<\/a><\/p>\nOne of our principal activities in Springtime is to prepare for those long awaited summer months. As well as gardening and opening the pool and patio, we must also think about protecting our cats and dogs against seasonal parasites (intestinal worms, heartworm, fleas and ticks). The eggs of intestinal parasites present in the stools of infested animals can contaminate the soil for months. Not only are intestinal parasites harmful to the health of your pet, some are transmissable to humans, particularly young children. Did you know that one species of tapeworm (taenia) is transmitted to your pet by ingestion of small rodents and another by fleas? Tapeworms segments have the appearance of small grains of rice that congregate at the base of your pet\u2019s tail. However, it is important to know that most intestinal parasites can only be detected by use of\u00a0 a microscope. The best way to avoid intestinal parasites is prevention during the summer months. Your veterinarian can prescribe a deworming protocol that suits you and your pet. To further aid in reducing the risk of contamination, pick up after your pet regularly and cover your child\u2019s sandbox when not in use.<\/p>\n
Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitos. The best way to prevent this illness is to have your dog tested every spring for the disease and to administer preventive medication.
Ticks are becoming more and more common in Qu\u00e9bec, particularly in the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie area.<\/p>\n
Ticks are present from April to December and can be found in long grass and wooded areas. They attach themselves to your animal for days while they feed. During this time, they can transmit lyme disease to your pet. An effective prevention exists for dogs and cats and is available at your veterinarian.<\/p>\n
The team at H\u00f4pital V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire de L\u2019\u00cele-Perrot<\/strong> will prescribe the best prevention plan adapted to the needs of you and your pet.<\/p>\n<\/ol>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=”4.4.1″ title_text_color=”#7bb03e”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/a>Une de nos principales activit\u00e9s durant le printemps est de se pr\u00e9parer \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 tant attendu. En plus du jardinage et de l\u2019ouverture des piscines et patios, vous devez aussi prot\u00e9ger votre chien et votre chat contre les parasites saisonniers (vers intestinaux, vers du c\u0153ur, puces et tiques).<\/p>\nLes \u0153ufs de vers intestinaux pr\u00e9sents dans les selles d\u2019un animal infest\u00e9 peuvent contaminer le sol durant des mois. En plus d\u2019\u00eatre nuisibles pour la sant\u00e9 de votre animal, certains parasites intestinaux sont transmissibles aux humains, particuli\u00e8rement aux jeunes enfants. Saviez-vous qu\u2019une esp\u00e8ce de vers plats (taenia ou vers solitaire) se transmet \u00e0 votre animal par l\u2019ingestion de petits rongeurs et qu\u2019une autre s\u2019acquiert par les puces? Les vers plats se manifestent par la pr\u00e9sence sous la queue de segments ayant l\u2019apparence de grains de riz. Par contre, la plupart des parasites de l\u2019intestin ne sont d\u00e9tectables qu\u2019au microscope. La meilleure fa\u00e7on de pr\u00e9venir ces d\u00e9sagr\u00e9ments est de vermifuger votre animal de compagnie r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement durant tout l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 selon un programme prescrit par un v\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire. De plus, ramassez rapidement les selles de vos animaux et couvrez le carr\u00e9 de sable des enfants.\n\nLes vers du c\u0153ur sont transmis par les maringouins. La meilleure fa\u00e7on de pr\u00e9venir cette maladie est d\u2019effectuer un d\u00e9pistage sanguin puis d\u2019administrer une m\u00e9dication pr\u00e9ventive.\n\nLes tiques sont de plus en plus fr\u00e9quentes au Qu\u00e9bec, particuli\u00e8rement en Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie. Elles sont pr\u00e9sentes d\u2019avril \u00e0 d\u00e9cembre dans les longues herbes et les bois\u00e9s . Elles s\u2019attachent tr\u00e8s solidement \u00e0 votre animal pour plusieurs jours et peuvent lui transmettre la maladie de Lyme . Il existe des m\u00e9dicaments pr\u00e9ventifs efficaces contre les tiques pour les chiens et les chats.\n\nLes professionnels de L\u2019H\u00f4pital V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire de L\u2019\u00cele-Perrot<\/b> prescriront le meilleur plan de pr\u00e9vention des parasites adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 votre prot\u00e9g\u00e9.\n<\/ol>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.4.1\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.4.1\"][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" title_text_color=\"#7bb03e\"][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-parasites-2"],"yoast_head":"\nSeasonal parasites.
