Zhejiang Online News, 28th of August, “Pups bathe every day, too, so that they can be noticed”. Yesterday, IU citizen Zhang Ling called the Community Hotline to report that last Saturday, her daughter spent less than an hour playing at her neighbor's house, and then came home with itching, for no reason. It was only after a medical examination that it became known that it had been bitten by fleas, the source of which was the neighbouring pet dog.
Zhang Ling said that when she was eight years old, her daughter had always loved little animals like cats and dogs, and she would stop and look at them. But fearing that the child would be accidentally scratched by this type of animal, even if the daughter was crying, Zhang Ling and his wife had not consented to the child's pets. However, since the neighbour had a two-year-old girl who was older than her daughter and had a Teddy dog at home, the daughter always liked to go home after school.
Zhang Ling said that the neighbor's daughter was particularly good and would take care of her and that his dog usually took a bath for two days, and that they were willing to let her run to the neighbor's house. There were no problems until Saturday, when “the daughter, when she came home, was scratched and scratched and itchy”.
Zhang Ling said that she had caught her daughter and saw a lot of small red bags and thought it was the child who had a hot rash and took the child to the pharmacy to buy medicine. As a result, the doctor at the pharmacy told her that the red dots should have been bitten by fleas and suggested that she should take less of her daughter to the grass and animals. "My daughter was home all day. Where's the flea?" Zhang Ling only remembered the fleas that might have been brought on the neighbor's dog.
On returning home, Zhang Ling was busy disinfecting her daughter ' s clothes with hot water, as recommended by the doctor. Two fleas were indeed found and the neighbour, Ms. Wong, was informed.
"We bathed the dogs yesterday. How could we have fleas?" Ms. Wong did not believe it at first, but she removed the dog's hair and found that the dog did have some small black particles and several visible bruises. Subsequently, Ms. Wong took the dog to the nearby pet hospital for examination and was confirmed to have fleas on the dog. "How can a long bug wash so quickly?" In response, Mr. Chen explained that it was normal to have parasites on pets during the high season of summer and autumn, combined with warmer weather in recent times. "A normal bath can only be clean, not dewormed." Mr. Chen said that preventing fleas on pets, etc., would require the purchase of specialized anti-worm water or bathing with specialized insecticide soap and shampoo. In addition, pet supplies are to be cleaned on a regular basis so as to minimize the use of pets in grasslands and to minimize exposure to other pets.
