What do vets do to a cat who lost (fur or skin) on its tail because it got stuck in a trap?
My male cat who’s one year old got his tale stuck in a trap,he’s a russian blue and has blue skin,when he managed to escape the trap (i wasn’t there) an inch of his tail had no fur and was pink (no blood or vains) and its in the middle of his tale.I my father immidietly took him to the vets,my question is what do vets generally do when that happens?
Im pretty sure they cant do anything as far as the fur goes, it has to grow back on its own. Its tail does need to be checked on though if it got stuck in a trap to make sure its not injured.
Probably not much. The hair will grow back. They may even shave a little more off if it looks like there was any damage and they want to check. It will grow. It’s just a little hair.
I adopted a kiitten from the streets who had a severe bite on her back. Since she was still a kitten, her fur grew back quickly since her size doubled in 2 months. It depends on the age of the cat, and I would recommand giving the cat extra protein such as: -boiled egg whites -boiled beef (fat removed) -chicken breast -don’t feed your cat excess sugar and fats, it does more damage to cats than humans
And here are some other tips: -be sure that other pets are not present because the tail is a great play toy for them. -just warning you that most cats can be irritated when they are injured. -if the trap is rusty, the wound should be cleaned by a vet -any broken bones should be in a cast -it may be uncomfortable, but the poor cat needs to wear a head brace to prevent it from licking its wound (saliva contains unimaginable numbers of bacteria in it) -check for fleas or lice, the wound is a very vulnerable place -if a serious infection occurs, the cat can possibly have a fever
signs of any general sickness (not all are related to fever): -fatigue (odd movements while walking, doesn’t want to move) -dry nose -unusually dilated pupils under the light -pale paws -excess dendruff, hair oils -unusual color in urine -spots (generally white) in faeces (indication of parasitical organisms in digestive track) -refusing to eat or drink/ eating or drinking less -vomiting, but mainly caused by fur balls -and lastly just a reminder, THIS IS NOT A SYMPTOM: cats sleep around 16 hours a day.
these are my experiences with my cats, please look for vets for a professional opion.
Turns out my cat lost skin too so the vet has to amputate a bit of his tail :(
The vet also said that someone must of skinned his tail because its too clean for a trap to do it,if i find th person he did this to my kitty theres gonna be trouble
