Cat has persistent inflammation

Inflammation is a manifestation of disease. If a cat has persistent inflammation, it may be due to some diseases that keep the cat in a state of infection, such as feline infectious peritonitis, feline immune-mediated stomatitis, some tumor-related diseases such as mast cell tumors, and mesenteric lymphoma. It is recommended to undergo a comprehensive physical examination of the cat, diagnose the cause of the disease in time, and treat it.

Inflammation manifestations

Inflammation is a process of injury and anti-injury, which is a kind of self-defense ability of the body. If it is local inflammation, it usually presents with redness, swelling, heat, pain, and functional impairment. If it is a systemic inflammatory response, it generally shows high fever, mental depression, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, it can lead to degeneration, necrosis, and functional impairment of important internal organs, resulting in death.

Inflammatory drugs

Most veterinary anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for cats, and some human drugs can also be used for cats. However, according to Chinese law, human drugs cannot be used for animals, so it is best not to give cats human drugs. Antibiotics such as ampicillin and amoxicillin can be used for cat inflammation. Cephalosporins such as ceftiofur, cefixime, and ceftazidime can act on Gram-positive bacteria. Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside, has relatively high ototoxicity in cats and should be used with caution.

Inflammation regulation methods

Owners need to choose appropriate treatment methods based on the severity of their condition. If the condition is mild, it can be treated with oral or injectable antibiotics. If the condition is more severe, intravenous therapy is preferred. Owners need to provide cats with sufficient nutrients to improve their resistance. Owners should also disinfect their living environment to prevent cats from being invaded by harmful microorganisms or stimulated by external factors, resulting in inflammation.
