Bathing a cat cannot kill fleas. If done improperly, it will also cause the cat to catch cold or be affected, or even cause the cat to become sick. If a cat is infected with fleas, it is recommended to use flea repellent drugs in time. Generally, drugs containing selamectin and other ingredients are used. It is recommended to choose an appropriate dose based on the cat’s weight and develop the habit of regular deworming. ​​​​​​

Although giving a cat a bath can remove some of the fleas stuck to the cat's fur, it does not actually kill the fleas. There are also many fleas in the cat's hair. Because the number of eggs laid by fleas is very high every day, even bathing the cat cannot completely eliminate fleas.

For cats infected with fleas, it is recommended to use relevant external anthelmintic drugs in a timely manner, such as drugs containing selamectin, fepredronil and other ingredients. The application method of external anthelmintics is relatively simple and has relatively little impact on cats. Generally, the medicine can be dropped directly on the cat's skin, such as the neck. However, when using the medicine, be sure to avoid dropping the medicine on the hair. If a lot of medicine is dropped on the hair, the effect will not be achieved. In vitro anthelmintic drugs are mainly absorbed through sebaceous glands, so do not bathe the cat before using the drug to prevent the shower gel from washing off excess sebum on the skin and affecting the absorption of the drug.

At the same time, you also need to do a good job in environmental pest control, because fleas will also lay eggs in the environment. If you just deworm the cat without paying attention to environmental pest control, then the flea eggs in the environment will hatch into adults and will appear again. Infected cats.

Finally, cats must be dewormed externally on a regular basis, especially in hotter seasons. It is recommended to do it once a month. Because fleas may also transmit common intestinal parasites such as tapeworms, internal deworming is also required.
