CATDOLL : Is it normal for cats to have diarrhea after deworming?

It is normal for cats to have diarrhea or soft stools after deworming. Usually, cats will have diarrhea because the anthelmintic enters the cat's intestines and stimulates the intestinal epithelial cells, which leads to an imbalance in the intestinal flora structure. After the deworming is completed, the cat will slowly recover.

Things to note when deworming cats:

1. Most anthelmintics must be used when the animal is about 2 months old. Choose anthelmintics specifically for cats. Do not feed cats with human anthelmintics. The dosage of human anthelmintics is difficult for cats to grasp, and it is easy to use insufficient or excessive amounts of medicine.

2. Oral anthelmintics can be taken with food or after meals.

3. When using drops to repel insects, avoid taking a bath 72 hours before and after taking the medicine. Taking a bath will reduce the sebum secretion of the skin and reduce the penetration and diffusion effect of the drug.
