What are the common diseases that cats can care at home without going to the hospital? How do you care?

As a qualified cat owner, your cat's health must be one of your greatest concerns. However, cats can get sick just like humans. Some cases need to be sent to the hospital immediately, while some cases can be treated and cared for directly at home through some simple methods.

I summarized the methods and steps that I helped my little orange cat to treat after it fell ill in recent years. Common diseases and nursing methods are below.

1 .folliculitis 2. Cat tinea III. Cat nose branch 4. Cat chin acne

1.？ Folliculitis:

Folliculitis is very easy for cats and other animals. It is a kind of skin inflammation caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites and other factors, which can lead to hair loss, skin redness and scab. This virus can be transmitted to people or other animals through contact, so attention should be paid to isolation and disinfection.

If the cat has this disease, you can clean the affected area with a clean medical cotton swab dipped in diluted alcohol or normal saline at home. In addition, in order to prevent cats from licking, erythromycin ointment should be applied. If it is tail hair removal, it is necessary to clean and diminish inflammation before applying medicine, so that it is easier to observe the recovery of cat tail hair follicles.

In addition, at this time, it is recommended to supplement cats with enough water and nutrition every day, especially vitamins A and E, which can promote the health of skin and hair. Do remember!

2.？ Cat moss:

Cat tinea is a fungal disease that occurs on the skin of cats, and it can be said that it is the natural enemy of cats. Generally, it will lead to round or oval tinea spots, hair loss and itchy skin. This virus can be transmitted to people or other animals through contact, so we should also pay attention to isolation and disinfection.

Once the cat gets this disease, it is necessary to supplement the cat with vitamin B in time to improve the skin immunity; In addition, if the infection is serious, then itraconazole can be taken orally? , but pay attention to the dose and time to avoid the burden on the liver; Terbinafine hydrochloride cream can be selected for external use and evenly applied to the affected area. At the same time, you can also wash the affected area with sulfur soap or stone sulfur mixture in water every night, but pay attention to blow-drying your hair to avoid breeding bacteria!

3.？ Cat nasal branches:

Cat nasal branch is also very common, which is an upper respiratory infection caused by cat rhinotracheitis herpesvirus, which can cause fever, sneezing, tears, oral ulcers and so on. This virus is very harmful to young cats. If not treated in time, it may cause death, so always pay attention.

Home care methods can be oral amoxicillin and ceftriaxone sodium. Because bacterial infection is often secondary, it is very necessary to use antibacterial drugs, and at the same time keep your eyes and nose clean to avoid secretions blocking the respiratory tract. In addition, cats with eye infections can use acyclovir or ribavirin eye drops, and remember to supplement nutrients such as glucose and vitamins.

4.？ Cat chin acne:

This is also a common disease. Skin problems caused by excessive secretion or blockage of sebaceous glands in cats usually lead to black or brown spots on the chin, which is somewhat similar to human acne. This situation generally does not affect the health and comfort of cats, but if it is seriously infected or inflamed, it may cause redness, scabbing and so on.

The easiest way to care at home is to gently clean your chin with warm water and special facial cleanser for pets to remove excess oil and dirt, and then dry it with a clean towel. Wash it once a day until the acne disappears.

In addition, if the acne has become inflamed or suppurated. Then don't be nervous. You can gently wipe the affected area with iodine or chlorhexidine solution, but be careful not to use disinfectants containing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, because they will irritate the skin. If the infection is serious, it may be necessary to use antibiotic ointment or oral antibiotics.

Finally, I hope our children can live a healthy and happy life. In addition, it should be noted that these measures can not replace professional medical services, but can help your cat alleviate discomfort and reduce some minor or initial pain. If your cat has persistent or severe symptoms, please take it to the vet in time to avoid delaying treatment! We all want our cats to live a healthy and happy life, so we should pay more attention to their physical changes, have regular physical examinations to repel insects, and find and deal with problems in time. Only in this way can we spend more wonderful time with our cats!
