Stop Pit Bull Fighting

Do you now Pit Bulls are Great Dogs? This greatness should be rewarded with Love, Praise and Compassion. Not Death, Scars, Pain and Blood.

DOG FIGHTING IS USELESS.

Pit Bulls are made to fight for game testing, pride, money or EGO. I don't have any difference in opinion some Pit Bulls love to fight. But they aren't breed for that purpose. Please think it over before letting it out for fighting...

Though dog fighters can shout till their face turns blue but they can't give oner valuable reason why Pit Bulls should be allowed to fight among themselves. Never did!

Dog owners leaned quickly that the pit bull fighting is their bread winners. It could put some extra pennies in their wallet. Thats why they allow Pit bull Fighting.

Totally, I hate Pit Bull fighting. Will you?

Control of Ringworm in Pit Bulls

Do you know ringworm is the most common disease in pit bulls? As the name implies ringworm, it is not a worm but fungi called Dermatophytes—thrives on dead skin surfaces.

Although 35 species of ringworm affect the pit bulls, 'Microsporum Canis is the main cause for ringworm.

If you notice a rapidly growing circular path of broken hair lesion on the skin, it is nothing but ringworm. If you notice dandruff-like flakes on the inflamed patches, you can confirm that your pit bull is going for ringworm infection. The common occurrence of this disease is paws, tails, ear tips and face.

The ringworm disease can easily be confirmed by your vet using ultra violet light. Once your pit bull is diagnosed with ringworm, your vet will advice to use topical medications or anti fungal pills for your pet.

You should take enough precautions to prevent the occurrence of this disease among human population, as it is an infectious disease. Use gloves while applying the topical medication on the skin of the affected pit bull. Don’t allow your kid to play with your pit bull until final recovery.

Always keep your pit bulls neat and clean! Although medication is available to cure ringworm disease in pit bulls, the slow recovery time is a real problem with this disease.

Use of Biaxin for Cold in Little Pit Pups

Do your little babies of pit bulls are suffering from colds? It is so hard with animals not to spread around what infections that they have. I would talk with your vet before putting them on this medication. Here is the information on Biaxin.

Biaxin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, such as stomach ulcers, skin infections, tonsillitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, and bronchitis caused by bacteria.

Now I thing you may want to do is to seperate those pups who have the colds from the healthy ones so that they are not spreading around the virus to the others.

Next check with your vet on the Biaxin and the Z-pac. There may be a reason as to why your vet prescribed the z-pac instead of Biaxin. I would almost thing that the Biaxin may be to strong for the pups. I wish you well with the recovery of your babies.
