Chapter 153: Cleaning and feeding of the kittens
After the question of the little milk cat sticky was answered, the netizens in the live broadcast room also had a lot of questions about how to feed the little milk cat.
"Feifei anchor, I just picked up a litter of kittens yesterday afternoon, which is very small, and I only opened one of my eyes. I brought it back and cleaned it up, cleaned the fleas on my body, fed it with a syringe, soaked it in milk powder, and fed it twice, the first time was about three milliliters, and I fed a little more than one milliliter after more than two hours. Now they are looking for a pacifier in my hand to suck, is it the reason why they are not fed? But I feel that they have a bulging stomach and dare not feed more. Is it going to be cold in this weather? How do you spend the night? I'm afraid it's going to die
The kitten is now no longer milking, it is getting weaker, is it sick or what? I don't have a pet hospital near my house, what should I do?"
"The belly is bulging, just to~, our company just picked up the kitten back also, fed for two days, the belly bulging, my colleague said that he must die, not, and then they studied it, and said that the female cat will give the kitten ***, so that the kitten will, and the two big strong men grabbed the cat and held a cotton swab to the kitten** Oh, oh mom, it all of a sudden, pulled a lot, and then it was fine, every day, and it slowly got better, and bought cat litter and cat gadgets, and by the way, I borrowed a kitten from someone to teach it how to use cat litter, and it turned out to be well-behaved quickly, in our company, particularly cute, ~~, at that time, the canteen had fish soup to bring it a little, bibimbap to eat~, the kitten ate happily~~"
……
In the face of the questions raised by netizens, Li Fei gave some answers, "For the little milk cat that has just been picked up, if there are lice, it is best to catch what can be caught only with your hands, and make sure to pinch it completely, otherwise it will be difficult for the lice to die." It's best not to take a bath – especially in winter! The cat is too small to catch a cold and die if it doesn't take a good bath! Only bathe when you see that it is particularly tenacious and its vital signs are particularly active. ”
"Then there's ringworm, and if some of the kittens in a litter have ringworm, they have to be isolated. Generally, it is to check whether the hair on the body is uneven, and touch it in the direction of hair growth to see if the skin feels rough. If there is, it may be feline ringworm! Be sure to isolate it, otherwise it is very easy to infect!"
"Then there's cat plague. It doesn't matter how much money you spend in a pet hospital. This is mainly to look at the signs of life. If possible, it is best to take the cat to the pet hospital for a comprehensive examination. If you don't have the conditions, take a look at it yourself. If there is a milk cat that refuses to feed at all, is very thin, and is completely unwilling to move, as if it is about to lose its life, then it is possible, pay attention to it, it is only possible, it has cat plague. If you can't go to the hospital for examination, I recommend that such a suspected patient be fed in isolation. Otherwise, once infected, all litters will be gone. ”
Li Fei let the little milk cat sleep quietly on his lap, and told the netizens in the live broadcast room that if the kitten is picked up on the road, what to do with it so as not to let the cat die. Netizens listened very attentively, even if it was the usual heated discussion, there were many less.
"After the body of the kitten is cleaned, the following measures should be taken to keep warm, in fact, you should do a good job of keeping warm before the inspection, especially in autumn and winter. Even if it's not cold, the milk cat can't withstand it at all if it doesn't have the body temperature of the cat's mother. The warm tools that can be taken are: sun lamps, warm water bags, warm babies, etc. ”
"If it's not the hot season, it's important to judge the cat's body temperature by touch to determine if it needs to be warmed. If the kitten is not cold, it will be warm, and you will know it when you hold it in your hand. If you don't feel that way, you're going to have to warm them. ”
Li Fei's answer is very professional, and some netizens who have raised small milk cats have learned a lot from his answer.
"In winter, don't even think about it, you need to keep heating 24 hours a day. Some cat friends don't understand at the beginning, and use a heater to warm the kitten, sometimes turn it on for a while, sometimes turn it off. As a result, it was turned off one night, and it just cooled down that night, and the consequences were terrible. ”
"So remember that keeping warm is something you have to do at all times. If you are negligent, just a few hours of low temperature is enough to take the life of a kitten!"
"The biggest difficulty in keeping warm is the quarantined milk cat. In addition to ringworm and feline plague, there are many reasons why you would have to separate one or two milk cats from their siblings. This is when keeping warm becomes a big problem. Originally, their brothers and sisters hugged together to keep warm, and the temperature could be maintained. But as long as it is isolated, it is difficult for a lone milk cat to keep warm. In my experience, it is only possible to isolate it with a cardboard box and then continuously illuminate it with a sunlamp. ”
Li Fei's explanation made many cat slaves and dog slaves learn a lot of professional knowledge, netizens liked his professional answers very much, and many people also expressed their own opinions.
"Feifei anchor, your explanation is too comprehensive, I want to ask how the little milk cats feed and poop? After all, they are still too young, they shouldn't be independent on their own, right?"
"Yes, Feifei anchor, may I ask the little milk, how does the cat feed him? I always feel that the little life seems to be passing away in a short time, the last time I saw a little milk cat on the side of the road, because I didn't dare to take care of it, so I didn't take it home, now I think about it, I really regret it, crawling alone on the road, no brothers and sisters, the little guy must be very sad, right?"
……
Faced with the questions thrown by netizens, Li Fei thought for a while and answered, "When I just took the milk cat home, if there was no milk bottle, you could use a syringe or eye drop bottle to modify it into a milk bottle." I haven't used an eye drop bottle, but it's a good idea. In the case of syringes, a rubber tube for bicycle valves is generally added to the syringe, so that the milk cat will not bite the hard syringe. ”
"Note that cats' bottles are the size of a pacifier. Newborn cats need small pacifiers, and if they have large pacifiers, they will not be able to bite, so they will become reluctant to breastfeed. Generally speaking, it is better to buy small pacifiers. Small cats can't bite big pacifiers, but big cats can bite small pacifiers. ”
"Then there's the milk powder. I've met some friends who make egg drop soup for their cats...... Porridge ...... Of course they all failed. Feeding is also particular, and the milk powder that humans drink cannot be given to cats. There are a lot of alternatives online, but none of them have been tried. I fed the cat milk directly because I felt that the cost of trial and error was too high. If it's wrong, it's a few little lives!"
