Although the weather is getting cold now, pet owners must not neglect the work of deworming cats. The weather is cold, and if your cat has these characteristics, his belly may be full of bugs.
1. Frequent coughing and panting
It is normal for a cat to cough occasionally, but if it coughs frequently and gasps after a little exercise, the pet owner should pay attention. It may have been infected with Toxoplasma gondii .
Once a cat is infected with Toxoplasma gondii, it will affect its central nervous system, respiratory, vision, gastrointestinal system, etc., so pet owners must help it deworm as soon as possible.
2. Eats a lot, but does not gain weight
If your cat eats more than before, but does not gain weight, or even becomes thinner and thinner, its belly may be crawling with bugs. The bugs in the stomach absorb all the nutrients of the food, so the cat will not get fat no matter how much he eats.
3. Not pregnant, but has a big belly
If the cat is very thin but has a big belly, it excludes the possibility of pregnancy and feline transmission. It may be infected with parasites, and its belly is already full of bugs. Pet owners must put their cat's deworming work on the agenda, otherwise these bugs will damage the cat's body.
4. Always vomiting and diarrhea
It is normal for cats to vomit occasionally. Pet owners should not worry too much. But if the cat always vomits, accompanied by diarrhea, and live bugs appear in the vomit and excrement, then it is obvious that it has been infected with parasites, and its stomach may be full of bugs. If the situation is serious, the cat may also experience blood in the stool and .
5. Rubbing your butt on the ground
Never think that a cat rubbing its butt on the ground is boring or funny and laugh it off. In fact, this is a signal for help sent by your cat to you.
If the cat rubs its butt on the ground, it either has anal adenitis, and you need to squeeze its anal glands as soon as possible; or it is infected with parasites. The pet owner should peel off its fur to see if there are any black particles in the cat's fur. These are actually fleas, and other parasites, and you need to deworm it as soon as possible.
6. Dry hair and partial hair loss
If the cat’s hair was very soft and beautiful before, but the hair becomes drier and drier, and partial hair loss occurs, even though the eating habits and living environment have not changed, the cat may have been infected with parasites.
Because parasites can cause cats to suffer from malnutrition and dehydration, which will make the cat's coat quality worse, and because the parasites are on the cat's body, it may cause the cat to suffer from skin diseases, so local hair loss will occur. At this time, the cat must be dewormed as soon as possible.
