When I complained that Gini seems to itch a lot, I was suggested "Bulfo Powder" by the vet. Used it...she seems to remain better for 2-3 days...again all the same.

Today I had a chance to get hold of an ectoparasite from her body. Did a little experiment with it..... :p ;)


Aim: To identify and annihilate it.
Aids: Match stick and Bulfo Powder.
Method: I tried quenching it with a match stick...it got weak but still moving.
I had put some Bulfo powder on and around it....even after 30min it was moving and around the area which was dusted with the powder.

Observation: Neither did it kill nor repelled the tick.

Inference: Species identified - Tick, specifically "brown dog tick" [http://www.dog-obedience-trai ning-online.com/images/removin g-ticks-from-dogs.jpg]

They are pretty strong - not very easy to annihilate.

The powder was a crap....bad medicine...seemed to have no apparent effect on the tick.


>> Are we Indians all naughts that they sell us all these holly shits...??!!

Now, do we have any alternatives (except Tick-collar) to get rid of these ectoparasites, like some shampoos and all???????


[Sounds kiddish but did and felt like sharing.... :-D].

Now, something serious.....
Important Information:

1. 5-10% of fleas live on animals and rest is believed to thrive in the surrounding of the animal. The treatment of the surrounding of the infested animal along with the animal is recommended.

2.* Fleas transmit tapeworms, ticks transmit Lyme disease, Tick paralysis. Ecto-worms are also a cause of endo-worms.

3. It has a long life-cycle [http://www.afraidtoask.com/ly me/lymelifecycle.html] & [http://www.ah.novartis.com/im ages/cab/tick_lifecycle.gif].. .an extended treatment is needed.


Regular bathing in clean water and tick collar seem to be the best solutions.

Golden rule....never buy a pet from someone who does it for a living as their life depends on the sale of the puppy and once sold it is a closed chapter. which breed are you looking for and why ? How would u know they are showing the correct pictures, most of the breeders will show u only fake parents as they dont want u to get in contact with the breeder so that u will know the actual price and comission :) I only breed rottweilers for 7 years now and i have friends who breed labs, golden and other breeds as a speciality and they do it for passion for the breed and not $$$ Thanks & Regards Lorven Pet Shop New BEL ROAD, Bangalore Shop Location > http://tinyurl.com/7rv87uk

I am not a doc but have experience...of 10 years with dogs Few questions... Does your dog have ticks ? Check the temp with a thermometer and let me know. Give microdox ( 1 tab per 10kg body weight ) If it still doesnt eat then take to doc immediately as saline needs to be given.
