Deworming is usually carried out when the cat is 2 months old. It is generally divided into external deworming and internal deworming. The interval between external deworming is 3 to 6 months. The specific deworming time is determined according to the environment in which the cat lives. It mainly removes fleas, lice, mites and other external parasites. Internal deworming is divided into two stages: deworming at 3-month intervals for children under 1 year old, and at 6-month intervals for children over 1 year old. It mainly removes tapeworms, roundworms and other parasites in the digestive system.

What should be paid attention to when deworming cats:

1. Deworm cats should be dewormed regularly, about once a month or so. Cats are the final host of many parasites. Depending on the type of parasite, the growth cycle may be half a month, or even as short as a week, so deworming once a month is absolutely necessary.

2. Pay attention to the cat’s mental state after deworming. After deworming, some cats with weak stomachs and poor physical constitution will have symptoms such as vomiting, lack of energy and even fever. Generally, these symptoms will get better in 1 to 2 days. If this situation persists for several days, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. Consult a doctor.

3. Do not use flea collars for external deworming. Most flea collars are made of dichlorvos, which is highly toxic and very harmful to cats.
