The first thing that many parents think of after raising a child is to get a vaccine. In fact, in addition to getting a vaccine, there is one more thing that must not be ignored-deworming. The deworming is not only related to the health of the babies, but also related to the health of the owner, so the deworming is really important, very important, very important (not limited to a hundred times)! ~
Misunderstandings about deworming
1. If you don't see worms on your pet, you don't need to expel worms.
I 've heard many people around me tell me this, but it's a big mistake to think so! Because there are many parasites that humans can't see with the naked eye, and hairy children are covered with hair, especially long-haired dogs like pork belly. The fur surface on their bodies is difficult to see, and some parasites like to hide On the skin of pets, and the variety of parasites is beyond people's imagination!
2, pets have been vaccinated, you don't have to deworming
First of all, we need to make it clear that vaccination and deworming cannot be confused, just like eating and bathing, it is not the same thing at all! We all know that vaccination is to prevent the occurrence of some diseases, such as rabies, canine distemper and other infectious diseases, and the vaccine has no effect on pet parasites.
3, deworming only need to drive once
The effective time of most anthelmintic drugs can only be maintained for one to three months. The anthelmintic is not a once-and-for-all thing, but should be done regularly! And the hairy children are living creatures, they will go everywhere, and in the meantime may be infected with new parasites.
4. My pet never goes out and does not need deworming
Many parents think that as long as Mao's children stay at home and don't go out, there is no need to waste money on deworming. But just like we stay at home, we may catch a cold and have a fever. Not going out does not mean absolute safety. Because the spread of bacteria and eggs is extremely strong, as long as you can go out, they may be adsorbed on you and brought home by you, and human beings may become the largest vector of infection. Besides, the home is not a sterile warehouse or a vacuum chamber. How can we ensure that Mao children are not infected?
5. No deworming in winter
Completely wrong! The deworming has nothing to do with the season, and the parasites will not disappear completely in any season. The big battle of worms is a protracted battle, and we must stick to it!
The harm of insects
1. Plunder nutrition
Some parasites mostly feed on the digested or semi-digested food nutrition in the host body, resulting in the host eating too much but not growing meat. Some suck the host's blood, causing the host to be in a state of anemia for a long time and causing diseases. (for example, ticks)
2. Mechanical damage
When the parasite parasitism in the parasitic site, causing local damage. Such as a large number of ascaris accumulated in the small intestine caused by small intestinal blockage; individual ascaris mistakenly into the bile duct caused by bile duct blockage.
3. Toxins and Immune Damage
The metabolites, secretions and substances after the disintegration of the insect body are harmful to the host, causing host poisoning and immune dysfunction. (such as mites)
4. Secondary infection
some insects invade the host will bring some bacteria, viruses, etc. into the body together. Make the host susceptible to some other diseases. (such as mosquitoes)
(the above part refers to the network)
Methods of deworming
The deworming is divided into in vitro deworming and in vivo deworming. The more common in vitro deworming drugs are divided into drops and sprays. In vivo deworming drugs are usually oral, and of course there are oral drugs with internal and external deworming (such as super-credible).
External parasite control
ectoparasites are usually mainly fleas, ticks, mites, lice, etc., which mainly cause pet skin diseases and ear diseases. Dogs like to play in the grass and other places, this is the main way dogs infected with parasites. If you find that your hairy children often rub on the ground or bite themselves with their teeth and have small red bumps on their bodies, you must pay attention to it. It is very likely that they have been infected.
in vitro deworming method: generally speaking, in vitro deworming is required every 1-3 months. you must not think that you have done a good job in hygiene and do not deworming. there is no conflict between in vitro deworming and bathing. however, it is recommended to carry out in vitro deworming after bathing. washing off epidermal dirt is more helpful for deworming drugs to work.
how to use the drops: randomly select 3-5 points from the neck along a straight line from the spine to the tail, pull open the hair to leak out of the skin, and then squeeze the drops on the skin. the drugs will be slowly absorbed by themselves, and the whole body will work. parents need to be specially reminded that they must pay attention to the position where the hairy children cannot lick. how to use the spray: hold the spray 10-20cm away from the dog, spray it against the hair to make the whole body wet, then rub the spray site, and wait for the hair to dry naturally (pay attention to avoid the position of eyes and mouth). In particular, there is a spray that can be used by dogs and cats over two days old, and it is non-toxic and can be licked, which is very safe. When insects are rampant in summer, it is safe and reassuring to spray the baby before going out ~
because the pork belly has just finished deworming in vitro recently, I will briefly show the usage of the drops with photos below (I did not tear the package, and when you use it, you can tear it at the seal to drop the drops).
in vivo deworming
Common body parasites are mainly: hookworm, tapeworm, heartworm, toxoplasma gondii and so on. Generally, puppies need to be deworming for the first time around the full moon. Puppies six months ago need to be driven once a month, and dogs six months later need to be driven once every 1-3 months. In particular, it is necessary to pay close attention to the excrement of the baby after deworming. If something similar to rice grains or noodles is found to be parasites, then the second deworming needs to be carried out after 15 days and the third deworming needs to be carried out in another 15 days, because the deworming medicine is ineffective on the eggs, and it needs to be given a time for growth and development before being wiped out at one stroke.
Selection of anthelmintic
How should I choose the dazzling array of anthelmintic drugs on the market? Let's share my experience with you ~
I have used the commonly used anthelmintic drugs for pork belly. In vivo, there are baitqing and dog heart protection. In vitro, there are big favor, Falain and baitang. In the same exortment, there are super credible (oral) and Walker (external). Next, I will introduce ~
body one by one:
dog heart protection: produced in the United States, beef flavor, targeting hookworm, roundworm and prevention of heartworm. Although the transmission rate of heartworm in China is not high and has not attracted enough attention from parents, heartworm is extremely difficult to cure and has a high mortality rate. It is only transmitted through blood through mosquito bites. Therefore, in summer, I suggest using dog heart protection for insect repellent in the body. The price is about 40 yuan/grain.
baichongqing: made in Germany, simple tablets are not as good as dog's heart protection in taste. it can solve most of the endoparasites on the market (but dogs weighing less than 6kg cannot eat them) and the price is about 50 yuan/tablet.
in vitro:
big favor: made in the United States, with high safety and no toxic and side effects when used at 10 times the dose. it is strongly recommended to use it for puppies under five months old, and the price is about 80-150 yuan/branch.
Fullen: produced in France, it has obvious effect on fleas and ticks. it can quickly kill fleas and ticks lurking in dogs, and the price is about 60 yuan/branch.
baitang Shuang: made in Germany, it can prevent dogs from being bitten by insects from the source, because it is an in vitro insect repellent with avoidance effect, which can drive them away before insects bite dogs, and the price is about 85-120 yuan/piece.
both internal and external repellency:
Aiwalker: produced in Germany, it has a particularly obvious effect on mites, and it is an anthelmintic that can treat systemic mites. Although it can be driven internally and externally, I suggest it should be used as an in vitro anthelmintic, because the effect of total sensory drops is not as well, the price is about 80-103 yuan/branch.
ultra-credible: French production, beef taste, has a good effect on ticks, can let ticks pull out their heads without staying in the body, and has a very good effect on scabies mites and demodex. ultra-credible is an upgraded version of nikexin. nikexin's price is about 75-106 yuan, and ultra-credible price is about 120-170 yuan.
here I would like to make a special note: ticks can infect a deadly blood parasite, namely Lyme disease (yes, that is, the kind of well-known singer Avril). once the infection is basically accompanied by a lifetime, the treatment will also hurt the enemy by 1,000 and 800, so parents must pay attention to it.
the above picture comes from the internet, which clearly indicates the insect spectrum of various anthelmintic drugs. parents can choose according to their own needs and the specific conditions of their children ~ when using it, they can take it according to the instructions or doctor's advice, not too much or not enough. It is suggested that parents also keep a record of each deworming so that they will not make a mistake.
another five rounds of hemp should remind parents that when purchasing anthelmintic drugs, they must be purchased through regular channels to avoid buying fake products, which not only cannot drive insects, but may also lead to pet poisoning. OK, go check the records quickly, is it time for your hairy children to expel insects again?
P.S.: The above is just my personal experience—feel free to take it as a reference!
