5. Professional veterinary advice
According to a recent highly praised answer on Zhihu, there are three golden rules for raising kittens:
1.Temperature control:Kittens have poor body temperature regulation ability, so the ambient temperature should be kept between 26-32°C, especially in winter, a heating pad should be used.
2.Vaccination:Core vaccines must be vaccinated. The recently hotly discussed vaccination programs are: 8 weeks - cat triple vaccine, 12 weeks - rabies vaccine, and then strengthened every year.
3.Stress management:Xiaohongshu’s popular notes point out that newly arrived kittens need a 3-7 day adaptation period and should prepare a hidden space to avoid forced interactions.
6. Special precautions
A recent hot search on Weibo reminds: May is a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases in kittens. Pay attention to keeping the environment dry and ventilated. If you notice sneezing or increased eye and nose secretions, you should seek medical attention promptly.
Finally, I would like to remind you that every kitten has individual differences. If you encounter special circumstances, it is recommended to consult a professional pet doctor in time. With scientific feeding and lots of love, your kitten will surely grow up healthily and happily!
