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.

Oscar came into my life as a second pet, a companion for Sputnik my Himalayan/Manx. He brought great joy into the house and kept Sputnik on his toes. He was the lover, the cuddler, the greeter. I will miss him dearly and I know that Sputnik misses him desparetly. His wide blue eyes and his funny little meow when he would greet me at the door will always be missed.
