As a family companion, cats’ health risks are often overlooked. Scientific care can effectively prevent 80% of common diseases.
**I. Prevention and control plan for common diseases**
1. Ringworm prevention and control: Keep the environmental humidity below 50%, and use hypochlorous acid disinfectant to clean the cat bed every week. When local hair loss is found, wear an Elizabethan collar immediately and use antifungal lotion.
2. Urinary system maintenance: Choose professional cat food with a magnesium content of less than 0.09%, set up more than 3 drinking water points, and use mobile drinking machines to increase water intake by 30%.
3. Parasite prevention and control: Internal deworming once a quarter, and external deworming for outdoor cats every month. Check ear canal secretions regularly and use compound nystatin ear drops to control ear mites.
**II. Vaccine protection system**
The triple vaccine (feline plague/calici/herpes virus) needs to be completed 3 times before 16 weeks of age, and the rabies vaccine is strengthened every year. After vaccination, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 30 minutes and avoid bathing within 2 weeks.
**III. Warning signal recognition**
If you have symptoms such as loss of appetite for 48 hours, vomiting more than 3 times a day, abnormal urination posture, and increased eye and nasal secretions, you need to see a doctor within 12 hours. You should record your weight changes every month. If the fluctuation exceeds 10%, you need to check for health problems.
It is recommended to conduct blood routine and biochemical examinations every six months, and add cardiac ultrasound items for elderly cats. By establishing a health record, 90% of potential diseases can be discovered in advance. Scientific preventive management can reduce the average annual medical expenses of cats by 65%, significantly improving the quality of life of pets.
