How to worm a cat: choosing the right remedy
There are many types of worm medicines for cats:
- pills;
- sugar cubes;
- suspensions;
- drops on the withers;
The tablets should be fed to the animal in pure form or mixed into food. If your cat is not too fussy, this option is fine. The most common pills are Envair, Milbemax, Troncil, Drontal and some others.
A sugar cube is a kind of healthy treat that a cat eats with pleasure, and you don’t have to worry about how to get your pet to take medicine. At the moment, Polivercan is considered the most effective “sugar” against worms.
Prazicide is a liquid suspension that can be given to an animal using a special dosing syringe. It is enough to fix the cat and pour such liquid into its mouth with a quick movement. Please note that Prazicide is produced in two types – for adult animals and for kittens.
Profender – drops that are applied to the withers of the pet. If you can’t handle the animal, it refuses both pills and sugar, try this option. It is also quite effective.
None of the listed funds can be assigned to a pet on its own. This should be done by the veterinarian. Only he will be able to choose the right medicine and choose the right dosage based on the age and weight of the cat.
