| BATHING AND FLEA PRODUCTS The first bath should be after one week or so when the puppy has become adjusted so as not to add stress unless needing one due to flight time. Use warm water and a shampoo made for puppies that does not have flea product in it. Towel dry, and then use a blow dryer on low heat to completely dry him/her.{careful not to burn your puppy} Keep him warm for a while afterward, to prevent chilling. If you need to use something for fleas, get FRONT LINE SPRAY from your vet. It is easier to apply the correct dosage for your small pet. NO FLEA COLLARS ON PUPPIES!!! NO CHEMICAL DIPS!! (I use fresh and clean oatmeal formula shampoos. You will probably have to get these from a pet store. Also, the Fresh and clean deodorizing spray. It is safe for your puppy and his surroundings. NO FABREEZE ON PUPPY OR HIS BEDDING. No Advantage, Resolution, Heart guard or other topical till six months of age. WHAT ON EARTH ARE COCCIDIA? Coccidia are single celled organisms that infect the intestine. They are microscopic parasites detectable on routine fecal tests in the same way that worms are but coccidian are not worms and they are not visible to the naked eye. Coccidia infection causes a water diarrhea which is sometimes bloody and can even be a life threatening problem to an especially young or small pet. Oocysts are passed in stool. In the outside world, the oocysts begin to mature or "sporulate". After they have adequately matured, they become infective to any host (dog or cat) that accidentally swallows them. They are swallowed when a pet grooms/licks the dirt off himself. In some cases, sporulated oocysts are swallows by mice and the host is infected when it eats the mouse. Coccidia infection is especially common in young animals housed in groups ( in shelters, rescue areas, kennels, etc.). This is a common parasite and it is not necessarily a sign of poor husbandry, dirty living conditions, or neglect, especially in a kennel situation. The sporulated oocyst breaks open and releases eight sporozits. These sporozites each find an intestinal cell and begins to reproduce inside it. Ultimately, the cell is so full of what is called "merozites" that it bursts releasing the merozites which seek out their own intestinal cells and the process begins again. It is important to note how thousands of intestinal cells can become infected and destroyed as a result of accidentally swallowing a single oocyst. As the intestinal cells are destroyed in larger and larger numbers, intestinal function is disrupted and a bloody, water diarrhea results. The fluid loss can be dangerously dehydrating to a very young or small pet. A routine fecal test is a good idea for any new puppy or kitten whether there are signs of diarrhea or not, as youngsters are commonly parasized. This sort of test is also a good idea for any patient with diarrhea. Coccidia are microscopic, so a fecal test is necessary to rule them out. It should be noted that small numbers of coccidian can be hard to detect, so just because a fecal sample test negative, this does not mean that the pet is not infected. Also, small numbers of coccidian in the stool are not a problem unless there are other symptoms such as diarrhea that are present. Sometimes several fecal test are performed, especially in a young pet with a refractory diarrhea, and parasites may not be evident until later in the course of condition. Stress is large factor in coccidian. The stress of being moved to a new home, being allowed to play too much and become over tired, a mild cold, or just being held too much can weaken the young, immature immune system and allow the coccidian to begin to multiply in numbers that would be dangerous to a very small pet. We do not have any medicine that will kill coocidia; only the patients immune system can do that. But, we can give medicines called coccidiostats which can inhabit the coccidial reproduction. Once the numbers stop expanding, it is easier for thepatients immune system to "catch up" and wipe the infection out. This also means, though, that the time it takes to clear the infection depends on how many coccidian organisms there are to start with and how strong the patients immune system is. A typical treatment course last about a week or two, but it is important to realize that the medications should be given until the diarrhea resolves, plus an extra couple of days. Medication should be given for at least five days total, sometimes courses of as long as a month are needed. Albon (sulfa drug) or Amprollium are the most common coccidiostats used to treat coccidian infections. The use of sulfa drugs in pregnancy can cause birth defects. The over use of sulfa drugs can also lead to false positive test results for urine glucose level. While there are species of coccidian that can effect people ( i.e: Toxoplasma and Cryptosporidium), The Isospora species of dogs and cats are not infective to humans. Other pets may become infected from exposure to infected fecal matter but it is important to note that this is usually an infection of the young (i.e: the immature immune system tends to let the coccidian infection reach large numbers where the immune system probably will not). In most cases, the infected new puppy or kitten does not infect the resident adult animal.

TLC DOES NOT MEAN CONSTANT HANDLING, PETTING AND PLAYING WITH. PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE. |
| STRESS IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF DEATH TO NEWLY ACQUIRED PUPPIES! There are many sources of stress. Simply moving a puppy to a new home, holding him to much, contending with another pet, or being allowed too much play time, are just a few of the many sources of stress. A new puppy is nervous and excited because they are unfamiliar with their surroundings and their new families and this causes a lot of stress. They are like babies who need regular scheduled time for eating, sleeping, drinking, going potty and playing. CRATE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM TO HAVE FOR A NEW PUPPY. It can be a carrier, a cage, a playpen, or a small enclosed area in a quiet room of your home. The crate serves two purposes. It will house train your pet and it protects its health and well being while it grows. The crate provides a secure, comfortable place where he can rest, eat, drink, and play at his own pace. The crate should be placed in an area where the temperature stays about the same all the time. Avoid drafty areas. Provide a comfortable bed in the crate since puppies sleep approximately 90% of the time until they are older. They will need food and water available to them in the crate at all times. This allows them to eat, drink and rest as they need to so they can grow properly. AVOID EXCESSIVE HANDLING. Too much of this can add stress and overtire the puppy. A tired puppy will not eat. He only want to sleep. Missing a meal can be a life threatening thing with a young, small puppy. It can lead to a condition called hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This can become dangerous if not noticed and treated immediately. There is more information about this condition in the following literature. Please take time to read it. A puppy can be played with for about 30 minutes at a time at first. Taking him out for his potty break should begin the playtime. This schedule for playing can be increased gradually, week by week, as the puppy grows older and becomes stronger. The rest time should remain the same. He needs at least two hours or more at a time in his crate, undisturbed, for rest. GIVING HIM QUIET TIME FOR REST IS A MUST!!! ***The stress of moving a puppy can sometimes bring on illness. If you notice any sign of illness before or at the well puppy check up, contact us immediately and if possible return the puppy to us immediately. We do not pay any vet bills not authorized by us. We will, however, take the puppy back, treat it at our own expense and return it to you in a healthy condition as our guarantee states. **************PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING SHEETS OF INFORMATION!****************** |
