What medicine is good for cats to use for external deworming? Generally speaking, it is better for cats to use drugs containing ceramectin, imidacloprid and other ingredients in external deworming. First of all, cats need to be dewormed regularly during daily life, and cats should not be bathed for three days before and after external deworming. Secondly, cats’ external deworming drugs are mostly drops, and they need to push their hair away and drip on the skin to better exert their efficacy. It is recommended to wear an Elizabethan ring on the cat to prevent licking after using external deworming drugs.
1. External deworming time
The frequency of cats with external deworming is once a month. If it is a parasite, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of going out during the season. There are many precautions for cats after deworming externally, such as reducing the frequency of taking the cat out to avoid the cat being infected with parasites; for example, the cat's environment and utensils need to be disinfected and cleaned and replaced regularly; for example, after deworming, cats have to wait for about four days, and then take a bath after the medicine is absorbed, etc.
2. Precautions for external deworming
Generally, the following things need to be paid attention to: First, if it is a spray of external deworming medicine, it is best to put an Elizabethan ring on the cat after it is used by the owner, and then remove it for the cat after the hair is naturally air-dried to avoid poisoning after the cat is licked; then, the owner cannot bathe the cat within 3 days after the cat is dewormed, so as not to affect the effect of the deworming medicine. If it is an oral external deworming medicine, the owner only needs to make sure the cat swallows the deworming medicine into the body.
If you are a multi-pet family, it is best not to let other pets or people touch the location where the medicine is applied within 3 days after taking the medicine to prevent poisoning after accidentally taking it. As a therapeutic external deworming, the place where the animals live should be cleaned and disinfected after medication, and the area should be cleaned again after 48 hours.
