Fleas are a headache for many cat owners. Pet owners often find fleas suddenly appearing on small cats. What about this situation? Is there any good solution? These two methods can be used together. Today, the editor will introduce them to you.
1. Physical flea removal
For very young kittens, the safest way is to physically remove fleas. So it is recommended that kittens who are less than 8 weeks old can use a dense comb to comb their hair so that the fleas will get stuck on the comb, and then tape them with tape and put them in detergent to kill them. However, the owner should also be careful not to crush the flea you catch with your hands. After simply crushing the flea, the insect eggs in its body will fly out, which may still cause the cat to be infected by fleas.
2. Use external deworming drugs to remove fleas
If the kitten weighs more than one kilogram and is over three months old, it can use external deworming drugs to remove fleas. When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the instruction manual of the deworming medicine, make sure that the little cat has reached the age of use, and use it as required. However, if the kitten is a kitten less than three months old or weighs less than one kilogram, you need to go to a professional pet hospital and choose appropriate antiworming medicine and appropriate doses to drive away fleas under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Clean the environment and remove insects. Because fleas are highly contagious, the environment and items that the little cats live in and contact with need to be thoroughly disinfected. You can spray some anti-worming sprays that specialize in killing fleas, such as choosing an external spray containing non-prednis, which can effectively kill flea eggs and fleas in the environment. If there are other cats at home, deworming measures are also needed.
Note: Generally, small cats can start deworming at six weeks of age, do external deworming once a month, do internal deworming once a month, and do internal deworming once a month, and do not take a bath for one week after using the deworming medicine.
