Canines Health - How To Safely Control Fleas And Ticks
Ticks and fleas in dogs are as natural as having to see frogs and crickets by the pond; or to catch bees and butterflies in our rose patch. But because parasites can attack our furry little animals, it is important to know some basic facts about these two vermins.
Dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis) are tiny (1.5 to 3.3 mm long) six legged wingless insect. They are very jerky, they can move either horizontally or vertically. Its body is hard and polished with tiny hairs directed backwards making it very easy to move around the fur strands of its host. They have an armor-like shell that provides protection to finger pricks and pressure. It feeds on mammals’ blood by sucking its host.
Fleas - Life Cycle and Home
Per day, an adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs. In just a short span of time, let's say three months, a pair of these two little critters can produce up to 20,000 fleas! They lay the eggs on their host and consequently these eggs hatch after two days or two weeks after. The larvae in order to live, feeds on tiny food debris. After some time, it can turn into miniature pupae which, later on, will hatch into a new batch causing harm to the dog but also to its owner! It is important to keep in mind the life cycle of the flea before considering what kind of preventive measure you are going to undertake. This could give you a better chance of breaking the cycle of reproduction.
To find out if your pet is infected with fleas, you can check for these common signs:
- Look for flea dirt. You can experiment if these indeed are fleas’ excreta (digested blood) by wiping these bits with damp paper towel. A noticeable dash of blood red on your paper towel will certify infestation.
- Use of flea comb.
- Bald patches due to skin irritation or excessive scratching, redness, and tiny red spots on your dog’s skin
As soon as you confirmed that your dog is infested with fleas, consult your respective veterinarian on the topic of precautionary care and management for fleas.
Tick (Nuttalliella namaqua) is an eight-legged arachnid, a cousin of spider that is well-known for dissemination diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, tularemia, encephalitis, and tick paralysis. The most conventional among its species that feed on dogs are wood tick, brown dog tick, and the deer tick; they all proliferate in woods and shrubby areas.
Not like fleas, ticks are slow movers, hence they can be spotted easily. With the use of cotton buds dipped in disinfectant, one can perfectly remove ticks. They’re generally found between the dog’s armpits, inside ear flaps, between digits and paw pads, tail, inside thighs, etc.
Using the tweezers, grasp the tick purposefully, then, gently rock the bug back and forth until it lets go. Be sure to avoid contact with the ticks' body fluid by wearing clean gloves or surgical bags. To avoid local infection on the spot where the ticks were removed, a dash of disinfectant is recommended.
To control tick invasion, you must discourage suitable breeding environment by regular trimming of the grasses and shrubberies around your home. Over-the-counter medicated shampoos and other products in spray and powder form can also help. Nonetheless, drop by your professional vet for recommendation on proper dog grooming techniques and home measures to ensure that you and your pet are safe from ticks and fleas.
