Dog Fleas & Ticks
Dog Fleas & Ticks. Fleas. Dog fleas are different to those which
infest humans and cats. When a flea bites, it injects saliva to
stop the blood clotting whilst it sucks it up. The saliva
contains chemicals which often cause an allergic reaction in the
dog. The signs are :- Bites which look like small red pimples.
Black, gritty material in the coat, and areas of inflammation on
the animals back. Scratching. What is the treatment ?
Spring-clean the house and treat the dog's favorite places with
a suitable insecticidal spray. Flea tablets or collars are a
good extra precaution, and spray badly affected animals
frequently with insecticide during the summer months. (the flea
season) Ticks The common tick seen on dogs is the sheep tick.
this has a large abdomen that stretches as it fills with blood.
It hangs on to the dog's hair and sticks it's mouth parts
through the skin to suck blood.Ticks are usually found on the
underside of the dog, under the forelegs and on the head. What
is the treatment ? Try to remove every tick when you see it. It
is important to extract the head, otherwise an abscess may form.
If the head is left in, warm compresses help draw out the
infection, combined with antibacterial washes and creams.
Removing a tick. A good method is to get the tick's head to
relax or die by dabbing it with alcohol. Wait a couple of
minutes, then use fine-pointed tweezers to extract the tick.
Grasp it near the mouth parts, and give it a sharp jerk. This
should dislodge it. Alternatively, flea sprays can be used
locally on ticks. The tick will then die and can be removed the
following day. Regular use of a flea spray in tick areas often
keeps them away. When my own dogs have suffered with ticks or
fleas in the past, I've always managed to deal with them myself,
but if you've any concerns at all with your own dog, then
consult your vet as a precaution. Author John Moore ..please use
