Big Love

Big Love is a type of external anthelmintic drug. It is mainly used for heartworm and other symptoms of mite infection. It is commonly used in external deworming of dogs and for cats. It is relatively rare to use it in deworming, which inevitably gives people a misunderstanding. Can cats not be pampered? Some people even say that high concentrations of Big Love are toxic to cats. This is undoubtedly unfounded.

Let’s first look at the ingredients. The main ingredient of Da Chong Ai is selamectin. Selamectin is a new generation of avermectin anti-parasitic drug. It is effective in the prevention and treatment of heartworm in cats. It has a good effect by interfering with the chloride ion channel controlled by glutamate in the insect body, causing a large amount of chloride ions to continue to flow in, causing rapid, lethal and non-spasmodic neuromuscular paralysis in the insect body. After using this product on the skin of cats, the drug is absorbed through the skin and enters the blood. Some of the drug enters the digestive tract and blood through the mouth when the animal grooms its coat.

For cats who do not have heartworm disease, selamectin that enters the bloodstream can effectively prevent heartworm disease. For cats already suffering from heartworm disease, it can kill newly infected third- and fourth-stage larvae, prevent them from further maturing and produce more adult worms and microfilariae, thereby reducing the number of worms in the circulating blood. , and avoid the aggravation of clinical symptoms.

How to use Big Pet Drops

Step 1: The usage of drops and sprays are different , first drop it into the position between the shoulder blades on the back of the cat's neck, push aside the fur here to expose the skin, and then drip the drops directly on the skin.

Step 2: Don’t let go immediately after applying the drops, because the drops penetrate into the sebaceous glands and act on the whole body to eliminate insects. Just dropping them on the hair has no effect. You should keep pushing the coat aside to allow the solution to slowly penetrate into the skin. Then close the coat to cover the area where the medicine is applied.

Step 3: Do not drop the drops everywhere on the body. Apply the same method to several points on the cat’s back along the spine. These parts cannot be licked and will not cause safety hazards.

Note: There is no need to massage the medication area, and do not use the medication on damaged skin. Do not bathe your cat within 72 hours before and after use.
