dogdoc Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Re: Dog doc dogs and west nile? There is no vaccine for dogs and I doubt there will be one any time soon. If you have a healthy dog than I wouldn't worry about. We have not seen a case in a dog in oklahoma yet but we are seeing a lot of horse cases. I would bet the dog that was infected with the virus and got sick had an underlying problem that was causing some immune suppression. There is a fairly new product out called Advantix, it controls fleas, ticks, and repells mosquitoes off dogs. If you are in an area with West Nile than I would strongly recommend that! Do not use this product on cats! good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Re: Dog doc dogs and west nile? Mosquitoes are really bad this year so make sure horses are vaccinated for West Nile. As far as dogs I would be more worried about tics than anything. They seem to be worse this year than they have been in some time. I thought the really bad winter we had would help to thin them but they seem to be extremely thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
