Pincers in hair of a dog can cause a dangerous disease – a piroplasmosis. Its complexity is caused by the fact that treatment begins to be carried out already at the last stages. The cause is there is a lack of information of owners on danger which is born by pincers.
If the dog underwent a sting of pincers, it is important to render her the competent help in due time. Parasites are the worst enemies of animals, they are almost imperceptible for them. For a pet the only rescue is its owner who has to have at least elementary knowledge of the matter.
If nevertheless the tick was found in a dog what to do?It is very difficult to find a tick in an animal, he absolutely tiny, hides in dense wool on a nape, a neck, the head and paws. Its danger is that its long stay on a body leads to infection of a dog, her torments, diseases and even death. It is important to examine, comb out an animal his wool and to watch his hygiene. If the dog was bitten by a tick, symptoms of his presence are found in 5 – 6 days depending on the general state of health of an animal: - body temperature of the pet becomes critically high and 40-42 degrees can reach a point; - on the place of a sting the cone in which there is a tick is inflated; - the animal becomes inactive, the lack of appetite is observed. As soon as there were first signs of the desease, it is necessary to carry it to the doctor, the help only qualified will save an animal. Treatment takes place in two directions: elimination of parasites and clarification of an organism after intoxication. The first direction is characterized by use of medications, including organic dyes (veriben, berenit and azidin). Toxic medicines, easily destroy ticks, but at the same time can do much harm to an animal. Therefore the subsequent stage is removal of intoxication. For this purpose to a dog a large amount of vitamins, the salt cleaning solutions and so on is entered. For complete recovery the month and more can be required.
Prophylactics against the attack of pincers
It is necessary not only to battle against parasites, from them it is necessary to defend skillfully. Tactics is not so difficult as it can seem: In veterinary science the set of means of "scaring away" of pincers is developed. It can be both collars, and solutions. One droplet on hair of a dog suffices in order that the animal was in safety for 2 – 3 days. Then the procedure needs to be repeated again. Regular surveys after walk and also observation of behavior of an animal save it in 80% cases. As soon as the first symptoms were found, it is necessary to take urgent measures for extermination of a parasite. It is impossible to allow infection of a dog with a piroplasmosis, statistically mortality overtakes 98% of the struck animals. Care of the pet is not only daily games and walks with him, but also attention to his health and mood.
