What should I do if my Spinone dog has fleas? Fleas are certainly familiar to people who keep pets. They live in dog hair. Fleas are still very harmful to dogs. So how can they be removed? Where are the fleas?
This experience is introduced in three aspects: diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Clinical symptoms:
The main clinical symptom of this disease is itching. The symptoms of sick dogs are scratching, rubbing and biting the coat, causing hair loss, hair breakage and abrasions. In severe cases, fluid may leak out from the skin abrasions, and even suppurative wounds may form. Sometimes it can cause allergic reactions and form eczema. If a dog is found to have the above symptoms, it is necessary to carefully examine the hair on the neck and the base of the tail. During the inspection, comb the hair against the direction of hair growth, and observe the hair roots and skin. If fleas or flea droppings are found, the diagnosis can be confirmed. You can also use a piece of moist white paper, place it under the dog, and then comb the hair with a comb. The flea excrement will continue to fall onto the white paper, and the diagnosis can be confirmed.
Precautionary measures:
Pay attention to your dog’s physical hygiene, bathe it frequently, groom it frequently, and get plenty of sun exposure. These are effective ways to prevent fleas.
In addition, using a flea collar is also a good idea. This kind of collar contains flea-killing ingredients. There are many small holes on the collar. The medicine leaks out through the small holes and spreads over most of the dog's body. It can expel or kill fleas when they encounter them. But be aware that long-term use in some pet dogs can cause skin allergies.
