Parásitos
Intestinal worms that hook onto the wall of the intestine and feed on blood. In puppies they can cause severe anaemia. It is a zoonosis: the larvae can penetrate human skin.
Ancylostoma worms. The larvae are transmitted through faeces, the mother's milk or by penetrating the skin. Common in warm, humid environments.
A faecal test to detect the parasite's eggs.
An internal wormer following the vet's regimen. Puppies with severe anaemia may need additional supportive care. Frequent worming in puppies.
Regular internal worming, good hygiene, picking up faeces, avoiding contaminated ground.
See your vet if there is dark diarrhoea with pale gums, especially in puppies — the anaemia can be severe.
