I raced around ibadan was lucky to get a chemist...I ingected him him 0.2mls every 30mins as instructed by the vet on phone...i got lucky...the rest of the night was horror he just lay there like he was dead..his breaths was so low his body wasn't making any up nd down breathing movement...but in the morning..he was active again...ive never seen my self dat happy....

Lovely. Sometimes the vets just can't help. U just gotta help urself. Thank God he's safe now.

An experience we all should learn from.

We can't just be waiting on the vet always.

Have ds first-aid medications at home.

Lost my dog same way. I fumigated the house and compound with Sniper. It was a great loss as we mourned him.

Actually i disagree with you. The vet saved this Lhasa's life by prescribing atropine- which in is an antidote to poisonous substances and chemicals, in case you did not know.

The problem with most dog owners in Nigeria is that they buy dog products without consulting their vets. That's not advisable and it isn't practiced in civilized societies.

As a responsible dog owner you should always ask for your vet's input before buying or changing to a new product. Dogs like humans have allergies depending on their idiosyncrasies, a vet that has been handling your dogs for a while should/would be familiar with each dog's peculiarity and might just be able to help you make an informed decision thereby saving your pet's life.
So what might be fine for Duke, might be injurious to Duchess!

Drgbaks, ure a vet. So I can understand.

Personally, I don't use vets anymore. Cos most of them aren't reliable.

Now, technically speaking, would you advice your client to inject a dog himself?

My personal opinion tho...plus I respect u as a vet on nl.

Let's just leave it at that.

Sorry about the loss of your dog sir. Sniper is a very toxic insecticide potent enough to kill humans let alone dogs. It is advised to never leave dogs in a vicinity where Sniper has been applied. Dogs die minutes to exposure to Sniper almost before any intervention can be made by a vet.

So many other insecticides are this potent and that is why a good vet would advise you to make sure your pets are away from the fumigated compound for at least 24hours after fumigation.

Ticks can be very terrible when it comes to a dogs health cos they can rapidly multiply exponentially and become a big time problem. Personally i use azinthol together with dog shampoo cos the problem is most lf these dog shampoo claim their product helps to prevent ticks nd d likes but you still end up seeing it on them and it can be an eye sore. Azinthol can be slow to take effect but it does work and it has no side effect even when used on a puppy as young as 10wks as long as its dully diluted.
To end it all d most important is keepin ones environment as clean as possible cos hygiene is important to dogs to,and am open to other effective tick repellants if one comes up. My pack below*sheba(gsd-12months),rex(male rott-7months),tessy(female rott(3 nd half months)

Magpies:
secondly,i'd prefer d azinthol wich in mre regards iz mre suitable 4 dogs nd nt harmful 2 'em,u cn use it wif a dog shampoo.
lastly,u cn gt any tick killer at an reputable petstore nearby or simply order 4 it online.[hapi new year]

Magpies:
nt at all,u cn use dettol 2 disinfect its bath!ng water be4 bath!ng it,nd if u aint comfortable or noticd it kuming in direct contact wif d substance u cn gv it milk or palm oil 2 be at a safer side.

Magpies:
nd plz be fast bout it be4 u hav tick fever 2 deal wif wich is veri deadly,nd i wuld say u vacate ur dog 4rm whr shes living buh be4 u du make sure u kil everi single tick on her body nd mayb remuve her into ur auze using any prescribe tick killer.
