Serafina serafinaballerina.blogspot.com and Doreen httphave been in foster care with Illinois Birddog Rescue-illinoisbirddogrescue.org for about 2 years now. They were rescued off of a mountain in Arkansas where they had been living in squalor. When they first came in they were both in need of major vetting and TLC from their years of neglect, poor living conditions and over breeding. They didn’t know what love was- but now they do!! Serafina is the most animated of the pair and has a ton of personality. Doreen will always be quiet and laid back in the home; she certainly deserves to feel safe after all she went through before she came into rescue. Gilligan http was rescued from a shelter in Southern Illinois. He had suffered a lot of neglect and malnutrition and we weren’t sure if he was going to make it. Not only was he loaded with intestinal parasites, but he also had a severe case of heartworm disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and probably also survived Parvo. Gilli definitely showed some brain damage from all he went through- but now he is healthy and is sweet as they come. Follow up chiropractic appointments have helped with his brain function and as he is food motivated, he should be a fun dog to train for someone who can overlook his handicap.
Apparently my cat had become a victim of a parasitic fly larvae called a wolf that commonly targets squirrels and other small mammals, but not normally in their eyes.. Well they most definitely do now.. Hahah enjoy Video Rating: 4 / 5
Question by Cherry: working in a kennel, how can i stop myself catching ringworm from the animals?
I work weekends at a dog/cat boarding kennel, which means i am constantly in contact with a circulating bunch of ALOT of dogs & cats.
I am very paranoid, almost obsessive-compulsive, when it comes to contagious things such as ringworm & mange & other hideous little bugs that can be passed to humans…& there are a number of animals at the kennel that have hairless patches on their skin & other nasty looking little skin disorders [my boss just calls it "dermatitis" which could be what the owners have told them it is, & some dogs have medications for dermatological disorders....]
I HATE IT! I mean, I wash my hands alot while I am working there, but is there any other way that I can reduce my chances of getting ringworm from these animals [cats can even carry it without showing symptoms]. I am freaked out…it makes me itchy just thinking about it! it is not practical to wear gloves while working there.
Best answer:
Answer by LoveMyDogs Wear latex gloves and long sleeve shirts and pants to reduce your risk of exposure. It may not be practical but either is getting sick. lol
Question by luv_bug0429: Just got back from vet, how long after de-worming and fluids do dogs gums go back to pink?
My fiance found a puppy today on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. It is a boxer pup and is so skinny. He took him to the vet earlier and he had bloodwork and everything was fine. He got a worm treatment for hookworm and is getting plenty of fluids now. He is eating everytime we feed him too. How long until his gums go back to a healthy pink color? They are still very white.
Best answer:
Answer by Kiki B you can give him liquid baby vitamins with IRON, 1/2 dropper, no more than that, once a day to boost his red cell count up.
Helps especially with victims of fleas or heavy worm infestations. takes about a week…
