Has any one heard about Flea protection being bad for our little dogs? Please let me know if what this lady is saying is true? And if it is then what do you use to keep them protected. Here is her story. Sorry for the lengthy story, but it is important to pass on to anyone who has a dog or cat. This...

I have every intention of getting them tested. But I am going to start with the worming also. My vet told me that is the best thing to do, and I can't see why not to do so. I will have them tested this weekend, and then in 3 months time. Because yes it is going to be a battle to get rid of the eggs....

My vet gave me the number to call them, or rather the nurse did. And I am pretty certain I talked with a veterinary personnel. The other thing is I just read on my box of heartworm meds, that Ivermectin is the main ingredient. Isn't that what Collies are most allergic too? If so, Lilly has had no ba...

I just spoke to someone from bayer, the company that has the Advantage-Multi for dogs. I asked her about the adverse reactions my dog might have to the product. And she felt that because she wasn't a Collie, that it shouldn't hurt her. But I don't want to give her it unless I know for certain. Who e...

The reason why I come on here and ask the questions I do. Is to see what can be done about what ever the question I am asking about. With more minds thinking on a topic, the better chance you are going to come up with something that works. I never treat my animals until I know from my vet that it wo...

LOL I just called in, and they gave me the names of the stuff that I could use to get rid of the worms. They said they would call me back, after she got with my vet. To ask her about what would be best to get rid of the worms, and about how much per size my dogs were. So they are checking into it. I...

I called my vet, and it turns out that my heartworm meds don’t cover them. So first off thank you so much for telling me to check into that. The other thing is now that there is a good chance of them having whipworms. They mentioned I could give them these worming meds. Penicure or Drontal, which on...

Thanks for all that info. I will check with my vet to see exactly what our heartworm meds cover. As for the Chi girls, they were given over to a larger Chi rescue group. Because of their more serious health issues they were having. So I truly don’t know what test were done on them. But they are pret...

HI Group, I need some help with Whipworms. I do foster care for dogs, and I recently got two Chi's that were in pretty bad shape. They were diagnosed with whipworms among other problems. They are being taken care of, and when they are cleared. They will be going to another foster home. But they left...

other then making their living space their own, not letting our dogs go into their area. And cleaning up the messes they have made. I haven't been able to do much else.
