19 Cats and Counting Episode 89 Dr. Kelly Cairns – May is Parasite Prevention Month
Published 3 years ago
Description
Let’s talk about Parasite Prevention. Our favorite veterinarian, Dr. Kelly Cairns, is with us to talk about the importance of prevention, even for cats. What kind of parasites might plague our cats? Fleas, Ticks, Tapeworms, Ringworms, Ear Mites, and also Heartworm. Linda and Rita did not know that cats could indeed get Heartworm, although it is more prevalent in dogs.
Do even for our indoor-only cats need parasite prevention? Yes, even for them, since those little hitchhikers can be brought in from outside via a screen door, your pant legs, or by the family dog if you have one. Dr. Kelly talks with Rita and Linda about these pests, how to prevent them, how to get rid of them if you do have them, and why Parasite Prevention needs to be done all year long. After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
