Whether you raise cats or dogs, improper feeding can easily cause them to be infected with parasites. Parasite infection makes animals more painful, so when raising animals, you should pay attention to some feeding methods. Today I will let you know about cats infected with parasites. How to treat worms! External parasites

External parasites are on the skin of cats. Fleas, lice, and ticks are visible to the naked eye. There are many types of mites. Ear mites can be seen, and some are invisible.

External parasites live by sucking blood and eating sebum. Cats that go out are more likely to be infected, or cats that are brought home by humans can be infected. External parasites can infect humans through cats, causing allergic dermatitis or causing infection with other parasites. In addition, blood-sucking parasites such as fleas and ticks may also cause anemia in kittens.

Internal parasites

Many internal parasites in cats are caused by contact with food, water or feces contaminated by insect eggs, such as roundworms, coccidia, flagellates, etc. Tapeworms are caused by cats licking flea-infected eggs. Heartworms are spread through mosquito bites. Generally speaking, internal parasite infection in adult cats is not fatal, but in young cats, it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, malnutrition, and even death.

Give your cat regular physical exams, and you can make an accurate judgment on whether your cat has internal parasites by testing its feces. If you are infected with parasites, you should receive relevant treatment according to the instructions of your veterinarian, and you should also perform regular internal deworming to prevent various parasites in the body.

Prevention methods

Deworm once a month, or once every three months in winter. Common heartworm preventive drugs include Heartgard, Revolution, Advocate, and HaileChong. Some of these drugs are taken orally or for topical use. The dosage is determined based on body weight and should be taken once a month. Regular physical examination is the fastest and most effective way to prevent it.

Go out less often. Cats are pets that do not like to go out for walks as often as dogs. Cats like to stay quiet. Although the outside world is colorful, it is easy to encounter various stray cats and dogs. If the pet cat in your home often goes out, it may be infected. It is free of fleas and other parasites, so the cat can appropriately reduce the number of times it goes out.

Take a shower frequently. Cats are animals that are afraid of water, so many pet cats don’t like bathing. However, not bathing can easily cause cats to develop a lot of parasites, so people should let cats develop a habit of frequent bathing, just twice a month. It can effectively prevent cats from getting parasites.
