Cats usually start their first internal deworming around 6 weeks of age. After that, internal deworming is performed again every 3 months or so.
Internal deworming is mainly to prevent parasitic infections such as roundworms and hookworms. When deworming, you need to pay attention to the following:
Selection of anthelmintic drugs: Choose the appropriate anthelmintic drug according to the weight and age of the cat, and operate according to the medication method on the instructions.
Dietary modification: Before deworming, you need to fast for a period of time to avoid the effects of food on medications.
Observe the reaction: After deworming, you need to observe the cat's reaction, and if there is an abnormality, you need to seek medical attention in time.
In addition, for in vitro deworming of cats, it is generally recommended to carry out cats over 4 weeks of age. In vitro deworming is mainly to prevent parasitic infections such as fleas and ticks. When using in vitro anthelmintic drugs, the following points need to be noted:
Follow the medication method on the instructions to avoid overdose or insufficiency.
When deworming in vitro, you need to drop the drug on the back of the cat's neck to avoid the cat licking the drug.
Regular in vitro deworming is done to avoid parasitic infections.
In short, the deworming work of cats needs to be carried out regularly, and attention should be paid to choosing the appropriate drugs and medication methods to avoid affecting the health of cats.
