Cats are born adventurers and are very prone to injury in daily life, not to mention that they are in estrus, because they are jealous and fighting, and they are even scarred. When you see your cat covered in scars, pet owners always feel distressed. It is necessary to keep some exclusive medicines and learn to deal with these trauma.
1. Three common trauma factors for cats
1. Conflict during estrus
The estrus is jealous and fights. During estrus, many cats, especially male cats, become more irritable, and they are prone to conflict with other cats.
2. Cats scramble for food

College fights and fights are likely to occur when cats who often go out, so be careful about cats who are used to hanging out frequently.
3. Accidental stabbing and scratching
Some cats are easily stabbed or scratched by some sharp things such as iron wires during their trip. Especially cats like to climb high and low, and drill into sparsely populated corners, where some fragments are prone to occur.
2. Emergency methods for trauma for pet cats
1. Cut and bite each other and get injured
When a cat fights or comes back from outside, it is necessary to check whether there is any wound. When a bite is found, it must be disinfected first, and then undergo treatment from a veterinarian to ensure the health and safety of the cat.
2. The cat is burned by fire
(1) If there is some burn on the feet, wrap the cat with a towel first, and quickly cool the affected area with running water.
(2) If the head is burned, first use ice to compress coldly, then wrap the affected area with a bandage, and then use ice to compress coldly from the bandage and immediately send it to the hospital.
(3) When the whole body is burned, you need to quickly soak the whole body in water, then wrap it in a cold and wet towel, and feed the lotion diluted with water to prevent dehydration.
You must never apply ointment immediately, but you must first cool the affected area with running water.
3. Bone damage and fracture
(1) If the fracture is not allowed to walk or drag the foot, do not touch the affected area casually to avoid damage to the nerves or blood vessels.
(2) If the wound is on the back, you can lie on the side of the wooden board and then fix it with a rope.
(3) If there is deformation or trauma or protruding bones, place a towel under the fracture site, and then hold it carefully to the hospital for emergency treatment.
When fracture, pay attention to fixing the affected area and do not pull it at will.
4. Falling and falling and drowning
If a cat drowns under the expected circumstances, you can grab the hind feet with both hands and hang them upside down for ten to twenty seconds, and then swing up and down three to four times to let the water entering the lungs be spit out; when breathing is weak, artificial respiration can be performed.
Because cats have slender hair and little oiliness, they cannot remove moisture and are most afraid of getting wet.
5. In an accident, the trauma can be detected simply. If the blood flow continues, you can find the location of the bleeding first, and then cut off the hair around the wound. If there are foreign objects or glass fragments, you must remove them first, and do a simple bleeding first, and send them to the medical treatment immediately.
Sometimes cats do not appear to have any trauma, but there are also symptoms such as hematuria or vomiting after one or two days.
6. Diet: Fish bones spur throat
You should use the left thumb and index finger to hold the back of the canine teeth to open the mouth, pull out the tongue, and use a flashlight to illuminate the inside of the throat. Then carefully remove the foreign object with round tweezers at the front. If you feel difficult or not, don't force it, it is better to send it to the hospital in an emergency.
If you find that the cat suddenly stops dining, or wipes the mouth with your forefoot or drains out of water to make a painful situation.
7. Foreign objects fall into the eyes
Once a foreign object enters the eyes, the cat will constantly rub the blood-filled and teary eyes. The best way is to send it to the hospital immediately, and it is more appropriate to be dealt with by a veterinarian in an emergency. To prevent the cat from rubbing his eyes continuously, wrap the cat's front feet with a bandage.
Use human eye drops to help cats wash foreign objects, which will worsen the condition.

3. Apply medicines for external use
