Parasite Detecting and Treatment At Elm Grove Animal Hospital

As pet owners, we all want our furry friends to stay healthy and happy. But did you know that parasites can cause a lot of trouble for our beloved pets? Parasites are a common problem that can affect both dogs and cats. They can cause various health issues and even lead to serious illnesses. That’s why detecting and treating parasites as soon as possible is crucial. At Elm Grove Animal Hospital, we are here to help you keep your pets healthy and free of parasites.

Types of Parasites

There are several types of parasites that can affect your pets. The most common ones include fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Fleas and ticks are external parasites that feed on your pet’s blood and can cause itching, irritation, and even transmit diseases. Heartworms, on the other hand, are internal parasites that live in the heart and lungs of infected pets, causing breathing difficulties, fatigue, and even heart failure. Roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms are also internal parasites that can cause various health problems, including diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss.

Symptoms of Parasites

Detecting parasites early is crucial for your pet’s health. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s essential to bring your pet to Elm Grove Animal Hospital as soon as possible:

  • Constant scratching or licking
  • Hair loss
  • Skin irritation or redness
  • Bumps or lumps on the skin
  • Diarrhea or vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Lethargy or weakness
  • Parasite Prevention and Treatment

Preventing parasites is much easier than treating them. At Elm Grove Animal Hospital, we offer various preventive measures, such as flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and deworming medication.
