After a pleasant outdoor activity with your furry friend, please check whether your furry friend has ticks, because there is a possibility that ticks may enter the fur through the plants and bite and suck blood when your dog or cat is playing and rolling around in the grass and other places outdoors.
Ticks are flat or teardrop-shaped in appearance and swell when attached to the skin. When checking, you need to focus on the ears, neck and abdomen where ticks often appear.
Ticks reproduce very quickly and can become alarmingly numerous in a short period of time, which can pose a certain threat to pets, causing itching, redness, swelling and pain on the pet's skin, and even sepsis.
Once a pet has a tick, please use a tick clamp to firmly fix the tick's body and then slowly pull it out to prevent the tick's head from remaining in the skin. Do not squeeze the tick with your hands, which will leave the tick's head in the skin and increase the risk of infection. Use alcohol to disinfect the wound after pulling it out. If you cannot judge and operate, please take your pet to the hospital in time for treatment.
In daily life, you can give your pet regular deworming and physical examinations or wear a tick protection ring and spray tick repellent, and pay attention to abnormal conditions of your pet to ensure the health of your pet.
