Almost each of us has one or more pets, cats, furry, tender and loyal friends. They decorate our house with their presence, bring home a feeling of comfort, warmth, give us their selfless love and endless attention. It's nice to come home and, sitting on your favorite couch, pick up your tender four-legged friend in your arms, stroke him on the soft fluffy fur and hear a grateful purr. It’s good when your pet is healthy and happy, but when a disaster happens and the cat becomes ill, she needs more attention and care. A number of possible feline diseases include the following: skin diseases, invasion of external parasites - fleas, ticks, lice, lice, respiratory system diseases, digestive ailments, often eye diseases and more. Another unpleasant disease in cats is infection with worms. It is necessary to treat such animals without fail. Parasites can lead to exhaustion and even death. Worm in animals is considered a disease caused by parasitic cestodes, nematodes and trematodes in the animal’s body. Some types of worms are dangerous both for all types of animals, and for us humans. Therefore, if worms are found in cats, treatment should be started immediately.
Your furry friend can become infected with parasites by eating raw meat, fish, and sometimes get them from unscrupulous people. All cats are predators, and therefore in the life of many of them a great place is occupied by hunting for birds, insects, and among them - the carrier of diseases, the fly. Often it is she who infects our cats with the larvae of future worms.
This is a very serious threat to health - worms. Treatment in cats of this disease is a painstaking process. First you need to determine the presence of worms, simply by examining the animal's feces. In kittens, signs of the disease can appear with dull hair, a bloated stomach, poor appetite, and diarrhea. In adults, signs are much more difficult to recognize.
The question of how to get rid of worms in cats is very serious. Before starting treatment, you need to make sure your pet has no fleas. They are the carriers of many types of worms.
Since there are no such agents that could immediately kill the larvae of helminths, you will need to take a twice-daily medication with an interval of about 10 to 15 days.
Nowadays, there is a huge selection of drugs to rid a cat of this type of parasite. Among them are tablets Drontal, Dirofen and Febtal, Kanikvantel, Cystal Kat and Panakur. They can be purchased at any specialized pet store. It is strongly not recommended to buy medicines in the markets. They may be substandard or expired. In addition to tablets, suspensions can also be used. They are sold separately for adult cats and kittens. You can ask your veterinarian or specialized pharmacy about the effects of a particular medicine.
Worms in cats, the treatment of which is necessary throughout the life of the animal, will not cause discomfort if you take care of this.
Preventive treatment for worms must be carried out at least twice a year. You need to do this even if your pet lives in sterile conditions and does not see the street. Before any vaccination, it is important to check whether cats have worms. Treatment is necessary, otherwise the animal can get a serious complication. In the event that you have more than one cat living in your house or yard, but there is another living creature, then prevention and treatment are mandatory for everyone.
Remember: we are responsible for those who have tamed. If suddenly worms are found in cats, treatment is carried out in accordance with the instructions attached to the drug that you are using.
Do not neglect the health of your friend, and he will give you his love and devotion for many years.
