Drugs that fight parasites – Pet tip 256
The thought of parasites makes most pet owners shudder. Just in case we’ve forgotten what they are, a parasite is an organism that lives off another animal without benefit to that animal and without killing that animal. Parasites can be classified into external (ectoparasites) and internal (endoparasites). There are many different types of these critters, from roundworms to hookworms, tapeworms to fleas and ticks. Here is an overview of some of the drugs used to kill them, and a couple of pointers that you as a conscientious pet owner might want to be aware of.

We adopted Sammy from the SPCA when he was 2. He hadn't been treated well or housetrained and had some behaviour issues, but with a lot of TLC he learned to trust us and became a loyal and loving companion. Sammy became deaf and blind and developed very severe arthritis. He was put to sleep February 26, 2004. We love you Sammy and will always miss you.
