Cheaper way to kill fleas on your dogs
Comments (89)I'm a little confused on dosage, I have read the forum and am confused on this dosages are they straight out of the bottle or diluted, I have 33 lb dog that have been using Advantage at 9%,. I've ordered the Imidacloprid from the link Larry listed which is 21.4%. I got the dosage recommendations for Advantage, which is 9.1%, and I want to make sure I am converting the dosage right. Does this look right? 1 cc or ml per 5 pounds Recommended Usage at 9.1% concentration should be around: 0.23ml for kitten under 5lbs/ = 0.1ml of 21.4% 0.4ml for cats 5-9lbs/ = 0.17ml of 21.4% 0.8ml for cats 9lbs++/ = 0.33ml of 21.4% 0.4ml for dogs under 10lbs/ = 0.17ml of 21.4% 1.0ml for dogs 11-20lbs/ = 0.42ml of 21.4% 2.5ml for dogs 21-55lbs/ = 0.04ml of 21.4% 4.0ml for dogs 55lbs++/ = 1.67ml of 21.4% I have a bottle of imidacloprid 27.5 oz at 21.4%. Mix 0.7 oz of imidacloprid 21.4% to 1 oz of water to get approx 2oz of 9% concentrate. For 4 oz of concentrate double the amounts. According to Nancy you need 2.5ml of the 9% concentrate for dogs 21-55lbs. 1ml = 1cc if you prefer. Dose is 0.05ml/pound. Multiply 0.05 times your pet’s weight for the dose (Used in lower doses with same effect) Cats up to 9 pounds – 0.4ml Cats 10+ pounds – 0.8ml Dogs 11-20 pounds – 1.0ml Dogs 21-30 pounds – 1.2ml Dogs 31-40 pounds – 1.6ml Dogs 41-50 pounds – 2.0ml Dogs 51-60 pounds – 2.4ml Dogs 61-70 pounds – 2.8ml Dogs 71-80 pounds – 3.2ml Thanks I don't if this will get to my email or just listed here, (billmcvoy@yahoo.com)...See MoreIvermectin .05% oral solution ....for dogs/cats
Comments (9)This stuff comes with dosages for cats and dogs ... Also cats do get heartworms too so it is used for heartworm prevention in cats as well as dogs ... I do not give this to my cats but i could.... People do use it like what ? As an injection ? Yes thats the original intent of ivomec ... My dad knows how to get the dose right and i always did it under his supervision .... We only did it for our larger animals .....bought the stuff from the vet for the little dogs ..... Now i use the .05 % orally for my dogs ...have for years and my dogs are fine .... Once again im not using ivomec 1% solution im using a .05% ivermectin solution so dosage is easier to figure even for smaller dogs and cats....i would never give my pet something i thought was unsafe...See MoreDog problems!

Comments (9)Try to make note of when and where it happens. Time of day, circumstances, physical properties of the space where they blow up, anything can be helpful to your trainer. With my Casey, he initially went after Bina mostly in tight spaces. Later, he was usually guarding the room and did not want her to enter the family room or the space around me. Once you figure it out, you can watch for it and distract the dog before it happens. We used to yell with lots of Whoop! Whoop! loud noises to startle Casey out of his fixated trance, then get his attention on us, not Bina. But Casey had a brain tumor and we were fighting against whatever damage it was doing to his brain. Your situation may be completely different, so that is why you need an expert to help you figure out what is happening. We finally decided not to leave any chew toys out at all, since Casey could decide to guard them at any time, for instance. Things changed over the course of the three years he had his tumor. Toward the end, he could not follow his training and control his impulses. He was all ID, a psychologist would say. If he wanted to know what was on the counter, he jumped up and looked. If he wanted to eat something on a counter, he jumped up and took it. We had gates everywhere and had to be perfect about using them and leaving things in his reach. I have known others who had two dogs who were incompatible and could not be together. They managed the gates in their home to keep the dogs apart. They also arranged their lives to spend time in the spaces of both dogs, so neither was neglected. It can be done, but it is difficult! First, save your money, and find that trainer to come to your house and work with the dogs and figure out what the problem is....See MoreCalcium deposit in dogs?
Comments (12)Unfortunately I have worst case experience with Dachshund back and neck disc disease - my 2 special guys were two of the worst cases seen by the dog neuro surgeon. Steroids are a temporary measure - especially in the case of my dogs who fully paralyzed. The first Wonder Wiener was a pioneer in neck/back surgery - both performed at same time - but prior to that was hospitalized 3 times for 2 week periods as paralysis set in and given steroids. As feeling returned he was moved to increasingly smaller cages to restrict his movement. When his neck calcified surgery was only resort and then his back went as on call neuro was on in his way to operate so full body surgery - only did the procedure because of my guy's incredible will to live. My guy was 3 at the time - he lived to be 11 and walked again - Stage I disc disease. Jump forward from 1988 to 2004 - this time my 6 year old guy presented with absolutely none of the symptoms that I knew to look for - but when my husband walked down 4 steps carrying steak my pup didn't follow. Although we tried to curtail stair climbing etc. he did occasionally get away with it. I instantly examined him but there was no indication of pain. Called vet - I had just enough time to get there before they closed - vet examined him and also did not see any of the typical signs, but then Dachshunds are stoical. She was very concerned as we both had lived through this with our first Dachshund. She decided to take X-Rays. As she was doing so, he started to paralyze. She called the Toronto Emergency Neuro, but they require a 24 hour work-up and based on his symptoms and quick paralysis, Toronto neuro said we had better get him to Geulph Vet Hospital fast for consultation and no doubt immediate surgery with Neuro. It was a 3 hour drive with a paralyzing Dachshund - in the dark. Horrible. Neuro was wonderful - had done same surgery on his 2 dogs. Turned out that this little guy had Stage II disc disease which in a way is like ALS - nuclear fluid leaks on to the spinal cord causing spinal cord death to the extent that neither steroids or surgery will repair that damage. He was in surgery several hours and when he came home had to use a sling. After 8 weeks he had regained 70% use of his hind legs - which was disappointing to neuro but not unexpected due to Stage II disease. The neuro warned me that my guy would have a relapse and that a second surgery would not be successful so to enjoy the time that we had left. It was exactly 10 months to the day of his surgery when he started to paralyze - this time with extreme pressure on spinal cord nerves so I had to get him to our vet fast so as to be able to carry him without extreme pain. It was very hard trying to be upbeat and not scare him - although he was scared enough. Any Dachshund who has been through this recognizes the symptoms and what is going to happen. Although this time my guy thought he was going to be "fixed". Sure we could have operated and even if he survived he would have been totally paralyzed for life - and at 7 years and 2 weeks of age, not a chance I would do this to my little/big guy whose main joy in life was protecting his Mommy. No crying, nothing - just trying to be brave for him. I just can't understand why your DD's vet has not referred her Dachshund to a neuro - and very fast. Not every Dachshund has disc disease to the extent my guys did - actually we have had as many as 4 Dachshunds at one time, but only 2 to suffer were my soul mates - and the true Alphas. Some Dachshunds suffer calcification in only a couple of discs and surgery for that to me would seem minor. Some Dachshunds have many calcified discs yet never suffer from an event. But once they do, you can pretty much count on it happening again - and getting worse each time. We now have an American Eskimo - I just couldn't put myself or another Dachshund through the pain and anguish again - waiting for that little turn of the back and cry of pain. I know that German breeders are trying to breed Dachshunds with shorter backs - both my guys were gorgeous and long - and while it was hard to keep their weight at 10 lbs. (little gourmets) I somehow managed it. I really hope that your DD's pup gets help very soon. I really miss having a Dachshund - my Eskie actually gets worried when we meet up with Dachshunds - he senses the bond....See Morejennieh51
