How to judge whether a cat is healthy?

The problem with cat health is that all three parts will have problems. The first part, the basic physical condition: cats are unwell, will not play mentally, and will tend to rest and recover. The second part, physical changes: whether there is anger and pain when touching cats. The first part, basic physical condition: mental condition This is the first item to check the health condition of pets. But because cats usually sleep more, you should distinguish whether cats are mentally ill or sleepy. The best way is to take a cat-teasing stick and try it in Doby. If the cat is unwell, it will not play mentally and will tend to rest and recover. If you take him out to play, he will immediately climb back to his nest. A cat with a good appetite and drinking water can eat and pull, indicating that there is no emergency (high health probability, but not necessarily). . ) loss of appetite may be picky eaters, but the big probability is physical discomfort. A sharp increase in food intake is not good either. It could be diabetes or hyperthyroidism. Disliking drinking water can easily lead to urinary tract problems, and the surge in drinking water may also be a problem of kidney disease or diabetes. Abnormal defecation behavior Abnormal defecation behavior includes constipation, strenuous defecation, soft stool, diarrhea, abnormal color, worm in stool, bloody stool, etc. There are also urinating and urinating everywhere, urinating blood, holding urine and so on. These may be due to health problems, such as lower urinary tract problems, kidney diseases and diabetes. The second part, physical changes: If your intuition tells you that the cat is uncomfortable, in addition to the above three basic checks, then you need to touch and gently check the whole body of the cat, including those parts that are not allowed to touch at ordinary times (be careful). Check for bumps, scabs and other abnormal conditions, and touch the cat (where it is generally ok to touch) for signs of anger and pain. Do you touch it? Tiger butt? When the cat didn't resist. The decline of athletic ability means that cats are willing to run and jump, but their physical condition can't keep up, such as not jumping. This may be caused by physical aging, bone and joint diseases or systemic diseases. Change of Habits Every cat has its own special habits. For example, when you come home, you will say hello to you. When you hear some sounds, you will run immediately, such as the sound of the kitchen, follow you to the toilet and patrol the territory. If these usual behaviors decrease and become drowsy, shovel cats should pay attention. Weight changes include losing weight or getting fat, so hug and touch regularly to feel the state of weight and muscles. The change of weight is not necessarily proportional to appetite. For example, cats with hyperthyroidism will continue to lose weight despite eating. Pay attention to the cat's hair condition, whether it has become unkempt and knotted, dull, or shed more hair than in previous years, alopecia areata, and even skin diseases such as abnormal itching, ringworm, rash and lump. The third part, obvious symptoms: the possibility of abnormal bad breath such as halitosis and drooling includes oral problems such as stomatitis and dental calculus, stomach discomfort such as indigestion and chronic gastritis, and may also be the manifestation of renal failure. Cat's dental health is more important than you think. It is suggested that adult cats fed with dry food should brush their teeth regularly if possible to prevent and treat oral problems as soon as possible. The reasons why cats drool include: eating foreign bodies by mistake (sharp tools), oral ulcer, stomatitis and so on. It may also be feline leukemia. Unusually healthy nose A cat's nose is wet and cold. If the cat's nose is dry, it means that the cat is not very comfortable. If the cat's nose is dry and hot, it is necessary to measure the cat's temperature immediately. The cat may have a fever. If the cat has a runny nose, please pay attention to check for colds and cat plague. Vomiting can be found in the article: 7 reasons for abnormal gastrointestinal tract in cats! In particular, cats who eat cat food should pay attention to the problem of hairballs, and cats with chronic gastritis, indigestion and intermittent vomiting should pay attention to the improvement of exercise. Persistent vomiting may be an emergency, so it is recommended to see a doctor. The normal breathing times of cats with abnormal respiratory tract are 20-30 times per minute. If the number of breaths increases or decreases, dyspnea, wheezing and open mouth breathing may be respiratory diseases. Abnormal walking When a cat walks abnormally, including four limbs not touching the ground and limping, it may be paw injury, backstab's injury, or joint abnormality. My cat once went into the kitchen to steal food and got burned. It would limp like this. Cats with unusually healthy eyes should have bright and flexible eyes. If you find white mucosa, too many gums and abnormal gums in a cat's eyes, it is also a sign of abnormal health. The body temperature of healthy cats is 38.0℃-39.6℃. If it is not convenient to measure the rectal temperature, we can feel the temperature changes of the cat's nose and ears, which can also be used as a reference. If the cat has a fever, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. These are all health signs that may appear when a cat is abnormal. You can check it according to the form. If you find that the cat is in poor health, please seek medical advice as soon as possible, so as not to delay the healthy image of the cat.
