It is heartbreaking for a kitten to be bitten by a big cat. If your cat also encounters this situation, how should you deal with it? First, when you find that the kitten is bitten by a big cat, you should take it to the veterinarian for examination as soon as possible.

Especially if the wound is serious, or symptoms such as redness, swelling, fever, and discomfort appear, you need to seek medical treatment in time.

On the way to the veterinary clinic, you can do some simple emergency treatments first.

For example, use a clean gauze or cotton ball, gently wipe the blood around the wound, and gently press the wound to stop the bleeding.

But during this process, do not exert too much force or irritate the wound to avoid causing discomfort in the cat.

In addition, when checking in the clinic, doctors usually clean and disinfect the cat's wounds to prevent infection and the spread of the disease.

Then, depending on the wound condition, a suture or bandage may be performed to promote wound healing and recovery.

But please note that when dealing with cats with wounds, do not act on your own, especially do not try to clean or disinfect irritating chemicals such as alcohol, hydroxide, and iodine, as this may cause the injury to worsen.

In addition, during the recovery of a cat's wound, you should also pay attention to giving it sufficient nutritional support and care to promote wound healing and physical recovery.

For example, you can feed cats more high-quality, easy-to-digestible food to avoid excessive activity and fatigue, and clean the cat's body and environmental hygiene in time, etc.

Finally, please note that there may be many reasons for cats being bitten, such as being beaten, being bitten by other animals, eating moldy or spoiled food, poisoning, etc.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, we need to pay more attention and take care of our cats, eliminate potential safety risks, and create a safe and warm living environment for them.
