Almost all people keep at home some little animal,and if the size of the apartment, family composition and financial possibilities permit, try not to limit oneself to fish, parrots or hamsters. Most still choose a cat or dog. Sooner or later, all the cat, dog owners face unpleasant "neighbors" - fleas.
There are almost no differences, and if we take into account the influence of the cityon our pets, then the small difference that still exists is leveled. The cat's parasites are unable to survive on a person, because they practically do not pass to him. Another thing, fleas in dogs - are transmitted to a person and for a while can exist on it. However, even on the four-armed, these insects do not live constantly. To eat - yes, to breed - yes, but "permanent residence" to parasites is not required. They laid eggs, infected the room - and traveled on. But the danger is not that fleas in dogs are transmitted to humans, they still carry various diseases - this is also dangerous "dog" variety.
These parasites carry a variety of diseases,fraught with consequences for animals - insects feed on blood, through which it is easiest to infect an infection. But we will focus only on those that harm the owners. If there are fleas in dogs, helminths are primarily transmitted to humans. The harm inflicted on them, to describe unnecessarily, even preschool children know about these parasites, which mothers diligently learn to wash their hands before eating.
But there is an even more terrible danger,which threatens fleas in dogs: transmitted to humans rabies viruses. Traditionally, it is believed that this deadly disease passes from the animal only with the bite of the latter, through saliva and blood. But after all, the fleas eat just blood, and if they fed to your pet on a sick dog, they can transfer rabies viruses from it to a pet or you. Of course, the probability of infection from a flea is much lower than when you meet a rabid animal, but you do not need to exclude it.
First of all, this constant combing,especially if it is accompanied by gnawing between the wool. Anxiety, nervous behavior, irritability is the result of a constant itch of flea bites. Traces of them can be easily detected most often on the withers, in the groin and on the inside of the hind legs, around the tail. With good eyesight, touching the dog's coat, you can see traces of parasite feces. All these signs speak of one thing: we need to treat dogs against fleas.
First of all, you will need to change the litterAn animal or thoroughly disinfect it (boiling is usually enough). Anti-bulldozer treatment room is treated entirely, special attention is paid to carpets and upholstered furniture - most likely, the whole space is infected. If the dog has already manifested an allergy to flea bites, a veterinarian will need to consult so as not to aggravate the reaction, and only then treatment begins.
Before buying a medicine for fleas for dogs,it is necessary to estimate the age of the animal, the degree of its damage to insects, habits and health, the presence or absence of treatment already being used against other diseases. Especially cautious should be when treating a pregnant or nursing female.
Then the method of administration of the drug is chosen: drops, spray, injections, shampoos. After removing the parasites for a walk, wear an anti-collar dog collar on the dog - this will reduce the risk of flea re-production.
