Any dog or cat owner is well aware of how dangerous tick bites can be to their pet's health. For safety reasons, the animal must be regularly treated with antiparasitic drugs. One of the most effective means is "Bolfo" (spray). Instructions for its use will be discussed in today's article.
Composition and pharmacological properties
This drug is a liquid with a mild specific odor. One hundred milliliters of the product contains 0.25 grams of propoxur, which is the main active ingredient. Spray "Bolfo" is sold in metal bottles with spray nozzles. The volume of one cylinder leaves two hundred and fifty milliliters.
This aerosol belongs to the category of insect-acaricidal preparations. It is effective in controlling external parasites, including ticks, ticks, fleas and lice. The tool is considered moderately toxic to warm-blooded animals. If it is used in strictly recommended doses, it does not have a sensitizing and skin-resorptive effect. Spray “Bolfo”, which got on the surface of the mucous membranes, becomes a cause of mild irritation.
Indications and contraindications
This drug is intended to get rid of ixodid ticks, lice eaters, lice and fleas that parasitize our smaller brothers. They are forbidden to treat sick and recovering animals, pregnant and lactating females, as well as individuals who are under six weeks old.
When used correctly, the Bolfo spray does not cause side effects. If symptoms of poisoning occur (muscle weakness, diarrhea and increased salivation), it is necessary to stop treating the animal with an aerosol and provide him with appropriate assistance. If necessary, the pet should be shown to the veterinarian.
“Bolfo” (spray): instructions for use
It is recommended to treat the animal with this drug on the street or in a well-ventilated room, away from heating appliances and open flame sources. Before using the antiparasitic agent, it is necessary to remove the bird cages from the premises and cover the aquariums with fish. Immediately before the procedure, the vial must be shaken well and, clicking on the spray, for several seconds to direct it to the body of the animal. In the process, it is important to ensure that the aerosol torch hits the pet’s body against the growth of its coat and slightly moisturizes it. It is advisable to direct the stream from a distance of about thirty centimeters from a cat or dog.
First, the ears and breasts of the animal are treated, making sure that the “Bolfo” spray from ticks does not get into the eyes of the pet. Then the stream is directed to the neck, body, legs and tail. The coat around the eyes and nose is carefully treated with fingers, on which a small amount of the drug is applied.
Repeated use is carried out exclusively according to indications. It is recommended to do this no more than once a week. In order to completely exterminate external parasites, it is desirable to treat not only the animal itself, but also means of caring for it, including blankets and bedding. A couple of hours after processing, all surfaces must be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
