Emergency treatment for cat trauma

When a cat is injured in an unfortunate accident, do not panic, if the owner can first calmly and immediately do emergency treatment, and then sent to the hospital, even if the trauma is serious cats can also save a small life! Now I would like to provide several methods for emergency treatment of cat trauma, so that the owner can be psychologically prepared in case of emergency. Bites: The most common trauma to cats is to bite and scratch each other, and such bites and scratches, regardless of the size of the wound, are very likely to cause septic phenomena, sometimes the body is hairy and not found in time, or the owner is momentarily negligent to find, will cause septic injuries due to delayed treatment, especially dark wounds of septic is the most terrible; therefore, when the cat fights or returns from outside, must check whether there is 2. Burns: As with people, when a pet burns, remember not to use ointment immediately, but first cool the affected area with running water. If there are some minor burns on the feet, first wrap the cat in a towel and quickly cool the affected area with running water is most important; if the head is burned, apply ice first and then wrap the affected area with a bandage, then apply ice from the top of the bandage and send it to the doctor immediately; if the whole body is burned, immediately soak the whole body in water and then wrap it with a cold wet towel, then let it lie on its side on a wooden board and send it to the doctor for first aid, while 3. fracture: if the fracture and can not walk, or dragging feet, do not touch the affected part, so as not to hurt the nerves or blood vessels; at the same time to prevent shock, must be attached to the vice wood and sent to the hospital; wound such as in the back, you can lie on the side of the board, and then fixed with a rope, if there is a deformation or trauma, bone protrusion, towel pad in the fracture 4. Drowning: As the cat’s body hair is delicate and has little oil, it cannot reject water and is most afraid of getting wet. If the cat is not drowning in the expected situation, you can grab the back feet with both hands and hang upside down for ten to twenty seconds, then swing up and down three to four times to let the water enter the lungs and spit it out; if the breathing is weak, artificial respiration can be performed. 5. Traffic accident: When the cat is injured in a traffic accident, you can first inspect the condition of the trauma and find a wooden board with cloth to replace the stretcher and let the cat lie down. If the bleeding does not stop, find the location of the bleeding first and then cut the hair around the wound, if there is a foreign object or glass fragment, remove it first, do a simple hemostasis and send it to the doctor immediately. However, sometimes when a cat is involved in a car accident, it does not appear to be traumatized or fractured and appears to be healthy, but after one or two days, there are symptoms such as hematuria or vomiting and deterioration. 6. Even if you want to feed it, you should remove the bones first to avoid any untoward incidents. As for the method of dealing with fish bones in the throat of cats, the left thumb and index finger should be pressed against the back of the canine teeth to open the tongue and light the inside of the throat with a flashlight, and then carefully remove the foreign body with a round forceps at the front end. 7. constantly rub the eyes that are bloodshot and tearing. At this time, if the human eye drops are used to spot or wash the foreign body based on love, it will aggravate the condition. Note that local treatment of trauma should be accompanied by systemic treatment, such as infusion, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory measures to prevent infection.
