CATDOLL : In what situations do cats need to be dewormed?

The most direct sign that a cat needs external deworming is that the cat's skin has plaques, rashes, and dandruff. The most direct cause is skin disease, and the direct cause of skin disease is external parasites. Therefore, once this happens, the owner needs to deworm in time. It is best to deworm a cat once a month, especially for cats who like to be outdoors. This can effectively prevent cats from having external parasites.

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 flea collars for external deworming. Most flea collars are made of dichlorvos, which is highly toxic and very harmful to cats.
