What to do if your dog has ticks

When ticks have been found on your dog, you can take timely measures such as using insecticides or applying alcohol to the tick before removing it with tweezers. Do not attempt to remove the tick directly with your bare hands, as this could cause the tick's mouthparts to remain in your dog's skin, leading to inflammation. Severe tick infections can not only cause severe skin damage but also lead to conditions such as anemia, paralysis, and other complications. It is necessary to regularly apply insecticides to your dog for prevention and reduce the frequency of taking your dog to places with tall grass and forests.

When dealing with ticks at home, you can spray alcohol on the tick's head and the surrounding skin where the dog was bitten. Wait for the tick to become numb before gently removing it with tweezers. Pull the tick upward with a steady and uniform pressure, do not twist the tick's body, and avoid leaving the tick's mouthparts in the dog's skin. If there are too many ticks on your dog or you are unsure how to remove them, take your dog to a veterinarian clinic promptly to avoid delaying treatment.

Additionally, when discovering ticks on your dog, you can use insecticides containing non-泼罗尼、甲氧普希等成分 for tick control. Tick infections can potentially spread blood diseases, so it is essential to regularly perform blood tests on your dog. Once diagnosed, timely treatment measures should be taken. If your dog has a fever after being infected with ticks, seek medical attention promptly.

Lastly, after removing ticks from your dog, thoroughly clean the bite wounds and your hands with alcohol or iodine. Regularly disinfect your dog's living environment and personal items. It is also necessary to apply insecticides regularly to prevent tick infections and reduce the chances of your dog being exposed to ticks by taking them to places with tall grass and forests.
