Delcid for dogs is a product used to eliminate fleas and other parasites on dogs. The product is effective in treating various breeds, including Yorkshire Terriers. Delcid can be used not only for directly treating the animal but also for exterminating insects indoors. Treating dog bedding ensures complete flea elimination, significantly reducing the risk of reinfestation.

Delcid Instructions for Use

For a product used to eliminate fleas and other parasites, Delcid has a set of rules that must be strictly followed. Before starting to use the medication, it is necessary to study:

• The composition of the product;
• Its form of release;
• The procedure for preparing the solution;
• Recommended dosages;
• Frequency of use of the product;
• Duration of treatment. Strict adherence to the instructions ensures quick elimination of parasites from the dog.

Composition and Action of Delcid

The main active ingredient in the product is the pyrethroid deltamethrin - an active insecticidal agent. Its concentration in the solution is 4%. The following components are used as auxiliary substances to provide optimal conditions for the action of the pyrethroid:

1. Neonol;
2. Tween 80;
3. Nefras. The action of the product consists of blocking the insect's nervous system. This leads to a state of complete muscular paralysis, causing the flea to die quickly. Many owners worry that using the product may poison the dog. The product is specific to insects and, when used correctly, does not have a toxic effect on the pet. In rare cases, if the product comes into contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth, slight irritation may occur. A pronounced toxic effect on the animal's body as a whole is usually not observed.

Solution and Dosage

The product is available in the form of a solution, which can be packaged in various containers:

1. Ampoules of 1.5-2 cm3;
2. Bottles of 1000-1300 cm3;
3. Canisters of 5-20 dm3. To treat domestic Yorkshire Terriers, it is sufficient to purchase one or two ampoules. A standard package contains 5 ampoules, which is sufficient for one animal. More voluminous forms of release are intended for animal breeders who need to treat several dogs at once.

Treating Animals with Delcid

Owners need to know how to use Delcid and how to treat their dogs to completely eliminate insects. The product should be sprayed using a "Rosinka" type sprayer. The dosage of the product is calculated by the formula - for every kilogram of the animal's weight, 5-10 ml of the solution should be used. When performing the procedure, a set of rules must be followed:

• Spray the animal against the direction of hair growth;
• Avoid areas near mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nostrils);
• To prevent the solution from entering the dog's mouth, a muzzle should be put on the dog or its jaws should be tightly secured with a strap;
• Whenever possible, spray the dog outdoors rather than indoors;
• If the air temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius, all windows should be opened and the room should be thoroughly ventilated before the procedure. The procedure can be repeated multiple times if the dog's condition is severe. The interval between procedures should be at least 7 days. A multiple treatment course is especially recommended for sarcoptic mange - an infestation of the pet by subcutaneous acariasis mites. This disease usually has a chronic course as insects multiply rapidly. Delcid for dogs should be used at least 3 times to eliminate all parasite colonies. To prevent reinfestation, it is necessary to discard the animal's bedding or treat it with Delcid. The dosage of the product is 10 ml per square meter of surface. After treating the bedding, it should be placed in a well-ventilated area where the dog cannot access (e.g., on a balcony). It should be left there for 3 days. After this, the bedding should be washed with a strong disinfectant. Only after washing should it be returned to the animal.

Safety Measures

Strict adherence to safety precautions is necessary. Improper use of the product can lead to it coming into contact with human mucous membranes, causing side effects. Therefore, it is important to follow the rules established by the instructions for use:

• Gloves, a respirator, or a mask should be worn before treating the dog;
• Smoking and eating should be avoided during the procedure;
• If the product comes into contact with mucous membranes, the procedure should be stopped, and the product should be rinsed off with plenty of water;
• If a person accidentally ingests the product, they should dissolve 7-10 activated charcoal tablets in warm water and drink the solution;
• In case of poisoning with Delcid, a saline laxative can be used additionally;
• If signs of poisoning appear (nausea, vomiting, headaches), medical attention should be sought. Special attention should be paid to the actions after completing the procedure. The person should remove personal protective equipment, wash hands and face with warm water and soap. Clothing used during the treatment should be washed. The container in which the solution was prepared should be washed with lime chloride. After this, it should not be used for household purposes. After the procedure, the dog should wear a muzzle for 15-20 minutes. For the next 12 hours, the animal should not be petted, and it should be isolated from contact with small children.

Side Effects

Side effects after using Delcid are usually not observed. In rare cases, vomiting, salivation, and pronounced muscle tremors may occur. These changes indicate increased sensitivity of the dog to the action of the product. If side effects occur, it is recommended to stop the treatment, wash the dog immediately, and take it to the veterinarian for examination. To reduce the risk of side effects, possible contraindications should be determined before the procedure. The treatment should not be performed on weakened or sick dogs. It is not recommended to use the product on pregnant females if the expected delivery date is less than 2 weeks away.

Price

The price of 5 ampoules of Delcid is on average 150-200 rubles. A 1-liter bottle of the medication costs approximately 2000 rubles. The cost of the medication depends on the region and the pharmacy policy where the purchase is made.

Storage and Disposal

The product should be stored in the packaging provided by the manufacturer. The permissible storage temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. The product should be kept out of reach of children and animals. The ampoules should not be exposed to direct sunlight, as contact with direct sunlight may adversely affect the composition of the product. The shelf life of the product is 2 years. Using the medication after the expiration date may lead to the development of side effects, so it is important to check the validity of the product before starting the procedure. Thus, Delcid is an effective product that allows for the quick elimination of fleas and other ectoparasites on dogs. Therefore, when insects are detected, it is recommended to purchase the product and thoroughly treat the pet. This will significantly improve the dog's condition and please its owner.
