CUARENTENA en gatos 🐾😼| Todo lo que debes hacer ANTES de introducir un nuevo gato en casa + QUIZ 🤔❓

Welcome to who Wants to Be a Cater. Today's topic is do you know how to quarantine properly? Hello, I'm Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Many of you don't know exactly what to do when you come across a kitten and decide to rescue it. In fact, I've received many questions regarding quarantine and how to proceed with a kitten recently rescued from the street. In addition, for several weeks we've been putting up a survey on our community tab on the YouTube channel in which this topic always came up first, but others beat it. So some of you have already told us that we have to see that this topic never comes up. That's why this week we decided to manipulate the system. In other words, we didn't put up a survey at all so that the quarantine would finally come out and we could answer all your questions. So if you already live with a cat and you've decided to rescue a kitten from the street and bring it into your home, you need to follow a series of steps to avoid putting your entire family's health at risk. Well, maybe putting your entire family's health at risk is a bit of an exaggeration. I've been a bit dramatic, but anyway, that way I'll keep you hooked on the video. It's true that it can affect the health of your cat, the one that already lives with you, which is your family after all. Because. Because that new cat that you bring in from the street can infect it with a large number of diseases from infectious diseases caused by viruses, parasites, fleas, ticks, etc. Quarantine, in case anyone doesn't know, is a period in which you must take a few more health precautions with the new cat that you've just brought into your home. And you usually keep it isolated from the rest of the household. That is, you usually keep it in a room to prevent it from spreading to the rest if it has an illness. This process is usually a bit difficult for families because, of course, you have a kitten that you just rescued and you have the poor thing abandoned in a room because it can't go out with the others. But hey, in the end, you can cope with this because as you'll see, it's not that long. But first I have to ask you, remember that on this exciting night, we're playing who wants to be a cat Lover? Four questions that can lead you to glory. To find out if you're a true cat lover, let's go to the first question what's the first thing you do during quarantine and A. Watch a video of pets and happy families. B Leave a room clean and ready. C Steal your neighbor's cat. D Prepare the cat that already lives with you. It's a complicated question, so wheel mark D, wheel mark D. Correct. Prepare your cat before the other cat comes in. I would have chosen A. Well, that one is never wrong. Although watching a video about pets and happy families is always a very good option because in fact you are watching it now to know how to prepare it. The correct answer was D. And how do you prepare a cat? Well, you will have to deworm it thoroughly, both internally and externally, so that if the other kitten, for whatever reason, has a flea or an external parasite on it, it does not escape from the room where the new cat is going to be and the one that already lives with you ends up catching it. You should bring its vaccinations up to date or have it tested for diseases if you have not already done so, just to know how your cat is doing before the new one moves in and to prevent the new one from infecting it with any type of disease when it moves into your home. Once all this is done, the second thing you have to do is take the new cat to the vet so that it can have a good medical check up and be given its anti parasitics, both internal and external. At that point I recommend that you do a blood test so that you can begin to determine whether or not the cat has infectious diseases in cats, the most common of which are leukemia and immunodeficiency. But I do not recommend that you do this step as soon as you pick the cat up from the street. I prefer that you wait a day living with the new cat at home so that you can observe more or less how it behaves and so that you can tell us more things at the vet, such as, for example, if it has diarrhea, if you see that it is coughing, if you see that it has vomited, or anything like that. Obviously if you see that the cat already has some type of illness or signs that require it to be seen by the vet urgently, do not wait. Take it, for example, if you see that it has a broken leg, well, hey, do not wait at home, there is no point. Take it directly to the clinic so that they can treat it, because that is what the cat needs at that time. You can skip this step if your cat comes from a shelter because they will probably have already tested it, but to be much more at ease. Always ask the people in charge if it has already been tested or vaccinated. And of course, and I don't know if this needs to be said or not. If you are going to put two cats together, ideally they should have the same serological status against diseases. If a kitten has a viral disease, for example leukemia, then the kitten you are going to bring into your home should also have leukemia. And if your kitten that was already living with you is healthy, then the cat you are going to bring into your home should also be healthy. So, if the cat that is in your home is healthy and the new one has some disease, what do you do? It will depend a bit on the diseases that the cat you bring in from the street may have. For example, the issue of leukemia. Is there a vaccine against leukemia? Therefore, if the cat you are going to adopt from the street is positive for leukemia, it would be enough for you to have your cat vaccinated against leukemia. Although I have already told you a few times that the vaccine is not 100% effective, it has a very, very high protection rate. On the other hand, if the cat you are going to bring into your home has an immunodeficiency, there is no vaccine for this disease in Europe, for example. Therefore, you will have to take this into account to prevent these two cats from living together. Because it is possible that the cat with an immunodeficiency could end up infecting the cat that does not have an immunodeficiency. But if you chose answer B, you are not far off, because it is clear that you have to prepare a place for the new cat to live. But the most important thing is to start by doing the tests. Now, let's prepare a room. Obviously, if you are going to rescue a cat from the street and keep it under observation for a day before taking it to the vet, you are going to have to put it in a room in your house so that you can keep a close eye on it. In that room, you are going to prepare a bed for the new cat, which is a litter box, a food bowl and also a water bowl. But remember that you are going to have to leave the food bowl and the water bowl on the other side of the room. With respect to the litter box. You can also leave some toys for the cat to entertain itself with, and very importantly, an area where it can hide. Keep in mind that if you have just rescued a kitten from the street and you put it in a completely strange environment, it may feel extremely insecure and will perhaps want to hide. From your sight or feel a little more protected in a more secluded environment. In addition, if you want, you can plug a synthetic feline facial pheromone diffuser into the wall, which I repeat ad nauseam, but that may make it feel a little more comforted. This is going to be their home. Their home for the entire duration of the quarantine. And it will also help them get used to the smells of your house to the other cat walking past the door and smelling it. And so they will continue to live in the rhythms of your home. Okay, so you've taken the new cat to the vet and they've tested it and it came back negative. But you don't have to put them together yet. The new cat has to be quarantined. But why are we going to leave your cat in a room if the test came back negative? A because we want to play sow with your cat. B because it could have been a false negative. C because we want the cat to get used to it. D because this is an invention of the vet who only wants to do it to make money. Are you sure? Remember that if you're not sure, you can choose the audience wild card or the call wild card. You're going to choose the audience wild card. Perfect. Then let's consult our audience. Okay, but since there's no audience here, we're only going to ask Jose, Jose, why are we going to leave the cat inside a room if the test is negative? Of course, because the vet thinks he's getting more money out of you. Yes, of course, as it couldn't be otherwise. Vets are always the bad guys. But no, the correct answer is B, because the test could have given a false negative. And I'm sure you knew that cat diseases can take a while to show themselves. Therefore, if your cat was infected the day before you picked it up, the first test you do will come back negative. Of course, if that test were already positive, it would already be giving you some information about how the cat is doing at that time. But in the case that it were negative, you can't keep it as the only proof because it could be that the cat is developing the disease and it could be some time before you know if the cat really has it or not. This is why you should keep your new cat indoors until you are completely sure that it is healthy. Also, you will be able to observe the new cat during the entire quarantine period because there are some parasites that, for example, are transmitted through feces and that are not eliminated with standard anti parasitic methods, and that can be transmitted to the cat that was previously living with you in your home. Therefore, it is very important that during this entire time, you keep a close eye on everything the new cat does. If it eats, if it doesn't eat, if it drinks, if it pees bloody, or if its feces are diarrheal or not. So that you can know if the cat is showing any signs of an illness that has not yet shown itself. Every time you enter and leave the room that you have prepared for your cat, you should wash your hands very well. In fact, you can even buy which some places and pharmacies sell lotions to thoroughly disinfect your hands to prevent anything the cat inside from spreading to the cat living outside with your hands. In addition, there are some people who even decide to change their clothes. I think that's a bit excessive, but it's also an option that you can consider. When you clean the litter box of the cat that lives inside, you'll have to put all the litter in a bag and seal it very well. And the cat that is outside doesn't have any contact with that litter because, as I'm saying, parasites that could affect the cat that is living outside are often transmitted through poop. You'll also have to thoroughly disinfect the food and water bowls after the cat inside uses them. For this, you can use normal, everyday disinfectants that we have around the house, such as a drop of bleach. Always remember that you'll have to rinse them after washing them. And throughout the video, we've been talking about how long the quarantine will last, which really is the eternal question. But how long will the quarantine last? A never less than a month. B until we reach a million subscribers. C, until your cat hisses at you when you enter its room. D admit it, your cat hates you and will want to be in that room for the rest of its life. It seems like the contest is getting complicated. Which answer do you choose? Okay, it seems like you have doubts. Let's use the wild card of the phone call. I see that you've put a trusted contact here. Totoro. Hello, Totoro. Yes, we're here competing to see who wants to be a cat person. And we're already on the third question of the contest. And the question is, how long does the quarantine have to last? Well, of course. What else would Totoro say? Well, thank you very much, Totoro, for your participation in who Wants to Be a Cat Person. Well, the Truth is that I don't know if this has been very helpful, but you were the one who chose Totoro as a reliable account. So you know. So which answer do we choose? Are you going to listen to Totoro? Do you want to change your answer? It tells me that you chose answer A. Let's mark it correct. It's answer A. You do know the time that you are going to keep your cat inside the quarantine room is never less than a month. Because during that period, we are going to be giving enough time for the test that we are going to do at the end of the quarantine to give us a reliable result if it has been infected with a virus. Normally, this type of disease, well, depending on the virus, usually takes around a month or a month and a half to appear in the blood for the test to give us a reliable result. Therefore, you can never keep it for less than that time if you want the results of your cat's tests to be reliable. If this second test does give you a negative result, that's when I recommend that you vaccinate the cat you just picked up, because now you can be much more certain that your cat doesn't have any of these diseases. All of these times will be greatly shortened if the cat already comes from a shelter. So because they will have already done tests and health checks beforehand, then you'll only have to do a safety check at home as soon as you enter a test that will confirm whether the cat is positive or negative and will also confirm whether you can give it a vaccine or not. But even so, remember that you'll still have to comply with the period in which you're going to have them separated, because you have to get both cats used to living together. We've already talked about these steps in another video on the channel, and I'll leave the link here so you can go and take a look. I wanted to make this video precisely to raise awareness among you who are probably starting to rescue kittens from the street. This activity is, in truth, quite commendable because you are giving a second chance to a kitten that has been abandoned, which, unfortunately, we often find in this world in which we live. If you decide to adopt kittens that are on the street, you have to know perfectly how to take these quarantine steps, because if you are constantly introducing cats into your home, you are greatly increasing the risk that the cats that already live with you may suffer from a disease that could be transmitted to them from those you have rescued. That is why it is very important that all the steps you take in quarantine are taken in this way, sequenced, and that you wait enough time to make sure that the tests and analyses that are done on the cats are completely reliable and that the cat is healthy and can live with others. And I want to encourage helping all those cats that are abandoned on the street. But be careful, this is not the same as helping them at any cost and in any way, because there are many people who are dedicated to picking up perfectly healthy animals from the streets and then taking them into homes where there are cats that are not properly cared for and that can start to spread diseases to each other. This is not helping cats. I understand that many people do this out of ignorance because they think that a cat is helpless on the street and they take it in, feed it, give it a roof over its head, and protect it from other types of dangers. But unfortunately, this is not enough. That is why I have decided to do my bit, so that you are fully aware of the steps you need to take when rescuing a cat and to prevent that cat from posing a risk to other cats that it may live with. And now we come to the final question, the question that will turn you into a true cat person and an honorary member of Happy Pets and Families. Are you ready? And at this point, at the end of the video and with everything I've said, do you think it's going to be very difficult for you to apply the quarantine? A yes, this video hasn't been useful to me at all. B umm, I don't see it clearly. C too much, blah blah blah. D Of course, not everything has become crystal clear to me. Well, at this point I hope the answer is D. Because if not, I really will leave the channel, take off my tie the microphone and go to your house and explain it to you, if necessary, in private lessons. No, no.
