Cat emergencies

Muscle spasms, loss of consciousness follow one another, at this point, it is necessary to intervene: first of all, move the cat to a cool and shaded area, bathe the animal abundantly with cold water, to help thermoregulation and move the air with a fan or whatever air does.

it must be ensured that cats do not get hurt during a crisis

seizures

Whatever nature they are, you must immediately make sure that the cat does not get hurt, so protect it with pillows and blankets, do not try to contain it or open its mouth, it could react without realizing it. Wait for the seizure to end then take him to the vet

If a drowning phenomenon occurs, lift the cat's back letting the water flow down and cover the victim with a blanket. Therefore, take the animal immediately to the vet to ensure that it is given oxygen.

wounds and haemorrhages

  • Trim the fur around the affected area, being careful not to injure it further

  • disinfect with a non-alcoholic disinfectant and cover, if possible, with gauze

  • if there is a bleeding in progress, try to calm the cat to avoid further blood loss, use containment bandages, but be careful not to block the blood flow
