evening Doc. I've always been a lover of dogs. the vet taking care of our dogs kept saying ticks were feasting on our dogs but yet no effective remedy. bathing them couldn't solve the issue. my family lost three dogs cus of negligence from his part. too many quacks claiming to be vets. first picture is Pumpkin .second Korra. Last Lincoln

Hello,

Sorry about that.

I wrote an article that can be of help with future dogs:

Nice write up vet! Indeed they are touching dog chronicles. However, I have few questions for u. I have an adult male rotter man(dobberman*rot) and of recent I just bought a 9weeks brindle boerlboel. I have been advise not to let their 2 bond together as it might av an adverse effect on my little bb baby tasha. Thou my rotter man is friendly but very playful and his kind of play are just too rough and hard. Now these are my questions.

1. Does bounding thier 2 together make my little pup a very friendly dog too when eventually he turns to an adult as the rotterman is over friendly?
2. I observe the rotterman always try to climb (mate) the pup even when he knows poor tasha is still a baby. Pls vet with ur vasatile experience what does this means?
3. Should I stop my little pup from playing with the adult? (N/B my pup is always bored when ever she is alone but very lively when with Blacky my rotter man).
4. How do I make tasha my pretty girl less friendly so as not to make the mistake I made while grooming blacky?
5. At what age can I start caging my little doll?

Below are pictures of my little doll TASHA and my rotterman BLACKY.
Thanks in anticipation of ur kind response..

Dedicated about 2hrs of my time on your site. I must confess to you, it is very rich now. More grace to your elbow

Hi,

Thank you so so much. This means a lot to me. Amen and amen.

caspervenice:
Hy doc,
Please help me identify this symptom on my GSD skin and the treatment thank...

Nice write ups BTW

Hello,

Thanks for reading. With respect sir, it's only a magician that can tell you what's wrong with your dog this way. You need to visit a vet and have your dog properly examined and diagnosed.

Kindly let me know how it goes. I wish your puppy quick recovery.

Cheers!

Spoiler Alert: If you hate heart-warming stories; have no intention of laughing out loud or you are simply not in a mood to feel good and learn a few things, then go no further.

If not, then get ready to fall in love with dogs (all over again or for the first time, as the case may be) �� Babasoji Awe is the quintessential dog lover and his interview is so amazing.

Madam pls hw do I treat my dogs injured ear.
I have being spraying it with oxy voilet spray
Flies have being perching on it ..
My dog always scratches the ear making it bleed again
Am tired of the matter.
Am planning of wrapping it with tape and cotton wool deeper in voilet spray..Art least to drive away the flies bcus it's really irritating. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sincere apologies for this late response.

From my experience, dog ear wounds can be frustrating to deal with. This is because it takes forever to heal ( that's if it does). So I know where you are.

The reason your dog keeps scratching the wound is because it's healing. Unfortunatley, this act inhibits the healing process and opens up the scab that has aleardy been formed leaving a fresh wound in its wake.

My recommendation is that you get a fly repellent plus healing oil and spray several times a day to keep the flies away and aid wound healing. Also, (if you are successful and your dog doesn't tear it off the first day), get an Elizabethan Collar and keep it on your dog for the duration of the wound healing. This will prevent your dog from being able to reach his ears.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Hello Doc, I have a lovely Alsatian named JJ. He's gonna be 10 weeks old come 2mao. He weighed 6.5kg tonight.

I fed him with can food till last Monday when I decided to get him Booster food.

The booster costs me 19200. He hardly eats it though but I dunno what to do so he could eat just the Booster.

Also, he sheds his fur/hair these days.

Kindly advice accordingly.

Hello,

Sincere apologies for this late late reply. I did promise to get back to you and didn't.

I'm pretty sure this case should be resolved by now but for the benefit of any who might be in a similar position, I'll give my opinion and advice.

I believe one reason JJ hardly eats the booster is probably the way you introduced it-suddenly. New food must be gradually introduced to a puppy. First by mixing the new food with the old one in varying proportions before eventually serving only the new.

Also, it could be that JJ simply doesn't like the food. Just like we humans, dogs have food preferences too.

Shedding hair is a natural phenomenon with many breeds of dogs. It's a way of getting rid of old fur for new fur to grow. Excessive shedding could also be a sign of worm infestation and that would mean having your dog examined by a vet.

JJ must be a big boy now

Hope this helps, however late it comes.

Thank you.

Prodeegee:
well done doc

Thank you sir

Awolowo86:
Very lovely and enlightening post so far.
Please kindly identify this breed for me.
Am a first time potential dog owner and will appreciate recommendations please.
Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for stopping by. It's always heartwarming to hear from my readers.

The dog looks like a mix of Caucasian Shepherd and the German Shepherd breeds.

It's quite hard to tell if the parents aren't known.

Cheers.

Thank you for reading, liking, commenting and following.

I appreciate each and everyone of you.

I absolutely enjoyed interviewing Mr. Godwin. Such sincere responses. My favourite part has got to be the lessons he has drawn from having, loving and keeping dogs. Can you relate?

These ones are vetinary doctors na. If this happened in nigeria, the number of vets will double or triple that in the picture because... Vets are all jobless in this country

No, we are not! And it's "Veterinary" not "Vetinary".

Over the past months, I have received many requests to share my vet school experiences. I thought a fun way to do that will be to recount 10 things I hated about Vet school and 10 things I loved about Vet school respectively. This week, we begin with the things I hated.

10 BREEDERS; 1 QUESTION

It's safe to say that the cynophile community is growing larger by the day in Nigeria. {I also regularly get a number of emails requesting guidance in purchasing a new puppy}. Consequently, this means that more Nigerian breeders spring up by the minute. Is this a good thing?...
