DlB—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 9,1981 O Ask the @ tS3I VMD Hi Leon Riegel Worming farm pets A reader asks: What type of wormer can safely be used for farm dogs and cats? Dr. Maas comments: Understanding the life cycle of parasites is of prune Importance in establishing a program to control infestations in dogs and cats. All gastrointestinal parasites are passed in the fecal material of animals. They can be in various stages, such as egg, oocyst, or larva. After a certain incubation period, they may directly reinfect the animal, or they may require an initial maturation in an in termediate host before becoming infective agam. Preventative and control measures are aimed at breaking some part of the organism’s life cycle. There is no better preven tive technique than simple removal of fecal matter on a regular basis daily, if possible. The eggs laid by the adult female parasites are entrapped in the fecal matter until it is broken down by ram or tracking.

Unfortunately, this is not always the practical situation with farm dogs but routine and frequent yard clean-up is possible. Other factors that affect control include soil type, sunlight, and chemical decontamination of an outdoor area. For example, if rain washes whipworm eggs deep into less compact, sandy soil, the eggs are not as accessible for reingestion by the animal Whereas, on a tight, clay soil, the non-motile eggs remain nearer the surface. . - In the case of hookworm in fective larvae, the reverse is true they are more infective on a sandy soil. Hatched hookworm larvae can migrate deeper into sandy soil if the surface is dry and return to the surface when moisture is more favorable to their -survival. Direct sunlight is excellent in reducing the level of infective stages on concrete or ground. Hatched hookworm larvae are more susceptible to drying out and death than are the intact eggs of roundworms or whipworms.

It must be remembered, however, in times" of uncomfortable high temperatures, provisions for shade are necessary. Hookworm larvae ,are ef fectively killed by using sodium borate, sold in grocery stores for use in washing clothes. It can be sprinkled dry over concrete or dirt areas at-the rate of 10 pounds per 100 feet, then wet by sprinkler. Its effect on unhatched . hookworm eggs or eggs of roundworms and whipworms is questionable, though. Repeating the application every one to two months is beneficial during the Spring and Summer. Sodium borate causes no known reaction to an animal’s feet, however it does kill grass. A commercial spray is available that does not kill grass, but it must be used every two weeks and its ef fectiveness lasts only a few days. BARN BURNED!!!

(215) 395-8084 eliminating etfect against larvae m tissues other than the intestine. Roundworm larvae gieatly damage not only the in testine but also the liver and lungs of both dogs and cats. And, initial infection by hookworm larvae may be skin penentration as well as oral ingestion. Control of tapeworms depends not only on the efficiency of the wonner used, but also on the availability of reinfections from appropriate intermediate hosts. Fleas and, less frequently, chewing lice must be controlled since they are intermediate hosts in the development of one type of common tapeworm infective to pets. Flea collars, though not always completely effective, do much to reduce the total flea in festation and thus restrict tapeworm reinfection. Similarly, a second type of frequent tapeworm infection is reduced if dogs do not eat wild cottontail rabbits and cats do not ingest wild rodents. This is hardly feasible in outdoor animals and reinfection of this type of. tapewormm is therefore common. Effective and safe treatment of gastrointestinal parasitism depends upon accurate diagnosis of the particular type of infection in the dog or cat, and there are frequently more than one kind involved. This is done by sub mitting a fresh fecal specimen to a veterinarian who checks for specific egg types present in the sample." Tapeworm segments are often noticed flinging to the hair around the anus and appear as small, white, dried, ? rectangular shapes similar to rice grains. After the veterinarian diagnoses the parasite infection, worming medicine is prescribed in either oral tablets, granule or liquid ' form, or through injection. No one type of wormer medication is known that treats the five most common gastrointestinal parasites simultaneously that is, found- worms, tapeworms, whipwoims, hookworms, and coccidia. Some gastrointestinal wormers require ’ fasting of the animal before and after administration. Others require a negative blood test taken by the veterinarian to check for canine heartworms since adverse reactions are possible if gastrointestinal worming medicine is given to dogs har boring heartworms. Also, depending on the type of' problem diagnosed, it may be the veterinarian’s recommendation that a second an/or subsequent dosing of the wormer at a later specified tune is necessary to effectively break the parasite’s life cycle.
