CATDOLL : How to use external anthelmintics for cats?

The general method of external deworming for cats is to drop the medicine on the skin of the neck, and then rub it to make the medicine penetrate into the skin. External deworming for cats is generally done once a month, and in winter when parasites are not common, deworming is done once every one or two months. Some parasites are common to humans and cats. At home, you should also regularly disinfect the area where the cat lives and the utensils used, and wash your hands in time after playing with the cat, which can effectively prevent and control them.

What to pay attention to when deworming cats:

1. The dosage of cat anthelmintics. Anthelmintics are toxic, so you must feed them according to the instructions, especially for domestic anthelmintics. You must weigh the cat before using the medicine and calculate the dosage according to the weight. Sometimes there will be a lot of medicine left. If you think it is a waste, you can feed it to stray cats.

2. Deworm cats regularly, about once a month. Cats are the final hosts of many parasites. Depending on the type of parasite, the growth cycle can be as short as half a month or even as short as a week, so deworming once a month is absolutely necessary.

3. Do not use the kind of external deworming that is added to the bath water. Cats have a special skin structure, and toxic substances can penetrate into the body through the skin. In addition, cats have the habit of licking their fur, so if you use that kind of deworming medicine, it will cause the cat to be poisoned and die.
