Hair
Daily Brushing is recommended to remove dead hair, distribute skin’s oils, and remove dandruff.
Longhaired dogs may have matted hair. Tease out mats with a comb or cut out if teasing will not work. Longhaired dogs also need burrs cut out of their hair coats. To avoid injury to skin, a comb should be placed between matted hair or burr and the skin prior to cutting.
![Page 99: HOUNDING INFO ON DOGS Chase High. MAJOR GROUPS OF DOGS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a91a9e/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Hair
Terriers and wirehaired breeds accumulate dead hair which must be plucked. A stripping knife is used to remove dead hair and trim live hair.
In plucking, a section of dead hair is grasped between the thumb and stripping knife then pulled away with a twisting motion.
![Page 100: HOUNDING INFO ON DOGS Chase High. MAJOR GROUPS OF DOGS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a91a9e/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Hair
Bathe only when extremely dirty! Some good products to use are baby shampoo, mild soap, and coconut oil shampoo.

Nails

Avoid cutting into the nail bed, which will cause bleeding. Black nails present the most problems since the nail bed is harder to see. The nail bed is easily seen on white or clear nails.

Nails
Have styptic powder on hand to stop any bleeding.
The dew claw should always be checked because it does not wear down.
Never use sharp, pointed scissors to trim nails. Injury may result should the animal move in an unexpected manner.

Ascarids or Roundworms
May grow to 8” in length when mature. Affect mainly puppies and deprive them of
nutrients and they become unthrifty. Roundworms live in small intestines of dogs
less than 6 months old. Transmitted by female dogs to puppies Severe infestation causes puppies to have
a potbellied appearance Dangerous to children as well

Hookworms
Blood-sucking parasites that attach to the small intestine, causing small spots of bleeding Adult worms are about 1” long and digest a
plug of tissue from the S.I. Heavy infestations make the animal appear
weak, listless, and anemic as a result of blood loss.
Affects older dogs as well as puppies.

Whipworms
Broad at one end and narrow at the other. They use the narrow end to attach to the cecum and lower digesting tract. Adults are about 2 ½” long and produce
shell protected eggs that may live in soil for years.
Produce watery feces and may result in dehydration or death

Tapeworms
Usually the largest worms affecting dogs, and most depend on a host such as a flea or wild rabbit to develop. Flat and segmented worms that live in the
S.I. Shed terminal segments in feces. Not harmful to dogs but may cause serious
injury to humans.

Heartworms
Thin worms that grow to a length of 14” and live in the major artery carrying blood from the heart to the lungs. Serious threat to dogs causing injury to vital
organs. Symptoms: coughing, labored breath, fainting
in severe cases. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes Prevention is preferred to treatment and if
treatment is to be successful, it must occur early in the infestation

Ticks
Soft Ticks The main soft tick is the Spirose Ear Tick.
The larvae and nymph stage live in and
cause irritation to the outer ear canal

Mites
Tiny eight-legged arachnids. 5 species cause the most problem for dogs.
Demodectic mites don’t usually cause problems, but a severe infestation may result in hair loss, reddening of the skin, and encrusting either in spots or over the entire body.
![Page 137: HOUNDING INFO ON DOGS Chase High. MAJOR GROUPS OF DOGS.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649da65503460f94a91a9e/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
Mites
2 types of Sarcoptic mites burrow within the outer layer of skin, are highly contagious, and result in mange or scabies…which could result in the dog injuring themselves.
Ear Mites are highly contagious and are found in the outer ear canal and other areas of dogs. Flea products are an effective treatment.
