Cats have to deworm from childhood. Deworming is divided into internal deworming and external deworming. However, after cats deworming external deworming, they can easily lick it. So what happens if cats lick it when they deworm it externally?
Cats lick the external deworming medicine may experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, drowsiness, and dizziness. It is recommended that the owner observe the situation after the cat licks the external deworming medicine. If there are obvious symptoms of poisoning such as vomiting, mental depression, and weakness in the limbs, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for emergency treatment immediately, induce vomiting, accelerate fluid metabolism, etc. If the cat licks the external deworming medicine and does not make any abnormalities, it is recommended to continue to observe and not take it lightly.
Generally speaking, if the external deworming medicine is a drop, as long as the owner's drip position is not licked by the cat, then the owner does not have to care about the cat's licking hair. If the cat can lick it at the drop, the owner can wait half an hour before removing the Elizabeth circle for the cat. If it is a spray anti-worming medicine, it is recommended to wear Elizabethan rings for 1-2 hours for the cat.
First, if the amount of licking is small, it is recommended that the owner consult the pet doctor in time to induce vomiting for the cat, and then closely observe the cat's condition. Secondly, if the cat licks a lot, it is necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital for gastric lavage, enema, and infusion for treatment to prevent excessive repellent from entering the cat's blood, causing the cat to be poisoned.
When deworming cats externally, it is best to drip them where the cat cannot lick them. It is generally recommended to drip them on the back of the cat's neck or back. At the same time, the cat needs to be worn with an Elizabethan ring to prevent cats from licking and getting poisoned by drugs.
