Consider 100% New Zealand bovine colostrum to boost the immune system. See: Bovine Colostrum, the Forgotten Miracle

Colostrum is also excellent for treating diarrhea.

I thought we could put info or links here of our most important info. When new members come with questions we can just bump up one thread. I will need help getting all our info/links on here though. Please post what you can.

info on vacinations http://pug.meetup.com...

To minimize the damage to the health of your dogs:

Do not vaccinate an animal with symptoms of acute or chronic health problems, or at the time of surgery or other physical or emotional stress. All vaccines, including rabies, are medically approved for use in healthy animals only. This is explicitly stated in the package insert for every vaccine. So if any of your dogs are showing any signs of acute or chronic disease, the manufacturers do not recommend administration of the vaccine.

As much as possible, vaccinate for one disease at a time, and avoid multivalent (combination) vaccines. Your vet can order vaccines individually if you request it. It is no more expensive and much safer for your puppy. Space them out at 3 week intervals. Give parvo separately from distemper and hepatitis. Do not vaccinate for leptospirosis or parainfluenza. Never give the rabies vaccine at the same time as any other vaccine.

For adult dogs, vaccinate every 2-3 years, instead of yearly. Better yet, just vaccinate puppies, and don't vaccinate adults at all (except for rabies, since that is required by law).

After vaccination, give a single dose of the appropriate nosode in the 30C potency.

Pets, like people, get respiratory problems that range from common colds to pneumonia.

For a cold, you can give some vitamin C (250 milligrams three times a day). Garlic, goldenseal, and bee propolis, all with natural antibiotic properties, are also useful. You can also try Pet Sneezes & Wheezes and/or Heel-(BHI) Cold & Flu Tablet

Naturally, if symptoms worsen, have your pet checked by your vet.
