All living things rejoice in the spring warmth – people, animals, vegetation, and along with them parasitic insects.
Inexperienced dog owners relax at this time, forgetting about the danger that haunts their pets during a spring walk outside.
Veterinarian Ekaterina Gulyaeva told Pravda.Ru in an interview how to protect your pet, as well as what deadly threat lies in wait for animals.
According to the specialist, the danger is posed by the ixodid tick. The insect is a carrier of the disease Babesia canis.
This is a parasitic disease, a blood parasitic disease. The animal is at risk of death, the veterinarian explains.
Dog owners need to think about treating their animals in advance. In advance means before the onset of warm and "days of light".
Treatment is carried out using tablets "Bravecto", "Simparica", "Nexgard".
Among other things, one must not forget about monthly treatment against helminths and fleas.
If the animals do not leave the apartment, then the treatment is carried out once every 3 months.
