Withhold food (but not water) for 24 hours (12 hours for kittens) to give your cat's digestive system a rest. Then feed him feed him a bland diet of 50% boiled rice and 50% chicken or 50/50 boiled rice and cooked hamburger for the next two to three days. Do not feed any dairy products.
These injuries proved to be more serious in terms of healing time â on average 14 work days were lost to job transfer or restrictions for the injured worker. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports: 110,000 lost-time hand injuries annually.
BLS also makes it clear that hand injuries arenât cheap: âThe average hand injury claim has now exceeded $6,000, with each lost-time workersâ compensation claim reaching nearly $7,500.â Furthermore, hand injury costs can vary greatly by the injury type. Stitches can run up to $2,000. A laceration can cost as much as $10,000. And a severed tendon can easily cost more than $70,000. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery did a study on the frequency, cost of treatment, and lost productivity from hand and wrist injuries and found the following: â¢ Hand and wrist injuries cost the most compared to other emergency department injuries at $740 million a year (knee and lower limb fractures cost $562 million annually, skull-brain injuries cost $355 million, and hip fractures cost $532 million)
