It is inevitable that a cat will get sick and see a doctor. Sometimes they need injections to make them recover faster. Not all families with cats are close to the pet hospital. Although they can be hospitalized, considering the expensive medical expenses, Bian Xiao helped you come up with an idea to try to give the cat an injection yourself. Here are some ways to give a cat an injection.
There are subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, intravenous injection and intraperitoneal injection for cats.
First, subcutaneous injection
Choose the subcutaneous part of the neck or inner thigh, because the skin is thin and the subcutaneous tissue is loose, and there is often a certain amount of subcutaneous fat, which is easy to inject but slow to absorb. Generally, it takes 5- 10 minutes after injection to show the efficacy. Attention must be paid to Baoding, shearing and disinfection (75% alcohol) during injection. The operator should pinch the skin with his left hand to form wrinkles, and hold the needle in his right hand to penetrate the subcutaneous part of 1.
Second, intramuscular injection
Hip, thigh, neck or back are often selected for intramuscular injection, but blood vessels and nerves are scarce. The operation process is also Baoding, shearing, disinfection and injection. The average person is stabbed 2-2 times. 60 degrees and 5 centimeters. Withdraw it after puncture, and make sure there is no blood in the syringe before injection. After that, it is necessary to disinfect with alcohol cotton balls and press acupuncture points for a short time to prevent bleeding and infection.
Three. mainline
Inject the liquid medicine directly into human veins, generally choose the small saphenous vein outside the hind leg or the cephalic vein inside the forearm. The operation sequence is as follows: shearing and disinfection: the vein above the injection site is tied tightly with a hose to expose, and the skin and vein of people are punctured in the direction parallel to the direction of blood vessels, and the liquid medicine is injected slowly after infusion, and the needle hole is pressed with a sterile cotton ball after infusion, and the needle is pulled out and sterilized. If the amount of liquid medicine is large, such as injecting physiological saline or glucose, people can insert scalp needles into veins.
Four. Intraperitoneal injection
It is suitable for massive infusion when venous reflux disorder occurs. Generally, the midpoint of the line between umbilical cord and pubic anterior margin and one side of abdominal white line are selected for injection. The operation sequence is Baoding, shearing, supine, disinfection, pulling the abdominal skin with the left hand, and inserting the needle into the skin, muscle and peritoneum. You must pay attention to the sudden loss of resistance through the peritoneum and feel depressed. You must master the depth and strength of the puncture to prevent the blood and gastrointestinal contents from being sucked back after stabbing the internal organs. At this time, a small amount of normal saline is injected first, and then a large amount of liquid medicine is slowly input when there is no resistance. The amount of infusion for cats can be 50-300 ml each time. Note: inject the liquid medicine and pay attention to its concentration. In order to facilitate absorption, the liquid medicine is generally isotonic or hypotonic; Must be strictly disinfected according to the requirements of aseptic operation to prevent bacterial infection and peritonitis.
