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.

My Dear Garter, (aka Gartie, Gaaaarrtar, Garby)
I wish I could have taken better care of you. I wish you didn't have to leave me.
It was just yesterday you were swimming around ur tank. I loved how you would swim so proudly up and down your tank when you were happy. I loved how you would eat from my finger and even jump for the pellet. I loved how you would swim on the side I was in. I loved how you would puff up your gills when i put the sunflower mirror to your face. I loved your "growl" I love how you would "listen" to me..
You were a strong fish to deal with all my incompetance. I didn't know what to do when you were sick. Maybe I did too much..or not enough..or did the wrong thing. But i did it out of love. I wanted the best for you. Maybe paul is right... you were one lucky fish to have someone care about you as much as i did and still do.
i know you are better were you are now. always remember how much i love and care for you.
