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 found our Muffy at the SPCA 14 years ago. She captured our heart and never let go. She always had a stuffed toy in her mouth and constantly wagged her tail. She especially loved Barney, her purple dinosaur. After becoming ill in April, 2005, she fought to stay with us for the next 9 months. Although her mind was still alert, her little body just wore out.
Our darling Muffy, you were the light of our life, and we miss you so. Although we try to find comfort in knowing you are now healthy, happy, and running free, there is an empty place in our home and hearts that will never be filled. May you rest in peace until we meet again. With all our love - Mommy and Daddy
