That type of drinker would be good for you as flies cannot get into the water bottle and wont bother with the shallow dish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MissRhianL 70 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 It wouldnt be so bad if you could get a clear picture of this sample and try and try and match it with something to give you a rough idea of what it is so you could read up abit of information on what is the cause of them, or you could always ring the vets up and tell them that you have a sample of it and any chance that you could pop it down to them for them to see and try and give you an explanation about it. You want to get a bottle of Jeyes fluid give the kennel a real good scrub change the bedding etc wash the dogs and see if it still happens. Just a check see if there is anything on the roof of the kennel that they could be dropping from. Let us know what it actually is and the cause when you find out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
