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.

Scout came from an animal shelter in Vancouver, B,C, He was 9 months old when I got him. He is quite a shy dog but very obedient. He appears to understand English. His list of commands is quite lengthy. His most endearing quality is the way he comes over and lays his head down on your lap. His biggest fear is wind. He doesn't like strangers, or children which is unusual for this kind of dog.
Unfortunately I have recently found out he has bone cancer. There is a tumor pushing on the back of his nose causing him to have nose bleeds. The lump is starting to appear on the top of his head by his eye. I have had Scout for 6 years and will miss him dearly. I have recently moved onto an orchard, which is slightly remote. He makes me feel safe. I am waiting for signs like him being unable to sleep because of his nose, then I have to put him to sleep.
I have a small puppy now. She is a Shepherd/Lassie cross. I am hoping she will pick up on his great behaivior . Her name is Gypsy (see Gypsy). Scout doesn't have much patience for her, but she is very cute.
