The cute star dragon fruit is a pet blogger on Douyin. He often shares his cute pet teddy and the loving pictures in his life. Some time ago, the shovel officer of the cute pet teddy became pregnant.

Many families who keep pets may encounter this problem: when the hostess is pregnant, other members of the family, especially the elders, will prohibit keeping pets, and pets that have already been raised are also required to be sent away. It is the parasites on pets that are not good for the fetus... For this reason, many families have given up their pets that have accompanied them for several years. But, is it really not allowed to keep pets during pregnancy? Can children and pets really not coexist?

Actually, keeping pets during pregnancy is not a taboo. Regular quarantine and internal and external deworming can effectively avoid infectious diseases carried by cats and dogs. What I want to say here is that the reason why elders prevent pets is mostly the fear of Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Toxoplasma gondii can cause fetal malformations, usually parasitic in on cats. (Seeing this, dog shoveling officers can rest assured and pay attention to indoor hygiene.) The main way of human infection with Toxoplasma gondii is oral infection, so we must pay attention to personal hygiene, such as: do not eat undercooked meat , Do not touch cat feces, do not sleep with pets, etc., are all effective ways to avoid infection with Toxoplasma gondii.

Precautions for pets for pregnant women:

1. Wash your hands frequently, remember to clean your personal hygiene after touching and holding pets; do not sleep with pets, kiss, etc., do not eat with pets Play with cats and dogs and keep cats from licking their hands or cheeks.

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of pets. Dogs should be bathed frequently, and cat litter should be changed frequently.

3. Go to the hospital for relevant examinations in the third month of pregnancy.

4. Meat food must be fully cooked before eating, fruits and vegetables should be carefully cleaned, and tableware should be disinfected regularly.

Although there are many things to pay attention to, all of this is done for the healthy growth and safe birth of the baby, and also to keep the pets at home. It's always good to be cautious for this happy ending!
