Different types of anthelmintics will naturally lead to different feeding methods. When some owners feed their cats Bayer anthelmintics, they usually stop eating and drinking for several hours. Is this necessary? In fact, there is no need to fast when feeding deworming medicine to cats. ​​​​​​

Take Bayer’s deworming medicine as an example. In fact, the instructions state that owners can give the medicine directly to the cat, or add the medicine to the cat’s food and feed it together. This also shows that it is not necessary to feed anthelmintics on an empty stomach.

So instead of focusing on whether you need to feed on an empty stomach, it is better to pay more attention to the method of using drugs. Many deworming drugs are not suitable for animals under 6 weeks old, so you don’t have to worry too much about deworming your pets. It doesn’t really matter whether you deworm before or after vaccination. For the sake of the cat's health, it is okay to wait until the cat is a little older before deworming. Some deworming drugs are not suitable for pregnant pet cats and may affect kittens, so be sure to understand them in advance.

There are incompatibilities between drugs, so it is necessary to know which drugs the anthelmintic drug cannot be taken at the same time, and find a precise time point to avoid mutual interaction between the drugs. In addition, cats may have certain adverse reactions after taking deworming drugs, but they will generally recover slowly on their own. If adverse symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical treatment.
