Dog owners sometimes wonder how their dog suddenly became ill. However, the dog's disease may be due to your poor deworming work. Parasites are very harmful to dogs and can cause many diseases.

1. Canine hepatica

Canine hepatica is an infectious disease transmitted by ticks, but not through bites and infection. Canine liver clusterworm is an infectious disease transmitted by ticks. The transmission route and method of ticks are different from Lyme disease or Ehrlichia, both of which are caused by tick bites. Infectious infectious diseases, but the infection mode of canine liver clusterworm is different. It does not come from the bite of a tick, but the dog is infected after eating the diseased tick. Of course, although the canine liver clumpworm is called canine liver clumpworm, it does not only infect dogs. As long as cats eat diseased ticks, they will also be infected, so canine liver clumps will infect both dogs and cats.

The common symptoms of canine liver cluster worm infection are vomiting, bloody diarrhea, fever, lack of energy, poor appetite, gradual weakness, muscle and joint pain, etc. However, these clinical symptoms are not specific. It cannot be diagnosed by clinical symptoms, and these symptoms are also similar to the symptoms of other tick-borne infectious diseases. However, in many cases, after being infected by Canis hepatica, there will be no clinical symptoms. These interfering factors Including an insufficiency of the immune system, immune anemia, steroid use, glomerulonephritis, severe tick infection, etc. In addition, the same is true in some young dogs, if they happen to suffer from ehrlichiosis, they will also be affected. The disease causes interference in research and judgment. Therefore, the examination of blood smears becomes very important, because from the blood smears, it can be seen that there are gametophytes of Canis hepatica in the white blood cells, which is a very important basis for diagnosis. .

2. Canine Ehrlichia

Canine Ehrlichia is a blood parasitic infection that is very common in dogs. Ehrlichia is a rickettsial pathogen, which is an infectious disease transmitted by tick bites on the skin of dogs.

After Ehrlichia causes infection in dogs, it will enter the blood and parasitize in white blood cells and platelets. Of course, these Ehrlichiae will not be like this. The destruction is just about to begin. Dogs infected with Ehrlichia are not easy to find signs of infection in the early stage, and the symptoms that can often be seen are often similar to those of other diseases, such as: fever, bad spirits, all day long Sleep, loss of appetite, weight loss, and even vomiting.

It is actually very simple to check for Ehrlichia, as long as you go to the hospital once every six months for a regular blood test for Ehrlichia, you can know the result of the test in less than ten minutes. Of course, in addition to regular inspections, it is also necessary to prevent the infection of Ehrlichia, which is mainly an infectious disease transmitted by ticks.

3. Pyrozoites

Pyrozoans are blood parasites that live in red blood cells in animals. In dogs, ticks are The main source of infection, the way of transmission of cats is not clear, in addition to ticks, sharing syringes and needles for blood transfusion will also cause the transmission of scorchworms.

The biggest harm to animals caused by scorched worms is anemia. Dogs who get scorched worms often have poor mental appetite, become weaker, and their body temperature will rise. Weight loss, gums and other mucous membranes become pale, if accompanied by symptoms of yellow gallbladder, the mucous membrane surface will also become yellow and yellow, and sometimes you can even see lumps of bleeding spots on the epidermis of the body, in addition, ascites, Symptoms related to the cardiovascular system, such as edema of the surrounding tissues, also appear in some dogs infected with Pyroworms, and some gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms may also appear. The clinical symptoms of cats and dogs are roughly the same. Pyrozoosis in cats usually occurs in young cats, such as poor mental appetite, increased breathing rate, diarrhea, thicker fur, pale mucous membranes, fast heartbeat, fever, etc. , are very common.

Because scorch is mainly transmitted by ticks, the prevention and control of ticks has become relatively important. It is very important for dogs to use tick-removing drugs for prevention. If you find a tick on your dog, don't grab it with your hands, or squeeze it, so as not to infect yourself.
