Veterinary spray Bars insectoacaricidal for cats and dogs: instructions for use

Doses and method of administration

Animals are treated outdoors or in a well-ventilated room with open windows (vents), away from open fire, after removing cages with ornamental birds from the room and covering aquariums with fish. To prevent licking of the drug, the animal is put on a muzzle or the jaws are secured with a loop of braid. Before use, shake the bottle with the drug and, holding it vertically, press the spray head, directing the aerosol torch at the surface to be treated from a distance of 20 - 25 cm. To destroy insects and prevent attacks on animals by ixodid ticks, spray the entire body of the animal against hair growth, slightly moisturizing the fur (in animals with long-haired breeds, the fur is lifted with your hand). Covering the animal's eyes, treat the ears and chest, lightly rub the drug around the eyes and nose with your fingertips, then treat the neck, torso, limbs, belly and tail. 20 minutes after treatment, the animal’s fur is combed with a comb, after which the animal’s jaws are freed from the muzzle (braid). To destroy ixodid ticks on the body of an animal, the drug is applied to the tick and the place of its attachment to the skin (one press on the spray head). If within 20 - 30 minutes the tick does not fall off spontaneously, it is carefully pulled out with tweezers and destroyed. For preventive purposes, treatments are carried out according to indications, but no more than once a month against insects and no more than once every fourteen days against ixodid ticks (during the season of their parasitism). In order to prevent re-infestation by fleas, bedding, blankets and other animal care items are treated with a spray at the rate of 2 ml (four presses on the spray head) per 1 m2 of surface to be treated. For three days, the animal is not allowed to come into contact with the treated items, and before subsequent use, they are washed (washed) with detergent. When cats are affected by notoedrosis, and dogs are affected by sarcoptic mange, the drug is applied to the affected areas of the body, previously cleared of stools, covering the borderline healthy skin up to 1 cm. Treatment with the drug is carried out, slightly moisturizing the affected areas, 2 - 4 times with an interval of 7 - 10 days until the animal’s clinical recovery , which is confirmed by two negative results of acarological studies. Animals with large affected areas are treated in two doses with an interval of 1 day, applying the drug to the affected areas of first one and then the other half of the body. Until the fur is completely dry after treatment, animals should not be allowed to lick the preparation, nor should they be allowed near open fires or heating devices. In case of increased individual sensitivity of animals to the drug (lacrimation, excessive salivation, muscle tremors) or signs of skin irritation, the drug should be washed off with soap and water.

Composition and pharmacological properties.

Contains fipronil as an active ingredient.

Fipronil has a pronounced contact and intestinal insectoacaricidal effect on the larval and mature phases of development of fleas, lice, lice, ixodid and sarcoptic ticks that parasitize dogs, cats, ferrets and decorative rodents.

After spraying the skin and hair of an animal, fipronil is gradually distributed over the entire surface of the body and, practically without being absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, accumulates in the epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands, providing a long-term contact insectoacaricidal effect, providing protection for animals from repeated insect attacks for at least 1 month , from ixodid ticks - at least 2 weeks.

Why are fleas and ticks dangerous?

Fleas are parasitic insects that feed on the blood and scales of animal skin. These small creatures (about 1 mm) move by jumping along the fur, lay eggs on their host, from which larvae emerge, which soon transform into adults. Insects are extremely resistant to adverse environmental factors - they survive in heat and cold, and can go without food for a long time. When fighting parasites, you will have to treat not only the animal itself, but also thoroughly clean its bedding, personal belongings, and vacuum the floors, carpets, and walls in the room. Flea bites cause itching and irritation; insect saliva often provokes allergic reactions in cats and dogs. There is also a risk of contracting typhoid, plague, salmonellosis, and hepatitis. Fleas are especially dangerous for young animals - puppies and kittens can suffer from anemia, be weakened, and have trouble gaining weight. Fleas often cause pets to become infected with internal parasites - helminths, whose eggs they feed in the external environment.

Ticks are no less dangerous to pets than fleas. A cat or dog can pick up an insect while walking on the grass or lawn, in the country or in nature. The parasite digs into the skin and sucks the pet’s blood, secretes saliva, through which it can infect the pet with dangerous diseases: borreliosis, anaplasmosis, encephalitis and others. Dogs can also get piroplasmosis, which can be fatal.

Restrictions

While the cat is feeding kittens, this product cannot be used.
