Insectoacaricidal agents Inspector Total for cats and dogs

general characteristics

"Inspector" from fleas is included in the group of drugs with complex action. Designed to combat insects parasitizing the skin (fleas, ticks), as well as intestinal. Available in the form of a clear, slightly oily solution.

The manufacturer has worried about the convenience of using drops for removing fleas: the dispenser is built into the bottle in which the Inspector is dispensed. In addition to curing fleas, cat drops guarantee getting rid of worms. In practice, complex treatment is often used for kittens and adult cats, allowing to raise immunity, remove worms in cats, and eliminate the presence of extraneous "guests" inside.

Flea drops contain:

1. Fipronil. A tested insecticide of the permethrin group, which has positively proven itself in the treatment of felines from helminths. A characteristic feature is the reduced toxicity of the component in relation to cats. Naturally, he was included in the Flea Inspector.
2. The second element, moxidectin, is also designed to suppress the vital activity of parasites. It works through the blood, absorbing into the pores of the skin. Clinically tested, safe for animals.
3. Isopropanol. Excipient, a compound of the group of monohydric alcohols.
4. Polyethylene glycol. A polymer that improves the flea-proof structure of the Inspector.

All components are selected so as to mutually reinforce each other's action. Thanks to them, "Inspector" against fleas and ticks in cats of all breeds is recognized by veterinarians as an effective and safe remedy.

Forms of release and indications

The Inspector flea bite remedy is available in several versions. Each of them is selected in accordance with the weight and height characteristics of pets, designed to combat parasites (worms and fleas) in cats and kittens.

There are 2 forms of release based on the weight of the animal:

1. "Inspector" for body weight up to 4 kilograms. Optimal for medium-sized adult cats, grown up kittens. Before using in young animals, you must make sure that their age coincides with that indicated in the instructions.
2. Drops for cats and cats weighing 4 kilograms or more. The Inspector bottle is distinguished by the shape of a pipette.

The drug acts as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent, this is confirmed by clinical experience of use. Indications for use are not only obvious symptoms of infection, but also the owner's natural desire to prevent the disease.

But it should be remembered that in addition to "cat" drops, there are drugs for dogs. They have different proportions, composition, focused on a large body weight. You cannot use them for cats.

Treatment of various diseases

For fleas, ticks, lice and lice, "Inspector" is applied once. Then, for prevention and maintenance therapy, you can repeat the actions after 1-1.5 months, if we are talking about the summer period, when the parasites are especially active. As a prophylaxis for flea infestation, the treatment is repeated once every 3 months.

Intestinal invasions are treated once.

The effectiveness and effect of the drug

Drops for the treatment of fleas and worms "Inspector" during the tests have shown efficacy against more than a dozen different parasites, including lice, lice, round intestinal worms. The combination of fipronil and moxidectin disrupts the normal metabolism of "guests", blocks the exchange of signals in their nervous system. In the future, muscle paralysis develops, leading to a failure in respiration, nutrition of parasites, and then - the death of individuals.

The effect of the drug extends not only to adult parasites, but also to juveniles that will emerge from larvae and eggs in the future. This eliminates the risk of re-development of the disease after the destruction of sexually mature bloodsuckers, intestinal flukes.

Instructions for use

The balanced composition, convenient form of release and extremely high efficiency in relation to parasitic forms have led to an increase in the popularity of the drug among veterinarians, owners of pussies. Instructions for using the "Inspector" are simple, just follow the safety rules so as not to harm yourself and the tailed pet.

The course of action is as follows:

1. Read the package insert to make sure your pet has no signs of contraindications. These include deep, open scratching, bleeding abrasions. Such places cannot be processed. We'll have to look for another remedy.
2. The optimal point of application of the "Inspector", which is inaccessible for licking (withers). So the drug will help to really get rid of parasites and not harm the cat.
3. The drops are applied to the dry coat - this is important. A single point of contact is enough, from which the action of the agent will spread to the entire wool cover. The exception is large representatives of felines (or dogs).
4. It is advisable to drip the solution onto the skin, pushing the coat apart. So it will penetrate deeper (and faster) into the body.

Nothing complicated, but compliance with the specified requirements will increase the effectiveness of the "Inspector", will speed up the disposal of the cat or cat from parasites.

Contraindications

In addition to obvious indications for the use of the drug, the instructions contain restrictions regarding the use of drops. The list is extensive and includes several items. It makes no sense to list them completely. Here are the main prohibitions:

• animals less than 2 months old;
• kittens, which are fed (and licked) by the mother.Both adults and cubs can get poisoned: a cat, licking the drug, kittens - through mother's milk;
• joint reception (processing) with other medications administered orally (containing lactones);
• diagnosis of infections, viral infections, including the recovery period after treatment;
• cats who have recently given birth;
• sickly, weak animals;
• individual susceptibility to the action of the "Inspector" from fleas and its components.

Serious, common to all animals, contraindications, with the exception of those listed in the list, have not been identified. Sometimes cats treated with the "Inspector" for fleas have a slight itching in the injection area. Or a minor reaction (irritation) to the surface of the skin. Further treatment depends on the severity of these manifestations: interrupt the treatment of the cat with the "Inspector", completely washing off the preparation from the skin, or continue the destruction of fleas. In both cases, a veterinarian's consultation is necessary.

Security measures

"Inspector" is only as safe as it can be said about a preparation containing insecticides. Agronomists know that when processing plants with mixtures designed to destroy garden pests, it is extremely important to avoid contact with pesticides.

The second point concerns the use of expired medicines. It is unacceptable. The room in which the treatment is carried out must be well ventilated. Better if it is forced ventilation. The use of disposable medical gloves is mandatory, because they protect the skin from contact with the drug. To avoid poisoning, you must use a respirator. Eating, smoking while treating a cat with a flea drug is prohibited.

At the end of the procedure, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with soapy water. The treated animal must not be washed, wetted, ironed, touched with wool. This limitation applies for a period of up to 5-7 days. Any contact with a cat during this time is prohibited (applies to children and other animals).

When processing, drops should not get on the mucous membranes, skin of the person performing the procedure. If this happens, immediately rinse the contact area with clean water. It is not recommended to carry out flea treatment more often than once a month. Store "Inspector" in a dark and cool place, where there is no food, protected from children and pets.

Summing up

Summing up all of the above, we can note the fast action and maximum protection of the pet. You should always remember how dangerous blood-sucking parasites can be. Do not neglect simple methods of protection, so that later you do not fight the consequences.

If the animal is heavily infected, then most likely there was also an infection of the living quarters, since fleas are not always on the body of their victims. In the apartment, they reproduce and leave clutches of eggs, from which young individuals will soon appear. It is necessary to process the bedding of the animal, upholstered furniture, carpets. For this, you can use safe folk methods.

Correct use guarantees the result, regardless of whether adults or adolescent kittens are processed. Here's what real users say about the Inspector experience:

Marina. I faced the problem of getting rid of "guests" in the intestines of kittens, as well as the need for prophylactic treatment of an adult cat. The recommendations of the veterinarian, who convinced them of the safety of drops for animals, helped. At first there were concerns, but the result made me believe in the effectiveness of the drug. Now "Inspector" is constantly in the home first-aid kit, we carry out preventive measures. Satisfied with the results, we recommend that all "cat lovers" apply drops from fleas and worms. The undoubted advantage is the low cost of the "Inspector". At this price, there is no alternative. For me, it is important that there are no minimal side effects, so that the pets, after applying the drops, quickly recover. And so that cats do not show weakness, gagging, diarrhea and other "surprises."

Olga. I tried to observe precautionary measures, but it was not possible to completely avoid the consequences of careless behavior. My Barsik licked a few drops of "Inspector" for fleas. I was afraid of vomiting (the veterinarian mentioned this, and my friend warned me about this), but there was increased salivation. The rest of the action of the "Inspector" is predictable: complete disposal of fleas and intestinal residents. Fluffy is healthy and cheerful.

Tatyana. I use drops to remove fleas all the time. Recently I tested the "Inspector" to combat the lice. The effect is amazing. I had to suffer, they treated the cat for about a month, but they achieved what they wanted. I recommend using a mask - the medicine has a persistent chemical odor (which quickly disappears).
