The director found that since when, jerking cats and rabbits has successfully led the new trend of child-skating.
A lot of parents like to take their babies to a variety of Netflix “cat jerking museum” to enjoy family time.
It’s a good idea to play with cats and dogs.
The most important thing is to make sure that you have the right tools to do so.

** 9 year old girl with multiple unexplained lumps on her body** **Causes related to cats! ***
This year, 9-year-old Xiaoxing (a pseudonym) spent a happy summer vacation at his grandmother’s house with the “meowing cats”.
Once, while playing with the cat, Xiao Xing got a few bloodstains on her left middle finger and left forearm, but her family was not too concerned because there was no bleeding.
However, when she came home after the summer vacation, there was a problem - a rash started to appear on her left middle finger and some pus came out, but it didn’t hurt or itch, so Xiao Xing didn’t tell her parents.
However, a month later, Xiaoxing found lumps on her left upper arm and under her armpits, which were painful to touch.
After that, the mother took Xiao Xing to Shenzhen Children’s Hospital. The receiving doctor did all kinds of examinations for Xiaoxing and found no abnormality, but the lumps did exist.
This case of unknown etiology caught the attention of Zheng Yuejie, the director of the respiratory department.
Dr. Zheng combined XiaoXing’s experience of being scratched by a cat with his suspicion that XiaoXing was suffering from “cat scratch disease “, and then sent XiaoXing’s blood sample for a high-throughput sequencing test.
Soon, the report confirmed Dr. Zheng’s suspicion, and after some symptomatic treatment, Xiaoxing was soon discharged from the hospital!
But not everyone is as lucky as Starlet.
The following lady lost an eye because of cat scratch disease.
The doctor said ** cat scratching disease ** the onset of disease does not distinguish between age groups, but infants, pregnant women, the elderly and other people with low immunity, more likely to “hit”.
** from being ** ** cat scratch to the onset, the incubation period is generally 3 to 10 days, a small number of cases can be up to several months or even more than a year, so it is easy to miss and misdiagnosis of clinical. **
In addition to cat’s claw disease, babies who like to be in close contact with small animals may also develop this disease - the cat’s claw disease.

** 4 year old boy belly as big as a pregnant woman,** ** 2 pounds of parasitic fluid aspirated from his body! ***
Last year, 4-year-old Jingjing (a pseudonym) had recurring fevers, couldn’t eat or sleep well, and had difficulty breathing and bloating from time to time.
The parents were so anxious about the sickly child that they brought him to the doctor in a hurry.
Jingjing’s chest and stomach were bulging like a six-month pregnant woman, and the blood vessels in his belly were bulging.
The results of the test made the doctor take a breath of cold air - Jingjing’s right chest cavity and right abdominal cavity, each with a giant cyst.
It was like having two “big water balloons” stuffed into his stomach.
The “large water balloons” were compressing his lungs, and Jingjing not only had difficulty breathing and abdominal distension, but also had life-threatening symptoms at any time.
Further blood results at the hospital showed that Jingjing had Encyloidiasis.
The main source of infection is the dog (dogs become infected by eating the entrails of sick animals; dogs that eat dog food are not usually worried).
The surgeon must surgically remove both cysts, but because of the large number of echinococcus larvae inside the cysts, the surgeon must remove the cysts once the walls rupture.
Once the walls of the cysts ruptured during the removal process, the large number of echinococcus larvae contained in the cyst fluid could cause thoracic and abdominal infections, as well as anaphylactic shock, which could lead to death.
After repeated discussions among experts, the final surgical plan was confirmed: first aspirate the cyst fluid, then remove the cyst, and finally administer medication.
After thorough planning, the surgery began.
Even though they were mentally prepared, the doctors were still “amazed”: ** The amount of fluid extracted from the two cysts was more than 1000 ml! ***
Fortunately, after the surgery, Jingjing recovered well and was discharged from the hospital shortly afterwards.
There are several possible routes of infection for Jingjing to have contracted borreliosis.
1. Contact with sick dogs: Dogs with worm eggs on their fur, which can contaminate their hands, and children who don’t eat or wash their hands thoroughly can ingest the eggs.
2. Eating food containing worm eggs: Indirect infection can also occur if worm eggs in dog feces contaminate vegetables or water sources.
Respiratory infection of eggs: When Jingjing was 11 months old, he went with his grandmother to live with his aunt in Xinjiang for half a year.
Xinjiang is one of the endemic areas for echinococcosis.
In the arid and windy environment, the eggs are carried on the wind and can be infected by the respiratory tract.
Having said these two relatively rare diseases, let’s take a look at this parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, which often appears on social media and makes elders cringe.

** Pregnant with toxoplasmosis,** ** ** child born with brain problems! ***
In 2011, a mother in Japan welcomed the birth of her first child, but while she was excited, she was also frustrated and regretful: there was a problem with her daughter’s brain.
It turned out that she had been infected with Toxoplasma gondii during her pregnancy, which led to the infection of her unborn baby.
With news like this, pregnant mothers who love cute babies have to face a painful struggle after pregnancy.
** Should I send my beloved “meowing” or “woofing” person away? ***
It is a common belief among elderly family members that pregnancy and pets cannot coexist, and there have even been news stories of dogs and cats being thrown from tall buildings to their deaths because of pregnancy.
This is a cruel and unacceptable practice.
I’m sure the expectant mother can keep a dog or cat, and after reading the following content, she will have her own judgment.
Let’s start with cat.
Only cats that have eaten mice, moles, squirrels or other small animals infected by toxoplasmosis** can contract toxoplasmosis.
Moreover, a cat infected with toxoplasmosis will only excrete toxoplasmic eggs once after the initial infection, and the eggs may not become infectious until at least 24 hours after they are excreted in the feces.
Therefore, if your cat eats cat food, it may never be infected.
If the feces are cleaned up within 24 hours, there is less chance of infection.
In addition, toxoplasmosis eggs can only hatch through the human stomach and intestines.
** So, even if you are unlucky enough to touch that “unique” piece of feces with the eggs in it, there is no risk of getting sick as long as you don’t eat it. **
After cats, let’s look at Dogs.
Dogs are even more harmless than cats because they are intermediate hosts for toxoplasmosis,** and their feces and excrement are not contagious and do not transmit toxoplasmosis at all. **

For families with expectant mothers, the following protection and hygiene tasks are sufficient.

9, ** after touching the pet promptly with soap and water, do not kiss the pet, do not let the pet go to bed with the sleep. **
Note: Although Toxoplasma infection poses a potential risk to the fetus, it is not necessary to terminate the pregnancy once infection is diagnosed in the mother-to-be.
** The decision to terminate a pregnancy is based on the status of the infection, the gestational week and duration of the infection, and the presence of fetal ultrasound abnormalities. **
