Dog with chronic ear issues?

It did and the (redacted) cat loved it! :)

Once it was feeling mellow and not acting like a chainsaw we gave it a bath with the same flea shampoo we use on the dogs and the occasional chickens we take in. The chickens we take in often have chicken lice and mites and a bath in flea dip takes care of that. At this point it's just a rule that new chickens get a bath.

The cats usually don't need a bath but this one was ill and it wasn't going to get any better until the ticks and fleas were gone. It lived with us like four or five years and then disappeared one time. No idea what happened to it.

We have used dish soat diluted with peppermint oil added as dip for poultry. It gets the lice and ticks and is not toxic.

Totally disagree in a sense. I was always the kind of child who believed that animals should go to heaven and cockroaches to hell.

I remember many years ago being shown a photo of a fossilised cockroach. The roach measured 30cm in length. Imagine stepping on a roach that big and all the white gooey stuff oozing up between your toes... . :oops:

Definitely a creature deserving of hell.

The bulls I want to buy semen of...are 75 bucks for each 1/2 (.5) cc.
When you have one everyone wants to use....they are better than a gold mine here.....they just keep makin' the stuff!!

Just wait.... Bill Gates will have you all eating bugs, if he gets his way.

Nope. His way don't matter no how. The judgement in the book for the "Kings and captains" is they are themselves food for the beasts of the fiield and fowls of the air.

Amen!

You may not have noticed, but there is a new sheriff in town….😉

Bill is probably more focused on avoiding charges of crimes against humanity.

He can want in one hand and “spit” in the other and see which one gets full faster.
 
I guess I should also clarify (since I don't understand where this started), but I'm not in any debt, and I don't owe any businesses any money for the treatment of my pets. My dog has pet insurance, which is $30 per month; it covers the initial treatment of any new conditions, meaning the first few visits were very cheap. His average vet visits are less than $100. He also has an accidental policy that only costs me $10 per month. His vaccines and microchip were through a friend who runs a rescue, she only charges what she pays for them and orders in bulk, that was like $35 total.

I'm sharing this in case anyone needs to know low-cost options in the future. Lots of rescues will help with vaccines, neutering, heartworm prevention/ tests, and microchips. Also, when I did animal rescue, we did lots of emergency fundraisers for low-income families when their pets had emergencies they couldn't afford. You wouldn't believe how many vets would work with us when we told them the situation as long as we had a little money to get things started. They began to trust that we'd raise enough to cover the rest of the bill, and treat the pet immediately. We were able to help so many people that way.

It's not like it used to be when I was growing up. There are options now and vet care doesn't have to cause substantial debt.
