Coronavirus is one of the most dangerous and unexplored viruses in cats, which causes a rather serious disease: infectious peritonitis. Even young cats can die from this, with signs of dropsy. But despite the fact that the coronavirus was discovered several decades ago, it still raises more questions than answers. And the main one, naturally, is how to treat the injured animal.
It is necessary
- - immunomodulators and stimulants;
- - antihelminthic drugs;
- - sorbents;
- - natural food (raw meat);
- - thermometer;
- - disinfectants for treating cat plates;
- - blood test;
- - diuretics.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to carefully analyze the symptoms that the cat has. The coronavirus is characterized by unstable stools, which does not depend in any way on a change in feed, poisoning or other factors. In addition, mucus and blood in the animal's feces should be alerted. The cat also becomes lethargic, drowsy, has poor appetite and vomiting. If you know how to measure the temperature of the animal, you can see that the cat is experiencing temperature jumps. But at the same time, she will not show any concern. After being infected with the coronavirus, a cat may lose coordination, hide from light, and exhibit other neurological disorders. And one of the characteristic signs is an increase in the abdomen against the background of the general weight loss of the animal. This happens due to the release of fluid into the peritoneum.
Step 2
The doctor will be able to make an accurate diagnosis on the basis of a manual examination and test data. As a rule, to clarify the diagnosis, blood biochemistry is prescribed, according to which it becomes clear that the animal has problems with the kidneys and liver, as well as an increased number of lymphocytes and a number of other indicators.
Step 3
It is imperative to treat coronavirus. True, it should be borne in mind that many doctors are sure that it is impossible to recover from this infection. But at the same time, you can try to remove the virus from the animal's body and hope that the treatment will help. First of all, you need to give the cat immunostimulants and modulators. This is necessary so that the animal's body can effectively fight the infection and defeat it.
Step 4
To remove fluid from the abdominal cavity, diuretics are used, which can significantly alleviate the condition of the animal and reduce the manifestation of coronavirus.
Step 5
If you have more than one cat in your house, be sure to separate them. Firstly, cats carrying viruses are contagious enough. Secondly, if several cats get sick at once, the virus is excreted in each of them differently. And so that they do not infect each other in a circle, they need to be isolated.
Step 6
In the course of treatment, it is necessary to disinfect all cat items - plates, sippy cups, toys, etc. This must be done to avoid re-infection.
Step 7
A cat with a coronavirus must be transferred to natural food. Despite the fact that industrial feed is considered more balanced, it has been proven that the coronavirus when fed on canned food and crackers leaves the animal's body poorly. Feeding with raw meat is especially effective in treatment.
Step 8
During treatment, it is necessary to carry out antihelminthic therapy. After all, the more toxins in the body, the worse the treatment goes. It is also necessary to take sorbents if the condition worsens.
