In the minds of many cat owners, deworming is always optional. Cats are not like dogs who always have to contact the outdoor environment. They always go to the grass to roll. Just pay attention to the breeding environment. Skin diseases are far away from us! But is the fact really as simple as everyone thinks? Let’s take a look at the following case! Xiao Zhang, the owner of the black Garfield cat, holds this idea, but the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. Not only did Pipi suffer from skin disease, it was also twice in a row!
At the beginning of the year, a small piece of fungal infection appeared on Pipi's arm. After a period of treatment, it finally improved. However, Comrade Xiao Zhang, who did not believe in evil, still did not keep up with the pace of deworming and immunization. Look, I took a bath for Pipi a few days ago and suddenly I found a large scab on its left forelimb, and some of it was infected with suppuration.
Cats have fatty liver instead of eating. How dangerous is it to cats if fatty liver is not treated in time?
After a detailed examination, Pipi was diagnosed with scabies mite infection, which is a chronic parasitic skin disease caused by scabies mite.
Scabia mite infection usually occurs in dogs. Scabia mite in cats is relatively rare. It is not obvious in the early stage. It is just excessive licking of hair, which will cause dander, scabs, thickening of the skin, and severe itching. Typical lesions are located on the edge of the ear and the elbows of the limbs and can be spread throughout the body in severe cases. In addition, scabies mite is a zoonotic disease, and pets must be isolated after they develop.
Aware of the severity of the disease, Xiao Zhang was also full of regret. The most urgent task was to cure Pipi immediately.
During the treatment days, Xiao Zhang cooperated very well and took Pipi to the hospital twice a day to clean up and change the dressings, regardless of wind and rain. Pipi is also very well-behaved. Although the process of handling the affected area is more painful, it almost never struggles, as if it knows the intentions of the doctor and the owner. After a period of time, the traces left by the skin disease finally faded away. Since then, Xiao Zhang has no longer dared to neglect the deworming matter.
Through this incident of Pipi, I hope everyone understands that parasites may be staring at your hairy children in a corner, so don’t ignore the importance of deworming and immunity!
