Should your dog show signs of gradual weight loss quick tiring weakness coughing or labored breathing consult your veterinarian immediately Preventative medicine given by your veterinarian is the only answer There is a tablet that can be dispensed daily or monthly to prevent heartworm It requires a blood test to determine if the worm is present If no worm is found then the animal can begin the preventive medication Most dogs can be successfully treated for heartworm disease if it is detected early enough However the methods of treatment are often as serious as the disease itself Dogs with adult heartworms must be treated with a series of injections containing an arsenic compound to kill the worms Treating dogs with a toxic substance such as arsenic is a risky procedure requiring hospitalization and close monitoring by a veterinarian Contact your vet for more information Ticks seem to be very popular this year due to all the wet weather To prevent a tick bite be aware of the area you are visiting Ticks seem to like heavily wooded areas and tall grass terWhen entering ritories you should wear long sleeve shirts and long pants You can have your animals dipped in tick repellent or use a commercial product Please talk to your veterinarian before using any type of product to ensure its safety There are several varieties of ticks that live on the dog The i brown dog tick is the most common All are capable of transmitting some disease Shelly Lanser Manager of Communicable Diseases for the Utah State Health Department reports that in 1992 there were 7 cases of Lyme disease 1 case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 14 cases of Colorado Tick Fever and 2 cases of Tularemia or Rabbit Fever all of which are transmitted by ticks Check yourself and your pets frequently for ticks Common areas are on the ears neck head and between the toes but look everywhere on the animal's body Remove the tick as soon as possible According to "Dog Owners Veteri nary Handbook" if your dog has just a FEW ticks the easiest thing to do is to remove them yourself First kill the tick by applying alcohol gin ether or fingernail polish directly to the tick by means of a applicator After a few moments grasp the dead tick as close to the skin as possible and apply steady traction until it releases its hold If your dog has many ticks contact your veterinarian If you have any questions or concerns regarding animal health or welfare contact the Salt Lake County Animal Services Humane 7 Education Department cotton-tippe- 264-224- ' ' d tick-infeste- d d 414 t0 '4 1 '1 ''" i - r rg - - - i'ICI' Zlirlibe I t 1hit '' z lkAt it' o l'f IL " i t- 'p- '' f tt z l' ' il 40" ' 1 f r I t 0- J i - ' I it j If k t At "It 8 4 1 - v 4 0 - - -- - L ' Tillie Tillie is a charming and friendly little terrier mix who sits up and begs for attention She is just one of hundreds of dogs who pass through area shelters each week because they aren1 wearing ID tags Tillie will make a wonderful companion for someone willing to give her a safe and loving rxw home To adopt Tillie visit Salt Lake County Animal Services 511 W 3900 South or call 264-226- 7 ii ( |
