Children and pets: Observe safety rules
Fleas, ticks and worms - this is not the life of satellites
Surprisingly, it is still part of the people believe that dogs and cats are definitely infected with parasites. Of course, the pet can easily catch them. Moreover, the connection of having fleas and worms is the most direct: fleas can carry them. But it was to prevent helminth infections, there are many special means, which necessarily are small puppies or kittens, and then on a quarterly basis - adult individuals.
Fighting fleas even easier - on sale there is plenty of shampoos, collars, sprays and drops, which are several months. First, you need to get rid of fleas, if any, and then give the animal anthelminthic drug.
It must be borne in mind that fleas and worms may be not only in cats and dogs, but also in small rodents. Fluffy rabbit or guinea pig also need the right content, but you need to buy the appropriate type of animal drugs for them. If you do not know what medicine to buy deworming, consult your veterinarian.
A more acute problem with ticks - a dog or a cat can catch them, even with a simple walk in the grass. Animals are not ill with encephalitis, but they have "their" disease - piroplasmosis (dogs) and gemobartonellez (in cats). For the people, these diseases are not dangerous, but for the animals in the absence of treatment, more likely to be fatal. During the period of activity of ticks (from spring to late autumn) should be regularly handle animals with special preparations and check coat after a walk.
whether the animals for human disease are dangerous?
Of course, many diseases pets can be dangerous to humans. Therefore, the animals certainly do preventive vaccination.
Rabies.
All dogs and cats must be vaccinated against rabies. Cases of rabies in domestic animals are extremely rare, so if the child was bitten by the family dog, who has a valid vaccination, do not panic. If the vaccination is not carried out, the animal will be watching the vets for 10 days. When a dog or cat bites should immediately wash the wound under the strong pressure of the water and treat it with an antiseptic.
Leptospirosis.
Another mandatory dog ??vaccination should be a vaccine against leptospirosis - a dangerous disease transmitted to humans. His transfer and rodents, so that the dog can catch it just caught a mouse.
Toxoplasmosis, chlamydia and salmonellosis.
All of these diseases can also be infected by domestic animals, including rodents. Pet birds can be infected with the last two of the list of diseases.
Dermatomycoses.
Many fungal infections can be transmitted from animals to humans if they have lowered immunity.
But the feline and canine influenza and viral enteritis people do not get sick. Accordingly, we can not infect animals to their viral disease.
Regular examination by a veterinarian, preventive vaccination and hygienic care of animals reduce the risk of infection to a minimum.
Injuries and stings
But the trauma of children when dealing with pets - phenomenon, unfortunately, very common. Safety rules are one thing: never leave small children or pets alone.
A large dog can drop the baby, just hitting its tail. A cat can scratch if the child touches it. Dogs and cats pretty quickly get used to the fact that in the house there was a new member of the family, but we can not allow them to jump on the cot or pram. Moves animals mere curiosity, not aggression, but even jumping is dangerous for the child.
When the baby gets older, you need to explain the rules of conduct with animals: in any case not to take food out of the bowl, not to pull the wool and beat the pet. Then there is no precipitating factors that can lead to trouble. Of course, children can not be ironed without the permission of foreign animals - in fact they may not be as good-natured.
Plant pet, parents should understand that the responsibility for animal health - and hence the health of children, who play with him - lies on their shoulders.
