Water Parasites in Babies

Boiling water doesn’t kill water parasites, and a filter doesn’t do any better.

Most water parasites in dogs cause diarrhea, and most are easily treated. However, their infection is more serious in immunocompromised or debilitated animals. A common parasite known as Leptosporidia has the worst prognosis and can lead to kidney and liver failure. Vaccination and drinking only clean water are your best bet. However, don’t limit yourself to freshwater – a healthy immune system will be able to clear parasites if they attack.

Cryptocaryon irritans are one of the most common water parasites and can be found in fish from both freshwater and saltwater habitats.
