Re: Strangles Again

Would you keep a strangles puppy for showing and breeding? What about a very lightly affected puppy...no spots other than a few inside ears and one or two on lip? Does it matter if it was a mild case as opposed to a classic case? Is it too risky to breed a puppy that had it?

Re: Strangles Again

I would absolutely keep a strangles puppy. I did, and my boy is now finished and more than halfway to his GCH. The Pyoben was from the vet. Aveeno you can get at the drug store. It is the colloidal oatmeal for a bath. Samson was longer on the pred than the antibiotics also. I have noticed that a couple of the scarred lesions will act up so I keep him on L-Lysine when travelling and showing heavily.

Thank you for the replies.

Re: Strangles Again

OP would you email me privately with the specifics on your treatment protocol?
