Parasites have always been the number one major concern for pet owners. After all, parasites can cause great harm to dogs. If you want to know if your dog has parasites, just look at 5 things.
1. Poop (whether there is an insect body)
Whether the poop is healthy can reflect whether the dog is healthy or not. For example, if the dog's poop is yellow or brown, has no odor and moderate hardness, I believe the dog is still very healthy.
However, if the poop is soft and smelly and there is a white insect body, it must be that there are too many parasites in the dog's body, which leads to abnormal poop in the dog. It is recommended that pet owners deworm their insects regularly.
2. Hair (whether there are black dots)
When combing dogs hair, pet owners should pay more attention to the roots of the hair to see if there are obvious black dots. If there are, put them in the water to see if they are red.
If it turns red in water, it must be fleas and other excrement, which proves that there are parasites in dogs, and the more black spots there are, the more parasites there are.
3. Dandruff (not much)
Whether the dog has parasites, it can also be seen from the dog's dander. For example, does the dog's hair and root have a lot of dander? If it shakes, it will fall a lot.
These danders may be parasite excrement. If there is too much dander, you should also consider deworming your dog. Besides, if the Bichon has a lot of dander on its body, it will also look ugly.
4. Ears (whether it smells smelly, are there ear mites)
If the dog's ears are very smelly and emit a odor, it means that the dog's ears are very dirty and are prone to breed ear mites. After all, the dog's ear canal environment is humid, so it is easy to breed bacteria.
The pet owner can directly drop some ear washing liquid into the dog's ears and rub it for a few minutes. After that, the dog will shake the ears and throw out the dirt. The pet owner can then use wet wipes and cotton swabs to clean the teeth.
5. Weight (Is it getting lighter and lighter)
If your dog usually eats a lot, but the dog's weight is getting lighter and lighter, then it is mostly because there are parasites in the dog's body, and all the nutrients are absorbed by the parasites, which causes the dog to lose weight and become thinner.
Pay more attention to deworming in daily life, and provide more protein-rich foods to meet the needs of dogs. Pay more attention to nutritional balance in daily life.
There are many ways to deworm, the most common one is to feed dogs with deworming medicine and drops. Remember, during the deworming period, the stomach and intestines of dogs will be stimulated, so they are prone to vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite. It is recommended to feed some probiotics two or three times a week to help relieve gastrointestinal discomfort.
