跳蚤和蜱虫的预防

在Ku-Ring-Gai地区,跳蚤是狗和猫的常年面对的问题,而蜱在春季和夏季更是一个大难题。 有时,我们会在年中其他时段遇到蜱麻痹的情况,特别是在草丛非常繁茂的地区,因为那里有很多负鼠和狸居住(蜱天然寄主)。

跳蚤

我的宠物如何得跳蚤?

首先,一些成年跳蚤跳到你的宠物身上:无论是在公园里,在丛林中,狗舍/猫舍,甚至在你自己的花园。 从此,在跳蚤的生命周期里,他们极快速度繁殖。 在你发现之前,已经演变成一个难以控制的虫害感染! 跳蚤对澳大利亚的狗和猫来说是一种真正的害虫,让猫狗不断发痒,脱发和受到刺激。 让你狗的跳蚤问题得到控制,因为这些跳蚤也会成为宠物主人的真正害虫!

什么是跳蚤生命周期?

  • 从成年跳蚤开始:他们可以跳超过身体长度150倍,很容易地从一只狗身上跳到另外的狗或猫身上。
  • 一旦沾上猫狗的表面皮肤,跳蚤将以狗或猫的血液为食,雌性跳蚤则开始产卵
  • 跳蚤卵 – 雌性跳蚤一生可产下2000个卵 – 每天50个卵。卵掉进宠物生活的地毯,家具,床上用品和花园的环境中(即在你的家中!)
  • 幼虫 – 跳蚤卵发育成幼虫,远离光线深入地毯。 他们生活靠环境中的有机垃圾生存,纺成茧成蛹,直至成熟
  • 95%的跳蚤是普通环境中不会成熟。只有5%的成年跳蚤能寄生在狗或猫身上!

他们怎样飞快繁殖?

在适当的温度条件下,跳蚤从虫卵成长到成虫的周期较短(2-3周)。 这指春季和夏季,天气变暖的时候。 在冬季,未成熟的卵和幼虫可以在环境中休眠长达6个月。 然后当温度升高,他们都完成了他们的生命周期,并成熟为成虫,这导致成年跳蚤数量突然变多,并在你家开展大规模侵扰! 今天,随着更多的家庭使用供暖,跳蚤周期通常会持续一年。 40厘米x 40厘米的地毯可以孵化超过500只跳蚤!

跳蚤的迹象?

你可以拨开狗或猫的尾巴底部附近皮毛查看有没有跳蚤。 如果不能看到活的跳蚤,有时会看到跳蚤粪便(小的黑色斑点)。

有时侯,宠物会对跳蚤产生过敏,称为跳蚤过敏性皮炎(FAD)。 它是由跳蚤唾液引起的。当宠物被跳蚤咬伤时,跳蚤的唾液会产生令人讨厌的疼痛性皮炎(皮肤问题)。 大多数时候,这种皮炎反应在狗尾巴附近,也可在猫身体上的任何地方。 每10天里,只有一次跳蚤咬伤会导致宠物过敏性瘙痒,所以当场在宠物身上发现跳蚤(特别是在猫)中是不常见的。 这些宠物需要尽快看兽医。

治疗跳蚤的最佳方法?

处理跳蚤的唯一方法是停止跳蚤的生命周期。95%的跳蚤(和问题)源自宠物的居住环境(即他们居住的地方),为了妥善处理跳蚤感染,有必要同时治疗宠物和整理环境。 建议全年使用跳蚤治疗和预防措施来持续控制跳蚤的产生和数量。 家中所有的宠物都必须接受治疗,如果错过治疗时机,问题可能会持续数月。

狗和猫的跳蚤治疗的有效方法有:

  • 点滴式药剂治疗(外用产品)   – 这能杀死跳蚤成虫,完全停止生命周期。 他们还能杀死在户外跳到你宠物身上的跳蚤。 每月施加一次点滴式药剂在狗或猫的脖子后面。 例如 Advantage 或 Frontline牌的药剂。 只使用于狗身上的 ADVANTIX   (外用蜱虫预防产品)也可用作跳蚤治疗。 它能给猫使用,因为它对猫有毒。
  • 片剂(咀嚼片)  – 这能杀死跳蚤成虫,完全停止生命周期。 。 他们还能杀死在户外跳到你宠物身上的跳蚤。 每个月给宠物服用一次。   Nexgard   是一个新药,这每月咀嚼片只能给狗服用,能杀跳蚤和蜱虫。 这对于经常游泳或洗澡的狗是很有效。Comfortis 是可以让狗和猫都使用的灭蚤咀嚼片 。 最后, Capstar   是一种短效片剂,每周使用2-3次,杀死狗和猫的跳蚤成虫。
  • 环境治理  – 室内清洁包括定期地毯吸尘去除虫卵和铲除休眠的跳蚤。 蒸汽清洗地毯也杀能死跳蚤幼虫。 宠物睡觉的所有被褥都应该用热肥皂水清洗,并在阳光下晾干。 Foggers是一种高效适合室内使用的化学药剂。 最好的Foggers系列所含的成分能够杀死跳蚤成虫及其他生命周期阶段(昆虫生长调节剂)。 对于户外环境, 建议在花园和狗舍内使用 专业跳蚤灭绝剂。

蜱虫

什么是麻痹蜱?

麻痹蜱(Ixodes holocyclus)是一种令人讨厌的寄生虫会令澳洲境内的狗和猫死亡。 蜱虫在春夏季的澳大利亚东海岸最常见,而全年都可以发现瘫痪蜱的影踪。 负鼠和狸是瘫痪蜱的天然寄主,这意味着蜱虫能寄生在他们身上而不会使他们生病。 我们的宠物穿过草地或丛林等负鼠和狸等本地动物的居住地的时候,会粘上蜱虫。 大多数宠物甚至没有离开后院也会感染上这种寄生虫!

瘫痪如何使我的宠物生病?

瘫痪蜱生命周有一年长,从卵,幼虫,若虫到成年麻痹蜱(最危险的阶段)。 麻痹蜱成虫有一个梨形椭圆形身体,通常是灰色的。 它们附着在狗或猫的皮肤上,以血液为食。吸血时,蜱会从它的口腔分泌毒素,从而影响被叮咬吸血动物的神经系统。 刚开始附着时蜱虫很小,约一周内当它们吸食满血液的时候就会增大。 取决于他们吸食的血液分量,蜱虫的大小从几毫米到1厘米不等。

宠物中了麻痹蜱毒有哪些症状?

  • 步伐摇摆不定,特别是后腿
  • 无声的吠叫
  • 急速而嘈杂的呼吸
  • 缓慢而伴有咕噜的呼吸
  • 咳嗽,呕吐,流口水和呕吐
  • 不太明显的迹象包括嗜睡和食欲不振

什么是蜱幼虫?

  • 瘫痪蜱虫卵排放在草丛和灌木丛中。孵化时,幼虫会等待动物经过的时候跳上动物身上。 有时候,如果宠物闯进了蜱虫窝,那么数百个小的蜱幼虫(通常称为草蜱)会一次过全部跳起来,让你的宠物感到痕痒难耐。通常来说, 这些针头大小的蜱幼虫不会导致宠物瘫痪,但仍然被叮咬的宠物还是需要治疗的。如果您发现任何可疑的情况,请联系我们。
  • 一旦出现瘫痪蜱叮咬中毒的迹象,狗和猫就会很快生病。 如果你的宠物出现任何症状,立即去看到兽医至关紧要。 治疗越早,宠物的生存几率越高。 如果宠物没有得到及时治疗,他们极有可能面对死亡。 动物医院拥有蜱抗血清来防止毒素进一步蔓延。 住院和其他相关治疗可能需要几天。

我应该如何保护我的宠物免受蜱虫的伤害?

预防蜱麻痹相对于比让蜱虫叮咬事件发生,更为安全和便宜。

  • 每天检查宠物身上有没有蜱虫痕迹

蜱虫预防的最重要一环是在麻痹蜱虫季节期间每天对宠物的皮肤和皮毛进行彻底检查。 即使已经使用了蜱控制产品,也要检查。   最好是用手指尖去感觉蜱虫。 通常,蜱成虫的直径为3mm以上。 从宠物的头部和颈部,耳朵和脸部等常见的地方开始检查。 大约70%的蜱虫会寄生这些区域(不要忘记嘴唇)。 然后手指移动到身体其他部位,10根手指梳过你宠物的皮毛,寻找一个个凹凸或不寻常的部位。 还要记得检查爪子掌心的部分。

如果发现蜱虫,尽可能快速又平稳地将其移除。 不要试图先杀死蜱虫。 抓住蜱虫的身体,牢牢地将虫子扭转拉走。高登动物医院有一种名为Tick Twister的先进设备,使您清除蜱虫的工作变得简单。移除蜱虫的时候,抓住虫子最靠近它口器(与动物皮肤接触的地方),避免让虫子进入动物身体。如果有疑问,最好给我们电话来咨询。

蜱虫预防产品

除日常宠物皮毛检查外,定期使用控制蜱虫的产品能大大降低了宠物蜱中毒的风险。

请注意,只供狗用的控蜱虫制产品不适合用于猫。 我们推荐:

小狗

  • Nexgard –  一个月一次咀嚼片
  • Bravecto –  每3个月一次咀嚼片
  • Advantix –   一个液体安瓿每两周涂在脖子后面(对猫有毒)
  • KiltixScalibor项圈   可以与Advantix结合使用并排斥蜱虫

  • Frontline喷雾  每3周在猫身上施用一次喷雾剂(使用手套揉搓猫类皮肤和毛发)

Frontline Top Spot 滴剂   Frontline喷雾的替代品,如果你的猫不能忍受喷雾。 这是液体安瓿,每两周使用一次,涂抹在猫脖子后面(未注册此用途,但被广泛使用)

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!!! :)
