What are the symptoms of a cat cold?

Cats often have cold symptoms such as sneezing and shortness of breath after catching a cold. In addition, cats will feel weak, listless, unwilling to move, and may lose appetite or vomit.

Sometimes cats will have symptoms such as trembling, fever and even persistent cough. The above symptoms indicate that the cat has caught a cold and needs timely care and treatment.

2. Cats that catch colds easily

Because cats are naturally timid, afraid of cold, and their hair is particularly thin, they are more likely to catch a cold from the cold wind. Especially young cats and weak cats are more likely to catch a cold. At the same time, cats that are kept indoors all the year round but suddenly taken out of the house will also catch a cold because the temperature adjustment is not timely.

3. How to prevent cats from catching a cold?

In order to keep cats away from the danger of catching a cold, we can take the following measures:

(1) Stimulate the cat to generate its own body temperature: it can provide more warm places for the cat, such as preparing some comfortable nests and cat pads. The electric pillow/blanket sold online will not harm the cat as long as it is used properly.

(2) Control the indoor temperature: the environment where the cat's house is located should not be too cold. It is best to keep the indoor temperature above 18 degrees Celsius, and put the cat in a room away from windows and doors.

(3) Pay attention to what cats wear when they go out: If the weather is cold, cats who go out can consider wearing some warm clothes, such as casual clothes and coats.

(4) Regular maintenance: Bathing and grooming cats regularly can reduce the chance of catching a cold.

4. Treatment of cat cold

After the cat is diagnosed with a cold, it needs timely treatment. Generally, when cats are only slightly cold, you can consider some diet conditioning and local medication. For example, when symptoms such as cough and sneezing have appeared, cats can be given an appropriate amount of Kechuanning orally.

For cats with serious physical symptoms and symptoms such as fever all over the body, you must ask a doctor for treatment in time to avoid sequelae caused by too serious illness.
