we charge $50, buts that because we send them all in to the state lab. we used to do the in house test, but frankly i have so few requests for canine brucellosis tests that the in house tests would expire before i could get even close to using them up. For a while you couldnt get the in house test, ...

This morning they all got Drontal Plus.

Saturday the two GSP are going to rattlesnake avoidance.

Better give them something for fleas or the tapes will be back.

Not saying markj is a wolf. Geez, I am not a wolf, nor do I belive I can whip the world. I said I would go after the guy in that situation. Never said I was the baddest guy around. We do training now for active shooter, this training is go for the shooter and stop his actions. Its what will happen ...

another thing to keep in mind is that generally the more of something you buy, the less you have to pay for it per unit. we quit selling ear tags at the vet clinic because Farm and Home could sell them cheaper than we could buy them. I wouls imagine the same thing goes for dog food inputs as well.

This is NOT a good thing, in my opinion. if the dog was worth $10,000, then that's what the owner should have been awarded. Then the shooter should be charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and possibly reckless endangerment. But to give the owner that much money for the dog sets a terrible pr...

Definitely interesting. Thanks for posting that!

we have many clients that have seen benefit from a product called Steadfast. Almost everybody i sell it to comes back for more.

Last year Bayer came out with a new flea collar called Seresto for fleas and ticks. Living in the southeast, we have very heavy parasite burdens( got bit by a mosquito last week), and flea populations never seem to go away. With this new product, I have heard nothing but great things about them fro...

its still frontline. I still have some clients that say the frontline is working for them, so i tell them to keep using it. But I have ALOT more that say it isnt, and have switched to comfortis or trifexis and are very happy.

dog dr

When we moved to our house 25 years ago it had fleas and needless to say so did our dogs after about 10 minutes in here. We spent a fortune and a lot of time on sprays, flea collars, bombs, powders, and all sorts of stuff because I thought the sentinel our vet recommended was too expensive. Finally...

dog dr

what did you find out?

dog dr

if your only treating 1 animal out of 3, you might as well not treat any of them. And, Frontline has been around long enough that fleas are starting to show some resistance, imo.

dog dr

Its Saturday... dont jackleg around and wait to call your vet tomorrow when he wants to go to church, hang out with his kids, watch the big game, or all 3. Call him (or her) this morning. Please.

dog dr

in Kentucky you definitely need something for heartworm prevention.

Ive seen one of those! A client of mine had one a couple years ago. Cool lookin dog, really. Died of kidney failure, I believe.

dog dr

If a certain breed has a problem, then crossing it with another will usually help to reduce or eliminate that problem. Dilution, so to speak. Im not sure what to make of most of the posts on this thread. Alot of dog breeds have come about from cross-breeding other already established breeds of dogs,...

Gorgeous pictures, every one of them! I challenge anyone to look at pictures like that and tell me theres not a God.

just a couple quick things i found. Takes a little reading, but the gist is organic isnt as organic as you might think.

changing a grain so we can reduce the amount of chemicals we have to use in our environment, increase yields, and reduce the amount of fuel we use to produce a crop is stupid. Wonder if you should re think this. Ezzy Corn that contains a pesticide (Bacillis Thuringensis) is exactly what I want to e...

I've always been happy with my sport dogs. Great customer service IMO.

dog dr

take him out and let him run where there isnt a lot of dog traffic, and you should be fine. If he has 2-3 shots in him now, then i would say his immunity is good. no way to say that definitively of course, but you cant keepem in a bubble.

dog dr

if your dog is current on rabies vaccine you have nothing to worry about. rabies virus is shed in the saliva of an infected animal, and then the virus needs to come into contact with a mucous membrane or open wound, sore, etc.

dog dr

don't let up because you are seeing improvement. most likely she will eventually try and challenge you again. read big jakes post again, good advice there, IMHO.

dog dr

The biggest things i look at as far as bloodwork is concerned is the liver and kidney function. these are important for processing the anesthesia. Also the red blood cell count and the platelet count, which tell you if their is a bleeding risk, and the white blood cell count that tells you if there ...

dog dr

with a 9 yr old i would recommend the bloodwork, but its totally your call. I have spayed plenty of old dogs that did just fine, no troubles, but you never know. I guess the next question i have, is the "low cost spay neuter clinic" available for emergencies, or does your regular vet get to climb ou...

dog dr

As always, Mr. Gubernat hit the nail on the head. Excellent post!

dog dr

It amazes me that some vets actually argue with people on this. I MAKE the owner show me EXACTLY where they want the tails cut, that way they cant complain about the end product.

dog dr

I would wait till at least a year. Sex hormones are responsible for closing the growth plates in the bones. If the sex hormones are removed (via castration or spay), the growth plates don't close when they should and the bones keep growing for a time. Theory is the longer bones change some of the fo...

seems like a small dose on the metronidazole. i didnt even know they made 5 mg tablets.

dog dr

Metronidazole won't treat coccidia. That's what the Albon is for. Panacur should get the giardia, so you could drop the metronidazole, but talk to your vet first. Basically your vet is double treating the giardia. Giardia can be tough to get rid of, and your dealing with a pup that has another intes...

Yes I've had the exact same problem. I sent a message to the site manager, don't know if it went thru or not.

Apparently from what I've read , all dogs have mites. Their immune system keeps it under control .When the immune system is weakened , the mites take over.

I'm not a vet ; my dog looked like that once. Scrapings showed nothing . My vet prescribed Advantage 55 Multi for 6 months and problem disappeared.

dog dr

In human babies extra fat is supposed to be good for brain development, or so ive been told. cant say whether its the same for dogs or not, but it makes sense to me. Fat is key component of the nervous system.
