As the saying goes, "A cat has nine lives." In fact, it mainly wants to express that cats have strong vitality. Even if they fall from a high place, they often will not cause injuries. But is this really the case in reality? How should we judge the seriousness of the cat's fall? How to determine if there is any internal injury after a cat falls? Let’s see how to judge whether there is anything wrong after the cat falls.
1. Observe the cat's walking posture
If the cat's walking posture is normal after falling and dares to walk hard on all four legs, it means there is no problem with the limbs. But if you cannot walk normally, become limp or even unable to stand up, it may be a fracture or a spinal problem. You need to go to the pet hospital for an X-ray to check if there are any fractures or fractures in the limbs.
2. Observe the mental and appetite of the cat
If the cat experiences symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, and rapid breathing after falling, it means that the cat may have suffered serious internal injuries. At this time, it is recommended that the owner find a carton to put the cat in it, or hold it flat in his schoolbag, and take it to the pet hospital for emergency treatment.
3. Observe whether the cat has bleeding?
If you find that the cat has bleeding in its nasal cavity or mouth after it falls, it is very serious at this time, indicating that its lungs may have bleeding. At this time, you must be sent to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. If there is a large amount of lung bleeding, it will be difficult to save it.
In short, the anti-theft doors and windows at home should be closed properly, and it is better to avoid cats falling from too high places.
