Cat pulled out a section of intestine
It is necessary to timely replant the protruding intestine to avoid necrosis caused by long-term prolapse. In some cases, surgery may be required, but the risk of surgery for dogs in this situation is higher. If such a situation occurs, the owner must promptly take the cat to the pet hospital for treatment.
Cat umbilical cord leakage
Cat umbilical cord leakage can be divided into two types:
- When the abdominal membrane and skin rupture together, the intestine is exposed to the air. This situation requires timely hospitalization for treatment. Long-term exposure of the intestine to the air can lead to intestinal necrosis and even death.
- When the abdominal membrane ruptures and the skin remains intact, this condition is called an umbilical hernia. Umbilical hernias can be divided into reducible and irreducible hernias. Reducible hernias can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity with fingers, and these cases can be observed continuously as long as the hernia hole does not continue to expand. Irreducible hernias refer to those that cannot be spontaneously returned to the abdominal cavity, and these cases must be handled in the hospital.
Causes of cat umbilical hernia
Congenital umbilical hernias are often related to genetics, such as congenital malformation, incomplete closure, and hormone imbalance. acquired umbilical hernias are more common in car accidents, falls, and mutual bites. Umbilical hernia refers to the disease caused by the abdominal organs and abdominal membrane entering the subcutaneous tissue through the navel. The treatment of umbilical hernia usually involves surgical repair.
What to check for in cat diarrhea
The main examinations include:
- Draw blood to check the routine blood test to see if the diarrhea is caused by gastroenteritis. At the same time, you can also check for dehydration, inflammation, etc.
- Use a colloidal gold test strip to detect if the diarrhea is caused by feline distemper.
- Take a stool sample to see if the diarrhea is caused by internal parasites migrating in the intestine.
