Can I use Nutri-drench for sheep for my dog?

[journey11]

If they're in the house, we've not been getting flea bites on us. I was really surprised. I guess they were too busy trying to kill my old dog.

That's one good thing about the Rx flea meds, if you don't have them too bad, the fleas in the carpet will gravitate to the dog, bite and die. They say it helps to vacuum a lot too, reduce their numbers. We used fipronil for many years and it just up and quit working. I wonder if they changed the formulation or if the fleas developed resistance.

We will go get Trifexis or whatever the vet recommends tomorrow. I had her on it before, but took her off when she started taking Carprofen because she was seldom outdoors and I hated to put too much on her liver and kidneys. I flea bathed her again this evening and that's harder on her than anything.

Boy, they sure run quite the racket on those flea/heartworm meds. I hate paying nearly $20 per pill for them, plus the blood tests.

One of the biggest mistakes people make treating the home is putting the vacuum away without emptying bag outside. When you vacuum a flea it is still alive and can crawl out of vacuum. Empty bag OUTSIDE after each time using . smiles that dip is still around, labeled for mange, not fleas. look up dog mange dips.

Well, my dog barfed up her $25 pill. Hopefully it was down long enough to get some into her system.

The vet said she has a strong ticker. Her energy and appetite have bounced back to normal pretty quickly. She went out to do the chicken chores with me this evening, followed me around everywhere. Gonna check online for a cheaper place to get that pill.

If you have strong stomach, search her vomit for pill and give it again.

Just wondering did you ever ask your vet about giving Nutri drench for sheep?

You betcha...lol.

I forgot to ask the vet about the nutri-drench! I keep it on hand for the chickens. Really good for first aid. It may revive them enough until they can eat or drink on their own. All it has in it is vitamins and minerals, electrolytes and molasses. I can't imagine that the formula would vary much by species. I think in the future, I would give a tiny amount just to try it.

UGH, I HATE Fleas! Husband's dog had/has them bad this fall. Still fighting. @Smiles Jr. your routine and results sound just like ours.
I Never say I am ready for cold weather, but if it gets rid of fleas, bring it on.

@Smiles Jr. I use Bravecto on my dogs, available at vet's office. It keeps my 4 dogs flea and tick free for 3 months.

Spray TempoSC around house and it will kill fleas and mosquitos. It's also safe to spray inside as well. Rain does wash it away though.

Best thing I ever used to get rid of fleas was a home spray.

You spray edges of all rooms, under furniture, bottom of drapes... kills for weeks.
