With the increasing number of cat owners, the health of cats is also a concern. In vitro deworming is an important part of keeping your cat healthy, but sometimes cats will accidentally lick the anthelmintic medicine. So, what happens if a cat licks an in vitro anthelmintic drug?
First of all, we need to understand the composition of in vitro anthelmintic drugs. The main ingredients of common in vitro anthelmintics are serramin, fipronil, etc., which are safe for cats. However, if the cat licks the anthelmintic medicine, there is still a possibility of some adverse reactions.
1. Lick a small amount of anthelmintic medicine.
If the cat just accidentally licks a small amount of in vitro deworming drugs, then there will generally be no obvious adverse reactions. At this time, the owner can observe whether the cat has abnormal manifestations, such as drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. If there are no abnormalities, then no special treatment is usually needed.
Second, lick a large amount of anthelmintic medicine.
