Dog Parasites & Canine Parasite

In the case of "internal dog parasites", the list of endoparasites that can be found in dogs is so vast that it would be impossible for me to describe every single one of them here, with their consequences in the development and life of the dog. The aggression of the parasites already begins in the wombs of the mothers who have the "Toxocara canis" larva when they're pregnant. After 42 days of pregnancy, some larvae penetrate the placenta to develop in the fetus (it goes to show how important it is to "deworm" the future mother). Others can be present in the mammary glands and pass to the suckling via the colostrum (Milky fluid secreted for the first day or two after birth). In the infected puppy, the parasites pass through the liver and lungs to the intestine. The Infestation with "Toxascaris leonina", big nematodes, is limited to the small intestine. The symptoms that both this parasite and the one mentioned above present are, in puppies up to 12 days old, noisy breathing along with nasal flow especially when nursing; and also delayed development. When there two weeks old, there is vomiting, diarrhea, and between six and 12 weeks, there is chronic diarrhea with vomiting, swollen abdomen, pale mucous membranes, and the puppy is fussy and with his legs stretched open. There can also be intestinal perforation. But parasite infestation is not only limited to these two cases, in fact the great variety of Ascaris is so big that I will only mention some of the ways they damage the puppy, young dog and adult. They can acquire these parasites from the food they eat; by obstruction of the conduct of the organs or by compression; from talks in production and excretion of the parasites which are also toxic. Depositing eggs in the tissues, migrating through the liver, lungs, heart and even the brain, these parasites make it easy for the bacteria to enter and clause inflammatory or neoplastic reactions, as well as pneumonia, gastritis, liver adenomas, etc. It goes without saying how important it is to deworm your puppy from a very young age, following a deworming plan under absolute control of your vet. This also goes for young dogs and adults.
