 How do owners deworm their cats at home? Deworming cats is a headache for pooper scoopers, because it takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money every time you go, but it's about your cat's health and you have to deworm it.

A. Preparatory measures for deworming at home

  1. If your cat has a parasitic infection, regardless of whether the pet owner is deworming the cat in vivo or in vitro, you need to determine the type of parasite before deworming the cat and then choose the most appropriate deworming medication. This is because the type of parasite in cats is different and the medication used will be different. For example, if the cat is infected with animal schistosomes and tapeworms you can choose praziquantel tablets; if it is infected with fleas and lice you need to use fipronil drops for deworming.

  2, if you want to give your cat good prevention and regular deworming, this situation is not for any kind of parasites, then you can use conventional prevention, then you can use avermectin transdermal solution and prana dew for regular prevention of ectoparasites and internal parasites, internal and external deworming together will be more thorough, but the owner needs to pay attention to the time interval of one week between internal and external deworming, not simultaneously. Pet deworming should be done regularly, once a month for external worming and once every three months for internal worming.

  The above drugs can be purchased online and kept at home for backup until it is time to deworm the cat, so that it can be dewormed at home without going to the hospital.

Second, the specific practice

  1, in vitro deworming of cats, the owner should first give it a thorough bath, after the bath will be completely blow-dried hair and then put the deworming drops on the back of the cat's neck, where the cat can not lick, before dropping the drug need to use their hands to pluck the hair, so as to facilitate the penetration of drugs into the skin, wait until the drug is completely penetrated and then loosen the hair. There is also the owner to note: when the deworming medicine has not yet expired, do not give your cat a bath to prevent the drug from failing.

  2. If the cat is given internal deworming, the owner needs to feed the deworming medication only 3 to 4 hours after the cat has eaten food (because internal deworming medication for cats can be harmful, if the cat takes the deworming medication on an empty stomach it may hurt its gut), and let the cat fast for about 6 hours after feeding it the deworming medication, during which it can drink more water to ensure the effectiveness of the medication. Feeding tips: Use your hand to hold the cat's mouth open, then quickly throw the medicine into its mouth as deep as possible, then quickly close its mouth and gently massage its throat downwards, keeping its mouth tightly closed to prevent it from spitting out the medicine until it swallows it. The dose of cat deworming medication needs to be chosen carefully. Generally, cat deworming medication needs to be based on the weight and age of the cat, and the owner must read the instructions carefully before feeding it and strictly refer to the standards in the instructions.

  Well! The above is how to deworm a cat at home as shared by Dr. Paw Paw. It is not difficult to deworm a cat, but it is important not to ignore the details, such as the dosage must be chosen carefully, some precautions before and after deworming, etc. When you are skilled in deworming cats, it will be a breeze!
