Comfortis works good for me.

Nothing better than seeing a girl and her pup! Great picture of a beautiful girl.

"wherever there are two or more gathered, I am there." This is only my opinion, but the theory of church is for fellowshiping ( not sure that is a word lol). I too was raised for most of my younger years by my grandpa, who was a pastor. He was one of those country preachers that could lift you up so high with a sermon that you would have to look down to see heaven. If the doors were open I was there. At the age of about 13 I became disenchanted with the church that I had attended for all those years, when like it was mentioned previously, I saw the people that had been out the night before drinking it up and cheating on their spouses. These same people were the ones that were sitting in the front pews saying amen and hallelujah the loudest. Not wanting to give  up attending church altogether, I attended several (14 to be exact, that is how many we had in our town) and continued to be left wanting. I decided to talk to the one that I felt wouldn't give me the answer, but who would help guide me to where I could find my own answers, my grandpa. By this time he had long since left the pulpit, was a little hard of hearing, unable to perform the duties as a deacon but was still as much in love with his Lord and Savior as the day he began his journey. After listening to me ramble on and on, he asked me a question. He asked me "Why do you attend services?" I thought he had lost his mind, but I answered him as best I could because I knew he never asked a question lightly. I told him I attended to feel closer to and worship the Lord. He just shook his head and said "Baby you don't have to attend an organized service to do that." Now I really thought that he had started to slip. I asked him "Well, why did you feel the need to minister?" He said shoot thats easy, I wanted to bring the word to those that may not know Him. Your granny always said that I could talk the horns off a billygoat, so I thought as long as I like to talk I might as well talk about something that I felt strongly about and the rest is history. He said when he started out he didn't do his worshiping in the church all the time. There were stretches that he never set foot in a church, but he still worshipped. It could have been when he was plowing a field, hunting, walking or driving down the road, etc. He told me "Baby the Lord doesn't care where it is that you worship Him, as long as you take the time and do it with love in your heart." I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, just felt the need to share.

AMEN! Enough said.

Didn't realize this was you Liz lol. Give Wade or Jay a call and they would be more than willing to tell you the same thing. You see how good Boogie, Heidi and Budro look. BTW are ya'll going to be at Skipper's next weekend?

We feed Victor 24/20 to all 9 dogs that we have and they do great. We have everything from a 110lb Rotty to a 12lb chiweenie. We have everything from a poster child for Jenny Craig to anorexic supermodel. It maintains the easy keepers and the hard to maintain nicely I think. As an added bonus the firm stools make for easy cleaning when it comes to kennels. We tried Diamond, but after feeding it for a month and only making it through a quarter to half a bag because they wouldn't eat what was in their bowls until they absolutely were starving we changed to the Victor and haven't looked back since. You are going to get varied opinions on this, but that is our experience.

Could possibly be pyometria. Hopefully not if you are wanting to breed her at a later time. Here's hoping that the vet finds something easily treated.

Ka Kawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

You may want to have her patellas (kneecaps) looked at by your vet, they may be luxating. There are 4 grades and if that is the problem then she may need to have surgery.

No it isn't contagious, yes it CAN be genetic, Taktic is excellent to treat. It is usually used once a week for 5 weeks. One of the main things to concern yourself with is secondary infection from the dog itching. Mitaban is used to treat as well. Red Mange stems from an immature/weakened immune system. Generally once the immune system reachs maturity or is restored to full potential there is usually no other occurrences.

Can't say how much he will weigh, but they tend to need to eat about a third less than what they were eating before surgery.

They also have a pill out now that combines iverheart max (heartworm prevention) and comfortis (flea protection) all in one pill. Costs about $20 for the pill and last for 30 days.

Could be whips, could be coccidia or could be parvo. Either way I would suggest a visit to the vet.

He's not photogenic at all is he? I bet he's very shy too!

Sure is a tiny little thing! 

LOL!

Bathe the dog with Ketochlor and then follow with a dip bath of Tactik. Do NOT rinse the Taktic off, let dry on the skin and hair. Repeat once a week for 4-6 weeks and see if that doesn't help. I have seen dogs with stubborn cases helped with this routine. Demodex (red mange) can in some cases be outgrown due to the fact that it is immune related. When the immune system fully matures, some dogs no longer have issues any longer. Hopefully this will help.
