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.

Ghosty was a wonderful cat and even though he had a fairly long life I feel it was too early. He had his tail amputated at age 8 and lived through it. He was slightly overweight but not obese, I could always count on him to jump up onto my bed and snuggle with me. Rest in Peace Ghosty.
