Recently, the shoveling brother community came to a furry new cute, called Bobo, which is the following 3-month-old little golden retriever ~ ~
This little guy attracted everyone's attention when he first arrived, and I was cruelly ignored
Well ~ jealousy makes me ugly! Later, after chatting with his master, I learned that Bobo had just come back not long ago, and although it was smelly, he still did not dare to bathe it
After all, people are only two months old! Understand~
Lovely Bobo
Just last week, Bobo's vaccine was all done, and the owner decided to take it with him to wash the dirty one. The result was simply a surprise to the host!
Those hidden in the bobomao are not dust at all, but dense fleas eggs...
These eggs can not be washed off by washing with water, Bobo's parents said that after knowing it at the time, and then looking at the black dots on its body, they really felt itchy on their bodies...
Bobo himself is also more and more uncomfortable, usually when the ball mother is at home, she can only look at it and not let it tickle, but once there is no one at home, Bobo will turn on the scratching body mode~
After that, Bobo's owner gave Bobo an extracorporeal deworming, and although the flea feces and eggs on his body were cleared, Bobo would still scratch himself.
Bobo can be said to be "a dog flea, the whole family suffered", and finally developed into another Bomei in the family also itched, not only that, Bobo's owner also found adult fleas on the towel used by the family...
It's such a tiny insect body! Don't underestimate it, whether it is a person or a dog that has been bitten by it, it will have a big bag on it! And it's incredibly itchy!
If you have a large bag like the picture on your body, the shoveling brother is responsible for telling you that your family has attracted fleas!
And fleas, which are all pests of humans and animals, are generally attached to the hair roots of dogs, which is difficult to find, but once found, basically everywhere in the house!
Of course, Bobo was not spared... Later, after shaving Bobo's hair, he found that his body was also bitten by fleas! No wonder it rolls on the ground every day!
Many friends may feel that why are there still fleas at home after a period of time?
Shovel brother wants to say that there are not a few dogs in such a situation as Bobo, if the adult worms have laid eggs in various places, it is not an in vitro deworming can solve it!
Because the eggs of fleas may be spread to various parts of the home in addition to the dog:
Like the bed seam.
Towel on.
Or on the clothes of their families, they are the places where they live. Why are fleas so rampant that they can be extinguished and regenerated?
Some owners like to play outdoors after the dog is dewormed, but if you jump into the puddle, you must know that there are many eggs in the puddle after the rain! Therefore, everyone must choose carefully when playing outdoors
Therefore, in order to avoid their pets being harmless to people and animals, the shoveler will give you some common problems for deworming after a long holiday:
How big can a dog be to repel insects?
Are bugs on dogs that can be expelled by bathing?
Do you need to be repellent if you don't look like a bug?
Have you done deworming for dogs before and do it again?
We know that deworming is divided into two types: in vivo and in vitro.
In vivo: can be started after 6 weeks of age
In vitro: can be started after 8 weeks of age
No!
The role of bathing dogs is mainly to clean the body of floating ash and grease, but it is not guaranteed to kill fleas and other parasites.
Moreover, the parasites are tenacious, and some can survive at water temperatures above 60°, so bathing alone cannot meet normal deworming needs.
Do you still use insect repellents when you don't look like a bug on your body?
Don't be lazy, don't think that you just repelled insects last month, and if you can't see the insects this month, you don't feel the need to deworm again.
Fleas seen by the naked eye actually account for only 5% of the entire fleas family, and the remaining 95% of flea eggs, young fleas, etc. are hidden in the environment and will not be easily detected. So when you see fleas on your dog, it's likely that the fleas in the house have also been flooded. The same is true of other ectoparasites.
need!
Because there is no guarantee that every Awana Meow will be dewormed on time before going to foster care, and for ectoparasites: the shortest growth cycle of fleas is only 14 days; the shortest growth cycle of ear mites is only 16 days;
What we can see is that in a short period of time, a new batch of parasites may make a comeback.
So the deworming cycle is preferably once a month!
In addition to shoveling, I also have an identity as the owner of the egg, as a person who likes dogs very much, I think that health science such as regular deworming should also be passed on to everyone often.
Even if you don't buy it, you can learn some dog knowledge. So today I will talk to you about the two parasites in vivo and in vitro.
So, let's talk about deworming in the body, first look at the following unpacking diagram of the dog's heart:
What the hell is the thing in it? spaghetti?
No! This is a heartworm, and the picture above is the anatomical heart of a dog with heartworm.
Once the worms mature, they release microfilariae (the next generation of larvae) into the bloodstream, and these larvae mature as they look like this.
Pretty scary isn't it? Even more frightening is that mosquitoes are the main route of transmission of heartworms. The most frightening thing is that these parasites can be transmitted to humans (but the larvae do not survive and develop in the human body).
This is one of the reasons why dogs need to be dewormed every month: to kill heartworms.
Not only heartworms, but also internal parasites such as roundworms and hookworms in dogs also need to be removed regularly every month.
The owner pulled out a roundworm nearly 1 meter long from the dog's body
Once Ah Meow Ah Wang is infected with the body parasite, the following symptoms may occur:
1. Loss of appetite
2. Decreased exercise endurance
3. Difficulty breathing
4. Cough and vomiting
5. Anemia
6. Diarrhea
So! Once they have such symptoms, as the owner, you really have to take them to the hospital for a physical examination!
Let's talk about the in vitro parasites of dogs.
Many fat friends may have questions, why do they have to drive out of the body after they have been expelled?
Collective question mark faces...
In fact, you don't know, if the dog is playing outdoors with parasitic eggs on its paws or other parts (after all, parasitic eggs can exist anywhere), and then use your tongue to lick the paws, the parasite eggs are licked into the stomach by the dog...
Therefore, the importance of in vitro and in vivo deworming is not ranked before and after, it is very important!
Ectoparasites are more resistant than in vivo parasites. In the grass, on other dogs, in the flowers on the side of the road, it is possible to become a source of infection.
If your dog has any of the following conditions, it may be due to infection with ectoparasites.
For example, fleas.
Grass, flowers, floor slits, may be a gathering place for fleas. From a distance of 2 meters, they can jump on the dog and be taken home by the dog.
As the dog moves, fleas scatter throughout the home and then develop into flea cubs.
A female fleas can lay 25 eggs a day and more than 2,000 eggs in a lifetime.
What to do? Kill it!
