ack-ack Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I worry about bringing it home to the mutts. The urbans in Woolwich have hardly a hair on them and they like to frequent our store warehouse due to all the chuffing feral pidge up in the rafters.

four-wheel-drive Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) When we got a Jack Russell pup must be twenty years ago the pore thing was full of worms and had scabies the first thing we did was to take her to the vets and got some worming tabs which resulted in she sicked up like a load of spaghetti all over the arm of the chair we then put her outside and the same came out of the other end but at least that was the last of the worms. next we had to bath here in special shampoo every day for a few days then it was down to the chemist and get some stuff to get rid of the bloody things (not worms Scabies) on us more rubbing on of stuff and hot baths worth it in the end she turned out to be a very special dog to me.

Amazed Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 We have a long haired alsation and she cought fox mange from the grooming place long story and 300 pound in vet bills later we were told we could catch it from her so wash everything she has been in contact with. now she has to have anti histamine tablets when it's summer or it flares back up. The grooming place is shut now wouldn't be going back anyway. ! Lucky that non of the other dogs or cats got it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDFrain Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 if you have it you will know about it, it sounds a terrible dirty thing but is very very common at the moment with quite a few GP's treating cases of it. tell tale signs are very itchy between fingers with small spot/blister marks sometimes with small lines coming away from these, this is from were the mites have entered into the skin. treatment is applying cream for 8 hours repeating after a week if needed. recomended that the whole household should be treat. JDF by the way i have recently had it hahahaahah not nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
