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.

I suddenly noticed (my dog scratches its neck often and it is red and swollen)
Frequent neck scratching with redness is likely a skin disease causing itch, and over-scratching causes inflammation. Use an Elizabethan collar to stop scratching and iodine to disinfect, and an oral anti-itch medicine if very itchy. Since many skin types exist, get a scraping, stain, and allergy test at the vet to use the right medicine; common itchy rashes come from allergic dermatitis, mites, atopy, or fungus.
My cat’s skin suddenly turned pink and a bit pus-filled; I noticed it at night and it kept licking, so I sprayed iodine — is it from being hit or a skin disease?
This is likely skin-disease inflammation from fungal or bacterial infection or wound infection, causing redness, pus, and over-licking. If possible, get a skin cytology at the vet for targeted medicine. If not, use an Elizabethan collar, then disinfect with iodine and apply pet anti-inflammatory, and see a vet if no improvement in a few days.

My cat’s skin broke for no apparent reason; there is only one cat at home
A red wound on the back of the neck may be from trauma (hit by objects, causing redness, hardening, pain — disinfect with iodine and apply anti-inflammatory, and stop scratching), skin infection (bacteria, fungus, parasites — get a scraping and use the right medicine), or allergy (needs antihistamines). See a vet; meanwhile clean, iodine-disinfect, and use an Elizabethan collar.
My dog vomits and passes roundworms; how many days until the dewormer works, should I deworm daily, how many doses per day, and why no effect yet?
Vomiting or passing roundworms means a worm infection; dewormers kill or expel them. Effects start within hours but full expulsion can take days. For an active infection, dose once the same day by weight, then re-deworm if worms persist until cleared; preventive deworming is monthly. No effect may mean wrong dose, poor product, or wrong drug for the worm type, or secondary enteritis/parvo, so see a vet.
