Good afternoonsir, firstly find out what is causing the excessive shedding, it could be ectoparasites or inflammation, etc. Then we can now know the way forward. We will be on standby!!!

Thanks for your prompt response sir. Truth is I am not a vet doctor,that was why I brought it to the fore. The breed of the dog in question is a chiwawa.

I understand sir, please can you help me check the areas the where the hair is falling and tell me what you see, or if possible snap it. I am trying to be careful sir inorder to avoid misdiagnosis.

Okay sir, I now get the picture. From what I've seen, just put your mind at rest, It's nothing serious, I'll prescribe some multivitamins for you and some ointment. I'll do that via DM on WhatsApp.

Hello, I've got a dog with one of it's ear swollen with fluid in it but no physical injury. What could be the cause and how do you suggest it be treated?

I anticipate your response, thanks in advance.

Did you finally get any solution as I did not see any reply by the Doctor?

I didn’t get any response from him, had to sort it out myself

SO sorry about that. I was actually following because my dog also has similar issue at the moment.
How did you solve it?
I know it is called hematoma

Good afternoon Doc,I am yet to hear from u Sir.

priestcharm:

I'll send a response very soon

I sent you a mail about 2 days ago, I've followed you hopefully I'll be able to send you my contact

Good afternoon sir, please put your mind at rest, it usually resolves on its own. But if it's causing pain and discomfort, I'll prescribe an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for you. I'll dm it to you via email. But remember to remove to offending agent which is usually ticks and keep the areas around your dog's ear clean and dirt free.

qubys:

Please, I'm so very sorry, I thought I responded, but I realized I didn't. Please pardon me!!!!. It's actually aural hematoma and can be caused by excessive shaking of the ears which my be due to tick infestation or otitis. If the offending agent is removed, it usually resolves on its own and it not anything for you to worry about. As a means to show my sincere apologies, I'll dm my WhatsApp contact to you, so as to get direct access to me Incase of emergency, I'm sorry once more

Incase you don't get my mail, I realized the drugs are OTC hence can prescribe it here. You can get this lotion called Charmil® and apply to the affected area. Then in support, you would also administer multivitamins with bias towards Bcomplex and Vit C. You can also administer calcium supplements too. But I believe a good nutritious food has all the above vitamins and minerals hence if there are not available, just use the Charmil® lotion alone and put your mind at rest. Please I'll be on standby!! These multivitamins should be given once a day, while Charmil® can be used anytime, provided the area is cleaned before application.

SO I guessed they performed surgery on it in order to get the fluids out and probably tapered the ear?

kind of... cos they had to drain the fluid and was placed on some antibiotics

You can get at a Vet pharmacy, for the other question, you can get multivitamin with bias towards Vit C.

That's great. Saw where you wrote your first degree was in anatomy and with monicker guessed you were the one.
We both graduated from Ijanikin and OOU (same course initially, before separating to diff depts) You should be able to deduce who this is with that info

Good morning doc,
Happy Sunday to all petlanders.
Please is it advisable to tie the legs of a pregnant dog in other to stop her from stretch so much.
The goal is to prevent miscarriage through stretching.
NB: this is her first pregnancy.

Good morning sir, it is not advisable to tie the legs of your pregnant bitch, rather you should give her good and nourishing food with supplements like folic acid and iron supplements. Tying your dog may induce stress in your dog which may even cause the miscarriage and a host of other conditions. I hope it helps
