Spray Celandine from fleas and ticks for puppies and kittens 100ml.

What drugs can be in this series?

The preparations are designed for adult cats and kittens. Substances, among which celandine alkaloids are potent ingredients. They must be used with caution, and exactly in accordance with the instructions. They qualitatively fight not only ectoparasites - fleas, ticks and other blood-sucking insects, but also have every chance of curing a cat from helminthic invasion.
Each of the above medicines can be used for adult pets, as well as kittens over 2 months of age. In addition, the manufacturer made sure that the drug is used only in accordance with the age of the animal: the label and instructions indicate from what age Celandine can be used for them.

How to properly prepare

Before using celandine, it must be prepared, and it must be done correctly. Its green parts should be collected only in dry weather from May to August, and the rhizome is dug up in August, but if they did not have time, then not earlier than late autumn. You need to choose healthy and strong plants, without damage to the leaves. The stem is cut completely at a distance of 10 cm from the rhizome. Be sure to protect your hands and eyes so that the juice does not get on them.

After the plant is harvested, it must be dried. This is done in a well-ventilated dark place, hanging in small bunches. The sun's rays have a detrimental effect on its healing properties, significantly reducing the healing effect. If the stem is well dried, it breaks easily when bent.

After the plant is dried, it is crushed and folded into paper bags, they are hung in a cool, dark place. You can also store it in a wooden box.

As for the preparation of the roots, they must be dug out entirely, then rinsed well and hung to dry. After they dry, wrap them in paper and also store them hanging. The shelf life is about three years.

Treatment with drops

Drops are one of the most effective dosage forms of the drug for cats. In the process of getting rid of fleas and ticks, the active substance - fipronil - paralyzes insects, and the permethrin contained in it also has a lethal effect for parasites. With the help of alkaloids, these components have the strongest effect of annoying fleas and ticks.

The instructions for use state that it is necessary to apply drops between the shoulder blades in cats or kittens. For greater confidence in the expected result, the medicine can be used by anointing the withers of the pet. The main thing is that the animal does not lick the product, which is best applied to the skin, gently pushing the fur apart.

The drug acts deeply, is absorbed into the skin, and then spreads throughout the body. Then, the excretory system of the feline body, together with active sweat glands, helps the product to be distributed over the surface of the skin. Drops, therefore, have a destructive effect on insects long before they would dare to bite the animal.

In order for the drug to have the maximum effect, it is important to leave it on the cat's skin for at least 2-3 days. While the drops are being treated for parasites, it is not necessary to wash them off the skin of the animal.This is confirmed by the instructions for the use of "Celandine".

Anti-flea collars for animals

In pet stores, you can find several varieties of these products. The action of some is aimed exclusively at protecting against fleas, while others also protect against attack by ticks, which is especially important in the spring-summer period, when the activity of these insects increases significantly.
Flea collar Celandine, intended for adult animals, contains diazinon at a concentration of 10%. In models used to protect kittens and puppies, this component is replaced with 1% permethrin. Both of them have an effective effect, they destroy not only mature parasites, but also larvae. Bio-collars have also been developed, which contain a natural component - citronella essential oil, which has repellent properties. Unlike other active substances, it is not absorbed into the blood, but spreads over the skin and hair, lingering in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. This is what ensures the duration of the action of such a collar.

It is very easy to use this tool. It is necessary to put it on the pet and choose the optimal length so that there is a space of approximately 1 cm between the neck and the product itself. Then fasten it with a special fastener and cut off the excess length. The collar must always be on the animal, then its effectiveness will be complete. Protection lasts an average of 2 to 4 months.

The main advantage of this type of protection against parasites is that it is the safest and can be used for pregnant and lactating females.

Review of popular flea drops - use, indications and contraindications

If the kitten cannot be treated with traditional flea drops, the parasites can be removed using folk remedies. Using safe methods takes time and dedication. Ultimately, the parasites are removed manually by combing them out.

Common folk remedies for removing fleas are:

• A decoction of wormwood, tansy and eucalyptus.
• Natural apple cider vinegar.
• Infusion or decoction of fresh needles.
• Citrus infusion.

All of the above products have an unpleasant odor that irritates and repels parasites. It is important to understand that the smell of apple cider vinegar and citrus fruits will be extremely unpleasant for the kitten. An animal may experience an allergic reaction to a decoction of herbs.

In 1 month

At 1 month old, kittens should not be treated with fleas by traditional environments. Absolutely all drops are toxic and can adversely affect the baby's nervous system. At such a young age, a kitten can only be removed from fleas by hand.

Combing out the parasites requires a fine-toothed comb and patience. To prevent fleas from biting and jumping off the kitten onto the floor, it is better to comb the coat with water and lemon juice. It is not recommended to bathe the kitten after procedures!

At 2 months

At 2 months (8 weeks), the kitten can be rid of fleas with drops. Almost all products can be used from 8 weeks. However, some drops are strongly recommended to be used only under medical supervision.

At two months of age, a kitten can be bathed with flea shampoos. Naturally, when using shampoos, you must observe safety precautions and thoroughly rinse the product off the pet's fur. Until the kitten is dry after bathing, it must be protected from drafts and made sure that it does not lick it.

Never believe what the label says! Exactly so, if the drops say "for kittens", most likely, we are talking about animals older than 2-3 months. For reference, animals under the age of 9–12 months are also considered kittens, so manufacturers do not lie by placing colorful inscriptions on the packages.

The drug differs from most drops in the number of components. The main active ingredients of Bars drops are:

• Fipronil.
• Diflubenzuron.
• Dicarboximide.

By interacting, the active substances give a relatively good result, against the background of low toxicity. Once in the body of parasites, the active substances disrupt the work of their nervous system, which quickly leads to paralysis, and within 2–4 hours to death. In addition, Bars drops have a detrimental effect not only on adult parasites, but also on their eggs. Simply put, droplet treatment interrupts the flea breeding cycle, which is very important at any stage of infestation.

Indications for use: elimination of skin parasites, including fleas, lice, lice, subcutaneous and pasture mites in animals older than 2 months.

Contraindications to the use of drops Bars:

• Individual intolerance.
• Acute allergic reactions.
• Immunocompromised animals: dehydrated, emaciated, sick, or recovering from an illness.
• Carriers of a viral infection.
• Kittens under 8 weeks old and cats over 12 years old.
• When treating an ear mite - the use of drops for perforation of the tympanic membrane is not recommended.

According to the manufacturer, the active substances are distributed over the deep layers of the skin without penetrating into the systemic circulation. When used externally, the drug is considered moderately toxic, but drops must be used, observing all safety measures. When in contact with mucous membranes, the active substances of Bars drops cause irritation, if swallowed, the toxicity of the drug increases sharply.

The recommended dosage is as follows:

• Cats weighing up to 1 kg - 0.3 ml.
• Cats weighing 1-3 kg - 0.6 ml.
• Cats weighing more than 3 kg - 1 ml.

Celandine

According to the manufacturer, Celandine drops can be used for the prevention and treatment of skin parasite infestations in kittens and adult cats. The residual effect of the drug lasts up to 2 months from fleas and up to 1 month from pasture ticks.

The spectrum of the drug is aimed at combating external parasites: fleas, lice, lice and ticks. In addition, Celandine is prescribed for the treatment of subcutaneous mites. According to the manufacturer, the composition of the drops helps to effectively fight parasites at different stages of growth (from an egg to a sexually mature individual). The active substances of the drops disrupt the nerve conduction in parasites, which leads to their paralysis and death.

Contraindications to the use of Celandine drops:

• Kittens under 8 weeks old.
• Cats over 12 years old.
• Animals suffering from liver and kidney pathologies.
• Virus carriers.
• Weakened, emaciated, dehydrated animals.

The dosage of Celandine drops is calculated by the weight of the animal:

• For cats weighing up to 2 kg - 0.5 ml.
• For cats weighing 2 kg or more - 1 ml.

The drug is applied to healthy, dry skin, drip along the ridge. The place of application of drops should be inaccessible for licking. For prevention purposes, after applying the drops, the kitten should be monitored or an Elizabethan collar should be applied.

Drops are indicated for the treatment and prevention of the above parasites in healthy animals over 6 weeks old. Stronghold is allowed to be used for prophylaxis in pregnant and lactating females. When weakened and sick animals are infected, prophylaxis is carried out only under the supervision of a veterinarian.

Beaphar

For the treatment of kittens, Beafar drops from the Bio series are used. In the composition of the drops there are three types of oils, however, the extract of margose is active. The drops are considered natural and safe, but they do not kill parasites, but scare them away.

The drug is strictly not recommended for the treatment of weakened kittens lagging behind in weight gain and development.

Regardless of the form of release, including drops of "Bio" from fleas, the drug should be used to treat areas that pets cannot reach with their tongue. Basically, the drug is used to treat the skin on the back of the neck. If cats are treated, then, depending on the weight of the animal, Celandine is used in the following dosage:

• up to two kilograms - half a pipette;
• over two kilograms - a whole pipette.

In the treatment of dogs for fleas, similar doses are used. On the skin of animals weighing 10-20 kilograms, liquid should be applied from two pipettes, 20-30 kilograms - three, over 30 kilograms - four. The generic drops are used in the same doses.

Celandine. Healing properties

For its medicinal properties, celandine used to be called our Soviet ginseng. And the literal translation from Greek is a gift from heaven.

This amazing herb has an interesting feature: it immediately finds the source of the disease, its root and begins the healing process.

Celandine is distributed over a large area. It is unpretentious and frost-resistant. You can meet him in forests, fields, on the slopes of mountains, and in shady places near dwellings, in vegetable gardens.

On my site, celandine grows along the fence. Once I planted a bush, but now it is very good, it has even grown too much. Usually many people fight it like a weed. But first I let the celandine bloom, then I harvest it for the winter and then I pull it out. In the spring, when not all the flowers have blossomed yet, celandine with its bright yellow flowers even pleases the eye.

Celandine is a perennial plant with a hollow stem and feathery leaves.

Blooms from May to autumn.

The roots, stems and leaves of the plant contain a large amount of valuable yellow-orange juice with medicinal properties.

The aerial part contains organic acids, essential oil, histamine, methylalanine, vitamin C, carotene, tannins.

Celandine belongs to the poppy family, it contains more than 10 alkaloids - toxic substances, so this plant is poisonous. But to a large extent it is inferior in toxicity to others, such as aconite or hemlock (which, by the way, I also used, and now I drink tincture of aconite).

Celandine preparations have a different kind of effect:

• primarily a powerful choleretic
• anti-inflammatory
• antipruritic
• antimicrobial
• wound healing
• pain reliever
• antihistamine
• diuretic
• mild laxative
• anticonvulsant
• cauterizing
• antineoplastic
• fortifying.

Drops of celandine maximum

The active ingredients are permethrin, fipronil. Drops are released in pipettes or vials with a volume of 0.5 to 20 ml.

Cost in October 2020 - 140 rubles.

The drug protects against ticks for a month, against insects for two months.

The collar is intended for animals over 4 months old. Protects against ixodid ticks for 3 months, fleas - for 4.

The active ingredients are fipronil, pyriproxyfen. Produced in aerosol cans of 100 ml. The animal is treated against fleas and ticks monthly. In the treatment of sarcoptic mange, notoedrosis, otoedectosis, aerosol is sprayed weekly until recovery.

The active ingredient is permethrin. Available in bottles of 180, 250 ml. After processing, they are washed off. Reapplication - according to indications.

for their pets, a shampoo has been created that has a beneficial effect on the appearance of a furry friend and makes it easier to comb after bathing. An additional version of the detergent is also developed for babies, it contains a lower dosage of fipronil, which can sometimes cause an allergic reaction.

To wash your cat with this medicated shampoo, follow these steps step by step:

1. Wet the pet's fur.
2. Apply a sufficient amount of non-wool shampoo and massage lightly into lather.
3. Leave to act for at least a couple of minutes. Ideally 5-10 minutes.
4. Wash off with warm water, rinse several times until the coat is completely clean.

It's important to note that the shampoo works right away. Only bite marks from fleas and ticks will remain on the animal's body. But protection will not be enough for a long time, since the celandine shampoo can only destroy parasites, but not protect the animal from being hit by new insects.

If the drugs are used in combination, then the simultaneous use will definitely have a better and faster effect. Moreover, there are few contraindications to the use of the drug: with caution, it is necessary to apply Celandine on the fur of a pregnant cat and not to apply it on the skin of a kitten under the age of 8 weeks.

Fast ways to deal with fleas

flea tar soap

Dust soap for fleas
Many people ask if tar soap helps in killing fleas, as most home economics newspapers and magazines claim. The answer is yes. Flea tar soap is the most effective remedy used in the fight against these insects. Tar differs from ordinary laundry soap with a pungent odor and dark color. Tar is the main component of the detergent, except for it, the soap does not have any dyes and all sorts of fragrances, it is a 100% natural product.

Alternatively, if tar soap is not available, dust soap can be used.The product is soaked in water at a high temperature, the resulting liquid needs to be washed the floor. You will ask what is the use of a washed floor, but it is: from the pungent smell emitted by soap, all fleas that are in the apartment die. To eliminate fleas from the fur of animals, you should soap the fur and skin of the pet with soap, then hold it for 5 minutes, and then rinse it off with warm water.

Boric acid is also a good way to eliminate parasites. All you need to do is spray the powder under the baseboards, by the bed, and across the carpet. After contact with boron, a flea will carry away some of it on itself and infect the colony. The very same block dies almost in a day.

It is important to note that boric acid is not at all dangerous for humans, although it has such a destructive effect on insects.

If you are worried that small children can be poisoned with boron powder in the apartment, then you can replace it with table salt. Salt can eat away at the flea's lining, causing the insect to die. The baking soda also has a similar effect, only it needs to be left sprayed for 5 hours and then the carpet is vacuumed.

Folk remedies for fleas have a huge number of recipes, but the simplest of them is ordinary cold. Fleas are thermophilic insects, so they try to protect themselves from the cold. In winter, it is enough to leave the windows open for several hours so that the flea larvae die, and the adults leave the room once and for all.

Composition and form of release

Flea celandine is available in the form of a medicinal solution placed in small containers (pipettes). The product is based on substances that suppress the activity of blood-sucking insects. Also included were propylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone and dimethyl sulfoxide.

These components (insecticides) have a complex effect on blood-sucking parasites, reaching their maximum in a short time: it is possible to get rid of fleas and other blood-sucking insects after one application. The second important advantage of these substances is that permethrin and finpropyl protect the pet from re-infection for a month.

Flea drops for cats contain medicinal substances with different concentrations. This is done in order to reduce the burden on the body of adults and young animals. For kittens, a remedy with a weakly concentrated mixture of medicinal substances is suitable.

This flea and tick remedy is suitable for cats over three months old. Celandine comes in glass flasks containing an oily liquid.

Dosage

When using any insecticidal agent, it is extremely important to comply with the dosage. Drops of Celandine are available in pipettes of the same capacity, and their dosage is calculated by weight

Note! If the instructions do not contain a dosage suitable for your pet, you can choose it by dividing the contents of the pipette into several equal parts. ... Never increase the dosage, even if it seemed to you that some of the drops remained on the coat! If, after using the drops of Celandine, the expected effect does not come, the treatment can be repeated after 1-2 weeks

In the intervals between treatments, special sprays or folk remedies can be used to protect against fleas and ticks.

Never increase the dosage, even if it seemed to you that some of the drops remained on the coat! If, after using the drops of Celandine, the expected effect does not come, the treatment can be repeated after 1-2 weeks. In the intervals between treatments, special sprays or folk remedies can be used to protect against fleas and ticks.

For puppies and small dogs

The dosage for small breed puppies and dogs is calculated as follows:

• Up to 2 kg - 0.5 pipettes.
• From 2 to 10 kg - 1 pipette.

If you are treating a puppy for the first time, you must first carry out the prevention of worms.The break between treatments should be 4-7 days. For the treatment of puppies, manufacturers of the Celandine trademark produce anti-flea shampoos and sprays, which are considered safer.

Operating principle

All prophylactic drugs designed to combat parasites are toxic. Drops released to treat kittens are usually moderately toxic. It is important to understand that the conditional safety of drops implies only external use and the absence of an individual allergic reaction.

If you are treating a kitten with an unknown history, you should use the safest drops and consult your veterinarian first. In most cases, kittens picked up on the street or bought at the poultry market are infected not only with fleas, but also with worms. With mixed invasion, it is much wiser to use complex preparations (from external and internal parasites) in the form of drops.

In rare cases, with individual intolerance to the active ingredients of the drops, the animal may experience an allergic reaction. If the kitten itches after flea drops, it is necessary to inspect the treatment area. Alarming symptoms are: redness, swelling and local fever. If you notice symptoms of an allergic reaction, the remaining drops must be washed off the kitten's fur and skin.

In the absence of an allergic reaction, after treatment with drops, the kitten may itch during the day. The fact is that most drops quickly paralyze fleas, but the death of parasites can occur within a few hours. An allergic reaction to an already inflicted flea bite can last up to 12–20 hours.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with: There can be several reasons why a cat licks under the tail

What if the kitten licked the drops and got poisoned? The generally recognized symptoms of poisoning are: salivation, apathy, a decrease in body temperature, nausea and vomiting. If such symptoms are observed in a pet, it is necessary to immediately give it adsorbing agents.

Pay close attention to the dynamics and provide your pet with plenty of warm drinks. If the symptoms worsen, the kitten has tremors or seizures, contact your veterinarian immediately! In case of an overdose or poisoning with flea drops, the kitten can die in a matter of hours.

Celandine

The principle of action of the drug boils down to the fact that medicinal substances block the transmission of impulses along nerve fibers. This paralyzes the insect, which further leads to the death of the blood-sucking insects.

The flea and tick drug for the dog has an effect after contact with the parasite. By inhibiting the functions of the nervous system, insecticides provoke the death of the insect within two days after treatment. For two months, celandine particles remain on the animal's body, which prevent re-infection.

Components of drops in small amounts penetrate into the bloodstream of cats and dogs. The effect of the action of the agent arises due to the fact that the ingredients accumulate on the wool, in the skin and sebaceous glands, with which blood-sucking insects come into contact. Therefore, it is recommended to use flea medicine for cats immediately after the discovery of adult parasites or eggs.

Celandine drops are not used:

• on animals weighing less than two kilograms or under two months of age;
• on pregnant or lactating animals;
• on animals malnourished due to illness or malnutrition.

It is recommended that you consult a veterinarian before treating a cat with chronic kidney or liver disease for fleas. It is forbidden to apply the medicine if cases of an allergic reaction to the effects of insecticides have been previously identified. For such violations, you should consult your veterinarian.

The prescribed dosages must also be observed. Failure to comply with this rule causes:

• active salivation;
• red spots on the skin;
• scabies, which indicates itchy skin;
• gastric and intestinal disorders;
• unreasonable flow of tears;
• decreased appetite and other symptoms of intoxication.

If the described reactions occur, the medicine is washed off the body, and the animal is sent for examination to the veterinarian. In case of ingress of drops into the body, the pet is fed a sorbent.

Who is contraindicated in the use of celandine

As we said, celandine is a poisonous plant.

They should approach treatment with great responsibility and attention. It is best if the patient asks their doctor for advice on its use.

Before starting treatment with celandine, you should definitely read the contraindications. Although it helps with numerous diseases, its use is not suitable for everyone. The reviews give advice from those who have experienced this remedy, and they remind: it is strictly necessary to observe the dosage and duration of taking celandine, it is imperative to take breaks in treatment. All unanimously say that it is worth starting treatment only with a minimum dose and in a very small concentration. Check your body and find out how you tolerate celandine. Method of application: start with one drop of tincture, if it is a decoction, then dilute the first portion with plenty of water.

The use of celandine is contraindicated:

• patients with epilepsy;
• pregnant and breastfeeding women;
• children under the age of 3;
• patients with bronchial asthma and angina pectoris should be treated with celandine very carefully.

With celandine intolerance, the first reception will show how it will affect your body. If you have signs of poisoning, or you feel severe discomfort, immediately stop taking celandine and rinse the stomach. In case of severe poisoning, you should immediately consult a doctor. Do not continue further treatment if undesirable effects appear.

Celandine is an excellent medicinal plant, it will help cure many chronic diseases, will help stop the growth of cancer cells and metastases in cancer patients.

Drops must be applied, adhering to several rules:

1. Treatment of neglected cases, when repeated processing of the pet is required, is carried out with the participation of a veterinarian.
2. After processing, the animal is prohibited from bathing during the day. Exposure to water reduces the effectiveness of Celandine.
3. It is not recommended to skip scheduled processing dates. This helps to reduce the effectiveness of the drops.

In addition to treating cats, you should rinse the litter and other household items of the animal under hot water. If the medicine is used to prevent flea infestation, then Celandine is applied to the skin every two months during the warm season. To prevent tick infestation, it is recommended to increase the frequency of treatment to one month.

The agent used in the fight against blood-sucking insects is applied once. In advanced cases, it is recommended to treat cats and dogs up to four times, making weekly breaks between treatments. The liquid should not be applied to damaged or damp areas of the skin.

Each package with drops contains instructions on how to drip a kitten. The instructions indicate the indications and contraindications that must be studied first. Usually, the point of contraindication indicates the minimum permissible age of processing.

The generally accepted rules for treating animals from fleas with drops include:

• The product is applied to intact, dry skin.
• Drops are applied to the back of the head or shoulder blades, so that the kitten does not reach the treated areas during washing.
• During the first hours after treatment, the kitten must be closely monitored, since side effects are possible.
• If you do not have the opportunity to ensure that the kitten does not lick off the drops, it is necessary to put on an Elizabethan collar.

In addition, it is strongly discouraged to use products that are intended for use on cats for treating cats.

At what age can a kitten be treated for fleas? It all depends on the product you choose and its active ingredients. Most medications are not recommended for kittens under 4 weeks of age. Even those drops that can be used to treat pregnant and lactating females are most often contraindicated in kittens.

If your pet has given birth to kittens and all animals are infected with fleas, you need to handle the cat. Some approved products, for example, Advantage, protect the cat and the entire litter from fleas. If you picked up a kitten on the street, you suspect that he is less than 4 weeks old, but he is already infected with fleas, you need to use folk remedies or choose fleas by hand.

Folk recipes with celandine

Allergy recipe

Brew one tablespoon of dry celandine with two glasses of boiling water. Insist for four hours. Take half a glass in the morning and evening.

Asthma and bronchitis treatment

Mix 20 grams of celandine herb, chandra, cinquefoil, black elderberry, pine buds. Mix well, pour 4 tablespoons of the mixture into a glass, sprinkle with water and leave for at least a couple of hours. Then boil (boil for a few minutes) and consume three times a day.

Precautions

Celandine contains substances that, after penetration, cause intoxication of the body. Therefore, when using a flea remedy, you must observe the following precautions:

1. Wear rubber gloves before handling. This will help prevent hand contact with medicinal substances and prevent an allergic reaction.
2. Do not touch animals for 24 hours after the procedure.
3. In the first 2-3 days, limit communication between pets and children.
4. Stop eating, drinking and smoking immediately after treatment. This will reduce the risk of droplets entering the body.

6. Pipettes are discarded after the procedure. If any container was used during processing, the latter cannot be further used for products.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with: What to do if a cat's paw is swollen?

If antiparasitic treatment of two or more animals is being carried out, it is recommended to isolate cats and dogs from each other for a day. Simultaneously with Celandine, it is forbidden to use other flea remedies, which include insecticides. With this combination, the likelihood of developing intoxication in the animal's body increases. In case of contact with drops on the mucous membranes, the latter must be rinsed with plenty of water.

Features of the tool

Although Celandine drops from fleas and ticks for cats are considered relatively harmless to pets, one should not forget that the drug, according to GOST, belongs to substances of hazard class 3.

• Give the sorbent. Smecta - several times after half an hour or an hour (1 ml each) or activated charcoal - three times a quarter of a tablet (a large cat can take half a tablet or a whole one, there will be no harm).
• It is advisable to have dexamethasone in ampoules at home. Although this medicine is not veterinary, but hormonal, it is used in veterinary practice in case of emergency shock allergic conditions, it saves animals. If there is no way to quickly call a doctor, but help is needed immediately, then calculate the amount as follows: 1 ml per kilogram of cat weight. The kitten needs 0.1 ml.

Drops of celandine from ticks and fleas for cats

The drug is packaged in pipette tubes or bottles with a dropper made of polymers, the package contains 1-5 pieces and instructions for use. Celandine is a drug in the form of drops that has an insectoacaricidal effect on adults and young fleas, lice, lice and ticks that parasitize pets.

The mechanism of action of fipronil is to disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses in parasites, which injures the nervous and muscular systems and causes paralysis in arthropods.

How do flea drops work?

Many owners are interested in how flea drops work. The mechanism of action of the drug depends on the active ingredients.Common flea drops eliminate parasites in several ways:

• Violation of nervous activity - the flea drinks blood, after which paralysis and death occurs.
• Contact action - the poison enters the body of the parasite through direct contact.
• Repeller effect - some flea drops do not kill, but only scare off parasites with a smell.

How often to treat a kitten from fleas, in preventive measures? According to generally accepted rules, preventive treatment for parasites is carried out quarterly. The term is considered optimal to interrupt the breeding cycle of most parasites.

If the cat is infested with fleas, the treatment is carried out outside the schedule. In case of re-infection, it is recommended to change the drops, since their protective effect should protect the kitten from 4 to 8 weeks (depending on the drug). Shampoos and some flea sprays do not have a prolonged action, that is, they kill fleas "here and now", but the next day the kitten can "pick up" fleas again.

When can I wash my kitten after flea treatment? Usually, this information is indicated in the instructions for the drops. The absorption time of the drops depends on the base of the preparation. oil drops cannot be washed off for 4–5 days, water-based preparations are absorbed faster, in 1–2 days.

The kitten should be bathed immediately if it has a local reaction to the drops. Symptoms of an allergic reaction are: redness, itching, swelling, fresh scratching. In rare cases and in case of an overdose, the kitten may experience a reaction from the nervous system: salivation, convulsions, apathy.
