What to do if there are ticks on the dog’s body? Handle it from these aspects
Cats and dogs often have some parasites or diseases caused by parasites, especially ticks which are a very scary parasite on dogs. If you find these parasites on your dog, you should take active measures to solve the problem.
This parasite often lives on the dog's body. Some dog owners may often see their dogs scratching and biting themselves wildly, even biting to the point of bleeding, which could be caused by ticks acting up. The method of treating these parasites must be scientific because these parasites can also infect humans. First, when removing ticks from the dog, you must wear gloves or prepare tweezers; in short, do not use your hands directly to grab them. Because these bugs also have infective properties. Of course, prepare antiseptics such as isopropanol.
Second, when operating, try to use tweezers and tools close to the dog's skin, then aim precisely to grab the tick. At this time, many owners may pinch the dog's skin accidentally. In this case, the dog will struggle to break away and prevent you from proceeding. So when removing ticks, you must be cautious, never grab the dog’s skin, and your action must be quick, accurate, and decisive.
After removing the tick, put it into a container filled with isopropanol to kill the tick directly. This prevents the dog from getting infected with such infectious diseases. During the process, make sure to disinfect the area near where the tick was gripped thoroughly. Furthermore, clean the dog’s whole body. Of course, this is not just general cleaning — it is more important to disinfect the whole body with isopropanol to ensure the parasite is completely eliminated. Also, note that ticks easily suck blood and carry many infectious viruses. At this point, you must take your dog to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up because long-term tick bites surely cause many wounds on the dog. This is to avoid infectious diseases spreading inside the dog’s body.
