Parasites are a very serious threat to the health of dogs. If your dog is active outside frequently, the owner should send the dog's feces to the hospital for examination regularly to prevent the chances of parasites to survive in the dog's stomach and intestines.
1. What is a gastrointestinal parasite?
There are many factors that cause gastrointestinal discomfort for dogs. When dogs are walking and playing outside, they often have the opportunity to accidentally eat insect eggs exposed to the environment, which will parasitize in the dog's stomach and intestines.
2. Causes of the disease
Common infections include roundworms, whipworms, hookworms, coccidiosis, tapeworms and pear-shaped flagellate infections. Some of the infections come from the mother's infection, while others are caused by the insect eggs that eat into the environment, which hatch into adults in the dog's body.
3. Clinical symptoms
The owner can observe that the dog may become greedy, but its weight has dropped significantly: bloody stools or mucous diarrhea, sometimes intermittent abdominal pain, and peristaltic adults found in the feces.
4. Diagnosis method
The disease can be determined through dog feces testing.
5. Treatment method
1. Take the dog's fresh feces to the hospital and ask the doctor to test it. After confirming the disease, it can be cured by taking some insecticide appropriately. After taking medicine, it usually has good results.
2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the dog's living environment and avoid eating randomly when taking the dog outdoors for a walk.
