Nowadays, many people like to raise dogs at home, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to when raising dogs. It is recommended that everyone understand the precautions for raising dogs in advance. For example, dogs have parasites, do dog parasites have any impact on people, and what medicine should dogs take for parasites?
Both external and internal parasites in dogs are contagious. If pet owners fail to disinfect their feces with bugs or do not wash their hands in time after close contact with puppies, they may be infected with parasites. Therefore, after discovering that a puppy is infected with parasites, measures should be taken to help it remove the parasites to prevent the parasites from causing harm to dogs and humans.
1. Understand parasites
Parasites are a common disease in puppies' daily lives. If a puppy is infected with parasites, it will cause harm to its body, and may even lead to death in severe cases. Puppy parasites can be roughly divided into two types: internal parasites and external parasites. Internal parasites mainly include roundworms, tapeworms, coccidia, etc., and external parasites include fleas, lice, ticks, etc. Parasites will harm the health of the puppy, absorb the puppy's nutrients, and may also infect humans, so the puppy must be dewormed regularly.
2. Timely deworming
Puppies usually start deworming in their bodies when they are about 3 months old. After six months, deworming is carried out according to the specific conditions of the puppy. Generally, deworming is done once every three months. It is recommended that pet owners always keep a cat cat at home and deworm their puppies regularly. The deworming medicine given to the puppy is generally based on its weight and insect body. For specific pet owners, please refer to the instructions. In addition, deworming is usually done two hours after the puppy eats, which can reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
For external deworming, you need to choose professional and reputable drops for deworming. Do not take a bath within 24 hours after deworming, so as not to affect the performance of the drug.
3. Reactions after feeding anthelmintics
Some puppies have weak gastrointestinal conditions and may experience some adverse reactions after taking anthelmintics, such as vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, etc. Pet owners can fast for half a day, and feed the puppy some warm water during this period, and add Wang Yi Zhi to the water to help coordinate disordered flora and protect its stomach.
Okay, after seeing this, everyone has a solution for whether your dog has parasites.
