Also spray my leggings with the permethrin and cuts way down on the ticks on me. I wear some kind of chaps all summer long and they are pretty much saturated lol.

Thanks for your advise in advance.

That's a really good food and is balanced for puppies.

Thanks

I'd try Purina Pro Plan EN Naturals or Hills I/D diets. I like them both for situations like this. They cost a little more but they are worth it. Another lower cost one is Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach diet.

Doc, I read through most of these post but couldn't find your answer. Exactly what tick spray would you recommend before cutting a dog loose. I have them on monthly preventive but I know that isn't completely efficient. Do you have any idea how effective it is after they are wet? Its getting that time and here in Arkansas they can get real bad!

Just get a good Permethrin spray from your local farm supply store. You can buy the concentrated type and dilute it to save money or just get the ready to spray on type. Martin's makes a popular 10% permethrin farm spray that can be diluted and used around the kennels and in dog houses and boxes. Be sure to follow the directions closely.

After dilution, these products cost less than 10 cents per bottle. Each diluted bottle will last you for weeks to a month. If you use the 10% solution then dilute it 1:19 for kennels and premise spray. For use on dogs dilute it 1:99. That's one oz of 10% Permethrin to 99oz of water. That provides a .05% spray for use on dogs only. Do not use on cats or birds.

With a small puppy say eight to ten weeks how long from the time it contacted the Parvo virus till it showed symptoms is there any sort of time for this or is it case by case?
Thank you again for all your help!!

4-6 days is a common reported incubation period for Parvo virus.

I have a female with a terrible ear infection. It's only in one ear and it's so bad there's a thick substance running out of it. It tried a few things but it keeps coming back. Any suggestions.

no heat cycle

I have a female dog that will be 3 this spring. I've had her since she was 8 weeks. I've not seen her go through a cycle yet. She doesn't have a problem with energy or weight. I'm feeding the blue bag of Sexton feed. It's really not a problem hunting wise, but if I were to ever want to have her bred...
Any ideas?

You need to work with your vet on that one. Those severe infections can lead to inner ear infection and need systemic antibiotics to clear them. Inner ear infections can cripple a dog from vestibular disease.

I'd have her thyroid checked. I'd also try a different brand diet if the thyroid is normal.
Good luck

I have a male that tested positive for elichria and I also had thyroid checked which was low. Can the elichria sis throw thyroid off or are they two completely separate issues. We pulled blood and sent off to lab on thuroid.

Yes tick borne disease like Ehrlichia can be a common cause for low thyroid hormone. It's called Euthyroid Sick Syndrome.

Are Ivomec based horse wormers in small doses an effective heart worm preventative?

Yes they are. Just harder to dose accurately.

Should I clear up the elichria sis then check thyroid again or continue treating both at same time?

If giving the thyroid medication helps I would continue it. At some point you might be able to wean this dog off the thyroid meds. Keep working with your vet closely to be sure you are monitoring the thyroid levels.

Thanks.. Are more of the thyroid problems we are seeing due to the increase in elichriosis or is it more of a genetic problem. My vet says he tends to see it more in treeing walkers versus other breeds. Do certain bloodlines tend to have it more than others?

It's hard to say at this point. He probably sees it in more Treeing Walkers because there are 10 x more TW than all the other breeds put together. I do think there are some bloodlines carrying the gene for hypothyroidism. I also think there are a lot of dogs that are misdiagnosed as hypothyroid when they are really sick euthyroid.

Posted by Preacher Tom on 03-12-2017 10:23 PM:

Thank you for educating us about our dogs. My question-I have a pup that was given a combo Parvo shot at 6 weeks of age. Bad vaccine/bad handling? 3 of the 7 pups died and the rest were very sick. I have now picked up my pup and he was pretty thin from being so sick but is gaining well now. He is 8 weeks old so by the every 2 weeks protocol it would be time to vaccinate. Would you or would you wait till you were sure he was completely back to form?
