The Importance of Worming Treatments

Worming treatments are equally important, protecting your pet from harmful parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. These parasites can affect your pet’s health and, in some cases, pose a risk to human family members. Our veterinary team will recommend a worming schedule tailored to your pet’s age, size, and lifestyle to ensure effective protection.

Unsure if your pet may be affected by fleas, ticks or worms? Signs to look out for include:

Excessive scratching
Red or irritated skin
Flea dirt (black specks) for flea infestations
Swelling or lethargy
Weight loss
Bloated belly
Vomiting
Visible worms in stool

Protecting Pets & Families from Parasites

Unchecked flea and tick infestations can cause more than irritation—they can lead to skin conditions, allergic reactions, and even severe illnesses like Lyme disease.

From topical treatments to long-lasting collars, we provide easy-to-use, effective solutions that work for your pet and your household.

We also offer guidance on maintaining a parasite-free home environment, as fleas and ticks can easily spread to bedding, furniture, and carpets. Our expert team is happy to recommend complementary services, such as Microchipping, to ensure your pet is fully safeguarded.

Don’t wait until fleas or ticks become a problem. Let us help you keep your pets comfortable and your home pest-free. Visit our clinic on the Central Coast or call (02) 4392 2088 to learn more about prevention and treatment options tailored to your pet’s needs.

What Do Paralysis Ticks Look Like?

Paralysis ticks are small, oval-shaped parasites that attach to your pet’s skin to feed. They range in colour from light grey to blue-grey when engorged. Before feeding, they appear flat and brownish, about the size of a pinhead, but they swell significantly as they consume blood.

Paralysis ticks are typically found in bushland, long grass, and coastal areas, especially in warm, humid climates. They commonly attach:

Under the collar, tail or front legs
Inside the groin area
Between the toes
On the elbow

Ticks can be removed using a tick remover or fine-tipped tweezers by grasping close to the skin and pulling steadily. If your pet is experiencing weakness, wobbliness, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or paralysis, call Kanwal Veterinary Hospital on (02) 4392 2088 for urgent attention.
