The best flea drops for cats

What is better for fleas: drops or a collar?

Let’s immediately decide what is better for fleas: drops or a collar. Misconceptions in this matter drive many owners to despair. The fact is that the collar itself is an additional preventive measure. Putting a collar on a flea-infested kitten will not get rid of parasites!

The collar is used as a measure of additional protection, not even against fleas, but against ticks. After treatment with drops, the collar serves as a means of repelling new parasites. In addition, wearing a flea collar before the recommended age can lead to stunted growth and development.

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:

• Disturbance of nervous activity - the flea drinks blood, after which paralysis and death occurs.
• Contact action - the poison penetrates the body of the parasite through direct contact.
• Repellent effect - some flea drops do not kill, but only repel parasites with their smell.

Important! The duration of action depends on the type of active ingredients and their dosage. Most often, drops protect a cat from fleas for 8 weeks, and from ticks for 4 weeks.

How often should I treat my kitten for fleas?

How often do you treat a kitten for fleas as a preventive measure? According to generally accepted rules, preventive treatment against parasites is carried out quarterly. The period is considered optimal to interrupt the reproduction cycle of most parasites.

If a cat is infested with fleas, treatment is carried out outside the schedule. If infection is repeated, 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 very next day the kitten can “pick up” fleas again.

Pay attention! If infected with subcutaneous mites, as prescribed by a veterinarian, treatment may be carried out more often.

When can you wash your kitten after applying the drops?

When can I wash my kitten after flea treatment? Typically, this information is indicated in the instructions for the drops. The absorption time of the drops depends on the base of the drug. 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 use of drops. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: redness, itching, swelling, and the appearance of fresh scratches. In rare cases and in case of overdose, the kitten may experience a reaction from the nervous system: drooling, convulsions, apathy.

Pros and cons of drops

Before making any choice, you need to study all the pros and cons, find out how flea drops for cats work and how harmless they are. All such substances are produced in the form of concentrated solutions based on insecticides, which are essentially poisons.

They penetrate the dermis (the top layer of skin), saturate the hairs, starting with the hair follicles, and fill the sebaceous glands under the skin. Their function is a neuroparalytic effect; the parasites lose the ability to move and die as a result.

Spreading over the upper integument, they do not reach the circulatory system or the stomach, so there is no serious harm to the cat’s health. Moreover, the doses required for treatment are very small. Usually a small drop is enough to neutralize pests for a long time.

The main advantages of these concentrates should be considered:

• minimal danger due to the specific method of application. It is difficult for a cat to reach the withers to lick the application site;
• low level of toxicity. A minimal area treated superficially does not affect other organs;
• simplicity, convenience and long-term effect. The applied drop provides a lasting result and at the same time provides prevention;
• fast reaction. Some products provide the desired effect within 15 minutes.
• reasonable price for most of the drops offered;
• great functionality. Almost all drugs have an extended spectrum; they act on most parasites;
• versatility. They are suitable for various cat breeds, regardless of the structure and length of the coat.

Negative points usually include:

• relatively high payment for the purchase of imported drops,
• some isolation of the treated animal, when the medicine must be absorbed, although not for long;
• short-term wool contamination,
• Some drops have quite a strong aroma.

How to use such medications? First, carefully spread the hairs on the withers, then apply the required amount, and then thoroughly rub it into the skin. After these manipulations, the cat should not be combed or bathed for approximately 62 hours. After the period indicated in the instructions, wash your pussy with shampoo.

Usually one treatment per month is sufficient. Buy only those drops that are designed specifically for cats. There is no need for replacements, this is fraught with side situations. And special attention must be paid when processing kittens. Curious little ones begin to lick each other's drops, and the mother cat immediately joins them.

Therefore, when buying medication, be sure to take into account when you have a pregnant or lactating cat with kittens. In this case, the right thing to do would be to contact a veterinarian. He will help you calculate the correct dose and advise you to choose the drug.

By the way, there are often cases when pets are frightened by the owner’s manipulations with pipettes and tubes near their neck, but you should not force him to do the procedure. Be patient, wait for him to calm down, and then complete the process.

Instructions: how to apply flea drops

Each package of drops contains instructions on how to give the kitten the drops. The instructions indicate indications and contraindications that must be studied first. Typically, the contraindications section indicates the minimum permissible age for processing.

The generally accepted rules for treating animals against fleas using 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 while washing.
• During the first hours after treatment, the kitten must be closely monitored as side effects may occur.
• If you are unable to ensure that the kitten does not lick the drops, you need to put an Elizabethan collar on it.

When treating kittens, it is not recommended to use products whose dosage is designed for large weights, for example 1 ml per 10 kg of body weight.

In addition, it is strictly not recommended to use drugs intended for dogs when treating cats.

How do these drugs work?

Even cats that do not leave the house are likely to become infected with blood-sucking parasites and worms. According to the recommendations of veterinarians, drops against fleas and worms for cats with access to the street are carried out once a month for preventive purposes, for pets with limited access from home - at least once every 3 months. For cats that do not like the use of oral medications and frequent bathing, manufacturers of animal medicines have developed drops on the withers that can destroy external and internal parasites with a single application.

Anthelmintic drops for cats

The natural desire of many cat owners is to find out the answer to the question: how does a drug applied to the pet’s withers work against parasites inside the intestines? Such drops contain substances that cause paralysis of the nerve and muscle endings of helminths. Once on the skin of the cat’s withers, the drug is absorbed through the epidermis, spreads throughout the body and is absorbed into the tissues.

Within 24 hours, the drug destroys fleas, ticks and worms that feed on blood and tissues saturated with a substance that is toxic to them. The concentration of the active substance is small and safe for cats, but it is destructive for smaller internal and external parasites.

For your information! Features of the drops of complex effects are the long period of elimination of the active substance and its ability to accumulate in the sebaceous glands of the cat, which creates a protective barrier against parasites.

Basic rules for using drops against fleas and worms for cats:

• the cat's skin must be dry, without any damage (scratches, abrasions, wounds);
• before treating a pet, the owner must wear rubber gloves;
• the pipette on the bottle is opened immediately before starting to treat the cat and is disposed of immediately after use;
• the drug is intended for external use only, therefore it is applied to inaccessible places from which the cat cannot lick drops, for example, on the skin of the withers. After application, the drops do not rub in;
• the dosage of the drug is strictly calculated according to the instructions, taking into account the weight, age and health of the cat;
• after treatment, it is recommended to limit the pet’s access to the street and not bathe for 2-3 days;
• it is important to ensure that treated pets do not lick each other (for example, a mother cat and kittens) and do not become poisoned;
• The purchased drug is stored out of the reach of children and pets.

A repeated procedure for treating a pet with complex action drops is carried out 10 days after the first.

How to rid a kitten of fleas without using medications

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

Important! If a kitten has a severe flea infestation, it is better to consult a veterinarian who will assess the risks and potential medicinal effect of certain medications.

Common folk remedies for removing fleas are:

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

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

At 1 month

At 1 month of age, kittens cannot be treated for fleas with traditional products. Absolutely all drops are toxic and can adversely affect the baby’s nervous system. At such a young age, a kitten can only be rid of fleas by hand.

To comb out parasites, you need a fine-tooth comb and your patience. To prevent fleas from biting and jumping off the kitten onto the floor, it is better to comb the fur with water and lemon juice. After the procedures, it is not recommended to bathe the kitten!

At 2 months

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

At the age of two months, the kitten can be bathed using anti-flea shampoos. Naturally, when using shampoos, you must follow safety precautions and thoroughly rinse the product from your pet’s fur. Until the kitten is dry after bathing, it must be protected from drafts and ensure that it does not lick itself.

Side effects

All prophylactic drugs intended to combat parasites are toxic. Drops released for treating kittens are usually classified as moderately toxic substances. It is important to understand that the conditional safety of the drops implies exclusively external use and the absence of an individual allergic reaction.

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

Kitten itches after flea drops

In rare cases, if there is an 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 droplets must be washed off from 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 several hours. An allergic reaction to already inflicted flea bites can last up to 12–20 hours. In addition, gentle drugs can only affect adults. In this case, the treatment is repeated after 4–10 days (according to the instructions or prescription of the veterinarian).

Review of popular flea drops - application, indications and contraindications

Never believe what it says on the label! That’s right, if the drops say “for kittens,” most likely we are talking about animals older than 2–3 months. For reference, animals under 9–12 months of age are also considered kittens, so manufacturers do not lie when they place colorful labels on packages.

Important! There are no absolutely safe flea drops. Always read the instructions before use! If you have any doubts about the safety of the drug, it is better to consult a veterinarian.

Leopard

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

• Fipronil.
• Diflubenzuron.
• Dicarboximide.

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 functioning 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, drop treatment interrupts the flea reproduction cycle, and this is very important at any stage of the infestation.

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

Contraindications to the use of Bars drops:

• Individual intolerance.
• Acute allergic reactions.
• Immunocompromised animals: dehydrated, malnourished, sick or recovering from illness.
• Carriers of a viral infection.
• Kittens under 8 weeks and cats over 12 years old.
• When treating ear mites, the use of drops in case of perforation of the eardrum is not recommended.

According to the manufacturer, the active ingredients are distributed throughout the deep layers of the skin without penetrating into the systemic bloodstream. When used externally, the drug is considered moderately toxic, but drops must be used observing all safety precautions. Upon contact with mucous membranes, the active ingredients 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.

Important! Drops are applied only to dry, intact skin.

Celandine

According to the manufacturer, Celandine drops can be used to prevent and treat infestations of skin parasites in kittens and adult cats. The residual effect of the drug lasts up to 2 months against fleas and up to 1 month against pasture ticks.

The active ingredients of Celandine drops are:

• Fipronil.
• Permethrin.

The range 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 egg to mature individual). The active ingredients of the drops disrupt 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.
• Animals that are sick or recovering from illness.

Note! When used externally in recommended doses, the drug is classified as moderately dangerous. Upon contact with mucous membranes, the active substances cause severe irritation. When licked and swallowed, drops can lead to both local reactions (salivation, allergies) and poisoning.

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 over 2 kg – 1 ml.
