Afonjakid:
Who is going to fight the civil war unless you mean yorubas are going to fight tbe rest of Nigeria

Sir, check the history of civil wars around the world esp in Africa, you would see that, it is as a result of one region or religion or family holding on to power in a multi ethnic or multi religious country without allowing power rotate. If after PMB another Fulani Muslim northerner takes over for another 8 years making 16, political parties would be scared to present a southern candidate hence one section and one religion would continue to rule this country which would lead to agitations and counter agitations from affected parts of the country which would ultimately lead to civil war

Afonjakid:
Civil war with who??

Civil war sir means war within the country

Taiwotasungo:
Hello doc I need your advise on this, I have 6 dogs and all of a sudden they started getting lean and they eat well drink water and all but get lean to the extent you can see their ribs, I gave them antibiotics and blood tonic still same now 2 died. My vet said it’s a kind of virus with no cure so I’m confused please help

Good morning sir, and im so sorry for what happened. Have they been dewormed sir?

sogodihno:
You are used to loosing already.
Pachukwudi my friend.


If you really believe the north can rule for straight 16 years then you know nothing anyways, that's why your prediction always fail

Sincerely, 16 straight years!!!!, that's a recipe for civil war!!!

Ungodly:
thanks sir but what I actually meant was that, there’s this little worm that the dog is infested with on the skin, so if it’s pressed forcefully the worm will come out of the dog skin just like when you pop out a pimple… there’s about 3 holes on the dog skin, I think the worm made the hole, how they got there I don’t know.

Okay I now understand, what you can simply do, is to apply Vaseline cream on the site or unconventionally you can use palm oil, it would suffocate the worm and force them to come out, then you can back up with the multivitamins I prescribed above. I'll be on standby

Ungodly:
Dr seun, good morning sir.
There is this worm that my dog is infested with, I don’t know if it’s heartworm or hookworm, but I noticed that the dog keeps getting lean and low on life since it was infested with the worm…

Good morning sir, please get a very good dewormer and deworm while you back it up with multivitamins esp vitamin C and B complex

Khaleepha5681:
Sir in politics,you don't remind a person for the past favour.... Rather,you should offer the next favour and he will study it and accept or reject.

But to mention past favour, is to say that you have nothing to offer next time. And you will be dumped as a used.

Your first paragraph is a word on marble, I'm going to steal it!!!

lanrekinfol:
Hello doc, please help. What is this on my dog's ears?

Good evening sir, please can you give me a brief description of how it happened

tommyopera:
Good morning doc. My dog has been battling with bloated stomach for some months now. The vet Dr treating her then asked me to get furosemide, after using it for some time the stomach stopped swollen and reduced but the dog refused to eat at some point so I had to stop the drug. Then after some weeks again the stomach started swollen again. This has occured like two times now because she always refused to eat when using the drug.
Now have stopped the drug permanently and the stomach keeps getting big and she's eating, urinating and pooing well. Please what can I do to stop the swollen stomach permanently?

Good evening sir, I'm so sorry for the delayed response. My candid advice is to go to vet clinic for proper examination, in order to know the origin of the bloat. It could be due to many reasons including nutrition, etc. I'll be on standby

ndrule:
I think I may have caused my dog great pain today....he has been in pain since I applied the tick spray Sunny Glee.

The ticks were much around his anus and I think I may have applied too much, his restless and can't sleep, he twitches like the pain comes and go. I pray he gets better by morning oooo....cos he is in so much pain

May be the concentration was a bit high, and may be suffering from intoxication. Try to rinse it off with water and keep her in observation till your Vet comes tommorow. I'll be on standby too

ndrule:
Doc, Good afternoon.

So my vet gave me Gadol for bathing him and Sunny Glee (A spray). What's your take on these, products you are familiar with

I'm not too familiar with the last product, but since I assume you met a qualified Vet, then you have nothing to fear

ndrule:
Doc, first I must commend the work you are doing here.....Reading all your advise alone enlightens one to the remedy of common issues with dogs. God bless you.

I'm not really a dog lover but I had to gift my wife one, and not really being a fan of dogs I decided to buy a Lhasa atleast one that won't outgrow me . He is about 4 months and stay mostly indoors, asides his stubbornness which is a worry for me. I notice he started having alot of ticks lynched to his skin and due to his hairy nature I struggle to remove them cos he hardly allows me to touch him(He takes every thing as play ).

Please, what can I do about his stubbornness and how do I deal with this ticks, they give me so much concern.

What have I done:

1. Got a powder which the vet recommended I buy and apply on his body.

2. I bath him almost once a week, because we keep him inside a room while we are out for work, I think when his pee had dried up, he unconsciously lies on that spot making him smell asides his natural smell oooo...(I almost sold him when he was 2months because I couldn't deal with the dog smell, my wife convinced me not to, that dogs comes with their own smell and being a puppy he still need training)

3. I have used snipper insecticide in his room.

4. Hand pick the ticks, when he allows me to.

Please advise. Thank you

Good afternoon sir and thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it. Get this spray called Fipronil and apply it. Ensure his surrounding is fumigated and clean with no hidden crevice. If it persists get this drug called Bravecto® But I don't if it would get to that. I'll be on standby

Hermes119:
I can't say I agree with everything you said but I think I agree with most
I do not subscribe to the idea of intelligent designer because there may be other reasons beyond our grasp for the origin or sustenance of life if there is any such thing. I'm happy you said the nature of the First Cause is outside our scope of thinking,so even if you believe in ID you can't tell the nature of the designer or if it's still extant. Be rest assured though your argument doesn't give any credence to your Christian faith

I'm so sorry, I'm not a Christian sir!!!

Hermes119:
Interesting !
I don't know how to play my cards now cos I have so many
The problem with the intelligent design argument is that you guys contradict youselves. If humans are too complex to exist spontaneously how come the designer who is far more complex than humans came into the picture spontaneously. The argument for an intelligent designer is basically hinged on our complexity so the more complex an entity or system is the more unlikely that it started existing spontaneously so if that applies to humans it should also apply to the intelligent designer who is far more complex,the presence of the infinite regression like you pointed out is the flaw in your argument how you expect me to dismiss it is ridiculous,if you base your argument for God on the complexity thing I have the right to apply the same argument for your God
But even if I agree that a first cause was responsible for the existence of the universe,the first cause can be an infinite number of things,it could be something devoid of emotion or feelings,it could be something that humans can not comprehend,it could be DEAD !

P.s. Your reason for dismissing the obvious flaw in your argument ; infinite regression is to avoid ending in infinity but that is exactly what the first cause is an infinity with no beginning or end,does infinity make sense to you,but you accept it nonetheless

My dear Bros, this is not a game or competition sir, we are 2 learned adults trying to learn from each other.

"If humans are too complex to exist spontaneously how come the designer who is far more complex than humans came into the picture spontaneously"

Take note sir, I never claimed the creator originated spontaneously. What I said was that the originator exists outside our realm and not subjected to the laws of our realm. In addition, there is no way we can grasp the full nature of this creator since we are still confined within this realm and the creator exists outside this realm. Let me give you an instance, you were born and breed in big box, all your existence is confined inside that box. My brother, if you want to look for the origin of that box, would you look inside the box or outside the box?

"The argument for an intelligent designer is basically hinged on our complexity so the more complex an entity or system is the more unlikely that it started existing spontaneously so if that applies to humans it should also apply to the intelligent designer who is far more complex"

That's wrong boss, the argument of an intelligent designer is based on a lot things sir, what you stated is just a fraction. For instance ID is also based on irreducible complexity (remember my kidney example), origin of species, information theory (which is a death knell for atheists- science has proven that despite having our organs well designed and positioned in the right places in our bodies, it needs to be programmed to work and function the way they do, that their existence doesn't indicate functionality, so who programed it? topic for another day) etc

" If you base your argument for God on the complexity thing I have the right to apply the same argument for your God"

But you can't fully know the nature of my God, because his existence transcends our realm, if the creator is confined within our realm, then you have the right to ask for evidence of origin and full nature

"But even if I agree that a first cause was responsible for the existence of the universe,the first cause can be an infinite number of things,it could be something devoid of emotion or feelings,it could be something that humans can not comprehend,it could be DEAD"

I think this is the only point I'm tempted to agree with you, but at this point, this is now subjected to your individual belief and this is where religion comes to play. If your first cause is a flying spaghetti monster, Zeus, Brahma etc, it is subjected to your personal belief


"Your reason for dismissing the obvious flaw in your argument ; infinite regression is to avoid ending in infinity but that is exactly what the first cause is an infinity with no beginning or end,does infinity make sense to you,but you accept it nonetheless"

No sir, you're getting it wrong. I wasn't the one who dismissed infinite regression nor avoided ending in infinity, SCIENCE DID!!!. Science told us that 17 Billion years ago, the universe was an empty vacuum without form. 1 billion years later, the universe sprang into existence, meaning the universe and our existence has a date hence FINITE.

I hope you understand sir

Hermes119:
Okay
So what is the origin of the intelligent designer ?

The intelligent designer is THE ORIGIN. Ask me why? The reason is this, if we ask who created the intelligent designer, we would be forced to ask again, who created the person who created the intelligent designer, then we would go on and on and on, till infinity. And you know the result if that be the case? we would never had been in existence or our existence would have been infinite. But opposite is the case here, our existence is finite (16 billion years ago), meaning that an entity capable of originating but not itself originated (exists outside the realm of been created) started this whole process, and that is why we are here. Something had to start this whole process and that something should exist outside the realm of that process and not subjected to the law of such process

Hermes119:
So God,to be very specific,the Christian God exists because you feel we don't have a satisfactory explanation of how human beings came into existence ?

Not Christian God specifically sir, I mean a Creator/Originator kind of God. Also medical science is going in the direction of an intelligent designer with regards to origin of existence of humans. In conclusion, in addition to non satisfactory alternative explanation, science is pointing in direction of an intelligent designer. A typical example is the kidney, there is no explanation of it's existence aside an intelligent designer without sounding stupid

Princeben50g:
My Lhasa aspo dog is too stubborn he will bite me if I want to bath him. Please what can I do to solve this

Use a mouth guard

gudvibz:
Please what is the cost of neutering a cat in Nigeria, I want to neuter mine, all of them.

It depends on the location and area the vet hospital is located, but I'll advice you go to a government vet hospital, it's cheaper there

Haroldjunior:
Okay boss, 07031177247 is the number Sir. God bless.

Okay sir

Euphoria081:
But sir can I go ahead with the crossing, cause tried mating her today but she was so aggressive and she refused, though presently no sign of blood yet Jst discharge. So I don't knw if she on heat or about to come on heat. Pls help.

Be patient sir, as she was aggressive it means she ain't ready yet. Let's place her on observation

Haroldjunior:
Good day Doc, please I’ve got this adult female boerboel, for some days now she’s been low on energy, she’s not been eating as usual, she’s lethargic, she’s shaky/acts like she’s got pain in her hind legs mostly(not vocalized though). I would have taken her to a vet, but then there are no bet clinics close to where my mum lives and the dog is with her, and I travelled. I was able to contact a vet, although he stays far, from the symptoms, he said she may be down with Lyme disease, cuz her urine is yellow, she’s acting like she has a fever and all according to my mum. I couldn’t reach him again when I tried asking if there are any OTC meds he can prescribe so I can tell them to get and administer, before I come back and then look for a way to get a vet come over, cuz so far, it’s not been possible. Cuz I cannot just let her condition get worse. I’d really appreciate your help Sir. Thanks.

I'm so so sorry for the late response, yesterday was weekend and my hands were full. On this case, I'll recommend you go for a comprehensive lab test, then we move from there. Meanwhile, I'll DM some analgesic and some supplement you would use for the mean time.

Nathnaija:
My dog nose is bleeding

Good morning sir, what caused it, was it due to trauma? If not, just put your mind at rest, it will stop on its own. You can just administer multivitamins esp iron supplements, to make up for lost blood. If it's due to trauma, see a Vet. I hope o was helpful

Euphoria081:
Goodday doc SeunH, my dog came on heat recently but is not quite stable, observed all the heat symptoms
, though her vulva was swollen, sometimes it reduces in size and increases subsequently but no blood Jst kind of a brown discharge, she also leaks the area. Today makes it day 7 she entered heat. I'll be on a standby for your response. Thanks

Good evening sir, long time chief. Just calm down and make her comfortable, all will be well. I don't seem to see any serious problem sir, I'll be on standby.

Victerica:
What is your take on heaven and hell?

Also, what is your take about the end of the world?

I believe it exists and one day the world would come to an end ( which has been proven scientifically)

Victerica:
Sincere worship through Christianity?

Your personal decision sir

Victerica:
Which is the best way to God?

Sincere worship and love your neighbors as yourself

To me you're lucky in that, if you clock 50yrs of age she would be 37 (she can still take care of you comfortably), when you are 60, she would be 47 (still fair enough). But imagine a lady you are say 5 years older than. When you are 50 she would be 45 (fair) but when you are 60 she would be 55 (not too okay). When you now clock 75, she would be 70 and remember women age faster than man, who would be taking care of who? NB, Check out Olu Jacob and Joke Silva's age difference

Victerica:
So you are saying that there is a God, right?

There is no other explanation without sounding stupid, so Yes

Victerica:
Hmmmmm!

My brother, I no go lie you oooo, Evolution is real... The mind evolves!

However, there is a God who started and controls this Evolution!

My brother, you are right, evolution is real. For example, the prevalence of AS Genotype in Sub-Saharan Africa shows that when Genetic mutation occurs, n
Natural selection can make mutated genes to adapt, same for tuskless elephants in Mozambique, even our dark skin pigment are all evidence of evolution in action. But are they capable of bringing about new individuals, for example me and you, catfishes, goats, lions, iroko trees and all both plant and animals species we see? The answer is capital NO

Lontrra:
Trying to vaccinate my dog, and a vet is charging me 7,500 per shot for DHPP. Isn't the price too much?

Good evening sir, it's not too much sir except you want to fall into the hands of quacks. Your priority for now sir is to confirm if he is really a qualified Vet, so that if anything goes wrong, you can always hold him responsible. I'll be on standby sir

the deases is called CACCIDIOCIS. And The most popular treatment for coccidiosis is
Amprolium , which blocks the parasite's ability to
uptake and multiply. Treatment is usually
administered by adding Amprolium to the
chickens' water supply, however in some cases,
where sick chickens aren't eating or drinking
enough, the medication is given orally. you may watasp me for more
