In the daily process of raising cats, we often encounter various problems related to cats, but the most difficult and serious problem is the health of cats.
Whether the cat is healthy or not, you will understand by looking at these points.
1. State of mind.
A healthy cat is always energetic, not sluggish, and not depressed, and although it likes to sleep most of the time, it wakes up full of energy.
2. Eyes.
Healthy pet cats have bright, clear eyes. No foreign bodies in the corners of the eyes, no redness, and tears. Of course, there are no other inflammatory diseases of the eye.
3. Look at the feces.
Cat feces can provide direct feedback on the cat's health. A healthy cat's stool is brown or dark yellow, banana-shaped, and neither soft nor hard.
4. Look at the hair.
Healthy cats have smooth, shiny hair without baldness or heavy shedding.
If your cat is shedding a lot and it's thick and dark, it's a sign of a health problem, either not being dewormed or malnourished.
5. Look at the nose.
A healthy cat's nose is somewhat moist and cool. But if your cat has a dry nose and a fever, it means your cat may be sick.
It is also unhealthy to have a runny nose or other discharge.
6. Mouth.
Oral health is also an important criterion for judging the health of kittens. Healthy cats have solid white teeth, pink gums, tongue, and palate, and no tartar, tartar, or bad breath.
Many pet owners are overwhelmed and don't know what to do when their cat is sick, but in reality, these risks can be well avoided if we just pay more attention to our lives.
1. Diet.
Diet has always been one of the main reasons cats get sick. Preventing cats from getting sick starts with diet. To keep food clean and fresh, clean your cat's bowl regularly, and don't give your cat spoiled or expired food.
2. Disinfect cat food bowls, bedpans, and litter frequently to kill pathogenic bacteria.
3. Try not to let cats come into contact with insects such as dead flies and cockroaches to reduce pollution sources.
4. Regularly ask a veterinarian to check the cat's body. If you find signs of disease, you can deal with it in time to prevent serious illness.
5. Hygiene of cats.
Although cats are also very clean animals, they will lick their fur frequently to cleanse their bodies. However, the cat's own cleaning is limited after all, and pet owners should also bathe the cat regularly in life.
If possible, it's best to stick to brushing your cat's teeth once a day.
If you love cats, you must take care of everything!
