How to judge whether a newly acquired kitten is healthy or not? Is there a hidden disease? Let Bian Xiao tell you that you can know whether a cat is healthy by observing the following six aspects.
First of all, the eyes
Bright eyes, no tears, no secretions, and the left and right eyes are the same size.
Second, the ear
Ears should be clean and upright (except for Scottish cats with broken ears), with little or no earwax and no other foreign objects. Healthy cats should be sensitive to their owners' calls or other sounds in a quiet state, and their ears will swing back and forth after hearing the sounds. Sick cats or deaf cats hardly respond to sounds.
Third, the nose
The front end of the nose should be wet and cold, without too much secretion. When the nose is dry, it means that the cat may have a fever (such as an infectious disease). But the cat's nose is dry when it sleeps.
Four. oral cavity
The oral cavity is clean and dry, with no saliva or food, no bad breath, pink gums, tongue and palate, white or yellow teeth and no teeth.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) skin and fur
The skin is soft and elastic, the skin temperature is neither cold nor hot, and it is mild and suitable for hands. The coat is thick, soft and shiny, without bald spots, and the skin is not red or swollen. There are no parasites like lice and fleas.
Six, anus
The anus and external genitalia should be clean and free of secretions, and the nearby coat should not be stained with feces and dirt. If it is filthy, it may indicate diarrhea or reproductive system diseases.
In addition, the function of internal organs should be checked to determine whether the cat has organ diseases.
