Last Parasite Post for the Month!

Let's talk about Ear Mites! These nasty little creepy crawlies are highly contagious, microscopic parasites. They infest the ears of cats/dogs and feed on the ear wax and skin oils of your pet. 👂🏻

With these mites comes intense scratching, head shaking, inflamed ears(red, bleeding), and dark-brown discharge that can look like coffee grounds ☕

If you suspect ear mites, bring your pet to your veterinarian so they can do a thorough examination and diagnoses. Sometimes there is more than just ear mites in those ears and could be an infection as well! The ears will be cleaned and medication will be given to kill the mites! If the infestation is very bad, sometimes it requires multiple treatments to kill all of the mites. 👩🏻‍⚕️

Ear mites are very easily spread to our pets through contaminated bedding and physical contact. They are very common in households that have outdoor animals, especially cats, and animal shelters. Thankfully humans cannot infested with them! 🙏🏻😮‍💨

If you have one pet that has ear mites, you should preemptively treat all of your pets for mites! As well as cleaning all bedding and toys to kill mites in the environment. 🛏️🧽

Give us a call if you have any questions or are wanting to book an exam for your pet ☎️

Parasite Post #3 coming right up like a bowl of spaghetti...

Speaking of spaghetti, let's talk about intestinal worms! 🍝

The most common worms in our pets are roundworm, tapeworm, hookworm, and whipworm!

How can they get intestinal worms? 🪱
They can get it quite a few different ways; through ingesting eggs/larvae in the grass, eating animals infected with worms, and mother-to-offspring(puppies/kittens can get worms before birth or through lactation).

Common symptoms of worm infestation:
Diarrhea, vomiting, pot-bellied appearance, weight loss, dull coat, lethargy, and scooting 💩

Did you also know that some intestinal worms are zoonotic? Meaning that your pet can give you and your family members worms? 🤮

How can you prevent intestinal worms in your pets?
Annual veterinary care, parasite preventatives (the frequency would depend on your pet's lifestyle habits), f***l exams, and hygiene for you pet(disposing of their f***s right away). 🪏

If you have any questions about your pet and types of parasite prevention, give Highlands a call! 📞

It's Parasite Post Time! 🦟
Today we talk about Fleas and Lice! 🤮

Lice are wingless, small parasites that live on your pet's fur. They are species-specific so they cannot be given to humans. Some symptoms you may see are intense scratching, a rough coat, eggs (small yellow dots glued to fur), and skin wounds. Lice cannot jump/fly so they are spread through contact!

Fleas are small, wingless bugs that feed on the blood of animals. They can also cause allergies, anemia and transmit diseases. Fleas are very good jumpers, and will jump onto their hosts and live, feed, and mate on their hosts. Symptoms you can see in your pet when it has fleas are; inflamed/bumpy skin, missing patches of hair, small scabs, relentless scratching, and small fast moving bugs.

One of the worst things to deal with if your pet has an infestation of these parasites is environmental control. You will need to wash ALL bedding, collars, blankets and more. You also can use adulticide sprays to help kill the insects in your house.

If you are concerned your pet may have these parasites, or are just wanting them to be on prevention to avoid this, give us a call and we can discuss how to treat your pets !
