Scientists Found Something Unexpected in Pet Poop—and It's Not Good

This article from Gizmodo discusses new research that found antiparasitic medications, specifically isoxazolines, can linger in pet feces for an extended period, posing a potential threat to insects in the wild. Researchers in France found traces of these drugs in the poop of treated cats and dogs even after treatment had ended. The study emphasizes the need for further research on the environmental impact of these medications and suggests that pet owners should dispose of their pet's poop in the trash during flea and tick treatment.
