FLEAS Fleas like worms are an every day problem, at some time or another you
can expect to encounter the problem. Fleas are a consequence of the domestic environment that we have created
for our own comfort, i.e. central heating, double glazing, & best of all the
fitted carpet all make for ideal living conditions all year round. Adult fleas feed on your dogs blood however they spend the main
part of there life in your carpet or in your dogs bedding, or anywhere that is
comfortable.
The
life cycle of the flea The
life cycle of the flea can last up to six weeks 1:
DOG PICKS UP A FLEA FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL. 2:
THE FLEA FEEDS & LAYS HUNDREDS OF EGGS THESE LAND ON YOUR CARPET OR IN
THE DOGS BEDDING WITHIN SIXTEEN DAYS THEY HATCH INTO LARVAE. 3:
THE LARVAE WILL THEN FIND A NICE DARK PLACE, IT WILL LIVE ON ADULT FLEA
FAECES, DUST, & OTHER MORSELS SUCH AS HUMANS SHED SKIN DANDRUFF ETC.
FOR UP UNTIL 10 DAYS, 4:
THE LARVA WILL SPIN A COCOON FORMING A PUPA, THIS PUPAE STAGE IS
EXTREMELY HARDY & CAN SURVIVE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IF THE CONDITIONS
ARE FAVORABLE. 5: UP TO 17 DAYS LATER THE
ADULT FLEA WILL EMERGE LOOKING FOR A MEAL. To tell if your dog has fleas brush him over spread newspaper look for
black specs on the paper after Look carefully at your dogs skin you may see black specks or you may see
the bite marks themselves. An effective way of preventing fleas is to give garlic daily ================= WORMS Worms can & do cause ill health in animals especially young puppies Adult dogs do not suffer illness as puppies do but they contribute more
to the spreading of them TAPEWORMS Tapeworms are seen to have a flat segmented body & are recognized by
single segments or chains that resemble segments of rice. They appear in the faeces. & cause weight loss & general
debility. Part of the tape worm life cycle occurs in a host , that is the flea
therefore the presence of a tapeworm is an indication that there are fleas,
therefore treatment against both fleas & tapeworm are given together. ROUNDWORMS There are two types tat we are concerned with. TOXOCARA
CANIS. & TOXASCARIS LEONINA Roundworm (TOXOCARA) can also
cause disease in children thorough ingestion of eggs. This provides an
indisputable reason for effective control of roundworms. LIFE CYCLE OF THE ROUNDWORM. Adult roundworms live in the intestine & produce hundreds of eggs
these are passed in the dogs faeces. The eggs are resilient to heat or cold & may survive up to 7 years
in soil etc. SYMPTOMS OF ROUNDWORM. Left untreated your puppy can suffer an obvious digestive upset, poor
growth, thin or out of condition coat, appear listless. pot bellied or tucked
appearance. The roundworm will migrate from the gut to the lungs, this can cause
lung damage, coughing, & even pneumonia. SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS. Toilet train your puppy to use a place where you can easily clean up
& dispose of faeces into the sewer. Do not allow young children to handle puppies without washing there
hands afterwards. Do not allow or encourage your puppy to lick peoples faces or hands. CONTROLLING WORMS. Puppies should be wormed every month adults should be wormed every six
months. Remember that the adult dog may not be showing any signs of worms but is capable of passing large amounts of lava into the environment THE
