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.

Rockie I love you so much sweetie. You were my best friend and have gone through so much in your 12 years - I miss you so much and wished in your last days they took better care of you. I do know you are not suffering and are happy in puppy heaven, I just wanted to make your last days special and peaceful - I think you got the treatment and care that you needed in Madison just a little too late - Dr. Kaaye was great wasn't she? I will, down the road change this memory page when some of my pain for you subsides a bit and all the great memories come flooding back.

Sampson and I are lost here without you and Billie was very sad and was here when Dr. Kaaye called. You really made him a softie and he misses you as much as I do. Grandma is very very sad - she still has your crackers and has been there for your "mom" a lot today. Remember all the times you were there for me? My little puppy dog - I love you so much and miss you, tell Grandpa and Brandie no late nights and take it easy on the grapes!
