You are in NH so the game in your area probably don't have the degree of
parasites that they do in the southern climes.
But I think there are many parasites in burrow-dwelling critters
both microscopic and macroscopic, beyond what the normal
dog worming-medicine fights (roundworms, heartworms, and tapeworms).
