Can subcutaneous emphysema cats heal on their own? Comprehensive analysis of postoperative recovery and coping strategies.
Recently, a fan asked if his cat's subcutaneous emphysema after bladder surgery could heal on its own. Through in-depth communication and analysis, we learned that the respiratory anesthesia and surgical process experienced by cats may lead to subcutaneous emphysema caused by damage to the trachea. This problem has raised concerns about the postoperative care of cats, the causes of subcutaneous emphysema and the treatment methods.
Emphysema is not an inevitable complication of surgery, but if the endotracheal intubation is not done properly when the cat is under respiratory anesthesia, it may lead to a tear of the trachea, which in turn can cause subcutaneous emphysema. Especially for cats who have just undergone bladder surgery, the occurrence of emphysema needs to exclude the impact of the operation itself and focus on the operation details of the anesthesia link.
Subcutaneous emphysema occurs in multiple parts of the cat's body, such as the head, chin, and back, suggesting a more severe tracheal injury. Emphysema that is not detected until a few days after surgery needs to be evaluated in conjunction with the size of the emphysema. Extensive subcutaneous emphysema means that there may be a large degree of tracheal tear and medical help should be sought as soon as possible.
The answer to the question of whether subcutaneous emphysema heals on its own depends on the extent of the tracheal tear. In mild cases where the tear is detected early, proper compression with an elastic bandage may help with gas absorption and promote healing. However, large or persistent emphysema does not heal on its own, and surgical sutures must be performed to repair the damaged trachea.
In the face of a large area of subcutaneous emphysema in the cat, it is recommended that the owner immediately send the cat back to the surgical hospital for professional treatment. At the same time, although the cat may appear relatively calm, in fact, the swelling pain caused by subcutaneous emphysema is intense, and may affect the function of organs in the chest cavity, such as causing shortness of breath or even difficulty.
During the cat's acceptance, reduce external stimuli, keep the environment quiet, and avoid stress reactions. In addition, closely observe the cat's respiratory status, mental status and pain response, timely feedback to the veterinarian and follow the doctor's instructions for meticulous care.
