Good evening Dr. seunH
i have a 7 weeks male shih tzu. i took him for his first vaccination this week and he was dewormed last week. my problem is that my boy doesn't have appetite. he just eats a little and move on, i am worried please, what can i do

Good evening sir, I would want to know if she is on any multivitamins?

websitegurufix:
Good day Dr. SeunH,
I have used the calcium for 4days now... No improvement, what I discovered today was the leg that was affected, I pressed it hard and I discovered the dog felt serious pain from the bone.

Good morning sir, you've done well, at this juncture, it's possible we are dealing with dislocation, sprain or fracture. I'll prescribe a pain reliever for you while you prepare to take her to the clinic for assessment and examination. DM me for the drug

grammar . As if you go to the hospital when you have headache from work. Nigerians can pretend eh

Lolz, God forbid you have an accident or injury, go to the pharmacy instead of hospital nah. Nigerians and short cut ehnn

Pharmacist are in the better position to help more

No my chief, pharmacists are not doctors. It is a doctor's duty to prescribe while the pharmacist dispense. Hence, the OP should visit a nearby hospital or clinic. In addition, I observed something on this thread, we Nigerians should learn to refrain from advising people on issues that is not our field, we will cause more harm than good. Back to the issue, it is wrong to pour powdered antibiotics on an open wound. Powdered Antibiotics is to be taken orally not topically. When you pour powdered antibiotics on an open wound, the powder would become dry and form a crust over the wound thereby providing a suitable environment for microbial growth which may hamper healing process. The fact that you've used it in the past and it worked does not mean it's appropriate. If at all you must administer a medicine externally to a wound, it should be medicines indicated for "Topical use" example GV, Oxytet spray etc.

Hello Doc,

I have a situation with a Neopolitan mastiff. She is refusing to eat, weak, and vomitting. Can I contact you privately?

Be my guest

Ungodly:
Thank you sir, I so much appreciate this, I’d get the dewormer and multivitamins as soon as possible.

Please be my guest anytime

Ungodly:
Thanks for the swift reply sir and No the dog hasn’t being vaccinated or dewormed

Okay sir, let's do that first especially the deworming. It's best done in a vet clinic where appropriate steps would be taken. Pending the vaccination, you can get over the counter dewormer from a pet shop and also multivitamins especially vitamin C and B complex. I would have loved to prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotics to fight any opportunistic infection, but it's against our ethics to prescribe some particular types of drugs online, although it would be given in the clinic. All the above can be gotten in a pet shop or vet pharmacy

Ungodly:
My dad has a local dog he cares so much about, and the dog has not being eating well for the past few days now plus he’s so lean and look so sick at first glance. What do you think is happening with the dog and what can I do to make the dog healthy again? Thanks.

Good afternoon sir, and I'm so sorry for the challenges. I'll like to ask, has the dog ever been vaccinated and dewormed. Let's start from there, then we would know the next step

websitegurufix:
Can I take the dog for a walk?

Let's be patient for now

websitegurufix:
Good day Dr. SeunH,
I discovered that gsd is limping since 3days now, i looked at the affected leg well, no wound and the dog is not feeling pain when i pressed the leg but is limping.... What can i do sir?

Good morning sir, you would place under observation, meanwhile get her calcium tablets and administer for 3 days and let's see the result. Meanwhile what led to the limping?

shox:
how do I get ivermectin?

Go to the nearest Vet clinic, they would thoroughly examine and guide you in administration sir

shox:
good morning. Please what’s the most effective drug in the treatment of mange in dogs

Good morning sir, it depends on the severity, breed and age. But so far Ivermectin has been proven to be very effective combined with Armitraz externally

kingsley18:
I have just Zito Oil booster. Please recommend the multivitamins and Vitamins C.

Go to a Vet pharmacy sir, I'm very sure you'll get something good

kingsley18:
None but this morning he ate a little bit of the chicken head and till now he has refused to eat anything, just to drink water and play around.

If you have multivitamins please administer and in addition administer vitamin C, they boost appetite and once his appetite picks up, make sure his food is mixed with vegetables and fruits

patholaw:
Indoors at nights but during the day dey move within the compound.

Okay send me a DM

kingsley18:
Good morning doctor, please I need your help, my 4 weeks GSD local mix has refused to eat any any other food including dog meal that was recommended by the vet. He only eats chicken head, fish and meat.

Which other symptoms are you observing

patholaw:
Good morning Doc. Have some goats that currently have catarrh & cough also looking sick. 1 of them breastfeeding is not even eating and have catarrh covering the nose and mouth... Please what can i give to them?

Good morning sir, is she kept indoor as in shed or exposed outdoor? That would guide me, but ultimately you may have to visit a clinic

Euphoria081:
Good evening doc, please my dog sustain an injury, though is not that's severe, and I also applied some first aid treatment. But I was advised to get antibiotics.
Pls which can I get that is effective in case of any infection.

Good morning sir, if the injury is not severe as you mentioned above, then you don't need to stress yourself with buying antibiotics. Normally antibiotics are prescribed when the injury is severe in order to facilitate wound healing and prevent secondary infection. So put your mind at rest sir

Lontrra:
Hello doc, I don't understand my almost 3 months old Lhasa Apso, it barely drinks water.

Good evening sir, sorry for the late response, sir what other symptoms are you seeing?

chigoziri2403:
Nigerians believe in first impression

We are easily carried away by titles

That's why I rarely do business with anyone that introduces himself as a pastor

Once you say you are a pastor, it's a red flag, they think that people would trust them once they present as clergy

Sincerely

RichyBangs:
He said he doesn't think it's pavor since her poop is ok and no sign of throwup The vet gave me multivitamins to give her

So we are on point, go ahead with the multivitamin. I'll be on standby

RichyBangs:
I got a pup which was doing well but selective on food she only eats canned food for dogs I decided to withdraw the canned food for some days and all of a sudden she just stopped eating even pap she will just take two licks and that's all I do use syringe to feed her pap and she just keeps to herself at a corner observing it's been going on for 5days now I hope the pup is ok any advice she has been to the vet

Good morning sir, I'm so sorry about what you are facing. Are you observing any other signs and symptoms? Also what did the Vet say? These would guide me in knowing what is wrong. Meanwhile get vitamin C and administer, that should boost her appetite

[quote author=Walexz02 post=111138811][/quote]Good evening sir, he has responded already sir, you can DM him for the location

websitegurufix:
The remaining one could not make it ( died this afternoon) so painful.

I'm so sorry sir, it's so painful to me. Please accept my sympathy

lanrekinfol:
Hello doc, my boerboel puppy has this hair loss and it is spreading gradually to almost all the parts of her body. One vet told me she has staph aureus, another doc said its just allergy. Please what can i do ?

Good morning sir, Staph aureus Allergy?? My brother this looks like mange. Get Armitraz® bath to fight the mange from outside, then follow up at a Vet clinic where further examination may be done and ivermectin administered. Update me on any development I'll be on standby

nolywe:
Ok I had to take her to the vet clinic coz her wee is so reddish as if it is mixed with blood...the doc touched her stomach and said she has infection and it has block the kidney valve that separates blood and urine...he will give her injections for 3 days...Thats my journey so far

Excellent sir, but did the Vet tell you the infection and the injection he administered? It is your right to know

Ungodly:
Help me: I have a Samoyed dog that is tick infested, please what can I use on the poor dog, I need all the ticks gone ASAP

I'm so sorry sir. Change location, Get fipronil spray and if possible get Bravecto® if you can afford it

websitegurufix:
Good day Doc. SeunH, My gsd gave birth today (5 puppies) and before i came back from church, she has killed 4 of the puppies (by bitten them to death) ... The remaining one is kept separate... I am danm sad right now.... What can i do to save the remaining one??
I bought nan milk and how am i going to feed her in a day?

Hope to hearing from you soon.

I'm so sorry sir, please accept my sympathy. The decision you took was the best, which was separation. The next thing I'll advise you to do is to stabilize the remaining one by tender loving care while you get milk replacers. Meanwhile observe the mother and once she is calm, gradually introduce the pup under strict supervision if possible. I'm so sorry once again, it happens like that sometimes which could be due to stress on the part of the bitch

Acefaruk:
Good day bro, just want to make an enquiry. Can a cat transfer any disease to someone maybe through it claws

Yes sir

Simran94:
So my stubborn and playful GSD will be 6 years by July 2nd, any special treatment or advice on how to keep an adult dog healthy?

Congratulations sir. Regular exercise, Good nutrition esp protein and vitamin, reduce calorie intake to avoid obesity, Regular visits to a licenced Veterinarian for check up and finally, tender loving care. I hope this helps

Doncolidon:
Hello Doc. How about 10 to 11wks old Gsd, is it okay to leave her all by herself for few hours while away at work? Thanks.

Good evening sir, it's better you get someone to atleast check up on her periodically while away, if it convenient for you.
