Types of parasites
In vitro: fleas, lice, ticks, mites, etc.
In vivo: coccidia, tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms , Trichomonas, etc.
How to judge whether a dog has parasites?
The following situations can be used for reference:
① The frequency of the dog’s tickling increases, and the butt is also rubbed very frequently.
② Black spots appear on the dog’s body.
③ When the dog is not pregnant, the abdomen looks very swollen, and the body is thin, but the food intake is more than usual,
This situation indicates that the dog may have a lot of parasites, and quickly deworm the dog.
④ In addition to the dog being sick, the dog has symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, lack of energy, lethargy and so on under normal conditions.
There is a high probability that it is affected by internal parasites. Go to the veterinary clinic in time.
⑤ Observe whether there are parasites in the dog’s stool. If necessary, collect a stool sample and go to the pet hospital or animal husbandry station for testing.
When can I start deworming
A typical dog is about a month old Deworming can be done. Because maternal parasites can be passed on to the next generation of dogs through pregnancy.
Frequency of deworming
Regular deworming of the body can prevent the most severe problems in dogs Susceptible diseases such as enteritis, canine distemper, intestinal parasites, scabies and otitis externa
It is recommended for puppies to once every three months in vivo and once a month in vitro. Adult dogs are recommended once every six months.
When the dog is dewormed for the first time, if the dog defeces a large number of parasites, it is recommended to deworm the body again after half a month.
Deworming dose
should Feed the dog in doses according to the dog’s weight, age, according to the instructions for the dewormer
, or as recommended by your local veterinarian.
General deworming medicines will stimulate the stomach and intestines of dogs. It is recommended to feed them three hours after meals.
Note:
Vaccination is not the same as giving deworming medicine. It is recommended to wait for seven days after the vaccination, and if the dog has no adverse reactions, it can be dewormed.
To date, there is no single dewormer that can get rid of all types of parasites alone.
So when we deworm the dog, we can consult the local pet hospital to “deworm the disease” for different kinds of parasites.
Always pay attention to the hygiene of the dog’s growing environment. Treat the dog in time to avoid infection and take care of the dog’s healthy growth.
