Cats are curious creatures and often encounter accidents while exploring. If you accidentally get caught in the door, the cat may be injured. As pet owners, there are a few things we need to do to deal with this situation.
First, stay calm. After a cat is caught in a door, it may be frightened and show pain and discomfort. We need to stabilize the cat's mood and not let them feel further upset. Gentle sounds and strokes can help them relax.
Observe the injury. The cat's injuries need to be carefully inspected to see if there are symptoms such as swelling, bleeding, ** breakage or fracture in the pinched area. If significant bleeding is noticed, it can be stopped by pressing with a clean gauze or tissue to avoid excessive blood loss.
If the cat's injuries are more serious, such as significant fractures or severe bleeding, you should seek help from a veterinarian as soon as possible. While waiting for the veterinarian to arrive, you can continue to stay calm, press the wound with gauze, and try not to move the cat to avoid causing more damage.
If the cat's injuries are minor, they can be treated at home. The wound can be cleaned with warm water or saline first, taking care not to use harsh drugs such as alcohol or iodine. Then apply the pet anti-inflammatory ointment to the wound and gently bandage it, keeping the wound dry and clean.
During the process, the cat needs to be given proper care and attention. They can be placed in a quiet, warm place with adequate food and water. At the same time, pay attention to the cat's condition, if there are any abnormal symptoms, such as high fever, wound suppuration, etc., you should seek medical attention in time.
In conclusion, if the cat is caught in the door, it is necessary to take steps to deal with the injury as soon as possible. Minor injuries can be treated at home, but care should be taken to keep the wound clean and dry. If the injury is severe or if you have unusual symptoms, you should seek help from a veterinarian promptly. At the same time, it is necessary to stay calm and pay attention to the cat's emotions and needs.
