i got an apbt a little over a week ago. she's only 6 weeks old (she was too young when i got her, i know) she had coccidea when i got her. took her to the vet and got her on medicine for that. she was supposed to take it for six days. she had just gotten better the last day of that medicine and as soon as i stopped it (as i was supposed to) she started with the diarrhea again. i can't reach the vet (thanksgiving) and i don't know what to do, i still have more of the medicine but i don't want to give her too much and poison her but obviously she's still sick. also, she has these sores on her face. we have no fleas or anything, but it looks like she gets these big mosquito bites that scab up on her face (we have no mosquitoes, either, i don't know what it is) she doesn't have them anywhere else on her body but they just keep coming up on her head and face. does anyone have any suggestions on how to take care of her until i can get in to see the vet on monday? thanks!!

I don't know what to tell you about the worms but the sores on her face could be caused by mites, I wouldn't treat her for worms again until you can see the vet. Maybe you can tell the person who you got her off that she has these problems and give him/her a good kick up the ***! Yes 6 weeks is too young to be taken from her mummy and things like worms and mites can only come from badly raised parents and poor living conditions. I suggest you contact the "breeder" and tell them whats wrong with the pup so they can check the rest of the litter (if there is any left!) In the meantime try cleaning her face with a mild salt solution, thats about all I can suggest. Good luck with your new pup and keep us posted. IP: Logged |

I agree with neek on this one, let the "breeder" know of your problems and wash the face with a mild salt or if you have any hepitane wash and dilute it a little, it could be a fungus of some sort that is just showing up now they can take awhile to show up, definatly take her to the vet for him to check this one out expecially seeing how she is so young as well.
