Tablets "Tsestal" for cats - an excellent remedy against worms

Perhaps, one of the most common problems with the health of pets, in particular cats, are worms. If they are not treated for a long time, they cause serious pathologies and chronic diseases in your pets.

Every careful and caring owner needs to periodically treat animals from helminths in order to exclude the development of parasites in the animal's organism and to save all people living with him under one roof from the risk of being infected by unpleasant "spongers".

This will help popular anthelmintic means in Russia - "Tsestal" for cats. We will talk about its impact on the animal's organism and the rules of application today.

How does the infection of cats helminths

Cats that do not go outside usually get infected with worms, eating raw fish (especially river fish) or meat. A fairly serious source of infection can be flies, which are often hunted home "predators." No less high is the risk of infection through dirty shoes or tops of the owners.

Due to the fact that the worm larvae on the street are almost everywhere, they can easily find themselves in the apartment and deliver both you and your fluffy miracle a lot of trouble.

What is the drug "Tsestal" for cats?

If your pet persistently squeezes the booty over the carpet or the floor, her appetite worsened, and the coat becomes dull, then the reason is probably the infection with worms.

In order not to treat the animal from each type of parasites (and they are known at present more than eighty), the combined agent "Tsestal" for cats was invented. Reviews of owners of cats confirm its high efficiency.

Tablets of light yellow color of the round form with a dividing stripe in the middle have a wide spectrum of action, thanks to the components:

• Prazikvantel (50 mg) - a substance effective against tapeworms, cestodes, not only sexually mature individuals, but also larvae;
• Pyrantel pamoate (144 mg) - is active against nematodes and strongylatoses. (By the way, it should be added that the slow absorption of this substance causes its prolonged action, and this allows to increase the effectiveness of the action on the nematodes.)

For animals, this drug is low in toxicity and well tolerated at recommended doses.

Method of application of the preparation "Tsestal" for cats: instruction

The described tablets should be used both as a remedy and for the purpose of preventing helminthic invasion. In the latter case, this is done every three months.

Treatment with the same remedy can be started in kittens from the age of three weeks. Both children and adults should take it twice in one day, then, after two weeks, two more tablets per day. Depending on the weight of the animal, the drug is prescribed in the following doses:

• Up to 1 kg - 1/4 tablets;
• From 1 to 2 kg - 1/2 tablet,
• From 2 to 4 kg - 1 tablet;
• From 4 to 7 kg - 2 tablets.

How to make a cat swallow a medicine?

The drug is given to the cat in the morning with a small amount of food or dissolved in water until a suspension is obtained and injected into the mouth with a pipette or syringe.

You can give a pill forcibly. To do this, the fingers are pushed between the teeth of the animal from the side of the cheeks, open the mouth, put the tablet on the root of the tongue, and then, holding the cat's closed mouth with one hand, stroke it down the neck, from top to bottom, thus prompting a swallowing movement.

Contraindications

The drug is not used for kittens until three weeks of age, it is not recommended to take "Tsestal" tablets for cats together with piperazine-containing substances.

In animals with hypersensitivity to the components of the drug may develop an allergic reaction.

In what other cases is the medication taken?

Veterinarians recommend that cats be treated with anthelmintic remedy for two weeks before vaccination. The fact is that any routine vaccination is a microdose of the virus, which contributes to the development of resistance to the animal's organism. This leads to a slight, but still weakening of the body, and if it is already weakened by parasites like worms, the results of the vaccination can be negative.

Before knitting (about ten days before), your pet should also be given a medicine for worms. If the future mother is not treated on time, it can subsequently provoke a miscarriage.
