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.

Little Georgie was a loving little tan gerbil. He especially liked strawberry drops and yogurt treats. He liked to sleep in his top level and would run down his tube when we came in to feed him. He didn't like being held, but did like being petted.
Little Georgie, we will all miss you! Benay, Gary, Brittany, Rusty, Tara, and your hamster friend and roommate Xiaoling.
