If a one-month-old cat has fleas, the first thing the owner should do is to keep the cat in isolation to prevent the fleas from being transmitted to other healthy cats and owners. Then they need to consult a pet doctor in time to choose safe and effective anthelmintic drugs to deworm the cat. In addition, when externally deworming cats, it is also necessary to clean up the cat’s living environment and used items, especially some dead corners, such as under the bed, under the sofa, in the corners, etc., to prevent the cat from being repeatedly infected with fleas.
1. Isolated breeding
Fleas are contagious, so if there is more than one cat in the home, the first thing to do is to isolate the kitten with fleas from other cats in the home to avoid Flea problems can spread to other cats, and owners need to minimize contact with cats by not putting them to bed or playing with them in their arms.
2. Choose safe and effective anthelmintics
Because one-month-old cats are still relatively small, it is recommended that owners consult a pet doctor and choose safer in vitro deworming drugs. Anthelmintics repel insects. During the process of using anthelmintics, the owner needs to peel off the kitten's hair and drip the anthelmintic on the back of the kitten's neck. This can prevent the kitten from licking the anthelmintic and causing poisoning. If it accidentally drops on the hair or other parts, the owner can wear an Elizabethan ring on the kitten.
3. Disinfect the environment where cats live
Because fleas on cats can also be transmitted to humans, so while deworming cats, owners need to clean the home environment in time. And spray flea repellent around your home to kill fleas in the environment. At the same time, the environment where the cat lives needs to be disinfected once a week with a pet-specific disinfectant. After disinfection, the environment should be kept clean, ventilated, and dry. Taking the cat's nest or bed out for more sunshine can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.
Note: When using external anthelmintic drugs, the owner needs to determine the dosage of the anthelmintic drug according to the weight of the cat. If too much is used, the cat may develop Poisoning symptoms such as foaming at the mouth and drooling.
