I do things I would never tell anyone here to do...IE oxyie shots, when, how much etc..that is for their vet to determine...I would talk privately with an experinced breeder and discuss what I do..and that experinced breeder would know they are taking a risk, but that is what we do..it is a risk to even breed a bitch...
I am not a foo-foo breeder..( that is the name we are called by commerical breeders)..I have no blank check to be foolish about the money I spend on my Yorkies...but I know going in that there are expenses that should not be cut out of a breeding program..my vet taught me many useful things to help with my breeding expenses..and a breeder needs to learn all they can, but not to the point of endangering the animal...
Best wishes to you and your dogs. |
I agree. I am not a long time breeder, but I would never tell anyone to give medication in manner that is listed as unsafe on the package.
Even if I did it myself, I would not want to be responsible if something happened to someone elses pups. Just because I did it and nothing went wrong, does not mean that it is safe.
I hope the OP takes in a stool sample before giving the meds. Putting unnecessary chemicals into those tiny bodies is irresponsible.
