Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Fri Feb 1, '13 7:07pm PST  Vectra 3D stopped working to repel/kill ticks after about a week. I never saw any fleas on Trixie, but she is long haired and so it's hard to tell unless more than a few fleas are running around. I can say though, that we kept finding engorged ticks on her with the Vectra 3D, even when we bumped up to the higher dosage box the next month. We applied the product properly, and she was not bathed and did not go swimming. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Fri Aug 31, '12 6:58am PST  Trixie is a 52 pound dog. We tried Vectra 3D for her size range. It worked great for about a week (no ticks, no itchies), then she started getting itchy again, and we'd find several new ticks attached to her. We applied the product down the entire back as directed, and Trix did not go swimming or get a bath. The following month, after talking to our vet, we tried the next size up of Vectra 3D, for 56 - 95 pound dogs. Exactly nine days after application, Trix was itchy again, so I checked her over carefully, and found a slightly engorged tick attached to her chest. This was after NINE days (as marked on my calendar), and following the manufacturer's instructions exactly. I will not be using this product again. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > What seafoods should I stay away from?

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Sun Aug 12, '12 9:29pm PST  I would not feed wild salmon from the Pacific. They can carry an internal parasite that is deadly to dogs. Freezing kills the parasite, but there is debate about exactly how cold your freezer needs to be, and for how long the salmon needs to be frozen. Personally, I wouldn't chance feeding raw salmon. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > ughhh Fleas and Ticks what to do?

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Fri May 25, '12 6:49am PST  A blend of olive oil and neem seed oil massaged into the skin will give protection for 4 days, before needing reapplication. One day I picked 5 ticks off from around Trix's ears and head. I made this blend up at home, massaged a small amount on her, and then counted the days until she got another tick. So now I know I have to use the blend every fourth day. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > WHY IS MY DOG EMACIATED??

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Tue May 8, '12 6:41am PST  Can your vet do a phone consult with one of the teaching hospitals across the country? They will probably be more familiar with unusual conditions and could suggest appropriate tests. Have you looked here? http://www.vet.cornell.edu/consultant/consult.asp my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Tue Mar 27, '12 9:40pm PST  Run from this class, and find a positive trainer. This does not sound like a safe environment. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Liver Disease Questions

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Tue Mar 27, '12 9:37pm PST  If your dog really has a UTI, she is going to need more than 3 days worth of antibiotics. If you stop the antibiotics too soon, the bacterial infection will return because it hasn't been completely knocked out. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Vaccine mistake at vet in 3 pound puppy??? Help!

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Fri Mar 16, '12 2:02pm PST  I am not sure exactly what you are asking. Are you wondering if your dog received the same vaccine twice? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Dog with a medical "mystery" ... any thoughts?

Trixie Lookin' Pretty     Barked: Wed Feb 22, '12 9:56pm PST  I take it you've already gone the route of a home-made elimination diet with a novel protein? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
