Does anyone have any old home remedies that was used to worm dogs, i have heard old timers talk about many different things but havent tried them , just wondering how they done it before there were vets.

I use zimectrin for heart worm, and zimectrin gold for heartworm and a general wormer.

Arsenic was one of them, pink root ,areca nut and castor oil crushed seeds as a cure for mange on dogs

I'm 64 years old. My Grandmother used arsonic. She started with a drop from an eye dropper and each day increased by another drop. After 3 weeks or so, the dog was slick and shiny, flees died, ticks fell off, ect. Seemed to work fine for her.

nmplott,
i just bought a tube of the zimectrin gold, how much do you give each dog individually??

thanks,
mike.

I usually just give them copenhagen. my grandpa used to breed wiemers and thats what he would do. so thats what I do. plus its alwys in my pocket lol so its kinda handy.I have seen people worm horses with it too.

Hey Mike, I use zimectrin and have for the last 15 years and I give each dog a 50# dose once each month, that's one notch on the tube. Have a good1, Mike

lepcur,
thank you for the help.
mike.

sorry I did not get back sooner. Lepcur is right.... one notch will work... I usually hollow out a hotdog and put it in there. It helps the dog take it. And if you put a bit more than you planned don't worry.

k thanks, sounds like ill be doing some worming today.
mike.

random question but how do you guys feel about giving Zimectrin Gold, to pups that have never been wormed before??

thanks,
mike.

A little cautious but I still give it to them. Just give them like a quarter of the dose you would give a 50 pound hound. I mean by being cautious just check in on them to make sure there are not any adverse reactions going on, some dogs like collies can not be given ivermectin the active ingr in zimectrin

nmplott,
thanks for the input. Hows the hunting for you been..caught any more lions? I chased one about a month ago up in the mountains behind your house there in belen, never caught it. big cat though.

Bency,
I wish there was more time in the week to hunt. I got out a few times just to let the dogs run.
