01
Vomiting
Judge vomiting.
Generally common vomit are divided into the following types and will be mixed: white foam stomach acid, white water stomach acid, yellow water stomach acid, finger-like hair balls, yellow-green bile, yellow-brown bile, mud-like food, undigested food, foreign matter.
After adding the vomiting debuff, the cat will try to spit out everything in its belly for a period of time, that is, the kitten will vomit four or five times within an hour, and the statistics are once at this moment.
If you vomit multiple times in a day, you will vomit after taking it and cannot be suppressed, go to the hospital.
Severe vomiting cannot be suppressed in one day. It is necessary to continue to use inhibitory drugs and find the cause of vomiting.
In addition to foreign bodies, regardless of the cause, directly treat the vomit. Wait for half an hour to an hour. After the cat vomits completely, use elm peel powder (smotiligo balls) and omeprazole (0.7 mg per kilogram of body weight, twice a day)/famotidine (2.5 mg, twice a day)/daxi (250 mg per kilogram of body weight, twice a day) (choose one of three);
Ormeprazole/famotidine and serenin (1-2 mg per kilogram of body weight, once a day);
Merzapine can help inhibit vomiting while food stimulation. When the cat loses appetite and the drugs used do not conflict, use mirtazapine transdermal agent.
Vomiting gastric acid is often too hungry. If you often exude gastric acid in the early morning, you should adjust the frequency of eating.
. If foreign objects are suspected of undigested food (usually mixed with gastric acid) after a few hours, you must go to the hospital for X-rays. If there is foreign objects (including hair), you must not stop vomiting and leave it to the doctor for treatment.
Any medical examination regarding vomiting should be performed on imaging examinations, including x-ray and b-ultrasound, and endoscopy should be performed if necessary.
There are no foreign bodies but undigested or semi-digested food for several hours. Add B-ultrasound to check intestinal dynamics, mechanical obstruction/intestinal dynamics, upper gastrofuan and cisapride (twice a day, 2.5 mg once).
The blood vessels and pink gastric juice were vomited too severely, causing damage to the capillaries, and sucralosa (250mg, twice a day)/gastric ulcer.
If you vomit bright red blood, you will often have foreign objects scratches, stomach ulcers, stomach cancer, etc., be sure to go to the hospital.
If you spit out the grass, you will easily induce vomiting after treating the cat grass.
The alternation of hot and cold seasons, stress, food allergies/intolities can easily cause vomiting. If you vomit without seeing foreign objects, you will either be intolerant of the ingredients, or you will be in a hurry or you will be cold. Change food in half an hour and check it out. You need to control it in time and eliminate the cause.
Hair spit is a finger-like hair ball. If a hair spitting ball appears, it should block the hair intake (comb the floating hair off) and daily choline intake (liver and egg) and special large-scale fiber intake (a handful of hair-filled tablets, or 2-to-1 thumb-sized google balls, and mangle fibers can be used for daily intake). If there is no finger-like hair ball in the vomit, then the cause of vomiting should be checked instead of gnawing grass. If there is no protruding hairball and no hair obstruction is seen in medical examination, vomiting is not vomiting hairballs.
. If Sarining tablets are not easy to use, they will be changed to injections. If other tablets are fed, they will be changed to injections. If there is no injection, they will be ground into powder and poured into water.
Everyone who eats cooked food during vomiting will be tangled into a paste/liquid food, and continuous eating must be ensured.
.Vomiting and mental depression are common with acute gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, hepatitis, fic, etc. When a cat becomes mentally depressed and has no appetite, it should go to the hospital. It is not recommended to hesitate.
02
Diarrhea
1. If there is no blood, you will suddenly see ordinary soft or loose stools. First, use a large dose of Brady yeast according to the instructions (two to three a day, Brady's side effect is constipation, so the dosage is not a big problem). The effect will be improved and the health care dosage will take one week. If the effect is not good, change to glutamine (500 mg per kilogram of body weight, and there are also effective cases to cut half) for one week.
The effect is not good and change to metronidazole (10 mg per kilogram of body weight) for one week. If it is still not good, turn to chronic diarrhea.
2. There are many causes of chronic diarrhea. Only the treatment method is mentioned. Long-term diarrhea requires a long-term war of resistance. Telectin (98%, 30mg per kilogram of body weight per day) for six weeks, vb12 (250 micrograms, the injection of blue box) is injected once a week for six weeks.
3. Change food, add a meat and powder to try allergens for two weeks, ps: In many cases, raw food will have miraculous effects, but because the gastrointestinal tract is unstable, the inhibition of bacteria may worsen.
4. Fructose oligosaccharides, prebiotics can serve as auxiliary.
5. Fecal transplantation is effective, but there are risks of gastric cancer and obesity. Consider it yourself - healthy poop is also very difficult to find.
6. Dark green poop may be indigestion, so you need to increase pancreatic enzymes every time, but the premise is that indigestion is really caused by insufficient pancreatic enzymes.
7. New cats or cats who have not done internal and external driving for a long time can do routine internal and external driving. It is very common for parasites to require additional examination. I can check coccidius, PCR for trichomonas, test strips for Giardia, coccidius ronizole, giardia metronidazole and fenbendazole - I can't do anything about the refractory trichomonas.
8. Blood may just be damaged somewhere. When you are normal to consolidate your stool, use sucralfate or alkaline bismuth carbonate tablets. It is best to do a colonoscopy for dark red blood - the somewhat confusing carmine may be a pot with a pot of strength.
9. Drink more water for diarrhea, and fasting therapy should not exceed 20 hours.
10. The causes of diarrhea are complex, and medical examinations are common stool examinations, routine blood, biochemical, x-ray, b-ultrasound, PCR.
03
Cold
Colds are common in seasonal changes. In childhood, when the immune system is weak, the symptoms are common in sneezing, runny nose, and conjunctivitis.
Mixed conjunctivitis often have red and moist eyes, and the eye bores become more common, and the eyes are large and small, and the conjunctiva is red and swollen. Sodium hyaluronic acid (0.1% once in the morning and once in the evening, persist until the eyes recover). In severe cases, pus eye bores will occur. Levofloxacin eye drops and ganciclovir eye drops can be used.
If abnormalities occur in the surface, eye color, and eye shape, you should send to the hospital for examination in time.
Slight sneezing and nasal fluid, normal appetite and spirit, you can consider healing yourself at home, provide nutrition, keep warm, and exercise.
If you cannot heal yourself, and you have increased sneezing and yellow pus, cats over four months old can use doxycycline (10mg per kilogram of body weight, once a day, for two weeks, do not swallow dryly).
Lacteroidene can inhibit cold-related causes. You can try it. If you have lactose intolerant diarrhea, you need to stop it.
Famciclovir can be used for herpes, and interferon is used in cup form (don’t think about it if you can’t buy new drugs). If there is Boscoli, you should be wary of recurrence of the disease.
Antibiotics cannot be inhibited, or if they sneeze and bleeding, you should go to the hospital to check for foreign objects or polyps in the nasal cavity.
If you cough more than five times a month, you should go to the hospital for lung and bronchial examination. If you find that the cat is mentally depressed, breathing poorly, and vomiting, the lungs should be checked on routine examinations to rule out the possibility of white lung or pneumonia.

Spontaneous cystitis
Overall direction: relieve pain, relieve stress, drink water.
2. Examination items: X-ray and b-ultrasound are used to check the condition of the bladder's urine, stones and urethra. If the cat's urine is closed for more than 24 hours, biochemical tests must be added to check the creatinine, urea, nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium value to rule out the possibility of AKI. Urine tests can be performed to check for urinary tract infection.
3. Catheterization: puncture catheterization is mainly used. Use prazosin-like smooth muscle relaxants and gabapentin-like sedatives to try to make the urinary tract unblock. Water pushing method can be considered. However, due to insufficient medical conditions, the doctor may not, and only use the catheter. The catheter needs to be lubricated and cannot be violently inserted. It must be left for three days (the urethra is not a socket, so do not plug and pull it up) [In June 2022, it was found that prazosin may cause a higher rate of obstruction and recurrence, use it with caution]
4. Pain relief
Butorphinol (the most common opioid painkiller), tramadol
non-steroidal painkillers (including meloxicam and beanco) are useless, useless, it is useless. The literature says that the combination has anti-inflammatory effects, but it is basically ignored.
5. Decompression
Completely isolated, quiet, high concentration of Fellivier, zylkene.
Gabapentin for a short period of time when the kidney is still good (10mg per kilogram of body weight three times a day, relieve pain and strengthen calmness, be careful when kidney disease, and have side effects of vomiting) (Please be sure to keep it at home).
Exclusion of cats' sources of fright and stress is a must-do to reduce Fic recurrence
6. Drink water
50ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day, total wet food, quit dry food, infusion, subcutaneous fluid (highly recommended feeding of all wet food)
7. Crystallization/stones
Ammonium phosphate magnesium crystals/stones can use L methionine, 250mg to 500mg per day, and try it if you eat it for no more than three weeks.
Acidic crystals can only drink more water, and acidic stones need surgery, and prescription foods aggravate the formation of acidic stones.
8. Antibiotics
After violent catheterization, antibiotics can be taken to prevent secondary infection. After urinary tract infection, antibiotics need to be used for a long time (the uncatheterized fic is sterile, and no matter what you say, it is sterile!)
9. Health care products
Cranberry concentrate can be seen in some literature to reduce bacterial adhesion, while other health care products are not effective. (Of course, comforting you is useful, you can use it. If you are too anxious, it will also put pressure on the kitten)
05
The body surface
The Wood's lamp is always available. If there is ringworm, there is a half chance that apple green fluorescence will be found. If it is not found, it should be sent to the doctor for examination, dermoscopy and skin sampling. If there is an abnormal mass, please seek medical treatment as soon as possible for testing.
Terbinafine hydrochloride ointment is used for cat ringworm, and itraconazole orally, 10 mg per kilogram of body weight, for three weeks, and it can be slightly healed.
Folliculitis is essentially a bacterial infection. It can be cured by mildly, or it can be used for topical antibiotics. Severe papules are considered for oral antibiotics.
06
Oral
1. Keep brushing your teeth.
2. Dental stones cause gingivitis. For mild cases, you can appropriately chew the chicken neck/quail neck freeze-dried (there is a certain risk of choking and tooth melting, and the risk is lower than general anesthesia). In severe cases, you can only wash your teeth. You need to insist on brushing your teeth after washing your teeth.
3. Redness and swelling of the anterior alveolar mucosa and posterior mucosa are common. If there is a related situation, tooth extraction can be considered (new drugs are also not produced and promoted).
4. If the tooth absorption does not cause pain, it can be ignored if it affects eating. If the pain is severe, please seek help from the doctor to consider removing it.
07
Constipation
We generally say roughly and roughly that when a cat does not poop for three days, or the number of times a week is less than three times, the cat is constipated. However, before this, some situations that parents should not notice are not easy for parents to detect, specifically, the frequency of poop for once a day to once every two days (common for dry food families/dry food families to meat). It is difficult for cats to get on large sizes, obviously more forceful, the time to poop for stool increases, and the poop becomes thicker and harder from pencil poop/small shit balls, etc.
Colonal massage is the most common suggestion I recommend to parents to solve constipation. When the poop accumulates in the colon, if the cat is not too obese, it can actually be found out (in the past, there were some foreign body obstructions in the baby and used horses to kill chickens to squeeze out hhh) physically increase intestinal motivation, and the side effect is probably to suffer from old cat fists.
Increase acetylcholine intake, egg yolks and liver are rich in choline, but this method has mild effect and requires long-term persistence..
Increase fiber intake, which is commonly referred to as pumpkin or squash shell powder (by the way, wheat seedlings, which are usually cat grass, do not have much fiber), add 5% pumpkin to the homemade, or 100g meat 0.5g-1g squash shell powder (requires a lot of drinking water), or a large handful of wool slices (three, four, five, six, seven or eight pieces), you can also use mang fiber. The miraculous products on the market lack competitors, but they are easy to use.
Enough water intake is common to relieve constipation.
The intestine moisturizing of oil can assist in defecation, but the effect is not as significant as fiber.
When all health care methods cannot work, there are two choices of drugs, one is lactulose, 1ml every 4.5kg or 0.5ml per kilogram of body weight, once every 8-12 hours, and the other is polyethylene glycol, 0.5g-1g/day. You must drink water. The above dosage can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The side effect is that it will fail after long use.
enema, solve intestinal obstruction.
surgery, including removal of foreign bodies that cause obstruction and partial colectomy.
. Constipation sometimes does not manifest as a hard cake, and a little bit of thin cake will appear.
. When treating diarrhea, cats often fail to get tired after taking medication for three days. At this time, horse killing chickens and fiber adjustment can also be used.
.Discussions, decreased appetite, stomach pain, etc. may occur during severe constipation (note that differentiate from other diseases that show similar symptoms).
Control weight, obesity can cause many problems.
08
Joint
Cat joint medicine:
1. Chondroitin and msm: The experiments in the literature are not effective, and parents will feel that they have a certain effect. The latter seems to be burdened with the kidneys and can accept the addition of green mussel extract ingredients.
2.psco-524: There are certain effects in the literature, but the pain relief effect is average.
3.UC-II: Joint health products that are not fully popular are more effective than psco-524 in pain relief in literature and parental feedback, but there are also differences in individual cats.
4. Meloxicam/Robecoci: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have pain relief effects and are burdened to the kidneys. Be careful not to share them with hormones and need to follow the doctor's advice.
5. Butorphinol: You can try it if you cannot use/worry about incremental use of non-steroidal drugs, but the effect is short and other opioids are strictly controlled, which is difficult to obtain.
6.Spa/Physical Therapy/Acupuncture: Some cats may experience tolerance, but help improve or maintain vitality.
7. Home reset: reduce excessive vertical drop, increase ramps, stairs, etc. to let the cat go where they want to go, reduce cat litter box with excessive edges, and increase daily combing.
8. None of the above drugs can prevent arthritis and degenerative arthritis. The disease is related to age, genetics and weight. Therefore, it does not need to be used when the disease is not discovered. At the same time, if similar symptoms appear, it is not recommended to suspect that "cats are hitting the cart". Early intervention is acceptable.
