EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i have a 3yr old cur dog that her coat seems to be not as slick and well defined as my other dogs or how hers used to be. i just noticed it this weekend while loading them up for a hunt. Her hair use to be smooth and even and it kind of looks dirty and course looking. I have been hunting her pretty hard for the last 4 months. She does not act like anything is wrong with her while hunting or in her kennel.
Could it be that it is nappy looking because of summer time and she is shedding?? Is it something that i should worry about?? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Do you worm her regularly?

I usually feed my dogs a fatty hammock to make there coat glossy.

yes, i give ivomec at the first of every month and then give a type of intestinal wormer on about 5 days later. either strogid or safeguard. i change every couple months.

she had a couple tapes in her #2 awhile back, but i knocked them out with praziqutal pills. i thought that might have been it, but i knocked them out. unless those tapes put a toll on her and it is just takeing awhile for her system to recover. idk.

i have a tapes in another dog and his coat didn't change like this, that is why i didn't think that was it.

Give her a break she done put 4 dozen head in your boad... or try some herbal essence shampoo hahaha.

fish oil and eggs will help with her coat.

Worms I say. Get you some valbazan and give it every month. It gets tape worms along with others

I was gonna slip her a raw egg of 2 in her food bowl, it'll make her coat nice an shiny.

Also get a brush, kinda like a horse brush, tie her up and brush her, and bathe her, make all the difference in the world

OK,  thanks for the advise everyone.

what type of worms would you think??
