Imidacloprid
別名: Advantage, Advantix, Advocate, Seresto, Prinovox, Moxiclear
- **Application:** Apply the spot-on liquid directly to the skin at the base of the skull/back of the neck where the pet cannot lick it off. - **Bathing/Swimming:** Do not allow dogs to swim in ponds or rivers for at least 48 hours after application, as the drug is highly toxic to fish and aquatic life. Remove collars before swimming. - **Safety:** The product tastes very bitter; if your pet accidentally licks the wet application site, they may drool excessively for a short time. This is usually harmless and resolves on its own. - **Household Warning:** If using a dog product containing permethrin (e.g., Advantix), keep treated dogs separated from cats until the application site is completely dry, as permethrin is deadly to cats.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
