How to deworm cats effectively? As the saying goes, the right medicine is the right medicine. So first we need to know what are the common parasites? What are their routes of transmission? And then take measures to wipe them out.
According to where the parasites live, parasites on cats can be divided into two categories: 1) External parasites: As the name suggests, external parasites reside on the cat’s body surface, mainly arthropods, including fleas, ticks, scabies and ear itching Mites etc. 2) Internal parasites: mainly include tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms and heartworms.
Fleas: Flea eggs are stained on the clothes the owner wears when they go out; cats come into contact with other cats and dogs with fleas; cats accidentally eat flea eggs in flower pots, etc., which can lead to flea infection. Fleas can cause itchy skin, seasonal eczema, allergic dermatitis, local ulcers, hair loss anemia, and malnutrition in cats.
Ticks: Cats play on low vegetation such as grass and shrubs, and ticks run on cats or are infected by dogs who go out frequently. Ticks can cause local skin ulcers and pain in cats; at the same time, they can cause blood loss and anemia in cats; in severe cases, the toxins in tick saliva can cause cats to be paralyzed.
Mites: mainly include scabies mites and ear itching mites. Cats are very likely to be infected when they come into contact with other cats and dogs infected with mites. Of course, if the cat’s living environment is dirty, it is easy to breed mites. The mites can cause unbearable itching in cats, and if the ear itching mites are severe, they can also affect the cat’s hearing.
Roundworms: Most of the infected cats are infected by mother cats to their fetuses, or cats who eat raw meat. The cat is mildly infected with no obvious symptoms. When roundworms reach a certain number, cats will show symptoms such as malnutrition, weakness, bloating, abdominal pain, intestinal blockage, and vomiting.
Tapeworms: Cats who are often fed raw flesh and meat, and cats that are infected with fleas, are more likely to have tapeworms in their bodies. Tapeworms can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, and malnutrition in cats.
Hookworms: Cats eat infectious larvae or intermediate vectors such as mice. The mother cat transmits the infection to the kitten through the placenta or milk.
The clinical symptoms of hookworm disease are not obvious, mainly anemia, pale mucous membranes, local skin bleeding, physical decline, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Seeing this, we have a basic understanding of these common cat parasites, so how can cats be dewormed well? I recommend using Bleuen internal and external deworming to deworm cats on time every month. Because this cat anthelmintic is a four-effect compound formula composed of fipronil (S)-methoprene, acetamido abamectin, praziquantel, the first two ingredients are specifically for fleas, ticks, ear Itch mites, cat scabies mites, lice and other ectoparasites and their eggs, the latter two components are specifically aimed at internal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and targeted deworming in vitro and in vivo, and the deworming effect is better, and This is the most comprehensive cat dewormer available on the market. The usage is also very simple, just drop the liquid medicine directly on the skin of the cat’s shoulder and neck, which is very suitable for handicapped people like me!
In addition, how to deworm cats well? In addition to deworming the cat itself, special attention should be paid to household environmental hygiene, especially the areas where cats often stay such as carpets, sofas, cat litter boxes, etc., which need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Only doing so is responsible for the cat’s health, otherwise the owner will regret it when the cat is sick.
