Fleas and Ticks

Fleas: A kind of blood-sucking parasite that even cause anemia. Often, blood transfusion is required to save the animal. It also passes on tapeworms to a dog. Some heartworm prevention can control fleas apart from the various other flea controls that are available.

Ticks: A small parasite that can be found anywhere on a dog, mostly in ears and between toes. Diseases such as ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease and rocky mountain spotted fever can be passed on by fleas. Ticks can be prevented by special collars or
flea and tick applications to the skin.

Intestinal Parasites

Hook, round and whip worms: Intestinal parasites can be acquired from the mother dog to puppies or from the soil. When dogs sniff and taste they pick up a variety of parasites from the soil through contaminated feces. You can sometimes see roundworms in the stool of dogs but hook and whip worms can't be seen. These worms can be passed on to small children who run around barefoot. Though most heartworm prevention can control these worms, a routine deworming is also recommended.

Single-celled organisms: The infection caused by Coccidia and Giardia have symptoms such as diarrhea and lethargy. Deworming doesn't help. The vet needs to check the stool to identify the presence of these organisms then the right medicine can be prescribed. 

Heartworm

Heartworms: Mosquitoes can transmit many diseases including heartworms to dogs. Heartworms can't be easily removed. The best treatment will be a monthly visit to the vet.

You need to remove the heartworm completely before administering your dog preventive medicines. Don't wait for symptoms to appear, test it for heartworms. Some of the symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing, lack of energy, and poor haircoat. These symptoms are not restricted only to heart disease. Patience is the key as treating it consumes a lot of time and money. Don't let your dog suffer, use heartworms preventive medicines.

Combination medicines: Most heartworm preventative medications can prevent intestinal parasites and sterilize or kill fleas as well. It is best to ask your vet which heartworm medicine is suited for your pet.

Injuries

Fight wounds: From small bite wounds and scratches to major trauma and damage, fight wounds can cause your pet a great deal of pain if untreated. Mostly it's the animal that has not been spayed or neutered that gets into a lot of fights. Cats can spread viral infections through bites. Suturing or amputation of a limb is required in the case of more serious injuries. Get your pet proper medical care if it is injured in any way.

Hit by car: Fractures are common when a car hits an animal and may look like a fight injury. The vet might take X-rays to determine the seriousness of the injury.

Household accidents: As simple as a sprain or as serious as a fracture can be caused by indoor accidents such as the animal falling off the bed or eating its favorite toy. You may also trip over an animal or drop it by mistake. When instances such as these happen, call your vet.

Poisoning: Antifreeze in the driveway, rat poison, prescription medications or a variety of drugs and chemicals that are not good for a dog or a cat can poison it. Contact your vet immediately and he / she will help you and your pet through this. Animal Poison Control Center established by the ASPCA is manned 24/7. You can contact them at (888) 426-4435. They are currently charging $65 per consultation.
