2. Refer to the steps of deworming in the hospital

After determining the time for deworming, we are ready to start. What are the steps for deworming? In order to have the same professionalism as a pet hospital, of course we have to refer to the practices of the pet hospital.

1. Inquiry stage

First of all, the doctor will ask the pet's age and feeding time to determine whether it has reached the standard of deworming, and ensure that the pet is in good health and mental state before deworming.

Secondly, the doctor will understand the living environment of pets, such as whether there are other pets in the home, whether they have been dewormed before, and whether they go out often.

Next, it is to measure the basic body condition: body temperature, weight, heart rate, respiration.

In addition, the pet's skin, mucous membranes and hair will be carefully checked to see if there are obvious bugs and eggs, and whether the skin has obvious hair loss, scaling, redness, etc.

2. Deworming stage

After the preliminary diagnosis is completed, the veterinary hospital officially enters the step of deworming. The key point is to start immediately, be sure to watch it carefully!

Soothing: Soothe the pet's emotions and ensure that the pet is in a calm state when deworming.

Quantitative: After the shovel officer selects the dewormer, the doctor will take the corresponding dose according to the body weight and medication specifications.

Medication: Common deworming drugs are mostly drops, tablets or meat pellets. This results in different methods of deworming.

When using the drops, it is necessary to spread the hair and drop it on the skin. Generally, the medicine is dropped on the back of the neck to prevent the pet from scratching and licking the medicine.

For tablets, the doctor will use a medicine feeder or a professional method to feed them, and give an appropriate amount of water after oral administration to ensure that the tablets are taken smoothly.

Observation: After using the deworming medicine, the doctor generally recommends observation for more than ten minutes, such as whether there is an allergic reaction, or if some medicine irritates the pet's stomach and vomits.

Records: If there is no adverse reaction after taking the medicine, the doctor will make a corresponding deworming record and inform the next deworming time.

3. Precautions for deworming at home

Having seen the deworming process in the pet hospital, we can imitate the whole process. What should we pay attention to when deworming at home?

1. Drug selection

First of all, make sure that the deworming medicine is a regular product, and never buy inferior deworming medicine for various reasons. It is necessary to pay attention to the formality of the purchase method. The purchased products have batch numbers and medicines have instructions for use.

In addition, it is also necessary to choose the appropriate deworming medicine according to the situation of the owner.

2, fasting

When deworming the body, be sure to fast before and after deworming. Generally, deworming is carried out 3 to 4 hours after eating food, and fasting for 5 or 6 hours after feeding the deworming medicine.

The main reason is that the deworming drugs in the body pass through the stomach and intestines, and there will be some irritation. And fasting can also achieve optimal efficacy, making deworming more effective.

3. Measure your weight

Before deworming, measure the pet's weight, and determine the dosage based on the cat's weight and the instructions for use of the medicine. Don't skip this step! If the dosage is too small, the effect of deworming will not be achieved; if the dosage is too much, it will also harm the cat itself.

For external deworming medicine, remember not to let the cat lick the medicine.

4. Method standard

Many pet owners will foam at home when they deworm their pets at home. This is because the way of feeding the medicine is wrong, which causes the pet to be irritated in the stomach and intestines during the process of taking the medicine, so they foam at the mouth. Therefore, you must pay attention to the method when self-deworming.

Drops: It needs to be absorbed through the skin. It should be dripped on the skin as much as possible, and the drops should be placed at several points, such as the neck and the base of the ears, to ensure that they are not licked by pets, and not sloppy. Insufficient dose will affect the efficacy of the drug.

Tablets: It is best for pets to take the initiative to eat them; if they don't eat them, they can be tempted to eat them by mixing them with food; two people can also help together.

Remember not to force-feed, in case you have a stress response that can backfire.

5. Watch carefully

After deworming at home, it is also necessary to observe the physical condition of the pet in time to see if the owner has any adverse reactions after taking the medicine. If the master has abnormal phenomena for a long time after taking the medicine, he must seek medical treatment in time!

6, the frequency is appropriate

You should also record the deworming date at home and formulate a deworming plan for your pet. Be sure to persevere and never give up halfway!
