The cat’s physique is weak and parasitic infection poses a significant threat to the cat’s health. After many people bring their cats home, they don’t know when to deworm the cat and if there is anything to pay attention to in deworming the cat. The editor has sorted out the deworming time of kittens and the precautions for deworming kittens, which parents can use as a reference.
Deworming time for kittens: Generally speaking, when the cat is 45 to 60 days after birth, we can deworm the cat ourselves. We can go to the pharmacy to buy deworming medicine, or we can choose to go to a regular hospital to have the pet doctor deal with it.
The first three times the cat is dewormed is once a month. Later, if the family cannot go out for a long time, once every three months will do. I often go out and contact stray cats, soil, etc., and I deworm once a month.
Precautions for deworming kittens: The cat should take a bath before deworming in vitro and then put the dewormer on the back of the cat’s neck where it can’t be licked. Do not bathe the cat until it expires. For cat deworming, it is necessary to fast for 5 or 6 hours after the cat has eaten food for 3 to 4 hours and after feeding the deworming medicine to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine.
It should be noted that if the mother cat itself has infectious parasites in her body, the kittens that may be born may also have them. Therefore, we must deworm the kittens in time and prevent contact with the source of infection.
We must pay attention when deworming kittens because cats are different in age or weight, and their specific dosage is also different, so we should follow the doctor’s advice and not overdo it.
When giving medicine to kittens, we should also examine whether the cat overreacts to the medicine in advance. If there is an overreaction, you need to take medicine under the doctor’s specific instructions.
Since some intestinal parasites, such as roundworms, may be ingested or transmitted by other organisms (such as fleas, mosquitoes, etc.), and kittens in the same litter like to lick each other, kittens must be regularly Deworming. Adult cats may use scent as a guide to socialize, meet friends, and inevitably touch the secretions or excrement left by other dogs on the grass with their tongues, which will infect parasites.
If parents don’t know how to deworm their kittens, they can first consult an experienced friend or a professional veterinarian and ask them to help deworm cats scientifically.
