Different age treatment methods
If it is a kitten that is more than three months old but not yet one year old, the shovel officer needs to prepare kitten food for it. The editor’s suggestion is to only give kittens cat food and drink clean water, because their gastrointestinal and immune functions have not yet been fully developed. An overly complex diet will increase the burden on the digestive system and cause health problems.
If it is too small to eat cat food, then you need to prepare milk powder and milk cake for it, and feed it regularly and quantitatively. When it is young, it does not actively defecate. After each feeding, it needs to gently stimulate the skin around its butt under the tail with a tissue or cotton ball to help it defecate.

Body temperature
Body temperature is an important aspect of checking the health of a kitten. Put the thermometer on the base of the kitten’s hind legs and hug it tightly for 3-5 minutes. Then check if his temperature is normal. If the kitten’s body temperature is too low, be careful not to breastfeed. You can give the kitten some porridge or soaked cat food.

Cat ear care is mainly to remove earwax. Disinfect the ear canal with a cotton ball of 75% alcohol, and then dip a cotton swab in olive oil or edible vegetable oil to soak the dry earwax. After it softens, carefully remove the earwax with tweezers. Do not break the mucous membrane of the ear canal. Infected purulent.
Once the cat's external ear canal is infected and purulent, use a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide to scrub gently. Repeatedly scrub until the cotton swab is not stained with pus, and then use absorbent cotton to absorb the hydrogen peroxide in the ear canal. The infection can be cured by scrubbing several times. If the cat has too much earwax and the cat shakes his head and scratches his ears, he should consult a vet for treatment.
