The first vermifuge must intervene every month, then to two or three weeks every fifteen days until two to three months until six months among the adult cat two to four times per year.

Reproductive female pussy (in case of future range) : at the time of its heats, two to three days before the protrusion, during the gestation, one to two weeks before the stake bottom and two to four weeks after the stake bottom.

Vermifuger of preference is necessary before the vaccinations because the infections by the verses can provoke a decrease of immunity and drag a bad action of the vaccine thus.

The internal parasites

The most current verses are the ascaris or round verses and the tapeworms. The association of the two is frequently met. Installed in the intestine, they increase and tire your Korat.

Among the kitten they can provoke a delay of growth and sometimes the death.

The verses

The round verses

It is to note before everything that the dogs and the cats are not carriers of oxyures. The human contaminations are not therefore of canine or feline origin.

The ascaris.

Long of 7 until 10 cm, are the most harmful. The mother who is not vermifugée transmits them to the f.tus or to the kitten by its milk. They provoke very serious unrests then : diarrheas, constipation, vomiting, distending, delays of growth as well as a decrease of immunity.

Their fashion of contamination makes itself by the placenta or the maternal milk or again by ingestion of eggs coming from the outside.

The transmission to the man is possible by the ascaris (children playing in the tubs to sand). The symptoms are then the fevers, fatigue and of the unrests of the growth. Some rarer symptoms also exist : migrating larvas that himself enkystes in the brain.

Other sorts of verse exist : the trichures and the ankylostomes that them all as the ascaris gets settled in the intestine, then the strongles that gets settled in the lungs and the heart, and finally the filaires that they live in the c.ur and the blood vessels.

Trichures

The trichures is the verses frequent among the adult dog, rare among the cat, exceptional at the Koratses. The adult trichures himself enkystent in the big intestine.

The eggs can resist several years outside. The way of contamination of the trichures makes itself by ingestion of eggs.

Ankylostomes

The ankylostomes is dangerous verses but extremely rare. They provoke fever and digestive problems (diarrheas with sometimes presence of blood). The larvas penetrate the skin of the dog or the cat. The fashion of contamination of the Ankylostomeses makes itself by ingestion of eggs as well as by the maternal milk.

The flat verses

Tapeworms

The tapeworms who are less dangerous, are difficult enough to dislodge because their larvas live in the fleas that the cat swallows when he tries to get rid of it. The tapeworm arrives therefore in the stomach and develop himself of it. They look like grains of whitish rices, one recovers some rings of the tapeworm in the stools of the cat.

The most widespread of the tænias is the Dipylidium. One can see it when its last segments full of eggs are present in the stools (as grains of rice). These verses provoke some irritations, the animal rubs itself the rear train against soil, provoke food deficiencies. They are transmitted by the flea when the animal ingests it.

The tapeworm and the man.

The tapeworm can provoke some zoonosises. The man contaminates itself by ingestion of the eggs rejected in general by the dog in the environment, what entails the illness of the cyst hydatic (enkystement of the larvas within bladders, the most often in the liver or the lungs).

If you have a doubt with your Korat, want to know the type of verse, it is necessary for you to appropriate samples of the excrements of the cat, the veterinarian will analyze it and will possibly do a blood test. Then it will prescribe a medicine that will kill the verses in the intestine : a vermifuge in dough or in tablets. At the time of the presence of flat verses (Dipylidium), think about associating a treatment anti-fleas.
