ok 1 its a dog i saved not a child, i don't think the dog would care how i make the chicken, heck it might be good to have some greases and fat right now. my grandmother used to give her dogs bacon grease in their food and they were licking their chops for hours.thanks though for the advicebernsm said:
yea i was thinking that too. what do the worms look like?and can i use the over the counter brands? and the dogs doing fine laying here next to me as i type chewing on a smoked pigs ear, sorry christy.still having a hard time with getting the cat aquainted with out new guest, cat willing, dog not.happyappygirl said:Anybody know how doggo is doing? Hope he's still there.
After a week or two of good food, be sure to get some worm meds. Doggo prolly has a few of them in there, and that will thwart efforts to get some good old fashioned groceries in it.
so thats why she's looking at me that way thanks. i guess i just miss the jerky.crabcake said:umm, jack ... the pig ears are for the dog to chew on; not you.

yep, you can go to southern states and get a decent dog wormer. they're pretty gentle and it's hard to overdose them on those, and they usually kill roundworms. if he had fleas in the summer he will need something for killing tapeworms (these kinds you can see evidence of in the poo or on the butt), but if he has hooks or whips (which you CAN'T see), you'll need some panacur (anthelecide - sp?) you can use the horse paste on dogs, but you only give a SMALL amount, according to their weight, and give it for 3 days in a row (it's ikky tasting), wait 2 weeks and do it again. That stuff is EXPENSIVE from the vet but it will kill all sort of wigglies in there.The Jackoholic said:

BUT.....if you get him the monthly heart worm meds from the vet, this will take care of them all except hooks and whips. BTW heart worm meds can be given BI-monthly and still be efficient. A cardiologist told me that. It kills the difilaria, and that can be done every other month and still be safe since the difilaria lifestage is a month or six weeks.
well christy you were right. 249 was the vet bill. shots for the tapeworm( gone in 2 days),heartworm meds tests, i got her shots done not sure if she ever had them,and antibiotics for lymes,and exam.Christy said:Don't be bringing that dog until you've wormed her!
Have you taken her to a vet yet? Is she fixed? I think I feel a hefty vet bill coming on.
Glad to hear she is improving!
