In addition to causing discomfort on the surface of the body, the dog's ectoparasites may also bring parasites in the body, of which blood parasites are mainly infected by ticks, hidden in blood cells, which will cause "blood parasitic infectious diseases". The following are the three most common conditions: 1. Scorch worms The scorch worm mainly infects red blood cells in the blood, and the incubation period of the disease is about two weeks, but there are cases of up to months or even years. Symptoms: weakness, loss of appetite, pale mucous membranes, yellow bile, etc. In addition, platelets in the blood will be greatly reduced, white blood cells may increase or decrease, or there may be kidney failure. 2. Elich syndrome Elich body mainly infects white blood cells in the blood, which will lead to a decrease in the number of platelets, resulting in vasculitis, a decrease in the number of white blood cells, a slight anemia, and severe anemia. Symptoms: Ehrlich's disease is divided into two types: acute infection and chronic infection. Acute infection may cause abnormal bleeding spots due to insufficient platelets, especially on the oral mucosa, or fever, mental disorder, and weight loss. Chronic infections can cause abnormal bleeding, anemia, lymphadenopathy, scrotum and extremity edema, and in severe cases may result in enlarged spleen, enlarged liver, uveitis, anterior atrial bleeding, and retinal bleeding leading to blindness. 3. Lyme disease Lyme disease usually leads to arthritis, claudication, and mental loss of appetite. Lyme disease is circulating around the world, with 90% of cases in the United States, but it has also occurred in Taiwan in recent years. The disease is prone to mammals, so dog owners cannot be ignored. Symptoms: Symptoms of Lyme disease infection in dogs include arthritis, sudden sharp pain, claudication, fever, lethargy and loss of appetite, and severe infections may also affect the brain, heart and kidneys.
