CATDOLL : How to deworm cats internally and externally

Deworming for cats:

1. Pay attention to your physical health

The cat must be in good health before deworming, otherwise it is easy to cause secondary damage to the body. For example, cats with anemia, emaciation, malnutrition, and sickness must wait until their bodies are well before deworming. Some cats that have just been vaccinated need to wait 5-7 days before deworming. Deworming is also not recommended for pregnant cats.

2. Be careful when choosing anthelmintics

When choosing medicine, the owner must choose pet-specific anthelmintics and never feed cats human anthelmintics. You can prepare some professional pet anthelmintics at home. It is recommended to give the cat the recommended amount according to the cat's weight and refer to the instructions. Do not feed it at will to avoid overdose.

3. Post-deworming care

It is best to feed the cat anthelmintics on an empty stomach, and you can give it water during this period, so that the drug effect can be maximized. You can give the drug 4 hours after the cat has eaten, and fast for 5 to 6 hours after giving the drug so that the anthelmintics can take effect. After the cat has taken the anthelmintics, you should also pay attention to its physical condition.

External deworming for cats:

1. Drops

Drops are disposable external anthelmintics. You only need to use one each time you deworm, and it is also relatively convenient. However, there are also some rules for where to drop the drops. If you just drop them on the cat, the effect will not be fully exerted. Because when you use anthelmintic drops, remember to part the cat's fur, drop them on their skin, and drop them on places that the cat cannot lick, such as the shoulder blades and spine.

2. Spray

Sprays can be used anytime and anywhere, and are mostly used for first aid or environmental insect repellent. When there is an urgent need for insect repellent, you can use the spray to spray the affected area immediately to achieve a timely effect. It can also be sprayed on pet supplies or carpets at home to achieve environmental insect repellent.
