The cause of dogs being infected with blood parasites (bloodworms) is usually the bite of an infected mosquito. The larvae carried by the mosquitoes will enter the dog's body and grow into adult worms. Adult bloodworms live in the heart, lungs and blood vessels of dogs, sucking blood and feeding on the blood of the host, causing physical discomfort to the dog.
Hematuriasis is very common in dogs, especially in warm and humid climates. . Dog owners can take some measures to prevent their dogs from being infected with bloodworms, such as avoiding places where mosquitoes are densely populated and using anti-mosquito medications. At the same time, taking your dog for regular physical examinations and timely detection and treatment of infections are the key to preventing the disease from becoming serious.
