Animal Parasites

Animal parasites refer to the common parasites that afflict animals, such as worms, ticks, mites, lice, and fleas. Animal parasites come in two varieties, external and internal, and can be very troublesome for the animal, sometimes leading to severe illness or death. There are often treatment options for these parasites, but the best way avoid exposure is for animals to receive regular veterinary care.

Where do you inject the dog for the rabies?

The vaccine is adminstered subcutaneously, which is under the skin. However, in the United States, only an accredited veterinarian can administer a rabies vaccination - if you do this at home, your dog is presumed to be unvaccinated and could be impounded or euthanized if it bites someone.

How do parasites work?

Parasites live in a host, usually an animal. In the animal's intestines, the egg of the parasite hatches. It makes a worm that lives off the host. When an animal excretes waste, some unhatched eggs are excreted too. If another animal or human eats something contaminated by that waste, they can ingest the eggs. The cycle continues in a new host.

Humans also eat some animals. If the animal's meat is not cooked properly, the meat can contain parasite eggs. The eggs hatch in the human's intestines and grows into a worm. The human can excrete eggs in their waste... the cycle continues.

Why is there blood and black flakes in your cats ears?

The answer is really simple: because your cat has fleas.

The blood is from where the fleas have been tucking into their favourite meal: your pet's blood. The black flakes are actually their feces and a clear sign that your cat has (or has had) fleas, even if you can't see any live fleas in your cat's coat.

Time for action!

Use your preferred anti-flea product on your pet, make sure their litter box is clean, clean your carpet, your couch, your cat's favourite place to sleep, even your bedding if needed, and let's hope those nasty little bugs will not return.
