CATDOLL : How to use cat internal and external anthelmintics

How to use external repellent:

1. The general method for external deworming of cats is to part the hair on the back of the cat's neck, drop the external deworming medicine on the cat's skin, and then rub it to allow the medicine to penetrate into the skin.

2. External parasites reproduce quickly in summer, so cats should be dewormed externally once a month. In winter, when parasites are less common, cats should be dewormed once every one or two months. Internal deworming can be done once every three months.

3. Some parasites are shared by humans and cats. At home, you should also regularly disinfect the areas where cats live and the utensils they use. You should also wash your hands promptly after playing with cats. This can effectively prevent and control them.

How to use internal drive medicine:

1. Anthelmintics for cats are generally in the form of granules or tablets. The owner can pry the cat's mouth open, place the medicine in the mouth, then pinch the cat's mouth, gently stroke the cat's throat, and gently exhale into the cat's nose to stimulate the cat to swallow.

2. If the cat is unwilling to swallow, the owner can try to wrap the medicine with canned food, cat strips, or other sticky foods that the cat likes to eat to induce the cat to take it.

3. If the cat is picky about food, the owner can take the cat to the veterinary hospital and have a professional feed the cat with a medicine feeder. It should be noted that when using internal anthelmintics for cats, the owner needs to strictly follow the cat's weight and choose the appropriate dose of medicine according to the specifications on the instructions. Do not use too much to avoid poisoning the cat.
