Can pregnant cats be dewormed?

Pregnant cats should not be dewormed. No matter what medicine is used, there will be certain side effects. Using deworming medicine on a pregnant cat may harm the health of the kitten. We can wait for one month after the cat has given birth before deworming. It only lasts three months, so we don’t have to worry. Generally speaking, cats only need to pay attention to this period of time to avoid parasites.

Tip:

For cats during pregnancy, we must not only ensure adequate nutrition, but also exercise appropriately. When they are about to give birth, they can do a check-up to see if the fetus is normal.
