Once you have given your pet first aid, take them to the vet for a check-up as soon as possible. Your first aid kit should contain: 🤕Bandages ✂️Blunt-ended scissors 🍶Wound wash 🤕Cotton wool ✂️Tweezers 🪲Tick tweezers 🤕Wound dressing 🤕Self-adhesive tape 🤕Dressings 🧤Vinyl gloves 🩺Foil blanket 🍶Antiseptic wipes 🤕A blanket to use as a stretcher.

😽🪥Cat teeth problems It might surprise you that cats commonly suffer with disorders of the teeth, jaw and mouth. As cats are great at hiding signs of discomfort and pain, it can be difficult, as an owner, to see that your cat even has an issue. Your cat might appear happy and relaxed, and may even be eating and drinking normally. Oral health issues can be a great source of suffering for our pets and cats often seem to be much livelier and content after treatment. Maintaining good oral health and keeping your cat’s teeth clean is likely to improve the quality of your cat’s life. #catsprotection #catoralhealth #petdentalhealthmonth
