In modern families, pets, like family members, bring us endless joy and company. Pussy cat’s moaning, pup’s passionate intimacy, can suddenly dispel the darkness of the heart. However, in the warm moments of closeness with pets, it is important not to lose sight of a potential risk — that of an infectious disease that the pets may carry — and that, if they do not pay attention, the health lights will be red.There is a wide variety of infectious diseases in pets. The bowel worm is one of them, and the cat is its main host. If pregnant women are accidentally infected, the bowworm may act as an “immediate visitor” through the placenta barrier, affecting the development of the foetus and increasing the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and even foetal malformation. And rabies, after a dog with the virus bites or scratches, the virus “goes all the way” along the neuropath, and attacks the central nervous system of the human body, with an extremely dangerous rate of death of almost 100 per cent in the event of a disease. In addition, the catacomb, which is caused by fungi infections, not only tickles the cat’s skin and strips it off, but also makes it very easy to transmit it to the owner through direct contact, leaving a red spot on the owner’s skin and itching.In the face of these pitfalls, daily preventive measures are essential. First, it’s pet sanitation. Regular bathing of pets is like making them a clean “SPA” that can effectively remove dirt, dust and parts of the fungus from the fur. At the same time, hairdressing cannot be lazy, and in the process it is possible to check carefully whether the skin of a pet is abnormal and to detect potential illnesses in a timely manner. Moreover, pets must be kept clean, their nests must be regularly cleaned and disinfected, their mattresses periodically replaced and a clean and comfortable “home” for the pets, which is also protecting the health of their families.Vaccination is the key “shelter” for the prevention of infectious diseases in pets. In the case of dogs, for example, the mandatory rabies vaccine can protect dogs from rabies and significantly reduce the risk of transmission of the post-absorbing virus. There are canine fever, microvirus vaccines, etc., which create strong immune lines for dogs, reduce the incidence of disease and allow them to grow healthy. Cats also have the corresponding core vaccines, such as the Cat Three, which have a significant impact on the prevention of common deadly diseases such as cat plagues and cat noses. Following the vaccination of the pets, a record is kept, and immunizations are regularly increased to ensure the sustainability of the vaccine at the required time.In close interaction with pets, there is also a methodological approach. Avoiding excessive intimacy, such as kissing a pet’s mouth to the mouth, may seem to express love, but may allow the fungus “to take advantage of it”. After touching the pet, wash your hands in time, and this simple move is like a “separated door” that blocks the path to disease transmission. If a pet is accidentally scratched or bitten, it is important that the wound be washed with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes and then go to the hospital as soon as possible, where a specialist assesses whether rabies or tetanus vaccines are required.More attention should be paid to families with special groups such as the elderly, children and pregnant women. Older people and children are relatively less immune, and when they come into contact with their pets, they must be under adult supervision to ensure safety. Pregnant women try to avoid exposure to pet excreta during pregnancy, and if they need to be cleaned, they must wear gloves and wash their hands afterward, so as to minimize the risk of infection with bowworms.The pets are our warm partners, and as long as we do this in a scientific way to prevent infectious diseases, we can share with them a long time of joy, when love goes hand in hand with health. Let’s start with every detail, a strong health umbrella for pets and families.
