Re: end of life 16 yr old toy poodle how to know?

I forgot to tell you Masons age, he was fifteen and a half when he died. The vet said I had done a great job as Bassets usually only live to be 11 or 12.

Re: not sure what to do now

It gets better and you can remember with out crying. I can now sniff Mason's collar that still smells of him.

Re: Canine red mite mange

Also I gave him dog vitamins and dog brewers yeast with garlic . The medicated shampoo really seemed to help with...

Re: Canine red mite mange

I agree with the infection. My pound pup Teddy, had mange and was treated for mange twice ,but would not heal and was red and stunk. I gave him human penacillion ( vet would not give him anti bioctics) and it healed up and hair has grown in.
