Why do cats catch a cold?

Siamese cats (details)

When it is cold in winter, the resistance of cats will become worse, or some cat houses are not good at keeping out the cold. When the weather suddenly cools down and the temperature difference is too large, the cat is likely to be stimulated, unable to adapt to the weather for a while and catch a cold, or feel unwell for other reasons. To treat a cat's cold, it is necessary to understand the cause of the cat's cold and prescribe the right medicine.

First, the reason why cats catch a cold in winter

1. Cats have poor physique, weak resistance and poor cold protection.

2. When the temperature in nature suddenly drops and the temperature difference is too large, the resistance of respiratory mucosa is often reduced, and the cat's body is stimulated by cold, so it can't adapt to the change for a while and catch a cold.

3. Or when the cat sweats after exercise, it can also be attacked by cold air.

Second, interpret the flu.

Influenza is a viral disease, which is usually spread through contact between cats. Antibiotics have no effect on the virus, so the usual treatment is to reduce the clinical symptoms of cats as much as possible, improve the cat's self-resistance through balanced food, and protect the cat's life until the cat recovers naturally. But there is a way to prevent it-vaccination can deal with the flu. Cat cold is an acute febrile disease mainly caused by upper respiratory tract mucositis. The clinical manifestations are elevated body temperature, cough, runny nose and frequent sneezing, especially for young cats. There are many diseases, and it will be dangerous if not treated in time.

Third, cats with this disease show symptoms of a bad cold, and may also have ulcers on the surface of their eyes or inside their mouths.

? Cats rely on their sense of smell to arouse their appetite, and influenza will lead to poor sense of smell, which will lead to a decrease in cats' food intake. Some cats will never recover and become chronic flu patients or "stuffy noses". Kittens are often the most serious victims. If they are not taken care of carefully, they will die. In order to help young cats resist this disease, Ma Ma needs to vaccinate young cats, while adult cats need to be vaccinated once a year.
