First of all, you need to know where the fracture is, carefully observe whether the condition is serious, and if it is serious, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
If the cat is an adult and the injury is not serious, you can treat it yourself without sending it to the hospital. If it cannot be treated, send it to the hospital. However, kittens under 4 months old are not fully developed and may be injured in other parts, so they should be sent to the hospital for examination as much as possible.
For cats that are not sent to the hospital, prepare medicinal gauze, bandages, scissors, tweezers, medical cotton, hydrogen peroxide, erythromycin ointment, and Yunnan Baiyao for treatment at any time. (1) Medicinal gauze and bandages are trauma treatment supplies. When a cat loses blood, immediately tie the upper end of the bleeding area tightly with gauze to prevent continued bleeding. Then use tweezers to hold medical cotton and apply high-concentration hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound, then sprinkle Yunnan Baiyao on it, cover it with gauze, and wrap it with a bandage. (2) If the cat has a fracture, wrap a bandage with a stick or board to clamp the fractured part, and then send it to the pet hospital as appropriate. (3) When a cat has a bleeding wound, you can use scissors to remove the hair around the wound to facilitate the application of medicine and cleaning of the wound. It is best to use medical scissors with round heads to avoid stabbing the cat when it struggles. (4) Cats are severely allergic to iodine molecules, which can even be fatal. Alcohol is highly irritating and can make cats feel very painful. Therefore, it is recommended to use high-concentration hydrogen peroxide to disinfect cats. (5) Erythromycin ointment can reduce inflammation of cats’ wounds. (6) Yunnan Baiyao can be applied externally to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding in wounds, or it can be taken internally to treat internal bleeding caused by cats falling.
