Garlic causes hemolytic anemia in horses and dogs. I learned that the hard way with one of our horses.Fortunately he survived but I was giving it everyday like for a yr before my horse got sick so it takes awhile.If the dog has worms though and its not treated and all you have is tobacco or garlic atleast you have a shot at saving the dog.Ivermectin is poisonous to dogs to and some people use that as a heart worm preventative.
I hope your friend can save this dog.
Whatever he's gonna get is going to come from a line medic, not a clinician. The medics only have basic antibiotics, since their job is only to stabilize and transport.
I wonder if he just might can get ahold of some buttermilk or some yogurt? My vet swears by buttermilk it supports good gut bacteria,also helps with dehydration.If he can maybe a pinch of tobacco could be used with the buttermilk to act as a buffer. My dogs get buttermilk everyday for my peace of mind.It will coat the intestinal villi to.
Does anyone use Wendy Volkhard's Raw diet? She uses garlic to detoxify the gut but I don't remember how much. I want to say its 1/4tsp.a one time thing.

A practical and probably sensible reply. There comes a time where you say "Well, doing nothing isn't working, and all I have is .... "

I'm sure the chowhall in A-stan is no different from other KBR chowhalls. Yogurt could be obtained through the chowhall, though it will be flavored.
The locals might have goat yogurt.
Non-heat-treated goat yogurt (no heat after culturing, so cultures are alive) is a good thing. No sweetening, no flavoring, and a kind of milk that even dogs who don't tolerate cow's milk often tolerate well.
Connie what do you think-say,a one time dose of garlic wait a wk and then re-dose and keep giving the yogurt or buttermilk? Say for like a month then stop it? That would be just 4 doses. Does that sound safe to you?

I just don't know.
When I read all the studies showing that the allium genus was toxic to dogs in unpredictable amounts (large amounts for garlic, much smaller for onions), I wrote off the garlic cures insofar as my dogs go. (I personally agree that garlic is fabulous for humans.)
So I would have to do some reading about it again.
