FIP Cat FAQ Injection

Pathogeny

1. When injecting, the medicine is injected into the muscles to cause bulge.

2. The drug is not absorbed.

3.A single injection site leads to chronic inflammation.

4.After injection, the cat scratched or rubbed the injection site excessively, causing local tissue swelling.

5.The depth of injection is very shallow, resulting in skin bulging.

Solution

1.Apply a hot compress 3-6 hours after injection

2.Control the temperature of the injection solution, and it is not appropriate to use too low temperatures.

3.If you find that the swelling time is long, the texture is soft, and there is a feeling of shaking liquid, it may be an inflammatory abscess. You should seek medical examination in time.

4.You can massage gently 12 hours after the injection to promote blood circulation.

5. Change the injection site

5. Pay attention to the depth of injection when injecting, not too deep or too shallow.

7. It is recommended to shave the hair at the injection site for easy injection and care.

Pathogeny

1. There is something wrong with the injection technique.

2. The cat’s struggle caused problems with the injection.

3. The needles used do not match.

Solution

1. After pushing the needle, wait 2 seconds before pulling it out.

2. Clean the injection site with alcohol or clean water in time.

3. Wipe gently, don’t wipe hard.

4. No more than 2 ml of injection in a single part

5. Pay attention to the depth of injection when injecting, not too deep or too shallow.

6. Maintain the skin lifting state for a short time after injection.

7. It is recommended to shave the hair at the injection site for easy injection and care.

Pathogeny

1. GS drugs are acidic substances, which are easy to cause skin damage and burns in cats.

Two. Frequent injections in the same part, the skin has not fully recovered.

3. Leakage after injection, causing skin corrosion.

Four. If the disinfection is not thorough, it will cause bacterial infection.

5. The injection is too shallow, resulting in skin corrosion.

6. Insufficient care after injection

Solution

1. Rinse and disinfect with iodoform or medical hydrogen peroxide, and then use wound healing drugs.

Two. Wear an Elizabethan hoop to prevent cats from scratching

3. After injection, sufficient care should be ensured, such as hot compress and massage.

4. Prevent leakage after injection,

5. Use medical dressing to cover the wound to prevent dust or bacterial infection.

Pathogeny

1. Chronic inflammation caused by injection

2. Acute inflammation caused by injection, resulting tissue fluid exudation

3. The cat’s abdomen is stimulated by cold, causing diarrhea.

4. Cats steal other foods that cause diarrhea.

Solution

1. Feed steamed or boiled pumpkins

2. Give cats laxatives for treatment

3. Take probiotics

4. Change the type of drug and change to needle

5. Create a warm and comfortable rest area for cats

Pathogeny

1.Chronic inflammation caused by injection

2.Inadequate disinfection, causing bacterial infection

3.The inaccurate injection depth leads to tissue damage and the production of purulent secretions.

4.The cat has a low immunity and a relatively low resistance to bacteria, resulting in bacterial infection

5.Allergic reaction. The cat has an allergic reaction to drugs or disinfection products, resulting in infection and suppuration.

6.There are a large number of bacteria and viruses in the living area of cats, contaminating the wounds at the injection site.

7.The cat has a scratching behavior on the wound, causing the wound to be infected

Solution

1.Clean the wound. Gently wipe around the wound with a moist and clean gauze to remove purulent secretions. Rinse with normal saline and disinfect with iodophor.

2.Avoid using irritating disinfectants

3.For larger infected areas, medical dressings should be used to cover them after treatment.

4.Strict disinfection procedures to avoid infection problems in other injection areas

5.Control the injection procedure to prevent problems caused by too deep or too shallow injection depth

6.Wear the Elizabethan collar

7.Disinfect the living area of cats

8.Change the injection area frequently

9.For larger purulent secretions, it is necessary to go to a pet hospital to perform incision and drainage of the abscess.

Pathogeny

1.Improper needle insertion angle. The needle insertion angle is too steep or too horizontal, resulting in peripheral vascular injury

2.The needle selection is inappropriate. A too thick needle increases the damage to the tissue, causing bleeding. A too thin needle leads to needle bending during the injection process and damages the surrounding skin.

3.The injection speed was too fast, resulting in excessive local pressure and causing blood vessel rupture.

4.Abnormal blood coagulation function, abnormal blood coagulation function caused by malnutrition or diseases, such as liver injury, etc.

5.The reduction in platelet count leads to difficulties in blood coagulation

6.Drug stimulation causes tissue damage. The pH value of the injected drug is acidic, which may damage the internal tissues and lead to bleeding.

7.When injecting, the cat struggled, resulting in the skin at the injection site being torn.

8.After the injection, allowing the cat to move too early causes the just-closed blood vessels to rupture and bleed again

9.Abnormal blood coagulation function

Solution

Use a clean cotton ball to press for hemostasis

2.Cold compress to stop bleeding. Use wrapped ice cubes to apply around the bleeding area to constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding. Each time should not exceed 10 minutes.

3.Keep quiet during the injection, fully comfort the cat to prevent it from struggling and moving restlessly due to fright.

4.Observe the injection site of the cat after injection. If the bleeding does not stop or the wound remains red, swollen and painful, seek medical attention in time.

5. Adjust the injection method and pay attention to the needle angle and depth.

6.Choose the appropriate needle

7.Pay attention to the injection speed. Do not be too fast.

8. Pay attention not to inject more than 2ml in one part.

9.After the injection, let the cat rest for a period of time before allowing it to move freely.

Pathogeny

1. Short-term stress caused by stimulation or fright of cats

2.. Injection into the wrong part affects the surrounding tissues and organs. For example, when injected on both sides of the body, the newly injected drug affects the activity range of the cat’s respiratory organs.

3.When injecting, if the nerves and blood vessels are damaged, it may cause discomfort in the cat’s body, resulting in adverse reactions and triggering breathing difficulties.

4. Pleural effusion, ascites, etc. caused by the progression of the cat’s abdominal disease may lead to difficulty breathing in cats.

5. Respiratory problems caused by other complications of cabdominal transmission, such as pneumonia, etc. After injection, these diseases may cause a brief aggravation of the condition and difficulty breathing.

6. Allergic reactions, very few cats will have allergic reactions, causing respiratory edema and spasms, resulting in dyspnea.

Solution

1. Create a quiet and comfortable environment, avoid noise and crowding, and reduce cat panic and anxiety.

2. Check the respiratory tract and gently open the cat’s mouth (refer to FIP Cat Nurse) to check the cat’s mouth and throat for edema and foreign body.

3. Check whether the cat’s nasal cavity is blocked by secretions.

4. Raise the cat’s head appropriately to reduce respiratory pressure. You can put a cushion under the cat’s body to promote smooth breathing.

5. Oxygen absorption support can be given to cats when conditions permit.

6. If the situation is serious, seek medical attention in time.

7..Change the injection site

8. Observe whether the cat has other diseases (complications)

9. Learn injection skills to prevent injection mistakes

Pathogeny

1. The injection was too deep, and the needle was pierced into the cat’s body tissue.

2. Cats are more sensitive.

3. Stimulated by the acidic solution of GS drug

4. The drug concentration is too high, and the reasonable drug concentration is generally 15-20mg/ml.

5. The needle inlet angle is improper or too strong, causing tissue damage and pain.

6. The selection of the injection site was poor, and the area with more nerve distribution was selected.

7. The needle model is not suitable. If it is too thick, it will increase tissue damage. If it is too thin, it is easy to bend and cause pain.

8. Local tissue sensitivity

9. Cats are nervous or afraid

Solution

1. Refrigerate the drug and ensure that the temperature of the drug is slightly lower when injecting, which can reduce pain.

2. Control injection skills

3. Choose the appropriate injection area

4. Choose the right needle

5. Create a comfortable treatment environment to ensure the emotional stability of cats during injection.

6. Distract cats with snacks or toys

7. Pain ointment or other analgesic drugs can be used. Please consult the veterinarian for details.

8. Use cat soothing spray to soothe emotions

9. After the condition stabilizes, it can be replaced with oral medicine.

Pathogeny

1. Appears after drug injection synovial fluid

2. There is a small probability that the drug will not be absorbed after injection, and it will converge to the abdomen or near the abdomen, forming a sac-like bulge.

Solution

1. Mild symptoms: If the cat has no obvious discomfort and subsides slowly within a week, there is no need to be nervous.

2. Keep the problematic parts clean

3. When the cat has a strong desire to lick, it can use the Elizabeth Circle.

4. After injection, choose a cold compress to reduce local swelling and pain for 10-15 minutes each time.

5. After 4-6 hours of injection, you can choose a hot compress. You can apply a warm towel or other products at a temperature of about 40 degrees to the injection site to promote blood circulation and accelerate the absorption of drugs or synovial fluids.

6. If it is a synovial fluid caused by tissue damage caused by injection, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used under the guidance of a veterinarian to reduce inflammatory reactions.

7. If it is a synovial fluid caused by allergies, anti-allergic drugs can be used under the guidance of a veterinarian.

8. If there is more synovial fluid, and pain, fever, loss of appetite and other symptoms appear at the same time, you should seek medical attention in time.

9. In some cases, it may be necessary to extract synovial fluid to determine the possibility of infection.

9. If the synovial fluid is large, you can choose to extract synovial fluid to release stress and relieve symptoms.

Answer

Supplementary injection

Reason

1. The half-life of GS drugs is relatively short, and sufficient blood concentration must be ensured to maintain the therapeutic effect.

2. Low concentrations of drugs may cause the virus in the cat to develop drug resistance, resulting in the ineffectiveness of subsequent treatment.

3. According to the mutual comparison of the paper and the test, the drug was used at 10 times the recommended dose, and the cat did not have any additional side effects.

Solution

1.Supplementary injection. The injection volume is calculated based on the maximum value of the drug that is estimated to flow out.

2. After pushing the needle, wait 2 seconds before pulling it out.

3. Wipe gently, don’t wipe hard.

4. No more than 2 ml of injection in a single part

5. Pay attention to the depth of injection when injecting, not too deep or too shallow.

6. Maintain the skin lifting state for a short time after injection.

7. It is recommended to shave the hair at the injection site for easy injection and care.

9. Clean the injection site with alcohol or clean water in time.

Reason

1.Oral administration of GS drugs can cause certain side effects, including diarrhea. A large number of cases of diarrhea occur when the dosage form of the drug is changed.

2. The cat took other antibiotics, resulting in the inactivation of the intestinal flora.

3. Different cats have different drug tolerances, and some cats may be more prone to gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

4.The sick cat is weak and its digestive function will also be affected. After taking the medicine, it may further increase the digestive burden, resulting in diarrhea.

5. Cats change the dosage form without completing the preliminary treatment. Some sick cats have damage to the gastrointestinal system and decline in absorption capacity, resulting in insufficient drug absorption, which cannot suppress the proliferation of the virus, resulting in the recurrence of the disease.

Solution

1. Appropriately increase the dosage of GS drugs

2. Change back to the original dosage form

3. Take antidiarrheal drugs

4.Feed pumpkin, probiotics or baby food

5. Choose mild and easy-to-digest food, such as prescription canned food or cat food specially designed for gastrointestinal sensitive cats. These foods usually contain less fat and fiber, which are easier to be digested and absorbed by cats’ stomach.

6. Make sure that cats have enough fresh drinking water to prevent dehydration. You can add some cat probiotics or electrolyte solutions to the water to help maintain the balance of intestinal flora and replenish water.

7. Avoid feeding too much food to cats at a time, and change to a small number of meals to reduce the gastrointestinal burden. The daily food can be divided into several feedings, and the amount should be appropriately reduced each time.

8. If the symptoms of diarrhea persist and are serious, you should contact the veterinarian in time to inform the specific situation of the cat.

9. Veterinarians may recommend some tests, such as fecal tests, blood tests, etc., to determine whether there are other intestinal infections or diseases. According to the examination results, veterinarians can make more targeted treatment plans.

Answer

It’s better not to, but if there is a conflict with work, you can bring it in advance, but try not to postpone it.

Reason

1. The concentration of GS drugs in the blood gradually rises, reaching the highest level in 24 hours, which is its half-life.

2.Early injection/feeding will increase the concentration of the drug in the blood, generally without special effect.

3. After a period of treatment, the cat’s condition is stable, and the impact is very small at this time.

4.Delaying the time of injection/feeding will lead to a decrease in blood drug concentration and thus affect the treatment effect. For cats in the early stage of the disease, it may lead to drug resistance to the virus in the cat’s body.

Solution

1. If it is delayed for 1-2 hours occasionally, there is no need to beat/feed more.

2.If you miss the dose/omission to feed for one day, you will be given half the more dose in the next two days. The time error should be controlled within half an hour as much as possible, especially in the first two weeks.

Answer

If the hair falls off due to ulcers at the injection site, the hair is unlikely to grow back after healing, but a small number of cats will grow hair again.

Reason

1. The hair follicle at the root of the hair is damaged, and new hair cannot grow.

Solution

1. A small area can be covered by hair in other places.

2.Pay attention to prevent leakage when injecting (refer to the injection method and injection FAQ)

3. You can remove the hair first, which is convenient to observe the situation after injection, and erase the leakage on the cat’s body in time.
