What to do if a cat has a fever? How to reduce fever quickly?
For many cat owners, seeing our pets get sick or have a fever is a very worrying thing. These conditions need to be treated in a timely manner to avoid further aggravation of the condition.
Below are some tips to help you deal with cat fever so that you can relieve cat discomfort as soon as possible.
1. Keep cats hydrated. Hot weather will cause the cat's body to lose moisture. Be careful to keep the cat drinking sufficient water to avoid dehydration. You should check the cat's drinking water regularly. If you find that the cat does not drink water, you can consider adding wet food.
2. Control the cat's body temperature Reduce the indoor temperature so that the cat can feel comfortable. You can use a fan or air conditioner in the house, or you can open the window to increase air circulation. In hot weather, you can use ice packs and towels to put them on your cat. Putting a wet towel on your cat can cool it down quickly. Do not put the cat directly into cold water, as this will cause the cat to over-temperature and cause physical discomfort.
3. Apply cooling drugs or alcohol directly. Applying some low-dose antipyretic drugs or alcohol directly on the soles of the cat's feet can also have a certain cooling effect. But pay attention to the dosage and do not over-use it, otherwise it will cause greater harm to the cat.
4. Environmental Hygiene Cats' environment can also affect their health and body temperature. Keeping cats alive can reduce their infections by bacteria and viruses. Change your cat's bed sheets every day, scrub the floor, clean the cat's toilet regularly, and check their diet, weight and health regularly.
5. Continuous Observation When seeing cats having fever, you should pay close attention to their condition and contact your veterinarian immediately if abnormal symptoms occur. Careful owners should continue to observe the cat's diet, excretion, body temperature, etc., and adjust the cat's life and diet in a timely manner to relieve their discomfort and maintain their health.
Overall, handling cat fever requires close observation of their health and appropriate measures. If the cat's condition worsens or does not relieve it, consult a professional veterinarian immediately. At the same time, developing good cat habits, maintaining adequate drinking water, clean and hygienic and regular check-ups can prevent cats from getting sick and sick.
