You are several weeks from it healing, and uncovered even longer. I had two dogs break off toe nails last summer. Get the bleeding stopped: put super glue on it, then a dog boot, then duct tape. Make sure you get skin when you go over the dog boot. You will probably have to redue this several times....

Give Chuck a call at Gundog Express. I've used him a couple of times and have been very happy. He is from North Dakota and I know he is leaving Monday morning to make a run south. He's hauling a dog for me from SD to TX. Here's a link http://www.gundogexpress.com/Delivery.html Tom Thanks for the in...

Y'all need to start having fun with these people. Start asking for astronomical amounts of money. Offer shipping for $2000. Stuff like that.

I had it happen to me last year. It is called relay call, it is for deaf people.

Glad everyone is ok. One of the guys I hunt on in South Dakota always talks about the warm springs coming up and thawing out the ice. Tells a story about an ice fishing rodeo where they were driving across the lake with there trucks, and someone on foot fell threw.

That is just South Dakota wild pheasants for you. Private ground is the same way. In 3 years of hunting out there I can think of very few roosters shot over a point. It is not pointing dog country I dont care what anyone has to say. And yes you will walk your "bleep" off to get the birds.

I checked out the website the other day to see about ordering some, the website is not complete yet. I am headed to Nashville next week and am going to stop a few places in Kentucky to try and find some. If nothing else the bottle.

North central South Dakota (Webster - Aberdeen area) is probably the densest area of walkin areas and there are a lot of birds as well. You can get the online atlas at SDGF&P or pick up the hard copy at most gas stations when you get here. It's a priceless tool to have at your disposal. The only dr...

I agree with the above!! You get a chance to shoot anything with that 44mag yet?

Birddog3412

Take her. Get her used to the routine. Riding in a kennel, hearing shots, other dogs, etc. Take her out just you and the pup, no one else for an hour or so per day. If she points a bird, kill it. If she doesn't point, but chases and gets excited, don't scold the pup, encourage her. Get that hunting...

Birddog1968 Yes Diamond extreme athlete 32/25. For the price difference I just wasnt getting my moneys worth. I was not meaning it was a bad food. Hollywood, $25 for a 50# bag of diamond extreme athlete is great, i was paying.....i would have to look at my records but it was around $31 for a 38# bag...

I have had luck with refurbished things but for $599 at gundogsupply.com you could buy a brand new one.

Is it an abortion shot, or is it a shot that stops ovulation? either way I sont think she will stick.

I have a browning silver in 12 ga and love it. It has a reciever similar to the old A5 (which is what I learned to shoot with) only not as dramatic. I have had it 4 years, it has went to South Dakota the last 3 with me. It fits me good, shoots great. If I had it to do over I would have boughten one ...

If she just started bleeding the end of last week (assuming you new 100% that was the first day) then I would have went ahead and hunted her unless she was just acting goofy. The first day of bleeding is day 1. All dogs are different, but I have seen them stand from day 8 through day 17. Have been t...

I like to lead them on. When they send the "company check," I tell them that I send the rest of the money via FedEx overnight to the address they provided instead of depositing it in a Wester Union account. It takes about an hour for them to call be back crying that I need to get the money back fro...

Birddog3412

There is nothing you can do. Have had similar things, they want me to foward money to shipper, they use relay call. The FBI has a website you can report this stuff to, but it is a joke. And because it is outside the USA they cant do crap anyway. I saw a special on these type of operations. They have...

30 - 40 degrees is good weather, most people will still be sweating after a good walk. Put some handwarmers in your gloves, you will be cold at first but comfortable after you get moving. If you have never been you are in for an experience. If the cattails look to thick or to tall, then that is wher...

Thanks for the feedback....I will pick up some ratcheting straps to attach the crate. And I'm definitely looking at the Mud River covers...It is my understanding that they make the crate significantly warmer inside, right? Eric Yes they do. Going down the road they are ok, but if you are bedding yo...

You could give 1/10cc of 1% ivermectin, orally, and that will be way plenty to control HW's. If you really want to dial it in: 0.5 ml of ivomec cattle wormer (1%) 49.5 ml of propylene glycol RESULTING CONCENTRATION: 100 mcg per ml DOSAGE FORMULA: Dog's weight X 2, then divide by 100 = # of cc to gi...

I have had to put 3 dogs through the treatment for Heartworms that were rescues and positive. A Heartworm (Adult) only has a certain life span. So when using Ivermectin it is killing off the eggs/larva that is laid by the adults (if they are present) or if a bug bites the dog and puts eggs/larva in...

PMI Red Flannel, Prime forumula. I want a cost effective feed that is easily obtainable, I live in a rural area that limits my choices. Same here. Price has went up a little, it was $20 when I started feeding it and now it is $25.(but I like getting the free bag of feed) My dogs do good on it, but ...

I had a guy freak out one time because I had shotgun shells on my dashboard in the hot Sun. But I've always had shells loose rolling around in my truck year round (flimsy cardboard boxes :( ).

Birddog3412

kninebirddog, I understand what you are saying now. When you said it would kill heartworms, I took it like you meant that if I took a dog to the vet and it was positive for heartworms (adult) then all you have to do was give it some ivermectin and the dog would be fine.

Birddog3412

kninebirddog wrote:I do not see where it says Kills Heartworm as that is the prime reason for giving Ivermectin

Do a yahoo search, it is a heartworm preventative just like Ivermectin, I must have missed it when I copied and pasted.

I am no vet, but I do not think Ivermectin "kills" heartworms, it prevents.

Gentlemen, I do not use Ivormec any more, I have been using an extrernal product called Advocate for many years now. I believe its better for my dogs, and it works very very well on just about every kind of paracite known to man. I also use Adams spray. RGD/Dave I am sure it works fine but here is ...

Thanks for all the replys. I bought some of the cheap pedigree pouches, you know chicken and gravy and such. Anyway I have been mixing in with 2 cups of her normal feed and she has eaten every drop for the last 4 evenings. So maybe she just doesnt like the feed (Red Flannel Prime).

Babe...it stands out firm IMO

I fed Diamond Natural Exteme Athlete about 2 years ago for a while. I could not get weight on my dogs with it.

Birddog3412

Keep her away from males if you do not want her bred. On average days 11 to 13 are the breeding days. But it is different for all dogs. I have a female now that is on day 16 and still standing for my male.

Birddog3412

How much dry food is she actually eating? There have many posts about 'thin' dogs and I can only remember one out of the ones with photos that was actually thin. She is eating about 1 1/2 cup a day. Another female I have that is right at 1 year is downing 2 cups and looks good. I thawed out some gr...

I have an 18 month old pointer that I raised from a puppy. For the last 3 or 4 months she doesnt seem to be hungry (ever since she went through a false preagnacy).

Heartguard is very safe. If it was me, and know what I know now, I'd probably do Heartguard till the pup was up in the 50 lb range. When they're littler fellers measuring and guaranteeing delivery of the teeny doses is more trouble than I want to take. I understand your reasoning for the dosage. Wh...

Al, Happy Easter by the way, my post was in response to someone asking if Panacur can be used as a preventative. Using any class of these for preventive reasons IMO is just not smart. I believe, but don't quote me, some of these have been linked to liver cancer in mice when used on a regular basis....

What is the reason you can only have one dog?

Birddog3412

I doubt anything on that list like yogurt cultures, common, natural digestive enzymes, beets, pumpkin seeds, pineapple, papaya & carrots are remotely toxic to a dog and I am pretty comfortable we don't need a study on that. If Nestle, Mars & P&G can figure out how to make a 25% return on investment...

Good luck with your pups. I have had a couple pups from Ronnie, they are hard hunters.

Why is it when you give Panacur (fenbendazole) to a horse you give it all at one time, but when you give to a dog it is over a period of 3 days?

Birddog3412

Dogs can act really funny before (and while) in heat. One of my females was acting like a boot huger the first day we were in South Dakota this year, I new she was within a week or so of coming in but took her anyway, she started bleeding 2 days later.

In the summer, I try to work my dogs in the morning, It is usually the coolest part of the day. In the 70 degree range (is it really that hot in the morning and evening this time of year there) just as long as she has plenty of water she should be fine.
