Some time ago, I found something similar to white rice grains on my cat’s butt. At first, I thought it was stained with cat litter, but after a closer look, this thing still moved, which surprised me at the time. Consult your vet immediately to find out that this is a cat tapeworm! If your cat has a similar situation, and the cat often sticks its butt to the floor and rubs it on the floor, it looks funny, it is likely to be infected with cat tapeworm.
There are many types of cat tapeworms, mainly Echinococcus multilocularis, Taenia canis and tapeworm. Among them, Taenia canis is the most common, and its adults are mainly parasitic in dogs and cats. The intermediate host is fleas, and cats lick their hair. easy to ingest fleas. People will also have a certain probability of eating fleas by mistake, so that tapeworms can be parasitic in the body. The symptoms are mainly diarrhea, anal itching, etc. If the disease lasts for a long time, it may block the intestines and cause intestinal obstruction. Because the tapeworms take over the host in the intestines Nutrition, over time will also lead to body weight loss, malnutrition. Therefore, for the health of the cat and the owner, we need to choose a suitable deworming medicine for the cat to solve the cat tapeworm in time.
At present, the more mainstream anthelmintic drugs to kill cat tapeworms on the market include Heilemiao and Braien. There are two kinds of ingredients in Hailemo: mirbexime and praziquantel, and there are four kinds of ingredients in Blein: fipronil, (S)-methoprene, acetamidoavermectin, and praziquantel. Both anthelmintics kill cat tapeworms with praziquantel. However, Hai Lemiao needs to be given medicine, which is a bit difficult for novice cat owners or handicapped parties, and will be scratched by cats if they are not careful. So I recommend to use Bleuen, it is a drop, just drop the medicine on the skin of the cat’s shoulder and neck, and then the medicine will enter the cat’s blood through the unique transdermal absorption technology, thereby killing the cat. Dead cat tapeworm.
In addition, although Hai Lemiao said that it drives both the body and the outside, the fact is that it is more inclined to drive it internally, because it can’t even kill the most basic fleas with external drives, so what about repelling insects. In contrast, Blein has a more comprehensive anthelmintic spectrum. It is the broadest-spectrum anthelmintic for cats, both in vitro and in vivo, capable of killing ectoparasites: ticks, fleas, flea eggs, larvae and flea pupae, Prevention and treatment of ear itching mites, cat scabies, lice; internal parasites: roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, prevention of heartworms, treatment of lung worms, bladder nematodes. For domestic cats, one can handle daily deworming without using other deworming products, which is very convenient.
I would like to remind everyone here that deworming cats is not a one-time deworming. At present, there are no parasites on the cat, but it is necessary to deworm the cat regularly every month. This is a process that requires persistence. Be lazy. Because parasites are everywhere, cats are at risk of contracting parasites anytime, anywhere. For example, mosquito bites can transmit heartworm, cats that eat raw meat are prone to cat tapeworms, kittens are prone to roundworms, and cats are prone to fleas in dirty homes. , And after being infected with fleas, cats are very likely to be infected with cat tapeworms… There are many ways of parasitic infection, which I will not list here. In a word, deworming cats regularly is responsible for cats and themselves. and family members.
