Today i brought my dog to a vet.
his testicles are infected and after all the licking is swollen and stinking and nanah.
the vet said it's the ticks and flea on and in the system.
that's why my dog is only 16.8kg..and bony..
Urine very yellow and the vet said" oh, dahsyat!" No further explanation.
I have been feeding my dogs with perma, wonder how fast the system will flush out the ticks before they kill him..
the vet also told me to sapu cream (healing) and Bayer (powder- anti flies). Am thinking Bayer cant sub with Perma as it's food grade and not poison grade
Do remember that the presence of fleas indicates an animal who is not completely healthy, another reason to not use chemical preventives. If you see fleas – you need to work on the overall health.
Here's a quote from a holistic veterinarian, Dr. Christina Chambreau;
The presence of fleas is usually a reflection of the underlying health or lack of health of your pet. A very healthy pet on a great diet is unlikely to get fleas. The best way to prevent fleas is to IMPROVE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM of your pet through nutrition, exercise, no or minimal (none after first year except rabies) vaccines and holistic treatment. By not using “monthly fleas treatments” you will have another clue to the health of your animal(s) since the presence of fleas indicates a weaker system.

In addition to the DE, it's
utmost crucial to feed your dogs only wholesome raw meat diet immediately and no more of dry and/or canned foods.
Would like to share with you quotes from Jesse Dallas, author of "Pets Need Wholesome Food Also" and "What's New PussyCat";
"Fleas — this word alone conjures an image of ruthless, blood sucking parasites and in many ways, this description is correct. Fleas are members of what I call the M.N.W.R.U. (Mother Nature's Waste Reduction Union). Unfortunately, fleas never go on strike and unfortunately they fully understand their job description.
A flea's job description in nature is to suck the blood from animals and they are more naturally found on dead carcasses. Unfortunately, fleas don't realize that our animals are alive. However, because so many pets are not as healthy as they should or could be, fleas may become attracted to a pet's body. We must try and get your pet to optimal health because otherwise to fleas, your pet's skin may be similar to that of a dead carcass.
Realizing that fleas are only trying to do their job, a job which in Nature's scheme of things is very important, we can begin to help minimize the numbers of fleas that hop on to our pets and maximize the number of fleas that hop off.
To help fleas hop off our pets, one should try to minimize the amount of toxins that enter your companion and maximize the toxins that leave.
Your pet's skin is not immune to chemicals or poisons. It is important that we, the guardians of pets, become more educated. The arsenal used to rid pets of fleas should be sound common sense, natural products and wholesome food."

"We should be glad in an uncanny way that our companion has fleas. Fleas are a sign of a problem. We should not look at fleas as being the problem. True, fleas can pass tapeworms (healthy animals should not get tapeworms) into the system of our animals and can even cause anemia, but ultimately they are our friends because they're letting us know that our companions are not healthy.
An unhealthy system has a low immune system and lacks vitamins and minerals. Thus, really the problem is an unhealthy body with the symptom being a flea infestation.
To treat the problem we must solve the malnutrition. Contrary to popular belief, commercial pet foods are not complete, if they were, we wouldn't be seeing so many cases of chronic disease in dogs and cats today.
Commercial pet foods may contain unnecessary preservatives and lack real nutrition. Since 90% of disease is nutritionally related, the goal of every dog or cat guardian should be to feed a quick and simple homemade diet that contains maximum nutrition and is natural.
A homemade diet simulates what dogs and cats would get in the wild, does not take long to prepare and is extremely affordable, especially when you consider veterinarian bills become virtually non–existent as now the animal is amazingly healthy."

"Once you begin feeding a raw meat diet, the body will naturally expel worms when the body has reached a point where the body's level of health and immune system is strong enough."
"Many people need to give their pets a deworming pill to get rid of the worms. Unfortunately, these deworming pills only address the symptoms. When you see worms leave the body without the use of medication, people become believers in the importance of wholesome food. People begin to understand how wholesome food helps, at a simple level, the body's own natural healing ability."
"If you feed a commercial pet food diet or any type of cooked meat diet then our dogs and cats will always be susceptible to worms because any type of cooked meat diet shuts down the digestive system, begins to create mucous and an unhealthy environment within the body which in turn creates the perfect habitat for worms. But, when you feed a raw meat diet, the body keeps itself clean and the worms no longer have a suitable host body."

"Many people, including myself, have seen dramatic results and improvements in their pet's health by simply feeding natural and wholesome food.
Some have had to cancel appointments to get their pet's teeth cleaned after introducing natural foods, other have seen skin and coat problems improve or disappear completely; some pets experience less of a flea problem, bad breath, bad gas, and bad body odour have also been known to mysteriously disappear after introducing homemade food (although it is no mystery when you understand what is happening).
Some people have experienced even greater benefits from simply feeding homemade food. The one thing I have discovered is that nothing surprises me. The stories I have heard from people and the things I have seen are absolutely incredible and heart stopping. I have heard of cats clearing all of their symptoms of feline urilogical syndrome, feline leukemia, and even feline AIDS after incorporating wholesome food."
