Kibbles are made with machines...manufacturers have different machines for grinding, mixing, pelletizing and oven drying, but I don't think this should stop one from improvising and producing ones own home made kibble.

Some fish farmers in Nigeria produce their own pelletized fish feeds, so why can't dog breeders and owners do the same?

You've a point, I think trying something new out wouldn't be a bad idea at all, just that the only barrier we'd face is just the lack of idea involved in processing kibbles. But since google is there for us, things will be a little easier.

Trying out new things isn't just a bad idea, Therefore I'll see if I'll give it a try next time. what do you think?

Was giving them some instructions early in the morning not to mess the compound up because no one would be home to look after them, they complied and did just as i said

Murphy and Gustaf respects me so much, there's time for everything and thanks goodness Gustaf is already adapting

too much of everything is bad because anytime I talks to Murphy with a mean face , he'd end up being moody for hours so after instructing them, i teased the boys a little and Gustaf can be seen trying to get Murphy smile in the second pic, these boys won't seize to amaze me o lol

vincentjk:
There's nothing I'll not see where these boys are o hiaa, I don't even know what to say though it's very funny to me but maybe they need a female to be among them

Am not getting any female dog to avoid stories, I don't even have any plans to breed. I'm just a dog lover.

see them they're shaku shakuing!!!

Yuh, what matters is just happiness and love

Been noticing an abnormal development on Murphy's neck lately, which has turned out to be worse this morning

It's a kinda wet sore which i believe is caused by bacteria, it looks just like the "sweatypaws" he suffered from last month but this time i think he feels no pain since it's located on the neck region. If pressed, the sore would release a pale yellow smelly water which retires back if realesed.



I brought out my first aid treatment kit which i composed purposely for emergencies like this and began cleaning the wound firstly with "hydrogen" as can be seen in the image below, applied a little medicated spirit on it and lastly violet paint/GV.


I think I'll be getting an original first aid box, a forcep ( the medical name for the long metal scissors used in chemists), and some waterproof hand gloves in order to protect my palms from getting stained by the violet paint/GV.

remove the collar

durubrian:
remove the collar

I bucked the collar on so I'd get Murphy to stay in one place until I'm done, though I removed it as soon as the treatment was over.

Sounds like 'Wet Mange.'

I don't really know what name to call it but since you're a med doctor maybe you should have a clue

My rotts were recently treated for something similar to what you described...my vet called it 'wet mange'.

He gave them a couple of injections, which I'm guessing were probably Ivermectin inj and an antibiotic. He then gave me an ointment containing 20% sulphur, 2% phenol & 25% paraffin to apply on the sores daily. I also gave them Amitraz baths on my own, which the vet also agreed was helpful.

They are now very much OK!

That's nice

My phone's camera keeps getting blurrier day by day, I just wish i own a good camera so the pictures would make a lot of sense

yu are so on point.

vincentjk:


I even prepare some for myself

Rany4all:
Ivermectin

this ivermectin I keeping seeing it every where even in my sleep is it an antibiotic or what?

Jungpablo:

No it's not an antibiotic, but rather an antiparasitic drug that is effective against a wide range of parasites that infest both animals and humans.

Its almost like a wonder drug in vet practice because many animal diseases are caused by parasites. They use it against ticks, lice, mange mites, maggots (myaiasis), worms, etc, etc...

Could this wet mange be caused by parasites too?

vincentjk:

Yeah mange is caused by microscopic parasites called mites...much like scabies in humans, in fact mange is sometimes called canine scabies.

I started developing great interest in having a dog since last year because I tagged dogs as the most loyalist to human being especially the owner and the family... the main problem I had then was the house I was staying but now I just moved to a new rented apartment where I have large compound to myself so I am looking at getting a GSD and I would like you to put me through on how to get a full breed GSD and would also like you to be my mentor because this will be my first dog ever... thanks and I would like to hear from you soon...thanks I've been following your post since you started..

Greetings petlanders, I've been looking for a day to start a diary for my two boys but i always don't but today it's a must lol.
Murphy is a boerboel, he was so hairy and had no wrinkles at the early stage but i promised him I'll do my best in feeding which i must say "worked". He's currently 2yrs+. I've stored pictures to share the previous moments with petlanders here. follow us and be entertained.

While gustaf is a German shepherd born in August 2017, he's currently 7months old. His coat and appearance has changed a lot since when i got him till date.... Gustaf is a very active dog.

Nice one. My GSD won't allow his male counterpart to mate with her. Taking her outside to mate didn't help also. Took her to a vet and she locked in my presence. But she won't get pregnant. Dog of four years oo. Any suggestion, please.

Oluwafreshing:
Boss don't feed him raw soya. Cos soya beans could be poisonous. Cook it. You can prepare it like semo.

Cyanide..

Soak, Peel, the roast mildly before grinding..
I don't support raw meat either. Worm infestation and diseases might occur. Also your dog is going to become a vicious carnivorous animal...a danger to kids.

Look for a older and handsome male, the maybe choosy

vincentjk:
At 13weeks old gustaf's ears were begging to erect which made him look more cute and mean at the same time, he was getting back in shape after battling with parvo virus

(the other dog in the background is a pup my dad brought home rott mix).

Forget all this. Use one dog for correkt dog peppersoup.. u shaa dey miss op

vincentjk:
Gustaf was gradually growing and changing at the same time... This thread kinda looks boring, I need support to proceed please

I have lots of dogs never fed them raw meat, does it increase aggression or is that a myth
