Every day is filled with sweet moments with my furry companions

Symptoms of Dog Roundworm Disease:

The infected dog becomes thin, with pale mucous membranes, loss of appetite, vomiting, and sometimes abnormal cravings. Initially, there may be diarrhea followed by constipation. The fur becomes rough and dull, and sometimes neurological symptoms (epileptic spasms) may occur. Infected puppies have delayed growth and a swollen abdomen. A large number of parasites can cause intestinal obstruction, and sometimes they are naturally excreted in the stool.

Preventive Measures for Dog Roundworms:

1. Regular deworming. Puppies should be dewormed for the first time at 20 days old, and then once a month from 1 to 8 months old. Adult dogs should be dewormed twice a year. Regular deworming should also be done based on fecal examination results. Deworming should be done for lactating mother dogs along with puppies for better effectiveness.

2. Maintain cleanliness of the environment, utensils, and food, and promptly remove feces from the kennel.

Treatment methods for dogs infected with roundworms:

1. Dogs with roundworm disease must be immediately given deworming medication.

2. Medication treatment can be done by orally administering levamisole. Alternatively, 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of mebendazole can be given twice a day for two consecutive days. Fenbendazole can also be administered orally at a dose of 5-10 milligrams per kilogram. Deworming lotion can also be used, with a dosage of 100 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.
