Some other health issues
Ann Chvilicek
With the pups getting
shots ( 2 before you received) they are being protected for the most common
health risks we have in our dogs. They will need at least one more, (your vet
may suggest 2) It is a known fact that these shots break down the immune system
as they are "taking hold". During this time other problems may show up. Such as
Puppy dermatitis (mange). Full details on
mange under health problems. I have
fond and heard of a lot of vets go the extreme with treatment. Dips can damage
your Boston and even kill. This should be a last resort. Please try this
treatment first. When found it most generally is a small bare spot around the
eyes or front legs. Have the vet confirm that this is the problem. Ask for
Nolvasan Scrub (soap they use for washing hands) Wash the dog completely leaving
on for 5 -10 minutes. Then wash the spot and surrounding area at least every
other day till you see hair starting to grow. Another way is to use tree tea oil
on the area (health food store) or you can get Googwinol Ointment (vet
supplied). Just please do not dip the dog until you have at least tried the
other ideas. Dips are just to strong.
