CATDOLL : Why does the cat keep scratching for hours after deworming?

Reasons why cats keep scratching for hours after deworming:

1. It may be because the anthelmintic is ineffective, resulting in the insects not dying after deworming and continuing to bite the cat, causing itching.

2. Anthelmintics have a narrow range of deworming, and parasites in some parts of the body may not be killed. Insects that are not expelled will continue to bite cats and cause itching.

3. When deworming is done through injection, there may be an itchy sensation at the injection site, causing the cat to scratch.

4. If the anthelmintic medicine expires, the cat will be infected with parasites again and cause itching.

Things to note when deworming your cat:

1. Check the cat's physical condition

Deworming must be done when the cat is in good health. If the cat is in poor health, deworming can be postponed until the cat's body returns to normal. Vaccination and deworming should also be done separately, with an interval of 5-7 days. If the cat is pregnant, it is best to stop deworming.

2. Choose the right anthelmintic

There are many cat deworming products, so you should be careful when choosing products. You should choose suitable and guaranteed products so that you can achieve good deworming effects.

3. Common reactions after deworming

After deworming, some cats with poor physical fitness may experience diarrhea and vomiting. These are normal phenomena, so don't worry too much. You can feed your cat some probiotics to help replenish the cat's body with beneficial bacteria. However, if the cat's reaction is severe and lasts for several days, you should take the cat to the pet hospital as soon as possible.

4. Clean environment

If the home environment is not clean and hygienic, it is easy to breed bacteria and insects, and cats are very likely to be infected with parasites. Therefore, you must pay attention to the hygiene and safety of the home environment, and you can also help cats comb their fur frequently to check whether there are parasites, and also pay attention to regular deworming of cats.
