emergency will occur. I suggest that everyone should prepare their emergency hospital pocket list to ensure that they are needed in case of emergencies.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that if you are bitten by a cat during the process, please seek medical treatment immediately. Because cat bite wounds are usually deep and difficult to clean and disinfect, they can easily lead to serious bacterial infection and cellulitis.
