It is simple to calm a lively cat owner. It only takes a pack of dried fish or a piece of meat, and instantly let the cat sit honestly and obediently in front of you, allowing you to caress it casually.
However, if your cat is always alive, like an ADHD cat, suddenly one day, the cat does not eat or drink water, but just lies quietly on the ground, looking "dying". At this time, the owner must not mistakenly think that your cat is too sleepy.
If the cat is abnormally quiet or motionless, the owner should consider: the cat may be sick.
When people have a fever and cold, they often show weakness, don’t want to move, have no strength, and just want to sleep.
For cat owners, if the cat has a fever, their reaction will be obvious.
1. What are the obvious symptoms when a cat has a fever?
1. When a cat has a fever, the most obvious manifestation is "loss of appetite".
When your cat is not sick, your cat can eat a bowl of cat food in one meal; but if the cat has a fever, you pour a bowl of cat food and a bowl of water for the cat in the morning, and after you go home, you will find that the cat has not eaten at all.
When cats have a fever, the first thing that affects the cat's appetite. They will not be interested in eating, feel uncomfortable, and of course they will have no appetite.
2. When cats have a fever, they will become silent and quiet. When cats don't want to move, they are more willing to lie on the cold ground and use the coolness of the ground to relieve the burning feeling when they have a fever.
If you find that the cat is always depressed, unwilling to interact with you, and unwilling to move, but just slumped on the ground, the shoveler should pay attention at this time.
3. Cats' ears are hot and their noses are dry, and they may feel swelling on their bodies
The physical symptoms of cats' fever are manifested as the tip of their noses are not wet and dry; and the cat's ears will become red, swollen and hot; some cats' ears will become stronger after having a fever, and their lymph nodes will appear swollen on certain parts of the body.
2. When a cat has a fever, the cat should not be ignored. It should treat the cat as soon as possible. First, take the cat's body temperature.
The normal body temperature of a cat is generally between 38 and 39 degrees Celsius, and the method to measure the cat's body temperature is generally to place a thermometer at the cat's anus for measurement.
If your cat is very rebellious, it can be placed under the cat's armpits or under the cat's neck, and the owner will help hold it down to prevent the cat from moving.
Then, if you are sure that your cat has a fever, first find a way to cool the cat, and then let the cat drink some water. Even if you don’t eat, you should replenish your water.
Finally, take the cat to the pet hospital and let the cat's body temperature drop to relieve the cat's pain.
After the cat cools down, the shoveler also needs to find a way to lure the cat to eat so that the cat can have enough energy to recover slowly.
