How to remove fleas and lice from a dog?
Few parasites: timely topical deworming with fipronil or selamectin monthly. Many fleas: first comb with a fine comb to remove adults and eggs, then deworm to kill eggs and hidden ones. During infestation, isolate the dog and clean/disinfect the home.
Deworming Medication
Ivermectin topical deworming solution is generally not recommended for cats, as it poses significant safety risks. Avermectin is a broad-spectrum topical antiparasitic with a narrow safety margin and strict dosing requirements; it is mainly used for large animals, and cats—usually under 6 kg—are prone to poisoning. If ingested, it can cause drooling, limb stiffness, and convulsions.
How to Remove Dog Dandruff
Dog dandruff shows up as white, flaky specks in the coat and can come from dry weather, poor nutrition, harsh shampoos, mites, or vitamin gaps. To clear it, keep up with parasite control, balance the diet, and brush regularly — and see a vet if it keeps getting worse.
My underweight kitten got ringworm; a flea spray was mistakenly applied and made the skin red with hair loss and scabs returning-what should I do?
If a cat's ringworm worsens after using a flea spray, the spray's ingredients may have irritated or allergic the skin. Stop using it immediately and take the cat to a vet. Use a safe topical spot-on for fleas rather than a spray, and treat ringworm with antifungal medication.
My cat’s eyebrows went bald and its eyes and paws swelled, it healed, then the other side swelled and healed, and now the skin is broken
Ulcers and moist redness are usually from a skin disease; itching leads to over-scratching and sores, so use a collar. The photo shows dirty ears with broken wounds, likely ear mites or other mites. Clean the ears daily with ear solution and apply ear medication for 2–3 weeks, and deworm monthly for three months with selamectin or fipronil. For the skin sores, clip, rinse with peroxide, disinfect with iodine, then apply antibiotic ointment twice daily; if no improvement, see a vet.
Can I use abamectin topical solution on my cat?
Abamectin topical solution is unsafe for cats because its safety margin is narrow and cats under 6 kg easily overdose, with symptoms like drooling and convulsions. Safer options contain selamectin, fipronil, or moxidectin.
My 1-month-old puppy has ticks; what should I do and what topical dewormer can it use?
Use a topical with fipronil or selamectin (e.g., Frontline, Advocate), applied to the back of the neck with an E-collar. Also manually remove ticks by numbing with alcohol then pulling with tweezers; if unsure, do not force it to avoid mouth parts left behind.
Where to apply cat louse medicine?
Lice are removed with selamectin or fipronil, applied to head, neck, armpits. After applying, fit a collar to prevent licking poison. Lice survive in the environment - disinfect regularly with 84 or quinoxaline solutions.
How effective is pet external deworming?
Effectiveness depends on the product; choose selamectin, imidacloprid or moxidectin, and consider fipronil for fleas and lice, using different ingredients alternately. Many external parasites breed on a 28-day cycle, so deworm monthly; using product only two or three times a year still risks infection.
How to deworm a dog internally and externally?
Use separate products: external (fipronil, selamectin, methoprene) monthly by weight, no bath 3 days around. Internal (albendazole, ivermectin, praziquantel, pyrantel): puppies monthly, adults every 2-3 months; overdose risks poisoning.
