How to protect your dog from a deadly disease transmitted by parasites

TSN writes about it.

In the warm season, not only ticks, but also mosquitoes, which carry a deadly disease - dirofilariasis, are of great danger.

Infection occurs transmissively due to the bites of mosquitoes infected with invasive dirofilaria larvae.

Dogs, cats, and occasionally even people get sick.

Symptoms:

• Knot formation on the skin
• Fast fatiguability
• Dyspnea
• Cough
• Weight loss
• Fainting
• Ascites, hydrothorax, edema
• Acute respiratory failure

The best treatment is prevention. Treat your pet in time with drugs that simultaneously act against ectoparasites and dirofilaria. They can be purchased at veterinary pharmacies.
