How to heal wounds in cats

Not all owners of domestic cats keep their pets locked up in an apartment or home. Often exported animals outside the city, where they walk alone. During these walks, they can be infected, scratched, cut or get many bites from other cats during a showdown.

In case of serious injuries, it is recommended to go immediately with your pet to the veterinary clinic, but in case of minor injuries, you can help the cat alone.

Before starting treatment of the wound, it is necessary to fix the animal, it is desirable that someone helps this owner. If the member is injured, the cat is placed on the back. Basically, they are attached by the skin and firmly connect the legs. For animals that are starting to show aggression or intense fear, wrapping in dense tissue is suitable, the main thing is to leave the affected area close at hand.

Then it is necessary to carry out a thorough inspection of the place of damage. The wound can be both recent and chronic. The first option is characterized by a discharge of blood or anemia. In the second case, inflammatory processes can begin, there may be traces of pus, as well as crusts.

The coat next to the wound is carefully cut, then the skin is treated with petroleum jelly. This action will prevent the wool from entering the wound. If the cuts, scratches are fresh, they are washed with hydrogen peroxide, then any dirt particles are removed with cotton. For the treatment of wounds, antiseptic sprays are used, easy to buy in any veterinary pharmacy or to use medical analogues.

In the event that the blood is excreted by tremors, and at the same time it is bright red in color, an artery is likely to be damaged. To help the animal, a tourniquet is needed, which should be above the injured area, then go to the veterinarian.

Treatment of chronic wounds in which inflammatory processes have already started or pus has appeared is treated with antibiotics. The ointment is applied to a gauze pad, applied to an injured area, and then a bandage is applied. The dressing should be changed daily until the inflammation is over.

A cat that has been injured must not only be treated properly, but also fed. To speed up the regeneration process, the cat is fed at least 5 times a day.
