Tops Ways On How Dogs Are Dewormed
Introduction
A worm is a type of parasite living in the body of an animal or human. The worming process occurs when an affected animal or human ingests the eggs, larvae, or juvenile worms of the parasite. After some time, the parasites grow and mate inside the host’s body. The resulting eggs are passed in both feces and urine for many weeks after treatment with wormers has ended.
The following are 4 ways that worms are dewormed.
1. Injections
They are administered by a veterinarian. They are used to treat dogs that have roundworms, tapeworms, whipworms, and hookworms; there is no vaccine for these nematodes. Injection of medications into the body also has the potential to cause an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity in some animals. It may be difficult to pinpoint which animals are intolerant to a drug and they may develop an adverse reaction if exposed too soon after treatment with the same worming agent.
2. Tablets
They are made of different kinds of medicines. They are effective at killing some kinds of intestinal worms. They can be used in both adult and young dogs. The advantage of tablets is that they have a faster action than injections as they kill the parasites instantly when ingested. However, tablets should not be given to animals that are lactating or pregnant; if the animal has an upset stomach; if the animal is vomiting excessively, or if the animal is experiencing diarrhea.
3. Ingestion of Parasites
They are made from dehydrated hookworms and tapeworms that have been rendered fragile and without eggs. They are very effective in killing roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and lungworms in dogs. Unlike tablets, ingestion can be directly given to the dog without a liquid component. Ingestions must be administered carefully considering that they may kill the worms within 24 hours. The possibility of ingesting the wrong kind of worm is also present. For example, ingestion of hookworms can kill not only hookworms but also intestinal parasites like tapeworms or roundworms that cause intestinal blockages.
4. Anthelmintics
They are used to treat the entire spectrum of nematodes, including roundworms, hookworm, whipworm, and lungworm. The word “anthelmintic” comes from “anthelmintic” meaning anthelmintic and “helminths”. It is the first use of pharmaceuticals to treat intestinal nematodes. Anthelminthic are a group of parasitic worms that affect various animals. They include roundworms, hookworm, and other species. There is no vaccine for these nematodes, which is why they are commonly treated with anthelmintics.
Conclusion
Dogs are dewormed using different methods. Injections, tables, and ingestion are the main methods used to deworm a dog. The choice of which method to use is dependent on the type of worm infestation and the age of the dog.
