Summer is coming, and bug problems are knocking on the door! Mao parents, watch out! Being bitten by insects is actually not just red, swollen and itchy, so it is okay to simply scratch.
The summer is warm and humid, with fleas, ticks, mosquitoes... Wait for the opportunity for insects to breed!
These ectoparasites also affect hairy babies in different ways. Among the common exoplasms - fleas and ticks - are all too familiar to everyone!
➤ Fleas
Fleas are easily invisible to furry children and are most likely to appear on the back and root of the tail of pets. If fleas are infected with tapeworms, the hairy child may lick the flea down the stomach during the hair grooming process, and the tapeworm eggs will follow into the body. It develops in the small intestine of pets, but is excreted because it is not digested, so whenever white nodules the size of a grain of rice appear in the feces, and sometimes peristalsis, it is proof of the existence of tapeworms.
If the fleas themselves are not infected with tapeworms, the pet will not be infected, but other reactions to flea bites will still occur.
Symptoms: weight loss, itchy anus, weak ‧‧‧ and other symptoms, some hairy children will also have allergy-related symptoms, such as: hair loss, skin redness‧‧‧ etc.
It makes the hairy child miserable! But if the fleas themselves are not infected with tapeworms, the hairy child will not be infected, but other bite reactions may occur!
➤ Tick :
Ticks most often haunt the grass, and they reproduce even more quickly in the hot summer; once they are bitten by ticks with the pathogen of "Ehrlich body" and "scorch worm", they will become infected with diseases for life and cannot be cured.
symptoms:
"Ehrlich body": physical weakness, anemia, shortness of breath‧‧‧ and other symptoms, which in severe cases may lead to death.
"Scorch worm": destruction of red blood cells, anemia, fever, weakness of the limbs, darkening of urine, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice or other more serious symptoms.
"Lyme disease": common symptoms are joint pain, swelling, but also tiredness, fever, lymphadenopathy... and other symptoms, and even some can cause kidney disease. The most common symptom is the appearance of itchy and painless erythema on the skin, while other common symptoms include fever, headache, and tiredness. If left untreated, it may evolve into unilateral or bilateral paralysis of the face, arthritis, severe headache with neck stiffness, palpitations, ‧‧‧.
significant!! "Lyme disease" is a zoonotic infectious disease, and Avril Lavigne, a well-known foreign rock diva, has been bedridden for several months due to Lyme disease.
Mosquitoes ➤ heartworms
Infected by mosquito bites. When mosquitoes bite dogs with heartworms and bite other healthy pets, they spread the heartworms. Heartworms travel through the bloodstream all the way to the heart and parasitize, so named because a trace of winding wraps around the heart. Usually there are no obvious symptoms at the beginning, so medical attention is delayed, and it is too late to detect them.
symptoms
Coughing, exhaustion, difficulty breathing, and severe death.
➤ Cysts
Most of the infections are caused by vertical mother-child transmission, but it can also be infections in contact with other dogs. Healthy dogs may not necessarily develop the disease if they also have hair follicles, but once the immunity declines, the hairy follicles will multiply in large numbers and cause dermatitis. Because the eggs develop into adults for about a month and stay in a corner of the host's body, they require continuous treatment for at least 3 months to be completely cured.
There will be a rash with pus like a pimple, usually starting to develop around the eyes, mouth and face, and will be severe to the hands, because of constant bites and symptoms of hair loss, ulceration, and finally elephant skin-like elephant skin.
