Generally speaking, 45 to 60 days after the birth of the kitten, we can deworm the cat. You can go to the drugstore to buy deworming medicine yourself, or you can choose to go to a regular hospital to let the vet do the treatment. The first three dewormings for cats are once a month.
In the latter case, if it has been kept at home without going out, once every three months will be fine, of course, if it often goes out and comes into contact with stray cats, dirt, etc., it is still possible to deworm it once a month.
If you don’t go out at home, we people do go out, and it is possible to bring back parasites or eggs, which can infect the kitten, and this is when we need to watch carefully, and if the cat shows signs of infection with parasites, it is important to consult a doctor.
Deworming precautions for kittens: bathe your cat before deworming in vitro, dry completely and then dot the deworming medicine on the back of the cat’s neck where it can’t be licked, and don’t bathe your cat again until the deworming medicine has worn off.
The internal deworming of cats should be carried out 3~4 hours after the cats have eaten their food, and fasting for 5 or 6 hours after feeding the deworming medicine to ensure the effect of the medicine.
If the kitten already has parasites, even if it is only 1 month old, it needs to be dewormed with a special deworming drug, commonly found in stray cats, and it is important to consult a veterinarian in a timely manner in order to avoid injury to the cat from operational errors.
