How does the Foresto collar for cats work?
Foresto is the only repellent in the form of a collar new generation and works against ticks, fleas and other parasites. The product is effective against larvae and adult parasites and works for up to 8 months.
The Foresto collar is designed to prevent infestations with fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and protects the cat's immediate surroundings from pests such as ticks and fleas and works against the development of their and other larvae. It is also used as part of a strategy to control flea-induced allergic dermatitis (FAD).
Foresto collar has a permanent acaricidal (killing) and repellent (prevention of feeding) effect on ticks (Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus turanicus).
Innovative technology enables the release of low doses of effective substances into the cat's skin and thus provides it with long-term protection.
How to check a cat for ticks?
In most cases, you will find that a tick has attached itself to your cat's skin by petting it and feeling a small bump. But some tick bites can't be detected right away, especially if your cat has a lot of thick fur or if the tick feeds and falls off before you find it.
If you think your cat has been exposed to a tick bite or has been in an area with a high number of ticks, you can check for ticks as a preventive measure. Ticks are often found on the head, neck and upper back area (cats are not able to precisely reach these areas during their cleaning).
You can also find ticks by helping yourself by combing your hair with a flea comb.
What are the signs that your cat has a tick infestation?
- Lameness
- lethargy or unresponsiveness
- reduced appetite
- fever
- weight loss
- pale gums
- abnormal breathing
If you notice any of these signs, regardless of whether you know your cat has been bitten by a tick - you should consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Diseases of cats that can be caused by tick infection
- Lyme borreliosis
- Hemobartonellosis
- Cytauxzoonosis
- Tularemia
- Ehrlichiosis
- Babeziosa
Fortunately, cats are more resistant to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease than some other animals and creatures (such as dogs or humans).
Although these diseases are somewhat rare, they are all potentially fatal to cats if not treated early enough.
How to remove a tick
The main thing when removing ticks is to extract the entire body of the tick, including the head, from the skin of the animal. It is recommended to wear gloves and wash your hands thoroughly after removal.
Tweezers are used for removal, which are disinfected before removal. Spread the area of hair where the tick is located and use tweezers to hold it as close to the skin as possible. Then slowly and in a straight upward direction, pull the attached tick out of the kitten's skin. After removing the tick, thoroughly disinfect the area of the affected skin and the tweezers with alcohol.
BEFORE REMOVAL it is important to note that the area in which the stool is currently being suctioned is not to be disinfected or lubricated with oil or alcohol! This will further irritate the tick and release more infected saliva into the cat. As a result, we increase the possibility of infections.
The removed tick is thrown into the toilet bowl, because if it is thrown into nature, it can survive and become active again, which means that it again poses a danger to our budding cats.
After removing the tick, a lump may appear on the affected area of the skin, which in principle is not dangerous and should slowly disappear. However, good observation is recommended. If the symptomatic problems mentioned above appear within 30 days after the bite, a visit to the veterinarian is necessary.
