Intestinal parasitic diseases are one of the diseases that are extremely common in daily dog ​​raising. Dogs accidentally ingest worm eggs exposed to the environment. These worm eggs will become parasitic in the dog's stomach. Daily hygiene care is unscientific. All eating habits may lead to the occurrence of intestinal parasitic diseases in dogs.

Hazards:

The infection rate is high and is usually transmitted through the digestive tract. If the pregnant female dog has intestinal parasites, it can be transmitted to the puppies through the placenta.

Symptoms:

1. Loss of appetite, malnutrition, and weight loss;

2. Pale gums, bulging abdomen, vomiting or diarrhea, blood in the stool or mucus-like diarrhea, and sometimes intermittent abdominal pain;

3. Bite or rub the anal area;

4. When large parasites such as roundworms are present, they may cause acute abdominal diseases such as intestinal obstruction, intestinal volvulus or even intestinal perforation. Dead worms, eggs or proglottids can be seen with the naked eye in the feces of sick dogs.

5. Protozoa such as coccidia and trichomonas can cause blood and jelly in dogs and cats.

Treatment:

If symptoms related to the disease occur, you need to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis through stool testing, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If new conditions occur during the treatment, you need to be followed up in time.

Brand-name deworming pills usually work against several different intestinal parasites. The drug kills or paralyzes the parasites, and the parasites can be excreted in the stool.

Prevention:

1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the dog's diet at ordinary times, do not allow the dog to forage for food when going out, and do not feed undercooked meat or offal.

2. Use internal anthelmintics regularly every month for deworming.
