How to deworm cats effectively? The following are some of the experiences and lessons I have summarized and sorted out in the process of raising cats for 5 years. I hope it will be helpful to everyone!
1. How to deworm cats? Which worms to repel?
External parasites: fleas, ticks, lice, mites, the biggest manifestation of cats after infection is skin itching, frequent scratching of the body, it is easy to find if the shovel officer carefully observes.
Internal parasites: roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and cats are mainly manifested as diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms after infection.
2. How to deworm cats? What are the methods of deworming?
1. Insect repellent collar
The deworming collars on the market are mixed and the safety is difficult to guarantee, and the deworming drugs are toxic to a certain extent. Long-term contact with the cat’s hair is likely to cause cat poisoning, and I personally do not recommend it.
2. Deworming needle:
To be honest, if my friends hadn’t come to ask me, I wouldn’t have known that such a thing existed. Later, I asked my grandfather in the countryside to find out that deworming needles are generally used for cattle and sheep, and basically no one is used for cats. It is not known whether it is safe for cats, and it is also not recommended.
3. Deworming medicine
The cat deworming medicines we can see are basically put on the market after many tests to ensure safety, which is relatively reassuring. However, we should remind everyone to try to choose products with big brands, good reputation and complete insect spectrum, which will have better control effect on parasites.
3. How to deworm cats? How often is the deworming frequency appropriate?
1. Kittens within two months of age are not suitable for deworming, but sprays can be used appropriately.
Generally, the kittens born by domestic female cats are relatively clean, and you can consider not deworming them within 2 months; if you find a stray cat outside, it is inevitable that there will be fleas on your body. The small body is also unbearable. At this time, it can be properly dewormed, but the operation must be appropriate.
Of course it is not suitable for small milk cats to use drops, but they can use sprays, such as Fluen spray, but you must remember to use a small amount of spray, and be sure to dry it quickly after spraying, otherwise the milk cat will easily Cold and flu.
2. Cats over two months old can use deworming medicine, pay attention to determine the dosage according to the weight.
My cat uses Blein internal and external co-repellent. It is suitable for cats over 7 weeks old and weighing more than 0.6kg. The reason why I choose this is because it is a four-effect compound formula, so there are more kinds of deworming. The most broad-spectrum anthelmintic for cats on the surface, external drops avoid the trouble of feeding medicines, which is very convenient. It can drive and kill roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, prevent heartworms, treat lungworms, and bladder nematodes in vivo; in vitro, it can drive and kill ticks, fleas, flea eggs, larvae and flea pupae, prevent ear itching mites, cat scabies, lice. For domestic cats, this deworming configuration can be regarded as Hermes level, which is completely enough!
Finally, let me talk about the question of deworming cats at home or going to the veterinary hospital to deworm cats. Personally, it is recommended to do deworming at home, especially cats with low immunity and have not been vaccinated. They often go to the hospital and are easily infected with diseases. Moreover, some cats are timid and often go out, which can easily cause stress reactions. Of course, if the cat needs to see a doctor or have a normal physical examination, you should take it to the hospital or go, but you must take protective measures!
