Fleas
Fleas are horrid little creatures with a life
span of 6 weeks to a year or more under certain
conditions. Fleas and tapeworms enjoy a complimentary
existence ~ so if you find either, be very watchful for the
other. Many dogs suffer an allergic reaction (to the
saliva of the flea) called flea bite dermatitis. Fleas
will not leave their host willingly, though you will make an
adequate substitute host. If your dog does get fleas you
will shortly know about it; they rapidly multiply and will
infest all the areas of your home and yard.
Treat your dog with a flea killing shampoo, and repeat once
again in ten days. Treat your home with a flea spray and
frequent vacuuming, disposing of the vacuum bag immediately each
time. Treat your yard with insecticide; your vet can
advise you of the appropriate products to use.
Once flea free keep your dog that way by using Advantage or
Frontline (which is a small vial of oil applied between the
shoulder blades once monthly). The oil distributes itself
through the haircoat with the movement of the dog and after a
short time will not be washed off with water. After about
24 hours the coat will not be at all greasy to touch even at the
point of application, and Advantage will kill all biting insects
for up to about 30 days. Keeping Fido free of the fleas
will go a long way to seeing that your home, your property, and
your person does not become a hangout for fleas.
Ticks
Ticks jump on your pet from grassy
or wooded areas to gorge themselves on a bloodmeal and then drop
off until they are hungry again. Ticks carry a number of
terrible diseases, some of them transmittable to humans (such as
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever). Remove a tick with a
tweezer by grasping it firmly as close to it's head as you can
get and pulling with a firm, even pressure directly out.
There are also specific tick removal devices readily available
on the market at any pet supply store. Be sure to wear gloves
when dealing with ticks, and kill it dead once it's out. If the
head should break off, do not panic. In most cases it will
fester out without further incident; you may wish to apply
some hydrogen peroxide to the site. Frontline and ProTICall are
effective against ticks as well.
Lice
Lice are very difficult to see; they
are very small and white, and don't move around much. It
will be easier to see their "nits" or eggs which
appear as white to yellowy bumps up the length of hair
shafts. Thankfully, these things also respond well to most
flea preparations.
