ok i'll start. does anyone know without a doubt whether Ivomec injectable has to be refrigerated. i have an opened bottle that expires in 2009 and has been kept in a cool dark place. is it still ok for my dog, or should i buy a new bottle? (I just adopted my Rhodie)

Bring your dog in ( Dogs are super humans ) Some times I love and respect dogs more than humans because of their unconditional love and loyalty

It is a moral thing for you to bring your dog in
please do the right thing

(I admire you to be very honest saying that your dog sleeps out side )

Ridgeback, I wouldn't risk it. At the rescue we always refridgerate it--rules of the vet tech who volunteers with us. She says that although it never explictly states that, it is better and keeps longer when it is refridgerated. Congratulations on adopting him...do you have any pics?
:)

O.P.
Pit bulls are usually lean as yours is. All muscle. Labs tend to have more fat on their bodys. Fat helps to keep the body warm. Your dog has no fat, making it more suseptable to the cold.
Today, I heard that California is colder than Canada. That is not normal. Please at least bring him in while we are having this horrible cold weather. Please... I know you love him, just do this for now at least.

I have golden retriever that I let stay outside. He doesn't like coming in at all. When it is very cold and wet I bring him in the garage, but he really would rather be outside. I have a little pekingnese that wants to stay outside but I won't let her. She always sleeps in her crate at night, but every time I let her outside, I either have to bribe her in with a treat or chase her down to bring her in. She also is the only dog that I have that doesn't mind going out in the rain to potty, doesn't want to come in then either. What a mess. My other dogs go to the door and come to a sliding stop if it is raining.
I think it is ok to have an outside dog provided that they are happy and have adequate shelter. Some dogs just like to be outside more and would be unhappy if they were kept in the house.

Thank you boxerlover01! Im sorry for all those i offended but you all start saying mean things weather you think you all or not and it hurts. You saying i neglect my dog or am a bad owner really hurts. Ill let you know that we went on about a 1 1/2 mile hike then, a couple walks later today. It wasnt even cold.

Thank you all for the advice and on really freezing nights i will bring him in. Just please dont go on a persons forum and start being mean. Say positive thing. You can state your opion but be nice about it and dont keep going on about it.

If the person starts getting deffensive just know it is time to get off and go on another forum.
