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.

Shadow was my first pet, and I have been looking for almost 10 years for some way to pay tribute to him. He was crazy as a kitten, dragging his sisters around the house by their heads, but calmed down as he got older. He slept by my head every night, and I was his person. He died too soon, from a UTI. The medication didn't help, and my parents couldn't afford the surgery, so they put him down [as he was in a lot of pain all the time]. I still miss him, and wish that I could scratch his ears just once more.
