These are two of your main weponds in the on going war againest heart worms and tape, pin ,whip, and all other worms and nasty little intestinal parasites that can a fine there way into them. Firsts is the Noromectin ( blue lable bottle, far left. This is the heartwormer that I use for us. 1cc a month will keep them safe by killing the larva carried by the mosquito which will enter your dogs blood stream, If bit by an affected mosquito and left untreated it will become terminal..This is cost affective at about 30 dollars for 50 months worth of protection. What's the price of 6 heart worm pills?
Next we have the fenbendazole trade name Safe-guard. The best de-wormer on the market. Either labeled for goats or dogs it is the same thing.This is given by weight 1 cc per 25 lbs. The only de-wormer not linked to bone marrow cancer. That's right bone marrow cancer.The only one. A smaller bottle cost about 19.99 and can be found at revival pet health or www.jefferspet.com Noromectin can also be found in the same places smaller 50 ml bottle will last you for 50 months given one cc/ml once a month NPO (by mouth) No injection is required. starting at the age of six months. Start out with the first one at 1/2 ml/cc or 0.5 cc/ml following month one cc/ml and thereafter.
Safe guard I use every three months in case. Now when using this on puppies is no different. If you see fleas on your pup he'll most likely have a tape worm, because that's where tape worms come from the Fleas. To rid tapeworms just give by weight 1 cc/ml= 25lbs. If your pup weights 25 lbs give one cc/ml every other day for three days. For whipworm, or beaver fever give for five days back to back. Mon.,Tue.,Wens,,Thurs.,Fri. by weight 1cc/ml per 25 lbs of your dogs weight.
SHOTS: There are 5 way 6 way 7 way 8 way. So which is the best for your aussie? Well the answer is depending on the environment in which your aussie will be surrounded by. It's a must to give the 2 some people do 3 CORE shots first and foremost. This is wildly known as the 5 way shot. Cost is about six dollars per shot. The price will increase about a dollar per number 7 way eight dollars and so on.(NO SCRIPT NEEDED for any of these types of shots) You can order them, or buy them at Southern States Supply, or any good feed supply. After the first three 5 way core shots given is the time to consider the benefits of the 7 & 8 way shots are pretty much a waste of money and can cause more problems than it supposed to prevent.
If there is wild animals around your yard then you want to consider the other shots. 7 or 8 way shot starting at 15 weeks of your dogs age. After giving the first one at 15 weeks old. Wait at least three weeks before giving another. This will do just fine. DO NOT GIVE THEM YEARLY BOOSTERS OF THESE TYPES.OF SHOTS. Not needed. Like us they have memory cells. If you continue to give them yearly you will notice changes such as hair fall out, skin reactions and a hole host of undesirable reactions by doing so. SO I DON'T. It is not necessary for me to make my aussie sick. Some vets might want to tell you otherwise. Just log on to the web site. University of Maryland to the head of Veterinarian Medicine you will see who he agrees with.
The 5 way core shot is given at 5 weeks 8 weeks 12 weeks then if you need the 7 or 8 way shot to be given at 15 weeks 18 weeks. That's it, all done. Now move on to rabies shot. Your state law will require this shot. Follow up. Dates may vary from state to state. Just look it up on the web for your state rather then call your vets office for this.. If you have need of these core shots and can't afford the vets office you can call me.252 398 3236 I can show you how to give them pain free and will be glad guild your hand with mine to help you even if you didn't adopt from me just for the cost of the shot. Most important that they receive these core shots on time above everything else.
What's the matter buddyy you got Fleas? Not anymore! Take one of these. Also comes in 25lbs and under.
Stool eatting? It's not just a warm meal any more. Don't knock it until you've tried it. In most cases it is a lack of B+ This helps stop that. Also sign of tape worms.
I found out some years ago that giving some of my aussie's the vac. for kennel cough just gave them kennel cough. Well crap! This is a fine mess. It's no mistaking the sound of the cough. Have you heard it? Sounds like the croop. Vets love it money in the bank. Yes Sir.. But wait a minute here's something. Doxycycline hyclate 100mg. Wow that's what the vet prescribed for five times the cost. What a rip off. This can be found at Revival animal health. Either for fish or birds no scrip needed. 100mg of Doxycycline is what it is as sure as oats is oats. I treated mind like this two capsules. 200 mg first in the morning then one 100 mg in the eve. then two 100 mg capsules a day for a total of 200 mg a day after the first day. Given 12 hours apart keeps the level constant. Also used Robitussin DM only DM and all is back to normal. Two table spoons full or 8.5 ml/cc is fine for adults for under 25lbs pups I halved it 3.75 ml. Treated with Doxycycyline for the full 14 days (full 14 days) didn't skip a day, because if I did I have to start all over like it was day one. They had to keep the constant level for the 14 days even after hearing the cough was gone. I been with this breed scents 1978 in numbers of my own. So it's hard not to learn something. Got a problem? Reach for the phone. It's all about the aussie's not the money.
