There are many kinds of parasites on cats, and some parasites can also be transmitted to humans and cause certain infectious diseases. Therefore, the deworming work of cats must be paid attention to. But there are so many brands of cat deworming medicine on the market, how do we choose a product that has good deworming effect and is safe and reliable? Below I have sorted out the basic situation of 4 mainstream cat deworming medicines on the market, and made a detailed analysis based on my actual deworming experience for your reference!
Common cat parasites
1. Bleuen, topical drops, suitable for cats over 7 weeks old and weighing more than 0.6kg, there are four drug components, including fipronil, (S)-methoprene, acetamido avermectin The first two drugs are used to expel ectoparasites and their eggs, while the latter two drugs are used to expel the adult and some larvae of endoparasites. They are currently the most widely used in vivo and extrinsic repellents for cats. Insect medicine. Can expel ectoparasites ticks, fleas, flea eggs, larvae and flea pupae, prevent ear itching mites, cat scabies, lice, and kill internal parasites roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, prevent heartworm, treat lung Filariasis, bladder nematodes. The Global Pharmacovigilance Reporting System shows that the incidence of side effects of Brienne is < 1.1/10000, and the safety is very high.
2. Big pet, topical drops, suitable for cats over 8 weeks old, the drug ingredient is only one selamectin, and one drug kills internal and external parasites at the same time. To be honest, the deworming is not very targeted. This should be That’s why some shit shoveling officials have reported that the big pet is not clean to get rid of fleas! And it doesn’t kill high-risk ticks and tapeworms. Both of these parasites can transmit zoonotic diseases and must be taken seriously for the health of cat owners! Especially in summer, when the incidence of ticks is high, friends who have both cats and dogs at home must deworm the cat. Dogs often go out and are easily infected with ticks. During the process of contact between dogs and cats, it may also be transmitted to cats!
3. Love Walker, topical drops, suitable for cats over 9 weeks old, the main ingredients are imidacloprid, moxidine. The biggest bug of this cat dewormer is that it doesn’t kill tapeworms. Fleas are the transmission medium of tapeworms, and fleas are one of the most common parasites on cats. As long as cats eat flea eggs by mistake, they will be at risk of tapeworm infection. Therefore, it is best to choose a cat dewormer that includes tapeworms.
4. Hai Lemiao, tablets, suitable for cats over 6 weeks old and weighing more than 0.5kg, the main components are mirbeoxime and quinone. Although this medicine is said to be an internal and external anthelmintic, it has little effect on parasites on cats, especially external parasites, and cannot even kill the most basic fleas! It is more inclined to internal drive, and it needs to be used together with Flair or Dafa. Prying open the cat’s mouth to feed medicine is more difficult. Beginners to raise cats and handicapped parties should choose carefully!
To expel parasites on cats, it is important to choose the right deworming medicine for cats. Whether the shovel officer insists on giving cats medicine is also an important factor affecting the effect of deworming. It is best to expel the parasites once a month. The insect effect will also be greatly reduced! In addition, do not bathe the cat before and after deworming. The time between deworming and vaccination should be more than a week. Deworming should be carried out when the cat is healthy. Deworming is not suitable for cats with diarrhea, vomiting, cold and other symptoms. You shoveling officers should pay attention when deworming cats!
