I got a stool sample tested by a local vet and it came back negative.

jahwarrior1423

I'll be looking at his stools today.

jahwarrior1423

Is the only way to test for worms from a vet?...

jahwarrior1423

I've started to notice my 3yr old GSP is losing weight. I'm seeing more bone structure than normal. I haven't changed food or feeding amount. I am thinking it could possibly be tape worm from possibly eating a rodent (field mice) here in southern AZ. What other things could it be? I was going to fee...

jahwarrior1423

I'll try that NuStock and see how that does next time. The rash isn't nearly as bad as it was a week ago. I'm still keeping up with the Benadryl but doing it 2x a day rather than doing 3x as I was before. Then I'll go down to 1x a day until it's completely gone. I have started noting the rash on a c...

jahwarrior1423

I've been giving Benadryl and using some over the counter cleaner and ointment to help with the redness and itchiness. Hoping it clears up soon

jahwarrior1423

I have a 3yr old GSP male that has a rash on his stomach. I believe it's a type of environment reaction because we have moved from PHX, AZ to Benson, AZ. He never had the issue until now. He got it once shortly after moving here and it went away. It has now come back and is a bit worse than before. ...

I've already given the 5n1 to both dogs already. My feed store only has 9n1 and 5n1. Next time I'll look for the other and see how it can benefit the dogs. I'm just concerned if I should give another 5n1 as a booster is a few months since its been so long since I've given the 5n1 to the dogs

jahwarrior1423

If it's been 2-3 years since I've given my 2 dogs (3yr old and 7yr old) the 5n1, do I need to give a booster after giving the 5n1 or can I just wait till next year to give another?

jahwarrior1423

How would the smaller dogs handle with long hikes?...coues deer here in AZ are at high elevations and mule deer cover large areas. Our deer here aren't like what is in other parts of the country. And our elk are in rough parts of the state with high elevation.

jahwarrior1423

I guessed labs because they're used for narcotic/explosive detection which is based strictly on scent. My wife and I have been talking about getting another dog for our family and I was interested in a lab and was wanting to train him for sheds.

jahwarrior1423

Any of you handlers train their dogs or have a specific dog for shed hunting? How do you go about training a dog for shed hunting?...side question, which breed would be better to shed hunt with?...lab, GSP or other?

jahwarrior1423

Won't be going until my days off next week. Called my parents today and they said that it was worse before I got him back and that they weren't too concerned since it was going down. So Ya...I was never advised of this while he was in the care of my parents

jahwarrior1423

Ok. Good to know. Just was the only thing that changed while my GSP was in the care of my parents. I'll be taking him to the vet next week. Didn't know if it was common in GSP.

jahwarrior1423

It is soft as if there is puss in it. Aren't warts hard?...I'm thinking that it could also be food related because my parents fed my 2 dogs Pedigree because they couldn't find Diamond in their area.

jahwarrior1423

What would a person expect to pay to send a pup to get trained?...just curious. Don't want to call someone to simply ask how much and only bother them

My parents had my dogs for a few month while we packed, moved and unpacked. Picked up my dogs and my 3yr old GSP has a wart thing on his stomach. Anybody know what it could be and if I could treat it in my own?

I am having a horrible time training my 4m old German Shepard mix puppy from jumping up on people. I've tried the knee to the body when she jumps up on me (I don't knee her hard) and I've tried a spray bottle of water. Help me with other ideas...I've been battling this for a month now.

jahwarrior1423

Can I give ivermectin as my preventative for a puppy?...is it safe to use deworming pills on my pup at this age if I haven't tested for heart worm?

jahwarrior1423

She's a 4m old female lab/German Shepard mix. My goal is simple...be obedient. Maybe later when she's older and she has an interest to hunt, I'll work towards that.

jahwarrior1423

I've been looking on the internet and book store for a basic how-to book for basic obedience. Every book I see on the internet says "last book you'll ever need." Though, I look at them at the store and it isn't what I am looking for. I am just looking for a book that simply tells me how to teach bas...

jahwarrior1423

I recently acquired a 4mo old lab/German Shepard mix. Last owner was not so great and I was given the pup. What would be the ideal thing to do with first shots? Can I just start a 5n1? Should I deworm the pup? If so, how should I follow the deworm process and which brand deworm pills do you guys rec...

jahwarrior1423

Well, I called Banfield today to question my concerns about Ivermectin with my mixed dog. They said they have never heard nor believe there is a risk for collies or herding dogs in general. I actually called 2 Banfields and one of the vets wants me to print off the info I have seen and the other sai...

jahwarrior1423

Ok, final questions... I had my 4yr old mix breed pup tested for Heartworm at the Banfield Pet Vet and he came up negative. But my question is, he is a mixed breed and I would suspect he has some type of herding dog in him. Possibly german shepard, or maybe Beauceron...but How would I find out if it...

jahwarrior1423

Again, I'm sorry. Just rather be cautious before I jump on an idea.

ok, so 1 click of the paste equals .5cc?...that would be easy if your dog weighs 50lbs. How many clicks would it be if your dog weighs 60-75lbs?..is there a paste that I should buy over any others that is easy to use? I just figured the liquid would be easier to measure since I could use a syringe. ...

jahwarrior1423

Is the link I posted not the pour on type?...which syringe would be best?... I do need to get my 4yr old tested for heartworm before hand...

But wouldnt a higher protein feed help with muscle gain?...or am I over thinking?...if taking your dogs with you while running/hiking, or any type of exercise, wouldnt you want a higher protein feed?

jahwarrior1423

He has already been neutered. Wish I would have known before...he was neutered at 6-7 months

jahwarrior1423

do any of you guys mix diamond chicken with diamond EA or HE?...was thinking about mixing my dogs food in hopes of getting a slightly higher protein but not raising it to much where they gain to much weight. Or is this a dumb idea?

The Banner puppy plan is a year program. Its a monthly charge for a whole year and it offers free vet visits, 10% off medications, free spay/neuter, free ear swap, free heart worm test, etc. The puppy plan is through PetsMart...it made it easier on my wallet because I didnt need to pay $$$ upfront f...

jahwarrior1423

Im not quite understanding what you guys mean by its not good to worm every month. I put my dog on the Banner Puppy plan because it made the cost of fixing him much cheaper and I was able to pay monthly rather than upfront...which made it easier on the wallet. But part of the puppy plan was a monthl...

Thanks for your replies... I do a lot of other hunting (other than birds) and get myself physically fit before every hunting season.

My 4yr old mutt has been having discharged in his eye for the past several days. We live in a dusty environment and am thinking it could be one of the causes...he has slight redness and the discharge is coming heavily from behind the eye. The discharge looks to be clear, and occasionally a cloudy wh...

jahwarrior1423

Thanks. The vet asked if my pups swim alot but they only see water 1-2x a year. And I live in PHX, AZ so our climate is very dry through out the year as well. The GrainFree food that I switched to is $1 more a bag so I am hoping this could solve the issue but I am going to stay on a regular routine ...

I picked up my puppy on Jan 1st and brought him home. Had some eating issues so I got him on DWorm pills.

I opened the box and read the instructions and warnings...it states that it is safe for dogs 12wks and older. Would I still be alright if I use the recommended dosage for his weight even though he is only 8wks?
