1. What is prolapse?
The cat's anus can see columnar drooping swollen objects, congestion or edema, surface filthy, and stick to hair and soil, which can lead to mucous membrane ulceration and necrosis. It is often accompanied by increased body temperature, depression and decreased appetite. And frequently perform bowel movements.
2. Why do cats prolapse? The causes of cats prolapse and treatment for long-term severe diarrhea, weakness, or due to constipation, severe stress during childbirth, and prostatitis. Severe parasites in the intestinal tract, excessive cellulose in the feed, protein and vitamin deficiency, etc., can cause this disease when cats are malnourished.
If the cat has prolapse due to long-term diarrhea and prolapse, it is necessary to have fecal examination, which is likely because of coccidiosis. Coccidiosis is difficult to cure. Generally, doctors will prescribe Happy Brown Sugar and Xinbida for you. Personally, I feel that Happy Brown Sugar is easier to feed.
If the cat prolapses due to excessive anus (such as constipation), the cat is likely to eat foreign objects that are difficult to excrete, so he can't pull it out if he works hard every day. Once a cat cannot pull out a poop for more than three days, please press it with your hands to see if there is any feces accumulated. If the cat screams when pressed, it may be that it has eaten hard foreign objects such as plastic and needles. Please seek medical treatment as soon as possible to take an examination. If you don’t scream and you’re obviously feeling the accumulation of feces, then it may have eaten a softer foreign object like cotton thread. The cotton thread is relatively light, and generally shorter ones can be discharged, but if it is too long and hung at the base of the tongue, you can only take it out with your stomach. Don't be too happy even if the cotton thread is short, because even the cotton thread is like a saw in its small intestine. I have read many guides online, and most people say "Just pull it out, it doesn't matter if you eat it in your hair." I'm really drunk. It's like a hemp rope stuffed into the intestines of a person's intestines. It's like a hemp rope that can't be made. It's very easy to scratch the intestinal wall of a cat!
What should I do after I find that my anus is prolapsed?
If the anus is not severe, that is, if it is less than 1cm, wash it immediately with normal saline, then apply erythromycin eye ointment on the middle finger and rub it gently, and slowly push the anus into it. However, even if you push it, you will lose your poop next time, so it is recommended to go to the hospital to see what is the cause of anal prolapse. The prolapse caused by diarrhea is found to be due to other complicated reasons for enteritis, so as to prescribe the right medicine to avoid delaying treatment.
If the anus is severe, that is, it is more than 1cm (or accompanied by wear, inflammation and pus flow, etc.), after being sent to the hospital, the doctor will recommend that under general anesthesia, rinse with 01% Xinjielmide, and send the prolapsed rectum into the anus for replenishment. To prevent re-exitation, purse stitching can be done around the anus. Remove the thread after it is cured. If the prolapsed intestinal canal has necrosis, surgical surgery should be performed to remove this part of the intestinal canal, and care should be paid after the operation. In addition, attention should be paid to the treatment of primary diseases of rectal degeneration.
4. Postoperative care
Whether you push it in or sew it back for you by the doctor, be careful to feed probiotics every day and do not let the prolapsed cat's stool form, otherwise you will be forced to get it out again after you are forced to do so in minutes.
If it is pushed, be prepared to escape in minutes and prepare to push the anus at all times. You must feed cat probiotics. It is not probiotics like Yiliduo, but mommy loves, or the doctor prescribes it for you. The probiotics are powdery and liquid, so please follow your needs. The doctor may prescribe fructose and hair cream for you to feed him every day, which can make his stool appear diarrhea. If the medicine stops, his stool will naturally be normal.
If the surgery is stitched in, it is recommended to choose respiratory anesthesia, because this is just a minor operation. If you are injected with anesthesia, you will be sleeping for a long time. You need to stay by his side and give him eye drops. Moreover, anesthesia for a kitten is very bad for your health. The purse stitching will leave a little hole for it to poop, probably the size of a thermometer, so once the stool is formed...haha. If there is no accident, the doctor will usually remove the stitches 8-10 days. You may be asked to take injections, anti-inflammatory injections, etc. every day in the first four days. If it cannot be pulled out, the doctor will prescribe lactulose for you to let it be drained.
After removing the stitches, there is still a possibility of prolapse. Continue to soften his stool (lactulose). The recovery period is at least one month. Continue to apply erythromycin eye ointment every day and rub the anus to perform anal lifting activities for it.
