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.

Drake (or Drakey as I called him) was the most loving lizard you could ever hope for. Most people don't think of lizards as cuddly, but if you could have seen him when he cuddled into my neck to go to sleep when I held him in the evenings.
He would tilt his head when you talked to him, as if he knew what you were saying. He had a zest for life... and for hunting any bug that moved!
I will miss you Drakey!
Drake died suddenly of what the vet suspected was some kind of aneurysm.
