That's a new one on me.
Kitty ping. and does anyone here owned by a cat practice strategic deworming? I just saw the term yesterday and it sounds very odd.
I practice “wrap the cat in a towel and wear leather gloves” method of deworming. My cats hate the medication. Even though they are on flea medication (Frontline) year round I still worm once a year.
I heard that there is a new topical medication(on the skin) just released for deworming. Has to be better than my method, which means picking up little pieces of the medication they hack up on the carpet. Ick.
If I’m not mistaken strategic deworming means continuing to worm a cat for prevention.
OK, from the Bayer site for Profender,their new topical worming medication:
“Strategic deworming is a planned parasite control program that involves targeted deworming of pets to treat and control clinical disease and limit environmental contamination. “
That's a new one on me.
I’ve owned kitty cats since I was just a little squid myself. We’ve never had to de-worm. I’ve never had a cat with worms. I can’t understand how you’d be experiencing this phenomenon. You mean, they ate something disgusting and wild (a nice mouse mousse?) and picked up worms from it? Ick. Glad I keep my herd in.
His least favorite thing that happened that day was getting his temperature taken.
