How long after a cat gets vaccinated can it be dewormed?

Worm removal can be divided into internal and external worm removal. If external worm removal is performed, it can be done immediately after the cat gets the vaccine. If internal worm removal is carried out, it is recommended to wait two to three days after the vaccination before performing internal worm removal. If the cat's physical condition is weak and its intestinal function is poor, it is advised to moderately extend the time interval for worm removal.

After a cat gets vaccinated, the vaccine stimulates the body to produce specific antibodies to resist related viral infections. If internal worm removal is performed at this time, it will seriously affect the cat's physical health. Therefore, it is generally recommended to wait two to three days after the cat gets the vaccine before performing internal worm removal, or to decide based on the cat's physical condition. For example, cats with weaker physical conditions can further extend the time interval for worm removal. External worm removal involves applying a skin drops formulation, which has less impact on the cat, so external worm removal can be done immediately after the cat gets the vaccine.

After a cat gets vaccinated, it may experience adverse reactions, such as drowsiness, mild loss of appetite, and mild fever, which can disappear within one to two days. It is advised to closely observe the cat's condition; if the symptoms worsen, consult a veterinarian in time. In addition, after worm removal, if the cat has symptoms such as diarrhea with worms, it indicates a severe parasite infection and the cat needs to be taken to a pet hospital for further examination and treatment. Generally, the cat needs to take deworming medication continuously for two to three days and then conduct regular fecal examinations. Finally, for young cats, it is generally recommended to perform internal and external deworming once a month, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of the kitten.
