Good Afternoon Sir, go to the nearest Vet pharmacy and get him an over the counter pain reliever and antiinflammatory. Also get a broad spectrum antibiotics like Amoxicillin for opportunistic bacterial infection, while you prepare to take her to the Vet hospital for thorough examination and treatment. For the dosage, please follow the manufacturer's instructions. I'll be on standby for updates.

Thanks for quick response, please is it the normal Amoxicillin and the antiinflammatory like ibuprofen for human being? Your phone number could be of help yet

A veterinary formulation is ideal however if not available a human formulation can suffice. For antiinflammatory, Veterinary formulated Dexamethasone or any drug in it's class will suffice. Ibuprofen is ideal for the pain reliever but as said earlier, veterinary formulation is the ideal. I'll be on standby.

Doc, I got this ivermectin injection from a pet store. I'm to give 0.3ml to my puppy. He's suffering from scabies. I was told to give the shot for three days, do you advice me to do so?

I don't advice you to proceed. I am not sure the person who prescribed the injection is a qualified Veterinarian. While you prepare to take him to a proper veterinary clinic, you can get Amitraz and bathe him with it every 2 weeks according to the manufacturer's instruction. Ivermectin injection can only be prescribed and administered by a qualified veterinary practitioner. I'll be on standby for updates.

Firstly ensure you keep him hydrated, then administer multivitamins and also vitamin C Then try to find out if there is any obstruction. Meanwhile when did you deworm last?
