Why Does a Golden Retriever Keep Gagging?
A Golden Retriever that keeps gagging may have indigestion, internal parasites, or a bone or fish bone stuck in its throat. Fast and give probiotics for indigestion, deworm (e.g. albendazole) for parasites, and see a vet if a bone will not come up or breathing is troubled.
Do Rabbits Need Deworming?
Yes — pet rabbits need regular deworming even though their high body temperature limits fleas and lice; poor hygiene can still bring mites. Start at 2 months: kits 2-6 months monthly, over 6 months every ~3 months, adults every 6-12 months. Dose carefully (most products are toxic), disinfect feces with lime milk, treat all rabbits together, and sanitize the cage with boiling water or sun.
My pet lost a patch of fur on its tail with white dandruff, and is passing worms
Tail hair loss with dandruff is usually a skin disease, and worms from the anus are usually intestinal parasites. Take the dog to the vet for a skin scraping to identify the skin disease and a fecal test for the parasite, then use the right topical medicine and an internal dewormer, and deworm monthly to avoid reinfection.
How often should an adult Teddy be dewormed?

What to Keep in Mind When Using Topical Flea and Tick Treatment on Cats
Cats can pick up external parasites at any time of year, so regular preventive treatment matters. Topical products come as sprays or spot-on drops, and their coverage depends on the active ingredient, so the right choice depends on your cat's lifestyle and the parasites it faces. Apply spots along the spine, dose by weight, avoid bathing for a few days, and use an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking. Kittens can start around two months old with monthly treatment; adults need it every one to three months, more often in warm seasons or for outdoor cats. Never use dog-only products containing permethrin on cats.
My one-month-old Malinois had deworming yesterday and lost its appetite the next day — why?
Reduced appetite after internal deworming is normal; the medication irritates the gut and may cause mild vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite loss that usually passes in 1–2 days. If symptoms persist, rule out allergy or other illness and see a vet.
Cat Deworming: A Beginner’s Guide
Choosing a cat dewormer confuses many new owners, and a wrong pick can fail to work or even cause allergy, gut irritation, or liver damage. The good news is that careful, budget-friendly choices are possible.

Regular, correct deworming protects both cat and family.
My two-month-old puppy vomited worm-like nematodes — is this normal ten days after deworming?
Vomiting visible nematodes means a heavy internal parasite load (roundworms, tapeworms). Redeworm with albendazole or praziquantel dosed by weight; see a vet if other symptoms appear.
