Dog parasites split into internal, living in the gut, and external, on the skin. Roundworms, hookworms, heartworm, and tapeworms live inside; mange mites, ticks, and fleas live on the surface, and each brings its own risk.
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.
