Can I use ivermectin to deworm my dog?
Yes, but control the dose carefully. Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum pet dewormer effective against fleas, lice, mites, and worms, but dogs are sensitive to it and overdose causes poisoning (vomiting, ataxia, tremors). Use it under veterinary guidance.
What Are the Signs of Ear Mites in Cats?
Ear mites in cats typically cause head and ear scratching, head shaking, heavy brown discharge in the ear canal, and a foul odor. If you notice these signs, consider ear mites and consult a vet for diagnosis. If confirmed, treat promptly with mite medication and an ear-cleaning solution, following the vet's instructions and label to eliminate the mites completely.
How to deworm a dog internally?
Use pet oral dewormers, often beef-flavored and easy to give, or mix into food for picky dogs. Always follow the vet's dosage exactly—never overdose, or it may poison the dog.
Does Your Dog Really Need Monthly Deworming? (Avoid One-Size-Fits-All)
Deworming frequency should follow the dog's age, health, and lifestyle, not a rigid monthly rule—dewormers are broken down by the liver and kidneys, and overuse burdens the body. Puppies start at 45 days and go monthly until 6 months; after that, internal deworming drops to every 3 months while external stays monthly. The schedule is flexible: a mostly-indoor dog in the cold season, when fleas and ticks breed less, can be treated less often, and a sick, pregnant, or senior dog may need a pause or lower frequency. Match the plan to real risk.

Puppy with jelly-like stool full of worms after diarrhea – what is the cause?
Persistent diarrhea with worms and poor appetite suggests severe internal parasite infestation causing gastroenteritis, and secondary parvovirus cannot be ruled out. Have the vet screen for infectious disease; if not viral, continue the prescribed antidiarrheal and consider fluids, electrolytes and antibiotics.
