Parasites on Stray Cats: What to Do
Strays, with weaker immunity, often carry both internal parasites (roundworms, coccidia, hookworms, toxoplasma) and external ones (fleas). Signs include diarrhea and fever; treat with combing, a flea shampoo, and broad-spectrum dewormers, then keep the coat dry and watch for post-treatment upset.

The small black bugs crawling through a cat's coat are usually fleas. A heavy flea burden causes anemia, spreads internal parasites and triggers allergic skin disease, so treat the cat and its home together. Regular topical prevention keeps fleas and other external parasites away.
Keeping Your Dog Free of Skin Problems in Summer
Summer's heat and humidity breed bacteria and parasites, so skin trouble spikes. Bathe and dry the coat with a pet shampoo, avoid strong midday sun to prevent burns, and keep the living space clean and dry. Use a monthly topical preventive with selamectin or fipronil to block fleas, lice, mites and ticks, and feed vitamins and protein to lift immunity. See a vet for itching, hair loss or rashes.
Does a Scratching Cat Always Have Parasites?
A scratching cat doesn't automatically have worms. Itching can come from parasites, but also from skin disease, allergies, dry skin, or even stress. Anxious cats may over-groom until they damage their own skin, creating a vicious itch cycle. If scratching continues after a dewormer, or comes with hair loss, redness, bumps, ulcers, or heavy scaling, it's time for a veterinary check rather than more flea treatment.
Why Does Your Dog Have White Dandruff
Some white flakes are normal daily skin turnover, but heavy dandruff with itching, hair loss, bumps, or redness signals a problem: dry skin, fungal or bacterial infection, parasites, allergies, poor nutrition, or over-bathing. Keep the skin moisturized, bathe gently no more than weekly, deworm on schedule, and improve the diet with fatty acids and vitamins. Persistent or worsening flakes need a vet skin scrape to diagnose and treat.
