After raising a cat, if we don’t want to be in a hurry, we need to have some common sense about raising cats. It is not required to cover everything, but we must also catch the rain and dew.
Today, let’s talk about 6 signs that cats need to be “dewormed” - a must-have for cat owners
1) Cat lethargy
A cat that has always been healthy can sleep about 15 hours a day, but if your cat is always sleeping, sleeping for extended periods of time, and has no energy, if the possibility of disease is ruled out, it is very likely that the cat is infected with parasites .
2) Retching and vomiting appear
If there are hair balls or bugs in the cat's body, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and vomiting and other physiological reactions. At this time, the cat should pay attention to whether the cat has eaten the wrong thing.
3) The cat mops the floor with its butt
When your cat has abnormal behavior, such as mopping the floor with its butt and rubbing it, it is very likely that the cat has roundworms in its belly, causing itching of the cat’s butt. Mopping the floor can relieve the discomfort.
Owners can look at the cat's butt to see if there are any white objects, which may be bugs, indicating that the cat needs deworming.
4) There are bugs in the cat’s stool
If you see bugs in the stool when you shovel it, and if the stool is very smelly and soft, there is no doubt that the cat is infected with parasites.
5) Cats eat too much and don’t gain weight
If the cat has a good appetite every day and does not eat less than before, but is even thinner, it is very likely that there are parasites in the stomach, which have absorbed the nutrients in the cat’s body, causing the cat to lose weight.
At this time, remember to do a good job of deworming ~ At the same time, remember to supplement nutrition for the cat. You can give the cat an additive-free freeze-dried snack to supplement protein .
6) Rough and matte hair
If the cat’s hair loses its previous luster, becomes particularly rough when stroked, and the hair loss is severe, it is likely that the cat is infected with parasites.
Hair growth comes from protein. If the parasite eats the cat’s nutrients, the hair will not be able to absorb nutrients and grow normally.
In addition to deworming the cat, if you want the cat's hair to return to its previous beautiful luster, you also need to give the cat a cat food containing fish oil.
Precautions for deworming
First, choose the dosage according to your body weight. Too much medicine may be life-threatening.
Second, it is best to take it two hours after eating, when the medicine is more effective.
Third, if the cat does not pull out bugs for a long time, it needs to be taken again.
Fourth, if the cat vomits or has diarrhea after taking the medicine, the anthelmintic drug brand should be replaced in time.
In addition, cats generally excrete once a month and internally once every three months. You can also deworm your cat once a month, both internally and externally. Remember not to deworm your cat frequently~
