| I give my own shots and do my own worming.I get my products from Revival. They are more than helpful with any of your questions about the products. For a wormer, I like Nemex, but they have a cheaper version of the same thing. The shots do not come with needles so I buy a box of them too. I use the size for puppies and kittens and a louer-lock needle. I give my puppies 3 sets of shots and a yearly booster. I give my adults a booster about every 4 years. This year I will micro-chip the dogs. I have never done it before, but it doesnt look too hard. I am using the AVID chips.

| Shots are REALLY EASY to give!! Just pick up the skin on the back of the neck and put the needle under the skin and give the shot. I have only had one puppy have a reaction and I gave it a shot epineferin immediately. The pup bounced back right away. I have never had a probem with Nemex. I would contact Revival. They are so helpful and Ihave never had a problem with them. By the way, tails and dews are really easy to do also.LOL

| I order from Revival too and use the DA2PPV. I've never had one have a reaction to a vaccination. I start at 8 weeks for the first vaccination. I use Nemex 2 for a dewormer and start that at 6 weeks. One caution about giving the shots. Have someone hold the pup securely and maintain a shallow angle with the needle. You don't want to get near the spine with the tip. I pick up the skin into a tent and aim the needle between my fingers holding the skin up. Also, make sure there's no air pocket in the syringe before you give the shot. Last edited by Woogie Man; 07-31-2008 at 07:02 PM. |

| Hemostats are great for tails: clamp and twist. No blood or infection or stitches. Nail clippers are good for dews. But, my friend has such strong finger nails that she can do a great job of removing dews with her nails. There is only a minute amount of blood, if any, and the results turn out wonderful.
