I accidentally saw a news story when I was surfing at home. The general idea was that a woman in Guizhou spent 1,899 yuan to buy a pet cat online. Unexpectedly, the kitten died of illness after three days of getting home. Hospital examinations showed the kitten suffered from three infectious diseases. The woman found the merchant and after-sales service department, but the after-sales service said that the money could not be refunded and explained that the cat could only eat his cat food and could not eat other cat food. This is simply quite funny.
After a rough look, I suddenly understood that this is the "Cat on Week" I saw before! Some shovelers who have heard of or experienced such an experience may also understand it at a glance. When they encounter this situation, they basically concluded that they had bought a "week cat"! What is a "Cat on Week"? Simply put, it means that the cat just bought it and went home to be healthy, but within a few days, it will develop symptoms such as depression, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools, and die in less than a week. Most cats are infected with the fatal infectious disease before they arrive home.
Usually, when a cat is infected with a disease, there will be a disease incubation period. Cats in the disease incubation period will not show any symptoms, and only through the infectious disease test strips in the pet hospital, the disease in the incubation period cannot be detected. Cats infected with infectious diseases usually take 1-2 weeks to get sick. Many bad vendors just took advantage of this time, and they even extended the incubation period of the disease by injecting serum into the cat.
So friends who really want to keep pets, if they don’t want to buy weekday cats, they should first choose regular and professional sellers and avoid greed for small gains. Secondly, you can also choose to adopt instead of purchasing. Some families, pet hospitals, rescue agencies and online platforms can adopt cats. Online shopping is not a particularly reliable way.
When many friends see this, do they wonder if they are finished buying a weekday cat, and they can only let the cat fend for themselves? I thought so before, but in the E-Pet Community, I learned that if a cat who just bought it home has abnormal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, and unfortunately bought a weekday cat, it is recommended that the shoveler use infectious disease test strips for testing first or send it directly to the hospital for examination. Don’t give it up easily. As long as it is timely treatment and cured, the chance is still very high!
In addition, the cat shoveler should also understand some basic knowledge. Combined with the knowledge you have learned and your own experience, the cat who has just arrived home will be weak and is more likely to get sick than usual. If the cat is kept inappropriately, even if the cat is healthy when you buy it, it may become a "week cat" after arriving at home. Some behaviors are absolutely absolutely necessary when cats arrive home:
1. Take a bath
Cats leave their original living environment and see new people and animals, they will be nervous. Excessive stress will affect the normal functions of various organs in the body, especially the immune system. If a cat takes a bath as soon as he arrives home, it may cause the cat to catch a cold and get sick. It should be done after the cat is vaccinated before washing.
2. Deworming
The cats who have just arrived home are weak. If they are immunized and dewormed at this time, it will be a stimulus to them (because immunity and deworming will cause stress responses), which will not only cause the cat's body to lose its immunity, but may also induce diseases.
3. When going out, the cat has not finished the vaccination and must not go out. If you go out, you may be infected with the disease. For the sake of the safety of the cat, it is recommended to get the vaccine before going out.
4. Feed at will
The cat owner loves cats and is afraid that the cats will be hungry. So as soon as the cat arrives home, they bring all the delicious foods in the house, such as fish, milk, ham sausages... to the cats, but the development of the digestive system of the kitten is not perfect, and the change of the environment will affect the normal function of its digestive system. Feeding at will will only increase the burden on its stomach and intestines, causing vomiting, diarrhea and other problems, not to mention whether these things are good for the cats and whether they can be eaten.
