Common illnesses in pets during monsoon
Indu Saini
|  Jul 08, 2022
"Monsoons have always been the season of health concerns amongst people. And just like us, even our pets are prone to contract several diseases and infections during the rainy season. And with the onset of rains, pet parents need to be more careful than ever to ensure the health and hygiene of their four-legged friend," says Dr Shantanu Kalambi, Chief Veterinarian, Supertails.(Pixabay)Diseases caused by ticks and fleas: Ticks and fleas are the most bothersome parasites that live in warm, humid weather conditions. They are responsible for causing a wide range of dangerous diseases in pets. Most commonly they cause tick fever and flea bite allergies or flea allergic dermatitis which requires proactive treatment with the help of spot-ons and sprays. In the worst cases, tick fever can lead to kidney failure as well. Hence, pet parents must closely look for such parasites and take suitable measures to protect their pets from them. Keeping your pet’s resting area clean and tidy is the first step in inhibiting the fostering of any insect-like ticks, fleas, bugs, and mosquitoes. Dry bedding must be ensured and should be replaced frequently. To avoid the menace of parasites, preventive measures must be taken. Anti-tick shampoos must be used along with anti-tick sprays and spot-on solutions that are effective in killing ticks and fleas.(Pixabay)
