Convulsive reaction after deworming in cats: recognition and first aid measures for overdose poisoning.
Recently, we received a question from an anxious cat owner whose one-and-a-half-month-old cat was experiencing severe convulsions all over his body after deworming. This issue is of great concern to us, as it is likely to be a symptom of poisoning caused by an overdose of anthelmintic drugs.
Here, we will delve into the relevant knowledge of cat deworming and how to deal with such emergencies.
When deworming cats, it is essential to strictly follow the recommendations for the use of medications. In general, only cats weighing more than two kilograms or more than three months old are suitable for deworming.
For young and underweight kittens, the dose should be calculated precisely according to their body weight and ensure that the IVD drops are applied to the neck area that is not easy to lick.
Cats are poisoned by an overdose of anthelmintic drugs, and the typical symptom is convulsions all over the body. In this regard, the first task is to accelerate metabolism through infusion and promote the elimination of toxins.
If conditions do not allow, conservative** can be used.
Poisoning can indeed be life-threatening, especially for cats at such a young age, and in addition to direct toxicity, it can also lead to dehydration and liver and kidney damage. Therefore, it is crucial to take timely measures and keep a close eye on changes in the condition.
When a cat's appetite is restored, it can be seen as a sign that the condition is improving.
Faced with the problem of difficulty chewing in the state of convulsions, the owner can crush the special goat milk powder for pets or the milk cake food for kittens during the weaning period into a paste, and feed it in small quantities and many times to ensure that the cat consumes enough nutrients and water.
In addition to basic**, timely supplementation of vitamins that are beneficial to the nervous system, such as drugs with endogenous ingredients, can help cats recover more quickly from poisoning symptoms.
As the cat's appetite gradually recovers and the frequency of tics decreases, the owner needs to continue to pay attention and record the changes in the condition.
According to the doctor's advice, adhere to the established protocol for medication and feeding, while maintaining patient and meticulous care.
