              REMEDIES
RINGWORM/FUNGUS ----Have you ever had the heartbreak of finding ringworm on your puppies? Very hard to get rid of!! BUT--Now there is a spray and shampoo that really works wonders. It was originally formulated for horses, but is very safe for puppies and kittens. It is called Micro Tek. It is colorless and has a pleasant fragrance. It eradicates ringworm fungus on contact. Just spray the effected area a couple of times a day until the symptoms are gone. *Note: it does not mix well with some medicated shampoos and should never be combined with a flea or tick dip. Always read directions and indications before applying.

COCCIDIA ---- This one we tried for ourselves and it works. Go to the vitamin section of your local pharmacy or retail store. Purchase a bottle of ACIDOPHILUS capsules. This is the natural Pectin like in apples. When you first start feeding puppies wet food, sprinkle about half of one of these capsules over the food. It replaces the "good bacteria" needed in the digestive tract to fight coccidia or diarhea. Do this for about 7 days or until you get a good firm stool. This is all natural, therefore you can not overdose. A bottle of 100 capsules costs about $4.
     I also read as article in "Los Chihuahua" magazine that stated if you would mix one capsule with 10 ccs of milk and feed one cc to each new-born puppy, the puppies would get a better start and you would not experience "fading puppy syndrom".

        Now we found something that even works when the Acidoophilus doesn't. PLAIN VANILLA YOGURT. This home remedy is nothing short of a miracle drug. We use the "Dannon's" brand plain vanilla. Just put it into a small saucer and let them eat as much as they want. It can even be administered with a syringe by mouth when they refuse to eat on their own. I have very good luck by adding a teaspoon to the formula I feed to newborns when they are orphaned.

PARVO---

NO MILK---If your bitch has very little or no milk, you can help by feeding her yams. Yes, sweet potatoe yams right out of the can is a natural hormone. They boost milk production.
