Deworming dogs is something that every little owner needs to do and must do, because parasites on dogs are zoonotic. These parasites are not only detrimental to the healthy growth of dogs, but also affect the human body. healthy. In order to create a safe life, we need to deworm our dogs in time when we find that dogs are infected with parasites. In daily life, you should also pay more attention to and protect your dog to avoid infection with parasites. Next, the editor wants to popularize the methods of deworming dogs and the things we need to pay attention to.
Parasites in dogs are divided into ectoparasites and endoparasites. Therefore, there must be targeted methods for different parasites of dogs. One key should be used to open one lock, and one treatment method cannot be used to treat parasites infected by different dogs.
A method of expelling internal parasites.
For internal parasites such as hookworm, nematode, toxoplasma, whipworm, roundworm, etc., you need to take medicine for your dog. You can go to the pet store to buy special internal deworming medicine. When necessary, you need to find a veterinarian for the right medicine.
Second, the method of expelling external parasites.
For external parasites such as fleas, lice, ticks, etc., there are drops and sprays. Oral deworming is generally not required, but for stubborn parasites such as ticks, the killing effect is better only by taking medicine (taking abamectin).
Three, matters needing attention.
1. Generally, puppies should be dewormed for the first time 20 to 30 days after birth. Mainly nematodes and ectoparasites. Deworming is then carried out every 2 to 4 months. Adult dogs should generally be dewormed every three months.
2. Before deworming your dog, fast for a few hours and feed your dog on an empty stomach. After taking the medicine, fast for about 12 hours, and you can drink water during this period.
3. Generally, dogs are reluctant to take deworming medicine directly. We can mix the medicine with food. Before, my father stuffed the deworming medicine into a small piece of ham sausage to tempt the dog to take the medicine. The editor wants to remind everyone that the deworming medicine must be wrapped in the ham sausage, otherwise the ham sausage will be eaten by the dog but the deworming medicine is still there.
4. After giving the medicine to the dog, pay attention to observe whether the puppy has white worms in the stool, and if not, it should be dewormed regularly.
5. If there is no special tool to control the dog, it is best not to do it yourself to prevent the dog from hurting people.
6. External parasites can generally be killed by a medicinal bath. For dog lice and fleas, you can also use household aerosol insecticides to kill mosquitoes and cockroaches. When spraying, be careful to avoid the dog’s mouth and nose. You can bring a spray to the dog’s nose and mouth when spraying. mask or towel. Otherwise, the smell is irritating to the dog.
7. If the dog has more hair and is fluffy, when the dog is bathed with medicine, the hair will block the medicine, and some places may not be washed, which will affect the effect of the medicine bath. Therefore, we can shave the dog’s hair first, which is not only convenient for deworming, but also prevents repeated infection of parasites. The shaved hair also needs special attention, do not throw it casually, burn it or bury it deeply to prevent the spread and spread of parasites.
8. Once a dog is infected with parasites, some parasites will often fall around the place where it lives. In order to prevent repeated infection, it is necessary to disinfect and kill insects, and replace the dog’s supplies in time, otherwise the dog will be repeatedly infected. , can only make the previous treatment ineffective, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. You can regularly put some freshly dried orange peels or lemon slices in the kennel, so that you can make your dog less prone to lice and fleas with little effort and time.
It is really not to be underestimated that dogs are infected with parasites. The reproduction rate of parasites is also quite fast. If we do not deal with them in time, we will not only lose our pets, but also let ourselves be infected with parasites, which will bring life danger. In life, if you want to deal with the relationship between people and dogs, you should do a good job in all aspects. Only by caring for dogs can you live a better life with dogs. I hope this article can be helpful to the little owners, who can play and live happily with their dogs every day.
