Daily life of my British shorthair cat Apple (2)

Daily life of my British shorthair cat Apple (2)

To sum up, it is okay to spank, but it is best to develop such a habit from a young age, because cats do not know the severity of the problem. When they are playing with you, they may bite too hard. You can just spank them lightly to let them know that it is wrong. It is also important to distinguish between rewards and punishments. My mother’s theory is that spoiled cats have many problems, so don’t be too fussy about things that should be roughed up. Apple has a proud personality and it still has this personality. We are all used to it. It will only bow to its favorite chicken jerky. It will go out to play when it wants to, and come back by itself when it is time to eat at night (but it still doesn’t like my boyfriend. Apple is a female cat but she doesn’t like men very much. My boyfriend just looks at her with envy)

I am going back to Hainan for a while during the National Day holiday, so I will take Apple with me. It is very clean and never pees in its cage.

But I got home very late and forgot to open the balcony door for it, so the cat litter was on the balcony. I was awakened by its urine at 4:30 in the morning. It aimed at my back and walked over me on purpose after peeing. I felt so miserable. I resisted the urge to beat it and just deprived it of snacks for a few days.

It has been raining since we arrived in Hainan, and Apple has a small patch of ringworm. I have been wearing an Elizabethan collar for the first time in a long time

. Something has happened to Apple these past few days, and it is all my fault.

Originally, it was just a two-fingerprint-sized ringworm under the neck. I went back to Chengdu first because of exams, and Apple and my parents stayed in Hainan for the winter. Not long after I left, the ringworm became more serious. I checked a lot of reviews on the Internet, thinking that ringworm was a minor problem and it was not a big deal, so I bought Petfen and clotrimazole cream. I had used Petfen before, so there was no problem, but Apple was very resistant every time I sprayed it, and it felt irritating, so I changed it to clotrimazole cream. After four days of application, Apple’s mental state became worse and worse.

He vomited once because of undigested cat food without much water, and then he started to not eat and only drank a little water. Apple had a history of pancreatitis. I was really panicked, so I asked my mother to take him to the only pet hospital nearby. The doctor said that not all ringworms are suitable for clotrimazole cream and Apple may have accidentally ingested it, causing gastrointestinal inflammation. Fortunately, the liver and gallbladder were fine. My mother went to the Elizabeth circle once to have it cleaned, so it might be that time when he accidentally ingested it. Apple had been receiving intravenous drips for two days. After the first day of infusion, he started eating cat food and his condition recovered little by little.

I would like to remind everyone again that if your cat is sick, do not blindly use medicine based on what is said on the Internet, especially when using medicine for humans, you should pay attention to the safety of the medicine!! It is best to use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor!
