1. Learn about parasites and their hazards
Before performing in vitro deworming for kittens, we first need to understand common parasites and their hazards. Common ectoparasites in cats include fleas, ticks, mites, etc. These parasites can cause cats to have symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and hair loss, and in severe cases, they may also cause systemic symptoms such as anemia and malnutrition.
2. Choose the right anthelmintic drug
When choosing a deworming drug for a kitten, we need to consider the safety, effectiveness, and ease of use of the drug. It is recommended to choose a deworming drug that has been recommended by a veterinarian, has a reliable brand, and has safe ingredients. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the dosage and frequency of use of the drug to avoid unnecessary harm to the cat.
3. Steps and skills of in vitro deworming
1.Prepare tools and medicines: Prepare the necessary insect repellent medications, gloves, towels, etc., to ensure safety and hygiene during operation.
2.Choose the right time: When performing in vitro deworming of kittens, it is best to choose a day with sunny weather and moderate temperatures. Avoid doing it on rainy or cold weather to avoid catching a cold or causing other health problems.
3.Grooming your cat: Before deworming, comb your cat's hair with a comb to remove dead skin, dirt and unwanted hair for better access to the drug**.
4.Apply anthelmintic medication: Apply deworming medication evenly to areas such as the neck, back and tail of the cat, taking care to avoid contact with the cat's eyes, nose and mouth. Apply gently and quickly to avoid discomfort for cats.
5.Observe your cat's reaction: After applying the drug, closely observe your cat's reaction. If your cat experiences discomfort, redness, swelling, or an allergic reaction, you should stop using it immediately and consult a veterinarian.
4. Care and precautions after deworming
1.Keep the environment clean: After deworming, clean the cat's living environment regularly, including the cat bed, litter box, eating utensils, etc. Keeping the environment clean and hygienic helps prevent the breeding and spread of parasites.
2.Avoid contact with other pets: After deworming, kittens should avoid contact with other pets to avoid contracting the parasite. If you have other pets in your home, you should make sure they are also dewormed accordingly.
3.Regular deworming: To ensure the health of your kittens, it is recommended to deworm them regularly. The specific deworming cycle should be adjusted according to the drug instructions and veterinary advice.
