Parasite Information
Dogs can spread parasites without any signs of infection. If symptoms do appear, you may see: loose stool; diarrhea; blood in the stool; weight loss; an inability to gain weight; a dull, coarse coat; or in some cases, worms visible in the feces.

Chagas Disease
Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a blood-borne protozoal parasite. Dogs can be infected without any symptoms. If they do have symptoms, they may include: lethargy, decreased appetite, and weight loss. In more severe cases, you may also notice more severe signs, such as fainting, exercise intolerance, vomiting, and diarrhea. Puppies may be born with Chagas if their mother has it. There are three phases of Chagas. Sudden death may occur in any phase. Talk to your veterinarian about yearly testing for canine Chagas.
