The loose
skin on the side, back, or shoulders should be gently pulled
outward. This creates the "tent" in the skin.
The skin
should rapidly snap back and return to normal when released. If the
skin remains raised or "tented," the cat may be dehydrated
and medical attention should be sought.
A video of this procedure can be found below.
If the video
does not play, you must install an MPEG video
player on your computer (e.g. Windows Media Player). Click
here to download Windows Media Player. Or
Install Internet Explorer from our CD Manual.
