Cats are animals susceptible to parasite infection, so they need to be dewormed regularly to avoid infection and maintain good health. ​​​​​​

Don’t ignore these 6 signs that your cat needs deworming!

　01 Eat too much and not gain weight

The cat eats and drinks normally and does not reduce its food intake, but it does not gain weight and becomes increasingly thin. Note that this is a sign that your cat is infected with parasites!

　02 Frequent scratching of the body

If a cat is infected with parasites, it will experience abnormal itching, so in order to relieve the itching symptoms, the cat will scratch the itchy parts of its body like crazy.

　03 Retching and vomiting

If your cat is retching or vomiting, it is most likely because the cat has hair balls or is suffering from parasite infection.

　04 Frequent rubbing of buttocks

If a cat is infected with parasites, it will rub its butt on the ground or lick its butt.

　05 There are worms in the poop

If the poop scooper sees worms in the feces in the cat litter when shoveling poop, he can directly determine that he is infected with parasites~

　06 Rough and dull hair, severe hair loss

When a cat is infected with parasites, the parasites will absorb the nutrients in the cat's body, and then the hair will be rough, dull, and suffer from severe hair loss.

What are the parasites inside and outside the body?

Our common external parasites generally include fleas, mites, trichocystis, ticks, etc. General symptoms include hair loss, skin redness, inflammation, and skin itching~

The parasites in the body generally include heartworms, roundworms, coccidia, stripworms, hookworms, etc. The general symptoms include affecting gastrointestinal absorption and digestion and loss of appetite, weight loss, soft stools, diarrhea and other problems~

How to get rid of insects?

Generally speaking, external deworming needs to be done once a month, while internal deworming needs to be done every three months.

But when choosing anthelmintics, you must choose an anthelmintic suitable for cats. Do not use anthelmintics for dogs.

In addition, the effect will be better when the internal drive is on an empty stomach~

Do not wash your cat for 3 days before and after dewormingTake a bath!

　Note

In addition, it should be noted that even if the cat is kept indoors and does not go out, it still needs to be dewormed. Although the home may look clean and tidy, the owner’s shoes, sewers, food, etc. may also expose cats to parasites~

So even domestic cats need to be dewormed. However, pet owners can extend the deworming time according to the situation.

In addition, if the cat is infected, the nutrients in the body will be taken away by the parasites, so it is recommended to supplement the cat’s nutrition after deworming.
