Many cats in Bangladesh, particularly those with outdoor access or adopted as strays, seem to suffer from various parasitic infections (e.g., worms, fleas, ticks). As a pet owner, it can be challenging to identify these issues early and ensure effective treatment. What are the most prevalent internal (like roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms) and external (fleas, ticks, mites) parasites affecting cats in Bangladesh? What are the common symptoms pet owners should watch out for? Crucially, what are the recommended and readily available deworming and flea/tick prevention products in the Bangladeshi market, and what kind of preventative measures (e.g., hygiene, environmental control, regular vet visits) can help minimize the risk of infection and prevent zoonotic transmission to humans?
