I posted on this using my "Reply All" button on Outlook Express, but I don't think it went through - OK, I'll put in my 2 cents worth here - I have used flagyl, along with albon freely on puppies for YEARS. Never had a head titl, or any other "side effect: - but very strangely enough, since I started feeding the mommas and babies totally raw - I haven't had any "intestinal problems: - no diarrhea, no "not feeling well" - it is truly amazing - I still of course worm the puppies and momma, but that is all I use, whereas in the past it was either flagyl or albon or both, or sometimes something else like amoxi or Biosol to make them "better" Not trying to start a food fight here, but I tell you, this is the honest-to-goodness trruth. I wish someone could explain this to me - is it because the mommas and the babies have a stronger and healthier immune system being fed raw and this is why no one ever comes down with giardia or coccidia anymore ??? I don't know - but I tell you, this is fact. Iza Kabuska http://www.karizmashepherds.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
