Removal Of Ticks
November 15, 2009
Here is a good way to get them off you, your children, or your pets.
Give it a try.
Please forward to anyone with children... or hunters or dogs, or anyone who even steps outside in summer!!
A School Nurse has written the info below -- good enough to share -- And it really works!!
I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a tick. This is great, because it works in those places where it's some times difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc.
Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the
soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for a few seconds (15-20), the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
This technique has worked every time I've used it (and that was
frequently), and it's much less traumatic for the patient and easier for me.
Unless someone is allergic to soap, I can't see that this would be
damaging in any way. I even had my doctor's wife call...

Parvo Home Treatment With An IV
November 15, 2009
Q: I have the IV to give under the skin. How often did you give it. What kind of antibiotics did you give?
A: Give the puppies at least 150 cc to 300 cc every 4 -6 hours. You really can't give them too much. Normal saline is all they need. They all got an injection for nausea/vomiting from the vet. After the vomiting stopped we started them on cephalexin.
