Good day Please Mr seun is it normal for my pup of 8weeks male lhasa to be licking his privates
And climbing on my legs like he is doing it is he not too young to be doing that already

😂😂😂 You worry too much. Provided he is not showing any symptom of disease, he is definitely fine

Jey24:
Good afternoon Mr Seun this is his skin as at yesterday but there was improvement this morning it wasn’t as red any more
And I used handkerchief to cover there so he doesn’t injure hisself again when I am not around but the thing is Even with the improvement he is still itching his body
I will update you if anything

I'll be on standby Sir

BenNash:
Please this is very important.

I had 3 dogs in the past and all died within a year while they were about 1-2 years old. Two of them had swollen stomach and got weak then died. The third one probably died of parvo not so certain.

We investigated and the only thing I can consider dangerous in my compound is frogs/toads. Don't know which one's common in areas like this. I'm guessing toads.

The thing is nothing can be done about those frogs/toads entering our compound. And you know these dogs put just everything moving they can chase into their mouth.


The question is how can I raise a dog in this same compound? Am I to give up on ever raising dogs here?

@seunH

Good morning, trust your day is starting up great! From your write up sir, my sincere advice is that you get a cage for them and ensure they are strictly in the cage. I will be on standby in case of further questions

Jey24:
I'm using amitraz bath and dermacure medicated soap for skin problems

At this juncture, you'll need to take a screenshot of the affected area, let me examine it.

Why would he be arrested
The law is that the trucks should be insured to cover 3rd party payouts and there is no limit to compensation depending on circumstances

Insurance companies have a lot of power and responsibility
They are responsible for ensuring that drivers are qualified and trucks are safe because when stuff happens it is on them to pay out not
Dangote. If a particular customer is causing payouts every month they know what to do
We need to understand and imbibe. insurance culture in Nigeria

The same way when two cars hit each and the drivers start fighting on the road when both car fully has 3rd party Insurance!!!

Jey24:
I even bought him simparica tab nd gave him the redness is still there and the itching
I bath him today with medicated soap and the redness calmed down but after a while he itched it when I wasn't looking and now its back to being red again
I don't know if there is anything I can do to help it like supplement I'm currently giving him zito oil booster too

Have you checked your surroundings and fumigate all cracks and crevices? Also what bath are you using?

Jey24:
Doctor I used the Amitraz bath today but his skin was very red after the bath is this how it’s supposed to be ??
I will observe him if he is still itching after the bath
Thank you for your suggestion

Did you dilute it as per the manufacturer's instruction?

Emprexxcomie:
Hi Seun
My puppy has been throwing up since last night (there’s no vet around me..I’m in Enugu ukwu) I saw thread (for sewing clothes) in his vomit. He was whining too last night but has stopped. He is always indoors since he hasn’t taken his last vaccination shots. Please what can I do?

How is he presently

NameError:
Good morning, Doctor. Please do respond when you have the time.

Good Morning Sir, below is the estimate of what to expect. Vaccination: 60,000 at once
Anti rabies: 10,000 per year
Feeding: 5,000 per week
Booster: 2500 per Month
Miscellaneous: 10,000 per month.

Please note this is just a rough estimate and can vary based on several factors.

Steamworld:
Doc good day, please what's the fast and permanent way to get raid of TICKS on my GSD

Good afternoon sir, you can get Bravecto, it's very effective. And also clean the environment as tick have the ability to hide in crevices

Jey24:
Doc I’m waiting for your response I am scared of going to the vet it was the last vet that used injections to kill my last pup

Not all are qualified just tell me what to do and rub that works

You can get Amitraz bath. Follow the manufacturers instruction usually once every 2 weeks. And clean the environment, I'll be on standby

NameError:
Well done with this thread, Dr. Seun. I skimmed through most of the pages to get a response for the question I have, but I couldn’t, and probably for the best since the cost of everything has skyrocketed. Here’s my question, what’s the appropriate budget for taking care of a GSD pup (at least 3-5 weeks old), medically?

I’m looking to get a GSD puppy; preferably male, and I would like to budget medical treatments for the next 12 months.

Good evening Sir, your question depends on a lot of factors, for instance area you stay, type of feed etc. But I'll revert shortly to give a definitive answer

Acknowledged sir. I respond to the email as soon as possible as I'm in field presently

Personperson01:
What's these myth about rope tired at the belle and also genital lock that happens? Help with more info

All myths and urban legends no fact and can even be dangerous to the birds

jonnex:
Dear Doctor, good day. My dog is pregnant. Does she need any medication during her pregnancy?

No sir, she just needs supplements like folic acid and iron

BUMBLEFOOT
Bumblefoot is a bacterial disease that affects the bottom of the chicken's foot causing it to swell. The affected area is hard and filled with pus with a brown or black scab. As the severity of the infection increases, so does the pain, and chickens are often reluctant to walk and may appear lame/paralyzed

FACTORS THAT CAN CAUSE BUMBLEFOOT

Large body size

Foot injury

Overgrown toenails

Poor diet

Foot deformities

Bullied chickens

SYMPTOMS

Abnormal walking posture

Painful swelling of the affected foot

Occasional discharge from the affected foot

Reluctance to move

Discoloration of the affected area

TREATMENT

Identify and eliminate the factor responsible for the BUMBLEFOOT

Soak the affected feet with Epsom salt so as to soften the area

Drain the pus by removing the scab and carefully clean the affected area with a mild disinfectant

Apply antibiotic ointment or spray and dress the area with a gauze/bandage

Administer broad spectrum antibiotics like Amoxicillin etc

PREVENTION
Maintain a sanitary environment for birds to live by regularly cleaning.

Provide soft and even ground substrate to walk on.

Keep area dry

Inspect and clean each bird's feet at least once a month.

Feed balanced diet.

Keep toe nails trimmed

His death is a proof that there's nothing like karma if you like make them deceive you after everything he died at 80
If we like let's continue to vote incompetent leaders nothing go happen

Nah Idi Amin own shock me pass, he died of old age surrounded by his loved ones in a mansion in Saudi despite all they accused him of

Mandy003:
Plz Doc what is the best treatment to eradicate ticks in dogs ?

Get Fipronil spray and regular tick bath atleast twice a month

INFECTIOUS BRONCHITIS

Infectious Bronchitis is a highly contagious viral disease that affects poultry birds especially layers. This disease is transmitted by inhalation, ingestion of contaminated feed and water, or contact with contaminated equipment/clothing and has led to severe loss of profitability among layer farmers. Infectious Bronchitis although primarily a respiratory system disease can also affect the kidney leading to kidney failure and the reproductive system leading to destruction of the oviduct. When the ovary releases egg, the egg will not be formed as the oviduct responsible for its development would have been damaged by the IB virus, hence the yolks along side abdominal fluid accumulates in the abdomen leading to a distended (swollen) abdomen, thereby forcing the bird to stand upright in a penguin-like posture (see photo)

SYMPTOMS
Sneezing

Coughing

Nasal and ocular discharge

Gasping

Respiratory stress

Loss of appetite

Reduced egg production

Poor eggshell quality (thin, soft, wrinkled, rough, or pale shells)

False layer syndrome

Swollen abdomen

Penguin posture

MANAGEMENT
Isolate infected birds and begin treatment on all birds in the pen

Administer broad spectrum antibiotics like Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, Enrofloxacin etc or preferably Tylosine+Doxycycline combo (Tylodox) to manage secondary bacterial infection

Administer vitamin C to boost immune system and aid recovery

Administer multivitamin and mineral supplement/electrolyte

Cull severely infected birds especially layers

PREVENTION
Vaccination

An “all-in/all-out” management policy should be followed, with disinfection between batches

Ensure houses are well-ventilated but also not cold

Ensure houses are free from ammonia build-up from litter by regular disposal

Avoid multiple age groups of birds to avoid the inter-group spread of disease

Ensure houses are pest free

Implement effective biosecurity within and around the farm.

elpochas:
I finally lost her,She died of pyometra as I told u earlier.She cud not survive the injection given to her as a result of her being to week.

I am so very sorry to hear that sir, please accept my sympathy. I also thought as much but since your Vet was on ground and did the physical examination I decided to go with him. I'm sorry once more chief. Just ensure you always keep me updated, I'll always be on standby.

elpochas:
Pls give me the next step,the man is telling me come today,come tomorrow.If u know wot I can do to pls tell me.

You can continue with the Augmentin your Vet administered not necessarily by drip, but ensure you add multivitamin and Vitamin C and keep her hydrated. Where are you based?

elpochas:
Good Evening Doc,I tink am about Giving up on her.No improvement,She does not eat again or drink water.Dont know wot to do again.Do Dogs Survive this type Uterus Shedding.Hv given my all.

Is your Vet aware of this development? And has he administered the next drop? This will guide our next step

APOPTOSIS:
U have done well.
GOAT is a ruminant and I believe they have 4 stomachs. U may be right.
Anyway, your initial explanation was epic, hence you earned a gift. Please remind me to fulfill it.
I owe some people here.
They gonna start getting theirs soon.
My transfer manager just got married and also moved into a new apartment, we are happy 4 her, she needs rest 4now. The disturbance go start soon. Na only her I trust 😂

Smiles

APOPTOSIS:
Amazing
I want to believe u used ChatGpt.
Prove me wrong.
Again, you forgot to pass NG tube to decompress and relieve the bowel of gases that may create tension on sutures.

But remember my chief, it is a goat that is involved here, they are ruminants (4 compartment stomach) so a Nasogastric tube may not be too effective, but I'm open to learning. For whether is Chapgpt, you can simply copy what I wrote and Google search it, if I copied it from somewhere, it will bring out the source.

My chief my gift oooo😁😁😁😁

APOPTOSIS:
If the Veterinary doctor punctures the intestinal walls, what are the necessary steps he would immediately take to restore healing and prevent complications?
Right answers will attract prizes...
Please speak from experience point of view

1) Immediate on the spot assessment of the extent of the injury
2) Prevent or reduce spillage of the content of the intestine into abdominal cavity which may lead to peritonitis. The site is irrigated with sterile fluid like normal saline to remove surgical debris and clean the area which will also aid visualization and then suctioned with a suction tube
3) The injury site is then stitched or if the damage is extensive the area may be resected and stitched (resection and anastomosis) using cushing method with an absorbable suture material
4) Confirm if the area is properly managed by pouring normal saline on the injury site and checking for bubbles
5) Administer broad spectrum antibiotics
6) Post op care

Where is my gift 😁?

COCCIDIOSIS
Coccidiosis is a disease in poultry that affects the bird's intestine caused by protozoa (same category as malaria parasite). The wet litter and hot pen temperature commonly observed in the rainy season favours the development of its eggs and therefore, the outbreak of coccidiosis.

SYMPTOMS
Bloody faeces
Rough feathers
Paleness of comb, beak, eyes and skin
Dullness
Weakness
Severe diarrhea
Decreased water and feed consumption
Decreased growth rate
Decreased egg production
Death

TREATMENT
1) Once observed, all the flocks including both the sick and the seemingly normal birds are to be treated together

2) The litter has to be changed immediately and the pen disinfected so as to prevent reinfection

3) Administer any of the following drugs:
a) Sulphamapro® (as per manufacturer's instruction

b) Amprolium® (as per manufacturers instruction) but usually 250mg in drinking water for 7 days

c) Amprocox® (Amprolium and Sulfaquinoxaline)(as per manufacturers instruction) but usually 20 gram to 20-40 litres of drinking water for 5-7 days

d) Toltrazuril® (as per manufacturers instruction) but usually 100mg in 100 liters of drinking water for 2 days

e) Diclaz® (As per manufacturer's instruction)

f) Multivitamins to promote healing

4) Traditionally, Dongoyaro leaf extract has also been shown to be effective in treating coccidiosis while crushed pawpaw seed and leaf has also been reported to be effective in preventing coccidiosis so also bitter leaf and garlic

PREVENTION
Change litter regularly especially when accumulated, after each brood or after an outbreak and prevent wet spots in the litter

Do not overstock

Proper ventilation

Proper drainage system and avoid swampy areas

Do not starve your birds

For layers do not use drug in feed but treat early as soon as outbreak appears and treat continuously until they are caged after then treat weekly/monthly for prevention

For broilers, use continuous medication in feed to totally prevent infction.

First of all, antibiotics needs to be administered, although I would have preferred Enrofloxacin but since you've started with Augmentin no problem. Then continue giving her multivitamins/Vitamin C and keep her hydrated.

elpochas:
He is telling me she needs drip,that I shud send him another money for drip.I feel the man is just fleecing me now.After paying him 70k for treatment.

That's why I asked if you trusted him before I could comment. Administer Vitamin C and keep her hydrated. I'll revert

elpochas:
Ya,he is the one that sold the Dog to us 8yrs ago.He is the one that has been treating her since then.Just that the bleeding is much and she has refused to eat even the egg that she has been managing to eat all dis while.Even the antibiotics I gave her today she vomited it.

Please call him immediately. ASAP, Ill be on standby

elpochas:
The only Injection he gave to her was Augmentin,Anti rabies and Worm.Then he gave me Some antibiotics and Multivitamin for her.Dont know if that will be enough.She only manages to eat Boiled Egg,as of today she refused to even eat it again.Why am chatting u is dt I just want to know if there is any drugs I can buy on my own and still give her.

Do you trust your Vet, like is your Vet someone you've known and is reliable?

elpochas:
This Shedding of the Uterus hope it's not Pyometra

Put your mind at rest sir, I believe your Vet has given her all the necessary drugs to make her well. Let's be patient and observant

Neot77:
Good morning , pls I need help. My dog has been sick and not barking for some days now .He has different wounds and sore all over his body. I called a vet to come and check him up but after the vet gave him some injections and oral medicine yesterday, he stopped eating and couldn't walk again since yesterday morning. He is very weak and can't do anything by himself again. Pls I need help.

I'm so sorry sir, can you kindly share pics of the wound and sores. This would let me get a clearer picture of the situation.
