When your Cat is stung by a
Bee or Wasp

They are in the habit of being around the mouth or in the legs. The cat rubs with the leg or licks the place of the sting. If the mouth or the throat swells up, telephone the veterinarian immediately.

Wasp sting: The wasps retire their sting and fly away. The sting is alkaline for what it is necessary to wash the zone with a diluted acid, as the vinegar.

Bee sting: The stinger of the bee remains in the sting. Remove it with a tweezers. The sting is acid: it is necessary to wash it with something alkaline, as sodium bicarbonate

Sunstroke or heat blow
The sunstroke comes quickly in the cats and it is in the habit of being fatal in a few minutes. The first symptoms are a rapid and tiring breathing. The cat feels anguish, throws foam, pants want to breathe and collapses..Do not leave a cat enclosed in a car or in a small place- as a greenhouse- in a sunny day and without ventilation.

1. Take the cat from the hot.
2. Bathe him in cold or warm water, until he stops panting: this operation must last approximately 5 minutes.
3. Give him water to drink.
4. If the cat does not recover immediately, take him quickly to the most nearby veterinarian.

Accidental cat poisoning
It can happen sometimes if the cat eats a toxic substance, as rat-poison or fodder for the slugs. The poisonous plants are a potential danger. There are poisonous substances that they can inhale or absorb across the skin. The most frequent symptoms of poisoning are salivation and foam, violent and sudden vomits, loss of the coordination and convulsions.

• Telephone immediately to your animal emergency center and tell the veterinarian what the cat has eaten or the substance to the sheltered and calm cat.
• Not provoke the vomit until the veterinarian tells it. Do what he indicates.
• If there is antidote, take the cat immediately to the emergency center for his treatment.
