I was the newcomer who read the list. It's a good thing I have a strong stomach and my own mind. I worm my dogs. I have a dog who has always tested negative, then a few months down the line I see a roundworm in his stool. I've lived at two different places with him, so I'm fairly sure it's not the clean up. At the apartment there was no soil, poop was picked up off of rocks. I haven't used the DE for a few months, too lazy to order it in the fall. I use Ivomec for HW. And I wormed him at the beginnng of Nov. A few days ago I found a roundworm in vomit. So for all of the chems I've been putting in his system, using HW stuff for months, fecal tests giving negative results, he still has roundworms. Turns out Morgan and Doe Zoe were right about skinny boy. Last I heard, the dose of Ivomec for HW was not strong enough to kill intestinal worms. I'll dose him with Ivomec then go back on the DE, without stopping this time.

Who CARES what another person does worming or feeding. As I recall the initiator of the thread asked a simple question about worming and people got all defensive as to MY dogs don't get wormed like that ...or.....dogs SHOULD be wormed this way. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT. Can't we answer questions, and have a discussion about these things w/o all the drama? lol. I would HATE to be a newcomer to the list or the breed and read that stuff, sheesh. Kathy http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com PUP-DATED: JAN 8, 2008 HOME OF: CH.
