Mental state: This is a very direct way to judge. If you are in poor mental state, don't mess around. Put it in the arranged nest, warm it with a heat source and let it recover slowly. You can also feed a little glucose saline (heating is needed, and then heating method is introduced). This is a very conventional product to replenish energy and moisture, without any side effects.
Body temperature: The data introduces the body temperature of normal kittens in detail, and it also emphasizes not to feed hypothermia kittens. Please read it carefully.
Jumei: Generally speaking, gums are a very important feature to measure the health of kittens. Heavy gums may be due to poor health for many reasons, such as excessive internal heat, endocrine disorders, or other infectious diseases. In any case, such a small kitten can't blindly take medicine. It should be said that it can't take medicine, it can only be adjusted slowly. If you have serious gums, the first thing to do is to clean them with a cotton swab slowly dipped in warm water, and then apply erythromycin eye ointment. This is a very good medicine. Don't buy other medicines. Nothing is more suitable for kittens. When my first kitten first arrived, the gum was so heavy that I could hardly open my eyes. It took two days to clean it up and just apply eye ointment twice.
Dehydration: If dehydration is judged, it is important to replenish water in time. If dehydration is not serious, you can choose oral glucose saline. If dehydration is serious or even coma, you can consider subcutaneous injection of physiological saline (please note that it is pure physiological saline instead of glucose physiological saline, because glucose contains sugar and cannot be used for subcutaneous injection), but only if you master enough subcutaneous injection methods.
2. What supplies should I prepare for my cat?
Food container: the bottom is stable and easy to clean. Choose a slightly deeper, heavier container with a stable bottom. Some cats like to eat with their front paws on the edge of the food container, so if the food container is too light, it will spill. Prepare two, one to eat and one to drink. There are plastic products, stainless steel products, ceramic products and so on. , choose what kind of parts, as long as it is easy to clean. Some food containers are opened regularly to hold food.
Toilet: If there are two floors at home, it is better to use two plastic toilets with shovels, which is more convenient to sell in the market. If it's a kitten, choose not too deep, if it's a big cat, choose a bigger one. There are washed and reused sand and paper sand, and it is better to choose the one that can be solidified by urine. Just throw away the solidified part like a ball. It's simple. This kind of thing can be bought very cheaply in pet shops.
Box for loading cats: When going to the hospital or going out to load cats, choose a strong and well-ventilated box, and some people use corrugated boxes instead. It's sold in the market, and the one you can see inside is better. Cat boxes are mostly made of plastic and rattan, and there are three sizes to choose from. Choosing a box mainly depends on whether it is light and strong. If the box itself is heavy, it will be difficult to move. After buying the box, try it from time to time. It will be very convenient to use in an emergency.
Claw grinder: In addition to those sold in the market, you can also make your own claw grinder. The claw grinder sold in the market is a washboard-like thing, made of corrugated cardboard or blankets. Corrugated board products, if equipped with a plastic cover, the paper in the middle is broken and can be replaced, so it is generally cheaper. However, compared with blanket cloth products, the disadvantage is that it is easier to slag. The claw grinder can also be made by itself. Stick the fish cake board on the wall of the box, and then spread the cloth that cats like.
3. What kind of cat food do you choose?
(1) What should a kitten eat?
Cat-specific milk: Cats' stomachs and intestines are different from those of people, so the milk that people drink is actually not suitable for cats! Cat-specific milk can be purchased from professional veterinarians, cat shops and large pet shops. If the cat can't drink water from the cat bowl by itself, you should prepare a larger syringe, soak the warm cat milk and use a needle (of course, there is no needle! ) suck the cat's milk into the syringe, then grab the kitten and slowly suck the cat's milk into the cat's mouth with a needle. At this time, the kitten will know that it is food and drink it slowly. Special attention should be paid at this time: the temperature of soaking cat milk must not be too high, because the cat's tongue is very afraid of scalding!
Soak dry cat food in water: When eating cats, about half an hour ago, you should soak ordinary dry cat food in water until you eat it on time! If you pay attention, you can also buy special dry materials for kittens! In addition, if you are worried about insufficient nutrition, you can also use cat-specific milk instead of water to soak dry materials.
(2) What should adult cats eat?
Cats eat differently according to their size, activity and physical condition. Most cats can control their food intake. If the nutrition in the food is balanced, they will eat in moderation. Unless your cat is obese, you don't need to limit its food intake.
If cats always have food, they will form the habit of eating less and eating more meals a day. Nevertheless, it is easy to adapt to the diet system you arranged for it, usually twice a day.
Although most cats control their food intake, some cats also overeat. This usually happens to old cats and cats that have been operated on, especially when they are kept at home. If cats overeat, they should reduce the amount of food they feed each time. And be sure to stop feeding it snacks or meals, and don't let the shopping guide feed the cat without knowing it.
