The problem with parasites is widespread and quite serious. Worms or helminths are parasitic worms that cause parasitic diseases (helminthoses) in humans and animals. Eggs of worms can be found in grass, soil, raw meat and fish. Domestic cats that do not come into contact with the street can also get infected by eggs brought by a person on their shoes.
Parasites are very dangerous. They live in the body, feed on lymph and release substances that cause intoxication. Therefore, they must be fought with. One of the effective anthelmintic preparations is Prazitsid.
Application of Prasicide
The use of Prasicides is prescribed for preventive and therapeutic purposes by cats against round and tapeworms, as well as mixed invasions. Compliance with diet and laxatives before giving the drug is not required, in fact, as well as during its use. Prasicides are given to animals during morning feeding at the rate of one tablet per three kilograms of weight. A week after the first application of the drug, the procedure is recommended to be repeated, because a small number of eggs or small parasites could remain in the body. And with suspicion of a large number of worms, Prasicides are used for the third time, alternating fifteen days.
How does Prasicide work?
When administered internally, the tablet is rapidly absorbed and distributed in the organs and tissues of the animal. In parasites, the action of the pill causes paralysis, after which they are excreted from the body in an unchanged form along with the urine and feces.
Overdose with Prasicide
The use of Prasicides should be approached with caution. Tablets by degree of exposure are classified as moderately hazardous substances. If taken in accordance with the instructions, they are absolutely safe. And with a significant overdose of Prasicides in cats, there may be lethargy, refusal of food, frustration and excessive salivation. So be vigilant and do not overdo it with the dose. Remember the main rule of the doctor - do no harm.
