Many owners of pets will encounter problems with parasites. Parasites may not only affect the health of pets, but may also spread some diseases. Therefore, deworming pets is also an important part of daily maintenance. So do you know how to use tick repellent for pets? Shit-shoveling officers, follow the editor to find out!
Pet repellent drugs are mainly external anthelmintic drugs. If there are too many ticks, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the hospital for a medicinal bath and inject ivermectin for deworming. There are many kinds of topical drops, which are usually used once a month. To prevent ticks, they need to be used all year round. After being infected with a tick, you cannot remove it yourself to avoid the tick's mouthparts or chelicerae remaining in the dog's skin, causing local infection and inflammation. Before using any deworming medicine, be sure to read the packaging carefully to make sure it is for pets. Drugs used to treat ticks include fipronil and methoprene. These drugs only need to be used once a month and can kill adult fleas, larvae and eggs, as well as ticks and feather lice.
Selamectin can kill adult fleas and eggs when used once a month. Additionally, it eliminates ticks, heartworm, ear mites, and scabies mites. However, it should be noted that selamectin is not labeled to have the function of removing ticks. It can only deal with certain types of ticks and is not very effective against Ixodes ticks that transmit Lyme disease. If there are a lot of ticks on your dog, you should ask your veterinarian to recommend more effective deworming methods, such as special deworming collars.
