Diagnosis: Does the Cat Have Lice?
A cat with biting lice often has a shaggy coat, which can also have large, bald spots in advanced parasite infestation. If the small pests have already spread a lot in your cat’s fur, you may even be able to see them crawling in it. To ensure that the lice are biting lice, the veterinarian will then examine the parasites closely under a microscope before beginning treatment.
Treatment of Cats With Biting Lice
Now it’s about not only banishing the parasites from the cat’s fur but also getting rid of them permanently. To do this, your vet will first use a spot-on, shampoo, powder, or spray appropriate for your cat’s age, health, and build that will kill the lice and their eggs in the fur. He may also give you a remedy for after-treatment at home.
There it is important that you also treat the area around the velvet paw. You should thoroughly clean the house tiger’s blankets, sleeping places, and toys and possibly treat them with a special spray in consultation with the veterinarian. But the most important thing is that you also treat the fur of your other pets, otherwise the pests, which can survive for a few days outside your cat’s fur, will keep coming back to you.
