Taking your Cats Pulse

It is possible to try to feel the pulse of cat in the interior part of the thigh, in the back leg. Must be firm and strong. Doing this is not easy if it is not used to it, but it can be tried, since it is painless and fast.

Burns
Most burns ensue from the contact with water and other warm liquids, chemical products, or from biting electrical cables.

Burns qualify in the following categories:

• Superficial: it is the one that affects the skin. The injury can be painful and will present inflammation and burnt skin, besides they can develop blisters. Don't get alarm, if the burn is attended well, the recovery can be quickly. To attend burns, apply immediately tepid water and honey over the infected area. Cover it with gauze so flies don't touch it and get infected. Special ointments for burns can be applied.
• Partial depth: the damage is worst than the first one. It is more painful for what we recommend you cut the hair as much as possible. The area will be swollen and you can see an accumulation of subcutaneous liquid followed by the appearance of a dry scab, which must not be taken off, but wait for it to fall off.
• The healing will be slow and a scar can stay, for what you must take it to the veterinarian to choose the best treatment.
• Total depth: this one destroys the skin. The injury does not hurt, hair falls off and the scab can be white. The healing process is slower than the previous one, and in some cases, grafts can be applied. You must take it to the veterinarian
• Deep to total depth: it is the worst of all possible scenes. The burn involves muscle and bones. The scab is black and the tissues are burnt. The only thing that can be done is take it to the veterinarian to choose the best treatment.
