Sellyham Terrier external parasites

Common external parasites

Fleas, ticks, scabies, hair follicles, and ear mites.

Symptoms

Dogs suffering from external parasites will experience severe itching of the skin, and the dog will frequently scratch certain parts of the body or rub against the ground. It can be directly observed that there are red spots or scabs on the dog's skin surface after being scratched, and severe hair loss.

Solution

The most common external anthelmintic on the market today is Dapai, whose main ingredient is selamectin. The method of use is to drop Dapetai on the skin of the dog's neck. Because selamectin is absorbed through the sebaceous glands, you cannot take a bath three days before and three days after taking the drug, otherwise it will affect the absorption of the drug.

Precautions for deworming the Sealyham Terrier

1. Do not deworm the dog at the same time as vaccination.
2. Anthelmintic drugs must be purchased through regular channels. If you are looking for cheap products and buy some products with no products, this will pose a great hidden danger to your dog’s health.
3. When feeding deworming drugs to dogs, you must strictly follow the prescribed dosage, otherwise it may cause harm to the dog's body.
4. Do not deworm your dog if he or she is feeling uncomfortable. Because after deworming, most dogs will have side effects, such as fatigue, vomiting, etc. At this time, if the dog is dewormed in an unhealthy state, it will be counterproductive.
