Although I raise a cat, I wish I could hold it in my palm, dote on my arms, and touch my head every day, but we need to protect our cats from diseases. Here are four diseases that cats may be infected with:

① Cat moss

② Toxoplasma gondii

③ Rabies

④ Cat scrambling heat

The above four are the four most common diseases that cats are infected with. However, don’t panic first. After reading the following article first, you will know that in general, there is no need to worry, and there is no need to treat cats as a big enemy.

Female moss

Female moss is a common skin disease in cats. It is usually caused by fungi such as Microsporidium Canis, Malassezia and Trichophyton, but the most common one is Microsporidium Canis.

Micosporidium canis is a more common conditional pathogenic bacteria in pet clinical practice. It can exist in animals for a long time without causing disease (especially in cats and dogs). Once the cat's resistance is reduced, it is very easy to cause cat moss. Moreover, Microsporidium can infect people. Once infected, it will cause damage to the skin or hair, endangering human health.

There are many reasons for cats to suffer from cat moss:

①The environment is unclean, with a large number of fungi

②The environment is warm and humid, and fungi are prone to breeding

③Twined directly with other animals or objects carrying pathogens

④Indirect contact with pathogens, the transmission vector can be people and objects (that is, you touched the animal carrying pathogens without washing your hands, and then touched the master)

⑤ Cats are too young or too old to have low immunity, for example, milk cats are more likely to get cat moss

⑥Immunity caused by cat stress

⑦Immunity caused by cat nutritional deficiency

⑧ Cats lack nutrients, such as skin resistance caused by essential fatty acids and vitamins

⑨ Immunodeficient disease of cats - Cat AIDS (FIV), research shows that this will make cats infected with cat moss three times more likely than healthy cats)

⑩ The wounds caused by cat fights are also easily the origin of cat moss, but there is no need to worry, because, compared with other diseases, cat moss is actually easy to deal with:

First, treat cats

Second, pay attention to hygiene, disinfect and prevent specific practices, you can reply in the background: cat moss, check the most complete cat moss prevention and treatment manual

Toxoplasma gondii, toxoplasma gondii, is an infection of humans and animals caused by a kind of toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasma gondii belongs to the smallest and simple structure of parasites called protozoa.

Cats and other felines are the final hosts of Toxoplasma gondii. They parasitize in the small intestinal epithelial cells of these animals, forming cyst zygotes excreted with feces, and other mammals and birds eat them and become cysts, which develop into cysts in their bodies.

The impact of toxoplasma on humans actually depends on human immunity. People with strong immunity will experience short-term discomfort after the first infection, such as fever, muscle pain, sore throat, etc.

However, for people with low immunity, such as fetus, newborns, elderly people, or people with immune system diseases, the situation is more serious. There are usually central nervous system diseases, but there may be retinal choroiditis, pneumonia, or other systemic diseases.

The most serious thing is that pregnant women who are first infected with Toxoplasma gondii will lead to congenital malformations, intellectual delays, and even death in the fetus.

doesn't sound scary, but don't be afraid!

Although cats are the terminal hosts of Toxoplasma gondii, the probability of cats transmitting Toxoplasma to you is much lower than that you eat unclean food yourself: such as uncooked meat (pigs, horses, cows, sheep, fish), drinking unclean water, and even being caused by certain blood-sucking insects, they can also be infected when biting.

Conditions required to infect Toxoplasma gondii in cats:

① Cats can only be infected with Toxoplasma gondii by eating raw meat and drinking raw water.

② After confirming that the cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii for the first two weeks of infection, the cat's feces will have the cyst zygote in the cat's feces within the first two weeks of infection (the feces are discharged from the cyst zygote after the cat's infection is not long, only 10-20 days.)

Then do not dispose of the feces that have just been pulled within these two weeks, but keep it for good cultivation. Wait for about 1-2 days or more to allow the cyst zygote in the feces to mature and be contagious. At this time, you have to touch your poop with your hands, then don't wash your hands and get something to eat, so that you may get infected with Toxoplasma.

In case a cat is really infected with Toxoplasma gondii, commonly used to treat Toxoplasma gondii, clindamycin, sulfonamide, azithromycin, pyrimidine, trimethoprim and triazine compounds, fluconazole and fluconazole combination regimen, etc., and follow the doctor's advice to take the drugs.

Whether it is a human or a cat, the most important way to infect Toxoplasma gondii is foodborne infection, and the disease comes from the mouth. The second is environmental infection. Therefore, the prevention method: as long as you don’t eat raw meat, drink raw water, do not raise cats freely, shovel poop, hygiene, disinfect, and wash your hands frequently, nothing is wrong.

Rabies

Rabies, everyone should be familiar with it. Rabies is an acute infectious disease caused by rabies virus, and is zoonotic. It is more common in carnivorous animals such as dogs, wolves, and cats. People are mostly infected by bites by sick animals.

If a cat is given a normal rabies vaccine, it will generally not be infected with rabies.

If the cat has not been given rabies vaccine, if the cat is kept indoors and has no chance to come into contact with sick dogs, sick mice, etc., it will basically not be infected with rabies virus, so everyone doesn’t have to panic.

If you are scratched or bitten by a wild cat, you must treat the wound urgently. You should immediately rinse the wound with 20% soapy water repeatedly. If the wound is deep, you should use a catheter to continuously inject and clean it with soapy water, striving to remove the cat's saliva and squeeze out the dirty blood.

Generally, no suture and bandage wounds are sutured and antibacterial drugs are used if necessary. When wounds are deep, tetanus should be used to fight poison..

At the same time, go to the hospital for rabies vaccination within 24 hours.

Cat Scratch fever

Cat Scratch fever is a disease that is almost unknown. Cat scratch disease is an infectious disease caused by Hansebal's whole body being scratched and bittened by cats. The clinical manifestations are changeable, but the main characteristics are local skin lesions and lymph node enlargement in the drainage area, and the course of the disease is self-limiting.

Hansaibatong is a kind of aerobic bacteria with severe nutritional conditions that grow slowly in the culture medium. Hansaiba is found in the oropharynx of cats, and fleas are the media of cats’ communication. People are transferred to the human body through cat scratches, bites or close contact between people and cats, causing human infection.

But it is not actually a serious matter to get cat scrambled fever, because 90% of cats can heal themselves even without medication.

How do we humans prevent cats from being infected with heat from scratching? It is also quite simple:

① It is best to keep cats indoors, go out less, and reduce the chance of getting in contact with parasites.

② Deworming regularly

③ If the cat is aggressive, reduce contact

④ If it is caught or bitten, immediately rinse the wound with warm water or hydrogen peroxide and pay attention to disinfection.

After reading the four diseases mentioned above, have you discovered that as long as you take good care of your cat, the cat will not get sick at all, let alone spread it to people! So it all depends on people. Don’t let the cat take the blame for human affairs, don’t always use “” cats toxins gondii, rabies, etc. toxoplasma, etc. to abandon the cat! I can accept finding a new owner for the cat, but I cannot accept sweeping the cat out of the house and leaving it homeless.
