Parasite Prevention


If you are a dog or cat owner, providing your pets with parasite preventative action is extremely important so they do not suffer from unnecessary discomfort. The best way to protect your pet is by making an appointment at Clinton Hill Animal Clinic in Brooklyn so our veterinarian can evaluate your pets’ condition and offer treatment as needed. Here is some information to read over so you learn the signs of a parasite problem, know steps you can take to protect your pets, and understand what happens when you bring your dogs or cats to our animal hospital for an appointment for veterinary care. 

.

The Signs of a Parasite Problem

A pet can suffer from internal or external parasites. If your dogs or cats have an internal parasite problem, they will likely show signs of difficulty eating or problems with elimination. You may notice worms in their stool or in vomit. Your pets may suffer from weight loss because of the parasites. An external parasite problem is a bit easier to identify. Your pets may have dirty ears, signifying the presence of ear mites. Fleas or ticks may be noticed upon your pets’ skin. These parasites often cause pets to scratch or bite at their bodies in an attempt to stop itching or pain.

How to Protect Your Pets Against Parasites

The best way to protect your pets from a parasite problem is to have our veterinarian conduct an evaluation of their condition and provide your pets with medication to keep parasites at bay. In addition to this, check your pets’ fur regularly for fleas or ticks and bring them to our animal clinic promptly if needed. Keep your pets’ ears cleaned and do not skimp on bathing procedures. If your pets are not eating or seem under the weather, it is best to have an evaluation of their condition conducted to determine if internal parasites are causing them distress.

What Happens During an Appointment with Our Veterinarian

When you bring your pets to our practice to seek treatment from our veterinarian, their condition is assessed in detail. Our vet will check your pets from head to tail for any medical difficulties and will prescribe medication to eliminate parasites as needed. If your pets are not suffering from a problem, preventative medication is given to keep them in the best of health.
