ノミ・ダニ予防

クーリングガイ地区では、一年中ノミとマダニ予防が必要です。マダニは春と夏の間によく見られますが、時にはポッサムやバンディクート(マダニの自然な宿主)が多く生息する非常に茂った地域では、他の季節にも見られます。

ダニ

麻痺ダニ

麻痺ダニ(Ixodes holocyclus)は、オーストラリアで犬や猫に致命的な影響を与える厄介な寄生虫です。春と夏にはオーストラリアの東海岸でよく見られますが、麻痺ダニは一年中見つかることがあります。ポッサムやバンディクートは麻痺ダニの自然宿主であり、ダニは彼らに寄生しても病気にさせることなく快適に生活しています。ダニは、ポッサムやバンディクートなどの在来動物がいる草地を通るときにペットに付着します。

麻痺ダニによる病気とは?

麻痺ダニは、卵、幼虫、若虫、成虫(最も危険な段階)からなる一年間のライフサイクルを持っています。成虫の麻痺ダニは洋ナシから楕円形の体を持ち、通常は灰色です。彼らは犬や猫の皮膚に付着して血液を吸います。吸血中に、ダニは口部から毒素(毒)を分泌し、動物の神経系に影響を与えます。ダニが最初に付着したときは小さいですが、血液を吸うにつれて約1週間で大きくなります。吸血により、数ミリメートルから1センチメートルの幅に成長します。

麻痺ダニ中毒の症状とは?

  • 後ろ足のふらつき
  • 声の変化
  • 呼吸の変化
  • 咳、えずき、よだれ、嘔吐
  • 目立たない症状としては、倦怠感や食欲不振

麻痺ダニ中毒の症状が現れると、犬や猫は非常に迅速に病状が悪化する可能性があります。ペットにこれらの症状が見られる場合は、直ちに獣医に診てもらうことが重要です。治療が早ければ早いほど、生存の可能性が高まります。放置すると死に至ります。獣医はダニ抗血清を投与し、毒素によるさらなる中毒を防ぎます。数日間の入院やその他の治療が必要な場合もあります。

幼虫ダニとは?

麻痺ダニの卵は草や藪の中に産みつけられます。孵化すると、幼虫は動物が通りかかる隙を待ち飛び乗ります。ペットがダニの巣に入ってしまうと、何百もの小さな幼虫ダニ(「草ダニ」と呼ばれます)が一斉に飛び乗り、ペットに強いかゆみと刺激を与えることがあります。これらのピンヘッドサイズの幼虫ダニは通常麻痺を引き起こしませんが、依然として治療が必要ですので、何か異常を感じた場合は連絡ください。

ペットのダニ予防とは

マダニ麻痺を防ぐことは、発症後の治療よりもはるかに安全で安価な代替手段です。首の後ろの皮膚に簡単に投与するものと経口剤の二手の予防法が一般的です。しかし、その他にも麻痺ダニのシーズン中は、ペットの皮膚と毛皮を毎日丁寧に調べることが最も重要なマダニ予防です。

成虫のマダニは直径が少なくとも3mmあります。頭や首、耳、顔などの一般的な場所から始め、全身を丁寧に調べてあげてください。約70%のマダニが頭、首、耳、顔にいることがあります(唇を忘れないでください)。その後、ペットの毛皮を徐々にすべての指で探り、隆起や不規則なものを探します。また、足の裏の間もチェックすることを忘れないでください。

マダニを見つけた場合は、できるだけ早く取り除いてください。マダニの体をしっかりと握り、強くひねって取り除きます。この時に「Tick Twister(マダニ取り)」を持っているとマダニを取り除くときに便利です。

ノミ

ノミはどこから来てるの?

すべては数匹の成虫のノミが、公園、ブッシュウォーク、犬舎/キャットハウス、または自分の庭などでペットに飛び移ることから始まります。その後、彼らは膨大な速度で繁殖することがで木、気づかぬうちに制御が難しいほどの大量発生になります!オーストラリアの犬や猫にとって、ノミは本当の害虫であり、彼らに常にかゆみや毛の抜け落ち、刺激を引き起こします。犬のノミの問題を解決することは、飼い主にとっても本当の害虫になります!

ノミのライフサイクルとは?

  • 成虫のノミは体長の150倍の跳躍ができ、簡単に犬から犬や猫に飛び移ります。
  • 毛皮に着いた後、彼らは犬や猫の血を吸い、メスは卵を産み始めます。
  • 卵 – メスのノミは生涯で2000個の卵を産むことができます- 1日あたり50個の卵です。卵は環境に落ち、カーペット、家具、寝具、庭などの中で生活します(つまり、あなたの家の中です!)。
  • 幼虫 – 卵は幼虫に発展し、明かりから遠く離れたカーペットの奥深くに穴を掘ります。彼らは環境中の有機デブリで生活し、繭を作って蛹になり、成虫に成熟します。
  • ノミの個体数の95%は環境中の未熟な段階です。成虫のみが犬や猫に付いて生活しているのは5%です!

適切な温度条件下では、ノミの卵から成虫までのライフサイクルが短くなります(2〜3週間)。これは、温かい春と夏に行われます。冬の間は、未熟な卵や幼虫の段階が環境中で最大6ヶ月間休眠します。その後、気温が上昇すると、すべてのノミが自身の生活サイクルを完了し、成虫に成長し、突然の成虫ノミの爆発と家の大量発生を引き起こします!現在、家庭内暖房が普及しているため、ノミのサイクルは通常一年中続きます。40cm x 40cmのカーペットから500匹以上のノミが孵化することもあります!

ノミの問題の症状とは?

生きているノミを見かけることもありますが、見当たらない場合は、時々ノミのフン(小さな黒い斑点)が見えることがあります。

時にはノミに対してアレルギーを持つ子もいます。これをノミアレルギー性皮膚炎と呼びます。これはノミの唾液によって引き起こされ、ノミに刺されると痛みのある皮膚炎(皮膚の問題)が発生します。この皮膚反応はほとんどの場合、犬の尾の周りに起こりますが、猫ではどこにでも起こります。これらのアレルギー反応を起こすペットは、実際にはノミを見つけるのが珍しいため(特に猫の場合)、できるだけ早く獣医に診察を受ける必要があります。

ノミの治療方法とは?

ノミを治療する唯一の方法は、ノミの生活サイクルを停止することです。ノミの個体数(および問題)の95%は、ペットが生活する環境(つまり、彼らが住んでいる場所)にありますので、ノミの大量発生を適切に治療するには、ペットと環境の両方を治療する必要があります。ノミの駆除を適切に行うために、一年中ノミの治療と予防を行うことをお勧めします。家庭内のすべてのペットに治療を施し、治療を怠ると問題が数か月間続く可能性があります。

犬と猫のノミやマダニの治療に有効な選択肢は以下のとおりです:

  • スポットオン治療(局所的な製品)- 詳細は以下にあります
  • 錠剤(噛み砕ける)- 詳細は以下にあります
  • 環境治療- 屋内治療には、卵を除去し、休眠中のノミを刺激するためにカーペットを定期的に掃除機で吸い取ることが含まれます。カーペットを蒸気で清掃すると、ノミの幼虫も死滅します。ペットが寝るベッド全ては、熱い石鹸水で洗って太陽で乾かすべきです。ノミを標的とした霧や表面スプレーには、成虫ノミとその他の生活サイクル段階(昆虫成長調節物質)を殺す有効な化学物質が含まれています。屋外環境では、庭や犬舎に対して成虫ノミを殺す専門家による処理が推奨されます。

マダニとノミの予防製品

毎日のチェックに加えて、定期的にマダニとノミの予防製品を使用することで、マダニ中毒やノミアレルギー性皮膚炎のリスクを大幅に減らすことができます。

注意:犬用のマダニ駆除製品は猫には適していません。以下をお勧めします:

犬用

  • ブラベクトチュー:3か月に1回投与される噛み砕ける錠剤
  • ブラベクトトップスポット :6か月に1回首の後ろに塗布される液状薬
  • ネクスガードチュー :1か月に1回噛み砕ける錠剤
  • セレストカラー :マダニ用に8か月ごとに交換される首輪

猫用

  • ブラベクトトップスポット:3か月に1回首の後ろに塗布される液状薬
  • レボリューションプラス:1か月に1回首の後ろに塗布される液状薬(ほとんどの腸内寄生虫もカバー)
  • セレストカラー:ノミとマダニ用に8か月ごとに交換される首輪
  • フロントラインスプレー:猫の体全体に3週間に1回スプレーされる(手袋を使用し、皮膚と毛皮によくなじませる)

I've been taking my cat to Gordon Vet since she was a kitten. Every vet we've seen have been wonderful and have provided the best service and advice. They're very thorough and will always make sure that your pet feels comfortable. The receptionists are super friendly and the online booking system is easy to use!

Recently visited with our little cat on a late sunday morning. We called in just before they were due to close & they were happy to stay back and check over our cat so we didn't have to run to the emergency vet. DR Helen was incredibly kind and professional. She eased our worries & treated the medical issue with our cat. I feel very confident bringing our cat into see any DR at Gordon Vet Hospital as I know each staff member is genuinely caring and passionate about helping animals.

We looked for the vet with the least amount of 1-star ratings in our local area. To our surprise there are a lot of shocking reviews out there for vet clinics. Gordon Vet Hospital had the best rating by a long shot.So we called first thing yesterday morning and managed to get a booking pretty early in the morning for our cat whose condition was getting rapidly worse.Everything about our experience was lovely. From the empathetic receptionist, to the vet who is taking care of our cat who has kept us informed twice a day about her condition and took the time to answer all our questions.The cost estimate was given up-front and was very reasonable compared to every other practice.We couldn't be happier.-M

Really good with dealing with Covid by inviting patients to stay outside and they come to you. They have lots of people helping out. The only thing is that it is quite expensive compared to other vets.

Dr Catherine Chen is amazing and the only vet I trust with my three cavalier girls. Other vets have always been judgemental, but Catherine listens and works with you to come to a compromise to what is best for my girls going forward. Last time my tri went in to have a dental and she was completely happy to be there even went back in with the nurse wagging her tail while we were waiting outside! We even drive the distance since moving as we completely value Catherine's skill, expertise and manner.

First time going to Gordon Vet Hospital with my little pooch. Parking was fairly easy. The front staff very friendly. We had Vet Dr Imogene who showed genuine interest in my pooch & was very knowledgeable when asked alot of questions. Dr Imogene made us feel that we could trust her to do what is best for our pooch. Very happy to go back.Price point - they would be slightly on the higher side.A good place for your best friend 🐶

Thanks to all the team at the Gordon Vet Hospital. I transferred my dogs here a couple of year's ago from another local vet clinic as a quote for some oral work was significantly cheaper and have never regretted it. Not only good value, but excellent care, great follow up and support and my two dogs love the free liver treats - making the visits a positive experience.

They are the most understanding and caring group of people I have met. After my dog had to be put to sleep a sympathy card was sent with her paw prints and bit of hair attached and beautiful words of sympathy. A lovely thought. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

My family and I have lived in the area for over 30 years and we have never been to any other practice. The care and compassion the vets have shown towards our babies has always been of the highest standard. I would particularly like to thank Dr Coggins for the care and compassion she has shown towards me in recent months with Salem (who unfortunately was PTS this past Sunday) and also with Lilah. This practice has a real gem in her!

Well it's never nice to have to take your beloved pet(s) to the vets but sometimes you just have to. Gordon Vets are similarly priced to others in this locale but they are well organised, off street parking and the vets are compassionate about the care of animals. Even separate entrances for dogs and cats ! See attached photo. Educated, literate cats queue up outside (ir's actually the practice's resident cat).

Extremely happy with Imogen and the team. I had lost ALL faith in vets after going to GreenCross.Thankfully Gordon Vet Hospital surpassed all our hopes and expectations. Imogen was incredibly caring, clinically competent and finally solved the issue our cat had.The vet nurses and reception team seemed genuinely happy and were super friendly each time we’ve returned. Follow up care after the surgery for our cat was like night and day compared to what we’d been through at our old vet. Unlike at GreenCross where the final price always ended up being at the top of the quoted range, at Gordon Vet Hospital the quote was far more reasonable and the price ended up at the lower end of the estimate. Highly recommended this vet.

I can't rate Gordon Vet Hospital any higher. I took my 11yr old staffy in for surgery with the beautiful Imogene Ewen (amazing surgeon) and was managed by incredibly professional front office staff (Maddie). My dog, Coco was in the best of hands. The after care service is detailed and their love of animals is so very clear to all who enter. Exceptional service for the North Shore.

Gordon Vet has looked after my golden retriever since she was 9 weeks. Everyone has been amazing and caring with lots of experience. I have been able to ask any questions and always been welcome.Even one day when she stepped on a bee in the evening, they stayed open until we got there and helped her get it out.Thanks to all the staff :-)

Exceptional veterinary hospital. I have been taking my dog here for many years and although I now live in the Eastern Suburbs, I still drive across town to see the Vets at Gordon. The staff are highly skilled, compassionate, friendly and helpful. My 9 year old dog has had 2 knee operations (1 on each knee!) and the outcome of these surgeries far exceeded my expectations. I have been incredibly impressed with the care provided during all of our visits. I would highly recommend Gordon Vet Hospital.

Compassionate, caring and highly skilled veterinary surgeons who treat their patients and owners with respect. The nursing and administration staff are efficient and remember their patients by name which is a lovely touch. A lovely vet practice which despite our Golden Retriever Finn’s complex medical history, is always welcoming to him and he never displays any signs of anxiety when attending. Dr Helen is lovely and a firm favourite of ours!

We found a stray, agitated dog in front of our house last night. We phoned but got no help from the Council ranger who gave two options: tie him up in front yard overnight or "let him loose, he'll find his own way home" :( So we phoned Gordon Vet: they stayed open a few minutes so we could run him up and he could have a bed and dinner. Thank you Gordon Vet Hospital, hope he gets home soon!!! :)
