Because cats are cute and clingy, many people like to raise one or two cats at home. However, people who have raised cats know that they are not easy to raise and may have many diseases, such as icteric hepatitis in cats, so we should do our homework in advance to understand how to treat icteric hepatitis in good cats and the symptoms of icteric hepatitis in cats.
For cat icteric hepatitis, the conservative treatment is combined with Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Because both of these have their advantages and disadvantages of treatment, the effect will be better when combined with treatment. For example, Western medicine treatment will have faster effect, but the side effects of Western medicine treatment are relatively large. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment will be slower, but the side effects are weaker, which is more helpful for physical recovery. Below is Pointe's sharing on the treatment of icteric hepatitis in cats.
1. Cats with icteric hepatitis can inject gamma globulin and take oral carramycin to control the reproduction and growth of their intestinal bacteria, and use antiviral drugs, immunomodulators, and microcirculation drugs.
2. Adjust the diet of the affected cat. The cat's diet must be balanced. Replenish more foods rich in energy, vitamins and high in protein for the affected cat. The cat's food must be liquid, in order to facilitate cats to eat and reduce the influence of the liver. Most cats with hepatitis will have symptoms of anorexia, but cats must eat at this time. The cat's body needs to replenish a lot of energy, so even if it is forced to feed, the owner needs to ensure that the cat eats. It is best to feed the cat by eating less and eating more meals, which is more beneficial to the cat's absorption.
3. In order to promote the balance of cat blood sugar and electrolytes, cats need to be supplemented with sugar-containing electrolyte solutions, vitamin B and vitamin K. As for how much sugar is added, it needs to be determined based on the blood sugar level detected by the cat.
4. At this stage of treating cats, the owner needs to be with the affected cat, because the treatment of cat hepatitis depends on three parts of treatment and seven parts of care. The successful treatment of cat hepatitis must be inseparable from the careful care of the owner. If the cat is not around the cat during treatment, the cat will feel abandoned, and its condition will be worse, which may reduce the cat's will to survive and threaten its life.
5. Do not take hepatitis drugs for human use. There is a big difference between cat hepatitis and human hepatitis. Cat hepatitis drugs mainly play a role in cell repair. Using hepatitis drugs for humans will only aggravate the cat's condition.
6. The owner does not need to take the affected cat to get an IV every day.
7. Do not wash the cat's intestines.
