Summer mosquitoes are coming! Is mosquito repellent used daily to be harmful to cats?

In summer, there are many mosquitoes. We often use mosquito repellent water such as calories to drive away mosquitoes. However, families with small animals must pay attention. Many things in life are related to the health of our pets. Whether mosquito repellent water can be used in rooms with cats is a very important issue for owners to pay attention to. If you don’t pay attention, the health of the hairy children may be harmed.

Whether mosquito repellent is harmful to cats is mainly based on the components of the mosquito repellent. The pyrethrin in the mosquito repellent is toxic to the cat and can cause the cat to drown and drool. In severe cases, it may cause hypothermia, convulsions, and reverse horn arches, causing acute liver function damage. It is recommended that cat owners pay more attention to the components of the mosquito repellent. It is not recommended to use mosquito repellent containing pyrethrin.

DeET, as an insecticide, is harmful to cats. When people spray clothes with DEET, they should be careful to stay away from the cat to avoid accidentally inhaling it; after use, they should also place the DEET in a place that is not easy for the cat to touch to prevent the cat from licking it due to curiosity. Even if the cat accidentally comes into contact, you don’t have to worry too much. A small dose of DEET will not cause poisoning.

It is recommended not to smell mosquito coils for cats, because the mosquito repellent ingredients contained in mosquito coils may have an upper respiratory tract impact on the cat. For example, cats may shed tears, sneeze, runny nose, etc. If the cat has smelled mosquito coils and has the above symptoms, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
