Deworming pet cats mainly involves two types of parasites: endoparasites (such as roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and heartworms) and ectoparasites (such as fleas, ticks, and ear mites). Here are some commonly used deworming methods:
Internal parasites
1. Oral anthelmintics: Common internal anthelmintics include tablets and liquid drugs, which can target one or more internal parasites.
2. Injections: Sometimes veterinarians will recommend injections to get rid of certain types of parasites.
3. Regular deworming: Depending on the age, living environment and health status of the pet cat, the veterinarian will recommend a regular deworming schedule.
4. Regular fecal examination: In order to ensure the effectiveness of deworming measures, regular fecal examination should be performed to detect parasite eggs.
ectoparasites
1. Spray/Infusion: Spray or drip specifically targeted at fleas and ticks can be applied directly to the cat’s body surface to help prevent and treat ectoparasites.
2. Medicated bath: Using insecticides to soak or giving cats a medicated bath can effectively remove external parasites.
3. Physical pest removal: For example, use a flea comb to comb the cat's hair regularly to physically remove fleas and eggs.
4. Environmental control: Clean the cat’s living environment and clean the cat’s nest, mattress and toys regularly. Using environmental sprays can help eliminate parasites and their eggs.
5. Avoid contact sources: Try to avoid contact between pet cats and animals or environments infected with parasites.
6. Environmental temperature control: Fleas multiply rapidly in warm and humid environments. Keeping your home dry, clean, and ventilated can help control the number of external parasites.
General advice
Consult your veterinarian: Before deworming your cat, it’s best to consult your veterinarian for advice on your pet’s specific needs.
Be safe: Make sure the deworming product you use is suitable for cats. Cats can be allergic or even toxic to certain medications (especially those designed for dogs).
Follow-up treatment: Even if the parasites appear to have cleared, your veterinarian's recommended treatment regimen should be followed to ensure complete elimination of all parasites and their eggs.
Deworming is not only relevant to the health of your pet, but also to the health of the pet owner and family members, as certain pet parasites can infect humans. Therefore, it is important to keep deworming regularly.
