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.

Zuba is in my heart always - he was so talkative and emotional - he told me when he was hungry or thirsty (he only drank out of the faucet), when he wanted treats, when he wanted to play fetch, go outside and chase lizards or when he wanted my love and attention... He would open cabinets, drawers and doors... he even chose certain flipflops to chew just like a dog might do.
He died unexpectedly just 5 days ago and everywhere I look in our house I see his cute little face and hear his sweet little voice... I miss him so much - he was my little love - he would jump into my lap and flop down into a tiny little baby ball and then beg me to rub his tummy - if I stopped, he would cry for more... my sweet little guy didn't deserve to die so young, my only peace is that we are one.
