Vickie, Great of you to be involved with this all. I know you most assuredly have your hands full just at the moment!(BTW...Hope all is well with Dee. PM or e-mail me if needed.) If I can be of help in anyway, let me know. I will be doing some breeding this year. I don't need pups, but have females ...

The ivermectin will do the job as mentioned above, but if you do not know the dogs heartworm status you can also dip them in a permethrin dip weekly for 3-4 weeks. And clean/replace all bedding etc as also previously mentioned.

Couple thoughts...one it will add a lot of fat calories...two it is going to be high in protein...vitamin, mineral content may be questionable though. I would also worry about stability buying it in such large amounts. I can't see where it could do any harm using it as a supplement, and would probab...

Canine infectious tracheobronchitis is generally treated with one of a number of different antibiotics, an anti-inflammatory like prednisone, and a cough suppressant. Isolation is also very important as this is highly contagious.

May be genetic, but can also occur from infection/inflammation in the eyes early on. Best to have them replaced rather than removed. The gland of the third eyelid produces a portion of the tears and also acts as part of the immune system for the eye.

Randy,
I have 7 or 8 urns of friends long gone on my bookshelf. It is a personal decision with no right or wrong answer.
Doc S

Worked last weekend, but got out after pats on Monday for a bit. Saw some pretty good hare sign in the swamps, so I'd say "Yes."

Hmmm...hard to say without seeing them and maybe more importantly hearing them! Air really dry in the house? How are their teeth? Bad teeth can cause a maxillary sinusitis. Have you, or maybe you should have them seen?
Doc S

Does for sure sound like you need to get some surgery somewhere. Those are bad cases.
Doc S

Any change in bedding? Do you use lime in your kennels? Run in areas with a lot of dusty weeds? If many of them are doing it, it may not be sneezing and they may have picked up kennel cough somehow(neighborhood dog, stray, etc).

Fenbendazole will take care of hookworms, whipworms, roundworms, and about half the various species of tapeworms. Many folks use ivermectin oral monthly at 0.1ml per 11# bodyweight for heartworm prevention.
Doc S

Might be a Staphylococcus infection. If it is that ugly, you might wish to have it examined by your veterinarian.
Doc S

Best advice I can give would be to have him seen by a veterinarian ASAP!
