As the warm days return, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and worms reappear, posing a danger to our cats and rabbits. These parasites can cause severe itching, skin infections, anemia, and transmit serious diseases like myxomatosis in rabbits or Lyme disease in cats. Here’s how to protect them effectively:
- Proper Treatments: Use pipettes, collars, or sprays for cats; choose specific and safe products for rabbits, as some feline antiparasitics are toxic to them.
- Regular Inspections: Check the fur, ears, and paws after each outing to quickly detect any parasites.
- Enhanced Hygiene: Wash bedding, rugs, and accessories regularly; vacuum resting areas and treat the environment against parasites.
- Health Monitoring: If you notice itching, fatigue, weight loss, or skin redness, consult a veterinarian promptly.
Effective prevention helps avoid many health issues. Taking a few minutes to inspect your pet and adapt their environment can make all the difference. By following these simple steps, you ensure a peaceful spring without unpleasant surprises. Don’t wait for parasites to settle in—act now to keep your pet healthy!
