Essential Cat Care for Beginners: Deworming and Vaccinations
For a new cat: get a vet check first, prepare supplies, cat-proof the home, and keep it separate from other pets at first. Deworm externally every month, internally monthly under age 1 (then every 3 months), and start vaccines at 3 months with FVRCP plus rabies.
My one-month-plus puppy has sneezed the last two days, vomited yellow and a worm came out, got a deworming shot, vet said give pediatric cold medicine; hoping it’s just a cold, worried about parvovirus. What’s the likely cause, or any recommended test strips?
Vomiting a worm means internal parasites, needing deworming; sneezing may be from chill, so follow the vet's cold medicine. A colloidal-gold strip for parvo is rough and often false-negative early; PCR at a vet is best.
My dog is pregnant but hasn’t been dewormed in over a month and is full of parasites; what can I do, and how much does vet deworming cost?
Deworming is generally not advised during pregnancy; do it before pregnancy. If fleas/ticks are severe, use a vet-recommended topical or a safer product like Revolution; imported combo products cost 80-150 RMB depending on weight. Use only safe, legitimate products and dose by weight.
Do Rabbits Need Deworming?
Yes — pet rabbits need regular deworming even though their high body temperature limits fleas and lice; poor hygiene can still bring mites. Start at 2 months: kits 2-6 months monthly, over 6 months every ~3 months, adults every 6-12 months. Dose carefully (most products are toxic), disinfect feces with lime milk, treat all rabbits together, and sanitize the cage with boiling water or sun.
How Soon After a Puppy’s Deworming Can It Be Vaccinated?
Wait one week after internal deworming to vaccinate. Dewormers irritate the gut and lower resistance, risking vaccine failure. If many worms pass, deworm again, then vaccinate after full clearance.
How to Tell If a Puppy Needs Deworming?
Deworm puppies routinely from 45 days, monthly under 6 months, then monthly external and every 2-3 months internal. Infected pups show poor appetite, lethargy, soft stool, diarrhea, itching, weight loss or anemia.
What happens if a dog does not take deworming medicine?
Without deworming, internal/external parasites thrive, causing malnutrition, anemia, weight loss, and soft stool from roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms; severe cases bring vomiting, diarrhea, spasms. Some parasites spread to humans. Deworm every 3 months internally, monthly externally.
My dog had a worm like in the picture before topical deworming; now many dead worms are in its bed and live ones on its tail/hind legs; it eats less and has slight hair loss on head/tail but is still active—what’s wrong?
Per the image, the dog has a tapeworm infection. The worms come from the anus; tapeworms are internal parasites needing oral dewormer. Worms pass the same or next day; re-deworm in 2 weeks to remove eggs. Regular internal and external deworming prevents recurrence.
My cat ate two deworming tablets by accident while mid-vaccination—will this cause problems?
Whether two dewormers are harmful depends on the dose relative to the cat's weight and the drug's specification. A large cat may be fine, a small one may suffer liver or kidney damage. Always follow the standard dose and interval; if overdosed, take it to the vet for induced vomiting and treatment.
My cat has soft stools with mucus but normal spirits after vaccines and deworming; should I see a vet?
Soft stool with good spirits usually rules out acute infectious disease; it is likely diet, gut flora imbalance, or internal parasites. Overfeeding, irregular meals, or an intolerant food causes it; fast half a day, give probiotics, then small frequent easily digested meals. If it recurs, get a fecal test, deworming does not cover coccidia or tritrichomonas.
