Summer is coming, and the most annoying mosquito is coming out again. Various mosquito repellent equipment are ready...
However, some cat families are paying attention! ! The mosquito repellent products you use may be poisoning your cat!
Many mosquito repellent products have been tested and are indeed harmless to the human body and are very safe. But for cats, it can cause fatal damage. Among them, there are two ingredients in mosquito repellent products: DeET and pyrethroid. It is often eaten or sucked by cats, causing cats to be poisoned.
DeET
DeET, also known as DEET, is the main component of many mosquito repellent sprays and is highly toxic to cats. Because cats have the habit of licking hair, cats are prone to being poisoned by accidental ingestion after spraying mosquito repellent water at home.
Pyrethroid
Pyrethroid
Pyrethroid is a class of artificially synthesized insecticide substances. It is very toxic and has very low harm to humans, but cats. Human livers can metabolize this substance out of the body. Similarly, the liver of the Dogs also has the ability to remove such substances.
But cats do not have the ability to metabolize such substances! When toxic substances accumulate in a large amount in a short period of time, it will cause poisoning and cause general tremors, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as drooling, convulsions, vomiting, difficulty breathing, loss of balance standing and staggering walking.
If your cat is having the above situation, please seek medical treatment as soon as possible!
