What drug are you using for mastitis?

I mention 3 possibilities: cephalexin, clavamox, and TMZ ... so I need to know which one you're using ... plus the amount ... plus the weight of the mother.

None I didn't thought I need any drugs if I followed you directions what should I use the female is 40-42lbs on the chain ill weigh her in the AM @ work now won't be off till morning I put the pups back with the mom but the are all bathed and kennels are clean

If you didn't give drugs, then you did not follow the directions on how to prep a bitch for mastitis at all.

Read Chapter 10 "Animal Husbandry & Raising Pups," and you will see I clearly recommend the use of 3 drugs (in a 3-step process) for bitches who have mastitis.

Ok its in the black book

The Black Book has the same information, in Chapter 13 "Breeding Dogs & Raising Pups."

Look at p. 266 and the instructions are clearly there.

Good luck.
