How to choose a healthy kitten?

At first have a look, as the kitten of conducts. If it sits sad, to play does not want, to any paper signs on attention does not react, with a kitten obviously something is wrong not so. The normal healthy kitten is very curious, and if near to it mum it will play and show with the great pleasure to all interest. If the kitten besides moves badly, filled up at locomotion if the tail at it hangs is a sick kitten. To tell, that with it, the veterinarian can only. But healthy kittens hold a tail to perpendicularly body, they react to everything, they fine run and jump. The kitten who behaves as the small old man - is sick.
Now more thin inspection. Pay attention to eyes of a kitten. If they are watered either are inflamed, or «the third eyelid» has dropped out - the kitten is sick. If from a nose fluid is excreted or the kitten constantly sneezes - at it a cold and it is sick. If under a tail at a kitten or you have noticed the wet inflamed anal aperture, that at a kitten diarrhoeia - it is sick. The same if at a stroking of a tummy the kitten shouts from a pain.
Pay attention to ears of a kitten. If in a cochlea you have noticed brown abjections is is not grey, these are traces from "job" of the aural tick. Before to take a kitten home, let the owner will cure it of this illness. If the kitten holds a head roughly and all time tries to get a pad to an ear and complains - at it, probably, an otitis, an ear inflammation.
Discover to a kitten a mouth and examine attentively. The normal fauces of a kitten should be pure and pink. The acyanotic fauces speak about an anaemia or a bad cardiac performance, is possible - about an intoxication. The red fauces - about different stems inflammations and if in the root you have seen little wounds or black crusts are the most conclusive sign of a serious virus infection contamination.
The special speech about a wool. Any enanthesises of a kitten show, that it is unhealthy. It is the most dangerous, if on a wool of a kitten bald spots were formed, precisely part of a skin cut out on a circle. Routinely bare place has reddish shade. It is a sign of a fungus disease which is easily passed from cats to people, in popular speech - a barn itch, and on scientific - a microsporia. Places rough, precisely short-haired wool is there can be a trichophytosis, a fungus amazing a coat, the present barn itch. A kitten with such lesions to take it is impossible. At first it is required to be cured. If to you will speak, what is it an avitaminosis, do not believe, and suggest masters to make analysises in Veterinary clinics is better.
And the most widespread variant: if the kitten all time is hackled, or on its wool you see black points, is exact scraps of a mud, the earth, or in some places under a coat have noticed reddenings and scratches are fleas. Certainly, it is not lethal, but it is better to choose to itself a kitten without unpleasant parasites.
