Abstract:Taking the Kang Er Bei Pet Hospital of Gansu Vocational College of Animal Husbandry and Engineering as a platform,this study investigates the types and infection rates of ectoparasites in pet dogs in Liangzhou District of Wuwei City,providing references for the prevention and treatment of ectoparasitic diseases in local pet dogs.The diagnostic cases were classified and statistically analyzed based on four aspects:breed,gender,age,and whether deworming was performed.The results showed that:(1)Teddy dogs had the highest rate of ectoparasite infection;(2)Young dogs had a higher rate of ectoparasite infection than adult dogs;(3)Mites were the dominant type of parasites infecting pet dogs;(4)Regular deworming could effectively reduce the infection rate of ectoparasitic diseases.The study suggests that pet dogs in Liangzhou District of Wuwei City have varying degrees of ectoparasite infections,and it is necessary to strengthen prevention and control measures.
