The smaller of the two is the male, the female being larger because she gluts herself with the dog's blood. After mating, ^he male drops off the dog's body and dies. Later, the female-, well nourished from the dog's blood, also drops to the ground where she may lay as many as 15,000 eggs. Cats have been known to become infected with,the"virus that causes Newcastle disease in poultry and may play a part in spreading the disease from flock to flock. Owners of hunting dogs should inspect their, dog's feet frequently watching for tender spots, injuries, foreign matter, and " removing grass or caked mud found between the pads. Pet owners are warned to use extreme caution when cleaning their pets' eyes with cotton because it often is abrasive enough to cause injury to the delicate eye membranes. Infection; of dogs. with a certain type of internal parasite can produce symptoms that are almost identical with- those of canine distemper, the American Veterinary Medical, says. • Until additional information on _ the toxicity of many of the"new-" er insecticides is available, the American Veterinary Medical association advises dog and cat owners to consult a veterinarian before treating their pets for control of external parasites.
