I have two vets, one is a USA trained woman who is much more concerned about the animals than the money, so she is great. The other is an Egyptian vet who brings to the table modern veterinary practice combined with some Old-World homeopathic, herbal and supplement treatments. He succcessfully treats heartworm infestations with Ivermectin, which USA trained vets will not do. Ivermectin treatment of heartworm is a very, very complicated technique and you should not try this at home. Screw it up and you will kill the animal in only a few hours.
My dogs are healthy and happy and growing! "Big Daddy" is up to about 135 lbs (61 kg). He doesn't like the scales at the vet and won't stand on them any more, so this is his last known weight from about 6 months ago. The puppies at 16 months are at around 65 lbs (30 kg) and the Momma Dog is on the small side, only about 75 lbs (34 kg). I do my own vaccinations, except for rabies, which by law here must be administered by a licensed vet.
