There are plenty of non-veterinarian web sites on the internet that claim you, as a cat owner, should put together an emergency first aid kit for your cat in case something manageable and minor happens.

If you actually have put together a first aid kit together for your cat, THROW IT AWAY.

No one, with the exception of a veterinarian, is qualified to handle ANY medical emergencies that involve a cat.

Why should people not try to administer first aid to their cat?

This answer is simple….when a cat is in pain (from whatever) or it is feeling upset, ill or just miserable….it has the potential to ATTACK YOU if you try to handle the wound or problem with your cat.

Your cat is not prone to attacking you, but quick as a flash, your cat might bite you and scratch as a warning that you are being too rough with it or that what you’re doing is amplifying the pain.

Leave emergencies to your vet, to save yourself some pain. Take some time to head on over to the site of the veterinarians Long Beach.
