Many people just raise cats for the first time, there will always be a brain to go to the Internet to learn the experience, but the specific details, practice and will not, the first step of picking up the cat, deworming first, most people raise cat shovelers have a misunderstanding, feel that their own clean, so the deworming is often two or three times a year, feel very safe, I want to say no, the cat must be diligently dewormed, and to catch from the doll, basically 2-3 months to do the first deworming, especially internal repulsion, but the frequency of use of different brands of internal repellent drugs is not the same, some once a month , some once in March.
Next I will introduce the differences and frequencies of use of several common deworming drug brands in the world
Let's be clear: cats are easily infected with parasites in the body, and even if your cat never goes out, it is difficult to resist the pervasive bugs. Long-term infection with parasites can cause your cat to be malnourished, emaciated, have poor appetite, poor fur, diarrhea, and enteritis pneumonia, invading internal organs and organs causing failure and even death. Toxoplasma gondii, roundworms, tapeworms and cryptosporidium can also be transmitted to humans. Therefore, it is essential to do in-body deworming!!!
If that's the case, let's buy insect repellents, right?! Don't rush to pay for it, as mentioned above, different brands of insect repellents have different frequencies of use, and the types of bugs that can be used are also different. Therefore, in order to choose a suitable deworming drug scientifically and reasonably, you must first understand what are the common internal parasites in cats (a face of professionalism)
Introduction of common in vivo parasites and infection routes (because the insects in the large picture are too scary, I am worried about causing discomfort to everyone, only put the small picture to introduce)
1
Describe the routes of infection in a common order:
1. Roundworms: infected by stuttering into eggs, such as contact with contaminated feces, or transmission of breast milk from the mother cat to kittens;
2. Tapeworm: The cat will eat the tapeworm-infected fleas in the process of licking the hair, which will cause the cat to be infected with tapeworms;
3. Coccidiosis: Cats eat food or water contaminated with coccidiosis and are directly infected
4. Pear-shaped flagella: Cats are infected with pear-shaped worms when they come into contact with infected feces, contaminated water and food
5. Hookworm: The route is through the mouth and skin, infectious larvae can directly pass through the unspoiled skin and pores and invade the body
6. Heartworm: The main transmission route is mosquito bites
7. Liver flukes: cats are infected by swallowing raw fish, shrimp or uncooked fish and shrimp containing cysticers
8. Eye worms: flies lick the eyes of suckers, and then lick and suck other animals or people to constitute transmission
9. Toxoplasma gondii: Any animal that eats toxoplasma gondii's cyst, egg sac or live body can be infected and suffer from toxoplasmosis
(I will briefly introduce the infection path of each bug, and the shovelers who want to understand clearly can baidu)
The above is the more common body parasites and infection routes, after listening to the actual is still a little afraid of is not, especially some bugs will also be transmitted to people. Therefore, be sure to repel insects diligently. Next, I will introduce you to how to choose the appropriate internal deworming drug to ensure the safety of the master and servant.
Common cat internal repellents on the market: Hai Le Miao (internal and external driving), cat Bayer (internal drive), Remigao (internal drive), d800 (internal drive), big pet (internal and external drive), Bollon (internal and external drive), Efok (internal and external drive)
So many anthelmintic drugs, which one is better?
There are indeed many kinds, and not only the price and reputation are different, but even the types of insect repellents of each brand are different. But don't be afraid, I have specially prepared an insect repellent atlas table, and the shovelers can choose the corresponding insect repellent according to the situation of their masters.
Although many manufacturers claim to drive both inside and outside, in fact, in order to cover the most complete internal and external parasites, relying on one drug alone is definitely not enough. I recommend the following scenarios for you:
Scheme 1: Big Pet (once a month for external drive) + Hai Le Miao (once in March for internal drive) + d800 (once in March for Coccidia)
Advantages: cost-effective, extensive insect repellent atlas, big pampering and haile miao are relatively safe, not afraid of licking and even if used in excess, there will be no side effects
Cons: Hailemiao needs to be separated from the vaccine by one week. d800 is poor palatability, and many cats will foam bitterly if the feeding technique is poor
Option 2: Ewoke (once a month for external drive) + Remigao (once in March for internal drive) + d800 (once in March)
Advantages: Evoker has a strong inhibitory effect on roundworms in vivo, and Remigao has a significant effect on uncommon lung flukes, trichinella and worms
Disadvantages: The unit price of The Avok is higher, and Remy Gao is not very friendly to kittens
Scenario 3: Bollion (once a month for external drive) + Bayer (once a month for internal drive) + d800 (once in March)
Advantages: Bo lai en can drive away ticks, ticks must have been heard of by many people, very terrible blood-sucking bugs, often lurking in the grass, so this program is more suitable for people who often like to walk cats. Bayer's unit price is low, and the price of the whole program is advantageous
Disadvantages: Bayer as a basic deworming drug (generally pet stores send deworming are Bayer) can only drive away a small number of species of internal parasites to meet the basic internal drive needs, not comprehensive enough
Finally, how can the d800 have it everywhere? Because the mechanism of action of expelling coccidiosis is different, there are only three kinds of more common coccidiosis drugs on the market: baiqiuqing (expensive and not recommended), happy brown sugar (not recommended for negative news), d800 in addition to palatability is almost good. So d800 is recommended for each scheme. (Cats infected with coccidioides will bleed in the stool, when encountering blood in the stool, first see if the cat's is particularly hard, if not particularly hard then you should drive away the coccidiosis)
In summary, the three options have their own advantages, the best way is to use several drugs interspersed and alternate, which can ensure that the cat reaches the most ideal deworming effect within a certain time frame.
In addition, even if the hygiene is done well, it is difficult to resist the invasion of insects without taking insect repellents. What's more, many cats will go to bed, lick their hair in all corners of the house, and even steal water from their owners' cups. Therefore, for the common health of you and the cat, be sure to deworm regularly.
Cat repellent precautions
1. The dosage of cat repellent
Anthelmintic drugs are toxic, so be sure to feed according to the requirements on the instructions, especially domestic deworming drugs, before taking the drug must weigh the cat, according to the weight to calculate the dose that should be eaten. Sometimes there are a lot of medicines left, and if you feel wasted, you can feed them to stray cats.
2. Preparation before and after cat deworming
Cats should take a bath before deworming in vitro, dry completely and then put the repellent on the back of the cat's neck where they can't be licked, and don't bathe the cat before the deworming drug is ineffective.
Cats should be dewormed in vivo to ensure the effect of the drug after the cat has eaten food for 3 to 4 hours, and after feeding the deworming drug, fasting for 5 or 6 hours to ensure the effect of the drug.
3, in vitro deworming must not use the kind added to the bath water
The skin structure of cats is very special, toxic substances can penetrate into the body through the skin, and cats have the habit of licking hair, so if you use that kind of insect repellent, it will cause the cat to die of poisoning.
4. Do not use flea collars for in vitro insect repellent
Most flea collars are made of dichlorvos, which is more toxic and very harmful to cats.
5. Pay attention to observe the feces of the cat after deworming
A few days after deworming, there will usually be dead parasites and eggs excreted with the stool, if there are symptoms of strain, it is best to consult a doctor.
6. Pay attention to observing the mental state of the cat after deworming
After deworming, some of the weak stomach, poor physique of the cat will appear vomiting, lack of energy and even fever and other symptoms, generally this symptom 1 to 2 days can get better, if it lasts for a few days, it is best to consult a doctor.
