Animal Parasites

This is a recipe I found that works well. flea shampoo Mix together 2/3 c water, 1/3 c Dawn, 1 tsp cooking oil (any kind as long as it's liquid), 2 tbsp aloe (any kind as long as it's at least 99% pure), a few drops each of lavender and rosemary essential oils (optional). I found it's easiest to use if you put it in a squirt bottle. I use a Bug Juice bottle, but any sports bottle will work. It gives you a free hand to hold the cat with.

I have found that the Dawn with bleach alternative works best at killing fleas. The oil is to prevent the Dawn from drying out their skin. The aloe soothes bites and heals them. The lavender and rosemary repell the fleas and helps prevent reinfestation. You need to leave it on as long as possible before rinsing. 5 minutes is the recommended time, but 1 minute will kill most of the fleas. If 30 seconds is all your cat will allow, it will kill many, and is better than nothing. I suggest you have the washer filled with water and ready to go, hot water is best. You will want to put the towels in emediately because they will be filled with fleas that aren't quite dead but want to escape the cat. Your clothes may need to be added as well if any fleas jump on you. Another thing that works to help get rid of fleas is rosemary tea. Simmer rosemary in water, about a tsp per cup of water for dried rosemary. With fresh rosemary, you may need more. When the water has turned a yellow/brown, like a weak tea you would drink, strain it and let it cool. Put this in a spray bottle and use around the house. I spray furniture, carpets, beds, and even the cat in between baths. You will need to spray once a week until the fleas are gone. Lavender and mint both repell fleas, but not as good as rosemary and they don't kill the fleas. The tea works great, but won't kill eggs so it could take a couple of months to get rid of them all. If the infestation is really bad, the shampoo can be sprayed around the house the same way as the rosemary tea. There is nothing in it that could hurt you or your pets, and it even kills eggs. I wouldn't spray directly on the cat without rinsing, or it may get diarreah from licking it off.

There are a lot of different things that can happen if a human has worms. Some of these things include nausea, weakness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hunger or loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, and vitamin deficiencies.

It depends on the treatment, although the usual age is either 8 or 12 weeks and no earlier. If you are not sure, please double-check with your vet before using any sort of treatment on young puppies.

They ate rat intestines without BO

Since you can't use any kind of over the counter shamppo... i heard baby shampoo works (the human baby shampoo). Build up a think lather a let it sit for about 5 minutes, rinse and then use a flee comb to remove any other flees. The thick lather is supposed to drown the flees.

To find ticks in a bed it is best to strip the bed piece by piece and wash all bedding after inspection. Look under and around the frame as well.

You can usually deworm a puppy once he/she starts to eat on their own. However there are many different types of dewormer, and you should always check with your veterinarian first. Products like Strongid-T are ok to give to puppies under 6 weeks but should be monitered in case of any problems. 1cc per 22 pounds is given.

yes they can

Cats protect their family (if needed) by hissing, clawing, scratching, biting, meowing, and sometimes hiding for long periods of time (3 - 4 days at the most, so don't worry all you "Missing Cat!!" owners.).

yes dogs really need shots every year! XD are you dumb?

if they dont get their shots they could end up getting some kind of sick disease and end up biting some little boy or old man with a stick and then the random person could catch the disease, and SUE YOU!

so, in your best intrest, get your dogs the shots. please? for the sake of the un contaminated world.

we have enough disease going on without your dog going around all diseased biting everyone in sight.

roundworms

This is happening to my dog too. She is sick, lethargic, has wheezy breathing, pain, vomiting, and deep red bloody stools, of which are more blood than stool. She also won't eat, or drink anything and hasn't in 2 days. We have been forcing water with a syringe. The vet gave us antibiotics that don't really seem to be working, but they ran a bunch of test, all were negative. I think she is dying. Can anyone help please? Has anyone has anything like this happen to their companions?

Most mites are not terribly interested in biting humans and would much prefer to snack on a dead bird or a juicy plant. If, however, some pesky mites do get into your house, getting rid of the little pests might be difficult, but treating their tiny bites is fairly easy. Follow these steps.

1) Spread an anti-itch cream over the bitten area.

2) Do not scratch the bitten area. Scratching will only cause more pain, and

might even cause a skin infection, which could need medical treatment.

3) Visit your doctor if the bites don't clear within a week. If they persist, they

could be a rash or other skin irritation.

4) Look into treatments to rid your house of the mites. This will typically

involve getting rid of the pests that mites live on.

Pesticides will kill the mites, but they won't fix your problem unless you use them in conjunction with rodent or bird control.

The same medicine you give cats if it is a common worm infestation. Rabbits seldom get worms unless their cages are dirty.

Yes. Any warm blooded animal can get fleas.

Insects do not have lungs, they breath through spiracles and trachea - small holes leading to small tubes that deliver oxygen directly to cells using diffusion. They don't have blood the way we do, that is, their internal fluid carries no oxygen to cells, it merely circulates nutrients, hormones, immune cells, etc. They have a rudimentary heart that just sloshes the fluid around in their open interior, there are no blood vessels. Their brain is just an enlarged ganglia and can store about as much information as one of the older computer chips. They have accessory ganglia that aid eating, walking, flying and reactions to stimuli so the brain doesn't have to do all the work. So, you're right, they are about 90% involuntary behavior and have only about 10% volition. you welcome~Trisha~

in some certain shots it may cost more than 15$ but a puppy shots cost 15$ maximum

Some worms, or intestinal parasites, in humans are contagious. These parasites are called zoonotic. These worms include hookworms, whipworms and roundworms.

they come up from the ground and find food. they come up at night so they don't get eaten by a bird or some thing and they don't really do much apart from wiggler-ling around.

A fly can't hold its breath at all

It doesn't have lungs and can't control the entry and exit of air into its body, which happens by way of a series of holes (called 'spiracles') on the sides of its body leading to a series of branching tubes taking air into its body. Gaseous exchange takes place by diffusion alone (although some insects can contract and relax their muscles to force air in and out)

If you place an insect under water, air often gets trapped around its body due the nature of its 'skin' (actually called its exoskeleton) and the surface tension of the water - and air also remains in the tubes. It will take a considerable time for this air to be used up (maybe 5+ minutes).

If you add something like washing detergent to the water, this will break the surface tension of the water so that there will be little or no air trapped around the fly's body. This would give a much more accurate indication of how long it can survive without air. respond below :)

They can eat large breed dog food, but it is not advisable to give Chihuahua's large breed dog. The reason for this is because the food particles in most large breed dog foods are generally to big for small breed dogs to fit in their mouths and chew.

You don't want to pull the tick out because its head will break off and remain imbedded in your pet. The imbedded head is liable to create an infection. Pour a drop of olive oil, or other oil on the tick's body. As the tick suffocates, it will pull its head out before dying. I have heard that a drop of dish detergent also works, but I have never tried it.
