Cat Smoke Inhalation Fire does not injure by burning alone: smoke contains very little oxygen and a lot of carbon monoxide. Other poisonous gases may be present as well, from burned plastic, textiles, and rubber. These add more trouble. Thus, a fire not only burns the breathing tube sand lungs but also poisons your cat.   Cat Smoke Inhalation Home Remedies Remove your cat to fresh air. Check its breathing and use artificial respiration. Treat your cat for shock, and then seek veterinary aid.   Cat Smoke Inhalation Treatment If your cat is conscious, and there is no blood-tinged sputum being coughed up and no fluid in the lungs, humidified oxygen and steroids may be given to try to prevent such problems as severe pneumonia from developing during the critical period – the next forty-eight hours. Pain-relieving medication may be given to ease some of the breathing distress.   X-rays will be taken during your cat’s hospitalization to monitor the lung damage.

The Urinary System in Cats The urinary system in cats is the main waste-disposal plant. The paired kidneys clean and filter the blood continuously as it passes through them. They help regulate the amount of salt, potassium, and water needed in the body. The excess is passed on with the waste products of metabolism through two tiny tubes axletrees to the storage tank, the bladder. When your pet’s bladder fills wills enough urine, a signal is sent to the brain for your pet to head for the litter box or ask to be let out. The urine exits to the outside by a thin tube called the urethra, locate din the vagina of the female and the penis of the male.         The one important time for you to examine the urinary system in cats at home is if your cat is straining to urinate or has blood in the urine. A large bladder accompanied by frequent attempts to urinate is a very serious problem.

In my opinion, any parasite that sucks your own or your pet’s blood lays approximately 5,000 eggs, and transmits fatal diseases to humans (Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme’s disease) is not a good citizen of the world!     These disgusting creatures bury their heads in the skin and suck blood until they look like fat, brown beans. At this point, probably because it is so fast that it can’t hold on anymore, the cat tick falls off the host and lays the5,000 or more eggs. The eggs hatch one or two months later.   The next two phases in the development of the cat tick are called the larval and nymph stages. These stages may last quite a long time because different cat ticks need differ-ent hosts to feed on. In the dormant stages, the cat ticks can patiently wait for months – or even hibernate during the winter under bushes, in the ground,
