What to do if your cat is poisoned by flea shampoo?

The reason that a cat was poisoned by anti-ectoparasite shampoo may be:

• getting the drug into the respiratory system or digestive tract;
• frequent use of the product, which has led to the accumulation of toxic substances in the body;
• individual intolerance to shampoo components.

Toxic substances that reach it through the milk of a mother treated for parasites can cause severe poisoning in a kitten.

The following signs may indicate poisoning:

• sudden attack of weakness;
• apathy;
• unsteadiness of gait;
• salivation;
• dilated pupils;
• vomit;
• pallor or cyanosis of visible mucous membranes;
• violation of movement coordination.

In case of mild poisoning caused by accidental ingestion of a small amount of shampoo, you can give the cat any adsorbent (white carbon, atoxil, enterosgel) and provide a sufficient amount of clean water. In the absence of vomiting, it can be induced by placing a pinch of salt on the root of the animal's tongue.

If the measures taken do not help, urgent hospitalization of the pet is necessary.

How to properly wash a kitten with flea shampoo

For most cats, close contact with water is extremely stressful. In order not to traumatize the kitten’s psyche, you need to prepare:

Periodically place the baby in a dry bath

To speed up addiction, place your favorite toys nearby. When the pet gets comfortable, carefully open the tap. If the baby is afraid, calm him down and stroke him gently. For patience and courage, reward your pet with a treat... Do not raise your voice or use physical force

The kitten will develop negative associations. Then in the future it will be almost impossible to wash it

You cannot raise your voice or use physical force. The kitten will develop negative associations. Then in the future it will be almost impossible to wash it.

For bathing you will need a small plastic basin. Your pet will feel more comfortable in it than in a huge bathtub. Place a rubber or silicone mat on the bottom to prevent the paws from slipping. As a last resort, use a terry towel.

Warm water is poured into another container so as not to rinse the baby from a tap or shower, but to water it from a ladle or mug. A powerful jet of water can frighten your pet.

Place the shampoo at arm's length, remove the lid in advance - when there is a trembling lump nearby, there will be absolutely no time to mess with it. The dosage is calculated according to the instructions depending on the baby’s weight.

Also, towels and treats are immediately brought to the bathroom. The first ones will be needed to quickly dry your pet, the second ones – to reward for good behavior. Other items that the baby may drop or break are removed away.

Before washing the kitten, you should comb its fur and untangle the tangles. It is better to put cotton wool in your ears to prevent moisture from entering.

After all the preparations, proceed directly to washing:

Water is poured into the basin to approximately the level of the baby’s chest. Its temperature should be +38…+40 °C. Place the pet in a basin and wet the fur. Let the baby grab the side - it will be calmer for him. To prevent the cat from running away, you gently hold it with your hand. The first few times it is better to wash the kitten with an assistant. To protect yourself from sharp claws and teeth, it is better to turn your pet with its back to you. The required amount of shampoo is squeezed onto your hand, lightly rubbed in your palms, then applied to the fur and distributed with massage movements. The neck is treated first to prevent fleas from escaping to the head.

It is important that the product does not get into your eyes and ears - it can cause irritation. The fur coat is left soaped for the time specified in the instructions. During the process, they talk to the pet in a gentle voice so that it does not get nervous. Rinse the shampoo thoroughly with water.

The muzzle is wiped with a damp hand to prevent water from getting into the ears. The fur is carefully squeezed out with your hands, and the kitten is wrapped in a towel. As soon as the fabric gets wet, change it to dry. You should not vigorously rub the animal - the fur will become very tangled. If the room is dry and warm, the baby is released to dry on his own. Otherwise, dry the pet with a hairdryer at minimum power and at the same time comb the fur in the direction of growth.

When the fur coat is dry, the kitten is carefully examined, parting the fur. Dead fleas are combed out and thrown away. If there are live animals left, you will have to wash your pet again after the time specified in the instructions.

Animals that are terrified of water procedures can be washed with dry shampoo. It is a powder that is applied against the growth of the coat. Then the pet is combed to remove any remaining product and dead fleas.

However, such drugs are best used in emergency cases. For example, after direct contact with an infected animal, when it is not possible to wash the baby. Dry shampoos do not clean the coat as thoroughly, and if you do not brush them well, your pet runs the risk of swallowing the residue when licking.

How do flea drops work?

Many owners are interested in how flea drops work. The mechanism of action of the drug depends on the active ingredients. Common flea drops eliminate parasites in several ways:

• Disturbance of nervous activity - the flea drinks blood, after which paralysis and death occurs.
• Contact action - the poison penetrates the body of the parasite through direct contact.
• Repellent effect - some flea drops do not kill, but only repel parasites with their smell.

How often should I treat my kitten for fleas?

How often do you treat a kitten for fleas as a preventive measure? According to generally accepted rules, preventive treatment against parasites is carried out quarterly. The period is considered optimal to interrupt the reproduction cycle of most parasites.

If a cat is infested with fleas, treatment is carried out outside the schedule. If infection is repeated, it is recommended to change the drops, since their protective effect should protect the kitten from 4 to 8 weeks (depending on the drug). Shampoos and some flea sprays do not have a prolonged action, that is, they kill fleas “here and now,” but the very next day the kitten can “pick up” fleas again.

When can you wash your kitten after applying the drops?

When can I wash my kitten after flea treatment? Typically, this information is indicated in the instructions for the drops. The absorption time of the drops depends on the base of the drug. oil drops cannot be washed off for 4–5 days; water-based preparations are absorbed faster, in 1–2 days.
