Problem: Article: Dogs can carry worms and other parasites that can cause health problems, so it is recommended that you treat them with worming medicine as soon as the puppy is old enough. There are no worming products that are recommended for newborn puppies. However, fenbendazole (Panacur) is suitable from 2 weeks of age. Panacur comes as a liquid wormer that can be gently syringed into the puppy's mouth after a meal of milk. For each 1 kilogram of body weight, the dose is 2 ml daily by mouth. Give the wormer once a day for 3 days. Flea treatments should never be applied to a newborn puppy. Most flea treatment products recommend a minimum weight and age for use, and there is currently no product that is suitable for newborns. Puppies should be at least 6 weeks old before you can apply selamectin (Stronghold in the UK and Revolution in the US). Puppies should be at least 8 weeks old and over 2 kilograms before you can apply fipronil (Frontline). Puppies acquire a certain level of immunity from their mother, but they need additional immunization to keep them healthy. Check with your veterinarian for an appropriate immunization schedule.
Summary: Give the puppy a worming product after 2 weeks. Wait until the puppy is 6 weeks old before applying flea treatment. Start immunizing the puppies at 6 weeks.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mortgage payments can be easily found using your chosen spreadsheet program. This function, in all major spreadsheet programs (Microsoft Excel, Google Spreadsheet, and Apple Numbers), is known as PMT, or the payment function. It combines information like your interest rate, number of periods, and principal to arrive at an amount for each monthly payment. For simplicity, we will be focusing on Microsoft Excel's PMT function here. The process and inputs will likely be identical or very similar for any other program you are using. Consult the help tab or customer service if you have any problems using these functions. Start using the PMT function by typing =PMT( into your spreadsheet. The program will then prompt you for the proper entries into each part of the function by showing the following: PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type]). The first three represent required inputs, while the last two are optional. rate stands for the monthly interest rate. Note that this will be your annual interest rate (the quoted rate on your loan agreement, like 4 or 5 percent) divided by 12. It should also be expressed as a decimal. For example, if your annual interest rate is 6%, you would divide this number by twelve to get your monthly interest rate. This would be 6%/12, or 0.5%. However, this number must be input in the equation as decimal, so we divide again by 100. So we have 0.5%/100, which equals 0.005. This will be your monthly interest you will use to calculate mortgage payments. These calculations can also be done in a different order (6%/100 = 0.06, 0.03/12 = 0.005). nper is short for "number of periods" and simply represents how many payments you will make on your loan. For a monthly payment, this would be 12 times the number of years on your loan. Imagine for this example that you have a 15-year mortgage. So, your "nper" value, or your number of payments, would be 12*15, or 180. pv stands for "present value" but here it simply means the principal of your loan. For this example, imagine you have a $100,000 loan. This will be your "pv". Don't worry about the other two values; leaving them blank will make the program assume their correct value of 0. The program will display your monthly payment amount in the same cell you entered the formula into. Note that this number will be negative, this is simply the program expressing it as a payment (or expense). In the example above, this information would be entered as =PMT(0.005, 180, 100000). The PMT function will return an amount that represents the total amount you will pay on the loan each month. Know that this number will be expressed as a negative number. This doesn't mean you entered your information incorrectly, but simply that the program represents payments as an expense and therefore, a negative number. Multiply by -1 if this helps you understand and use the figure. The spreadsheet should return -$843.86 when you enter your function as described above. Multiply this number by -1 to get your monthly payment of $843.86.

SUMMARY: Understand the function used. Start using the PMT function. Enter this information and press enter. Analyze your result.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are concerned that you might have hemophilia, then you should consult with your doctor about it. Don't just assume that you can manage a bit of excessive bleeding on your own. Hemophilia needs to be managed medically, so get a professional diagnosis and treatment plan. Hemophilia can be a very serious condition, so when you call to make the appointment tell the medical personnel what you think is going on. They should get you in to see the doctor relatively quickly. Explain your symptoms and why you think they might be connected to hemophilia. Be prepared to discuss other possible reasons for excessive bleeding with your doctor. If you bring up hemophilia with your doctor they are likely to do an extensive family history with you to figure out if you have a history of the condition in your family. This is because the condition is so connected to genetic inheritance. Make a list of all of your symptoms and when they occurred before you go to the doctor's office. Bring that list with you when you see the doctor. Symptoms include bleeding gums, dark urine, bloody nose, blood in stool, and easy bruising. If your doctor thinks it's warranted, you will have testing done to evaluate how quickly your blood clots, what your level of clotting factors are, and whether you have clotting factors as all. Tests will show whether you have hemophilia, what type you have, and how severe it is. Getting a diagnosis of hemophilia requires a blood test. The blood test looks at the levels of factor VIII and factor IX in the blood, which are the clotting factors in the blood. If initial blood tests show low levels of clotting factors, then your doctor will most likely move on to genetic testing to identify the hemophilia mutation. There are two types of hemophilia. Type A, which accounts for about 80% of cases, is a deficiency of blood clotting factor VIII while Type B is a deficiency of blood clotting factor IX. Both have identical symptoms, but a blood test can determine which type you have.
Summary: Make an appointment with your doctor. Discuss the condition with your doctor. Have testing done.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can find breed rescues by searching for them online, or by contacting your local humane society, dog officer, or vet's office. Many pet-related businesses will be able to provide information about local rescue organizations. Don't forget about talking to German Shepherd owners or visiting breed shows to meet more owners. Any puppy coming from a rescue should be fully checked by a veterinarian for basic health, parasites and vaccinations before they are adopted. Generally, they will be spayed or neutered before they go to their new homes, or you will sign a contract to do so in the near future. Beware of any rescue group who skips these steps. Many rescue groups have an extensive placement process. They will require an application, an interview, and a home visit to ensure a successful adoption. Some may even ask to consult your current veterinarian for information about you and previous pets. If you don't own your home, be prepared to provide a letter from your landlord stating that you are allowed to have a dog. If you already have another dog, that dog will need to be evaluated to make sure that the dogs will get along. While this may seem excessive, the rescue group just wants to place the dog with a family in a home that's prepared to handle the responsibility.
Summary:
Contact breed rescues in your area. Make sure you're dealing with a legitimate rescue group. Go through the application process.
