After three years of development, there are more than 1,000 variants of the new coronavirus, and the main ones worth paying attention to are: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron.

"I can be positive, but my cat can't!"

This is the first reaction of many shovelers after the recent policy relaxation.

After three years of development, there are more than 1,000 variants of the new coronavirus. The most important (strongly transmitted or lethal) are: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron.

And the star strain in 2022 is Omicron- Omicron , which has strong transmission power but weak harm.

With the relaxation of epidemic prevention policies, more than 90% of people will be infected sooner or later. So the question is:

Will the hairy children in the family be infected? What are the symptoms of a cat infected with , the new crown , and how to deal with it?

Let’s talk about the conclusion first:

● Cats are infected with the new coronavirus (including different historical strains) are basically transmitted from humans to cats

● After humans are infected with Omickron, they may be transmitted to cats

● There is currently no evidence that after cats are infected, they will be transmitted from humans

● After cats are infected with Omickron, most of them are asymptomatic/mild, and they can generally heal themselves

● Cats cannot be taken: ibuprofen and others use anti-inflammatory drugs

1. What should the cat do if the human being is swelling?

Three years ago, when people became arrogant, they might be "harmless".

Three years later, I am so arrogant that my child is delicious and sleeps well by your side and gains weight of three pounds.

A study published in "Proceedings of the American Academy of Sciences " in September 2020 showed that cats and dogs are at risk of getting infected with the new coronavirus, but hairy children generally do not have obvious symptoms after being infected.

, a study published in August this year also brought pretty good news.

were vaccinated with three different new coronavirus strains - D614G, Delta, and Omicron (Omicron) in three groups of cats, and observed the various signs of the cats within 14 days. The experimental results showed that cats infected with D614G and Delta showed obvious fever and symptoms of pneumonia, and the virus replicated rapidly in the body and were highly transmissible; cats infected with Omicron had no obvious changes in body temperature, and basically no symptoms were observed. Only mild to moderate infections were found in the lungs, not even pneumonia.

virus is difficult to replicate in the body and disappears very quickly. During the 14-day experimental cycle, it gains weight.

The green lines are infected with the cat's weight in the experimental group Omickron Experimental Group▼

The infection of three strains in the cat's body is ▼

Among them, Omickron's infection is the mildest, and on the 5th day of infection, the virus basically disappeared from the lungs.

This is also consistent with most of the visible cases at present:

people are so arrogant, the cat is still excited and even has a better appetite.

There are two possibilities:

. The cat is not infected (by the way I despise the immunity of human spicy chicken)

. The cat is infected, but it has no symptoms, or the symptoms are so mild that it is difficult to detect (does not affect the immunity of human spicy chicken)

This is by no means luck.

cats themselves are more immunity than humans. Even when the virus was strong in the early stage, cats and dogs did not experience large-scale severe or mortality like humans, let alone Omickron, whose lethality is getting weaker and weaker.

If those domestic cats that were infected by their owners in the early stage of the epidemic were not harmless, they would probably be able to get better at home.

And stray cats and dogs are also lucky in disguise. Even if they are infected, no one cares about them. They are likely to be able to heal themselves and continue to walk around the world with ease.

So at present, the chance of severe illness after a cat is infected is very low, so you can basically feel at ease.

Of course, we cannot completely rule out the special case:

In case some cats are infected with stronger strains, what should parents do if the cat has low immunity?

2. What are the symptoms of cats infected with the new coronavirus and how to deal with it?

As of the current data, cats infected with different strains have experienced the following symptoms:

• Fever
• Cough
• Difficult breathing/short breath
• Mental depression
• hm l1 Sneeze
• Runny nose
• Partial secretions of the eyes
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea

That is to say, if you are yang, your cat will also experience similar symptoms later, and you will doubt whether the cat is also infected.

Now that antigen is in short supply, we can't take the cat out for a physical examination rashly, and pet hospital is probably unwilling to receive treatment...

In uncertainty, you should not take medicine rashly, and you should not give cats anti-inflammatory drugs that people take!

side effects are unknown, but they are also particularly prone to overdose, including ibuprofen, paracetamol , etc.

If the cat only has mild symptoms but its mental and appetite is not bad, can continue to observe. There is no need to use medicine for the time being. Give more meat or broth to help recover;

If the cat has obvious symptoms, poor mental and appetite, or even accompanied by dyspnea and shortness of breath, , you can consider buying pet medicine.

The safer way is to consult a trusted pet doctor, or find a pet hospital with a larger specification in the city, call each one to consult, choose one you think is reliable, explain the symptoms to the doctor, ask the doctor to prescribe pet medicine, and please run errands to send it home.

3. The symptoms of cats are not necessarily positive.

It is worth noting that winter is the peak period for outbreaks of pathogens such as cup shape, sporacetum, Mycoplasma , Chlamydia , and Chlamydia .

Cats infected with the above viruses/pathogens will also experience respiratory tract or enteritis .

Similarly, when the diagnosis cannot be confirmed, contact a reliable hospital to see if it can run errands and send samples to the hospital for testing.

generally collects secretions from the cat's mouth, nose and anus, seals them, and sends them to the hospital within half an hour. This not only avoids unnecessary travel, but also allows more accurate detection of the cause of the disease.

If the sample is not convenient for testing, you can read the old articles shared before, check them one by one, and try to treat them at home:

Sneeze/running nose/sniff breathing/eye and nose secretions, etc. Similar cold symptoms

But, only when you are suffocated, you can improve the resistance of cats , it is a bit cramming, and the effect cannot be guaranteed.

So I will talk about it next: How to improve cat resistance on weekdays.

5. How to improve cat immunity

. Ensure the nutritional balance of staple foods. has the conditions to make homemade cat rice (there is a tutorial at the bottom), followed by freeze-dried staple food, canned staple food, and cat food.

. Commercial pet food has nutritional defects, , so you have to change it frequently. I don’t know how to choose it. Read the guide at the end of the article.

. Eat less snack jars and cat strips. is addictive and picky to eat, and does not eat well. Nowadays, there are many staple foods such as cat strips or poultry freeze-dried, which can also reward cats and be healthier. Some can also grind and clean teeth.

. Play and interact with cats more, and the impact of mental health on immunity cannot be underestimated.

. There is no need to go to a pet hospital when deworming and taking a bath. will only increase the risk of infection with bacteria .

. Maintain home hygiene. is cleaned and disinfected regularly, especially cats’ personal supplies, toys, and food bowls.
• . A cowardly cat reduces unnecessary socialization/going out. can easily cause cat stress and directly affect immunity.

  (If you want cats to have an extroverted and bold personality, you must cultivate them from childhood, rather than taking them out of the way and making new friends after adulthood.)

  

  Finally, I hope everyone can get late sheep and sheep. I wish the kittens in the world a good meal every day!
