A 'Meatball' Grew in the Dog's Ear: Dad Forcefully Pinching It
No matter whether you raise dogs like mongrels or breeds, I believe most pet owners are most afraid of their dogs getting sick, not only will the dogs suffer, but pet owners will also have to spend a lot of money. This is precisely why there are cases of abandoned sick dogs.
Next, Dr. Xiao Ming will tell you a story about a mongrel dog. This pet owner lives in a rural area and raises a mongrel dog to guard the house. His family treats the dog well. One day, when the pet owner was playing with the dog, he noticed a small 'meatball' in the dog's ear and became a little worried.
The pet owner thought the dog was sick and immediately called his father to take a look. His father saw it and immediately took a pair of pliers, then forcefully pinched the 'meatball' in the dog's ear, and blood flowed out continuously.
The pet owner watched nervously. Was this method too rough? Later, he discovered that the thing that fell off was still moving, and upon close observation, he found it was a bloodsucker. It made him feel sick.
His father explained that it was a tick, which often sucks blood from dogs. It is unknown when the tick targeted the dog, and whether there were other ticks on the dog's body. It is best to check carefully.
Dr. Xiao Ming just wanted to say, 'This father is really ruthless.' Ticks need to be removed with tools, otherwise they will remain in the dog's body, and they are very stubborn.
Dr. Xiao Ming: Ticks become active as the weather warms up, especially in summer. Dogs who often play in grass and outdoors are easily attracted to them. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly do pest control, preferably once a month.
If you find ticks on your dog, do not pull them out with your hands. First, use alcohol to 'knock them out', then use tweezers to vertically remove them, so as not to cause further infection.
