Why should cats be dewormed?

First of all, if a cat has the habit of feeding raw meat, it is easy to be infected with internal bugs, such as roundworms, tapeworms, etc. When cats go out to play, they are likely to be exposed to fleas, ticks and other bugs, or eggs. These bugs require external deworming for cats. If not treated in time, these bugs may also infect people, which is extremely harmful. .

Classification of cat deworming

Cat deworming is divided into external and external deworming. For domestic cats, deworming can begin after weaning. There are many ways to deworm cats, the most common of which are oral deworming pills and drops of deworming pills. There are actually different anthelmintics that work against different bugs. I have put together a picture for you to choose.

Misunderstandings about deworming cats

1. If the cat has been vaccinated, do you still need to deworm the cat?

Yes, vaccines are mainly used to prevent rabies and control feline distemper (details) and other popular infectious diseases. Cat anthelmintics mainly target parasites, so cats that have been vaccinated should also take them. Dewormed.

2. Do you still need to deworm your cat if you bathe it frequently?

Yes, bathing can only temporarily wash away some of the bugs visible to the naked eye, but many times the eggs are difficult to remove through bathing. In addition, the parasites in the body must be treated with anthelmintics to achieve the effect of deworming cats.

3. Do cats need to be dewormed even if they are invisible bugs?

Parasites are very small, and those that can be seen with the naked eye are already quite serious. For example, fleas, which can be seen with the naked eye, are already very serious, because 95% of flea eggs, young fleas, etc. cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. So not seeing bugs does not mean that the cat is not infected by bugs and cannot see them, but the cat must also be dewormed.

4. The cat has been dewormed before, does it still need to be dewormed?

General deworming drugs are effective in about a month. Some bugs have short growth cycles. For example, fleas only have 14 days and ear mites only have 16 days. To ensure the health of cats, cat deworming needs to be carried out once a month. .

5. What kind of cat deworming medicine is more suitable?

I personally recommend Bioline, because it is relatively convenient to use, and oral anthelmintics are too troublesome to feed. Bioline is for external use, but its deworming spectrum can affect both internal and external insects. The needle design is very convenient, and it can be dripped onto the skin of the cat's back with a gentle push. But remember if you use cat deworming medicine, try not to take a shower for a few days before and after. Also, after cats are dewormed, dead parasites will be excreted in their stools. If you have any symptoms of discomfort, it is best to consult a doctor.
