Thank you

But sir, I'll love to ask you, what do you think is the way forward, because obviously we cannot continue like this

backbencher:
Because, as I said, the money does not come from Nigerians directly.

If the money came from Nigerians directly in the form of taxes, by now those leaders would have been in jail.

But because the money they steal comes from oil revenue, that means that when the revenue comes in, they just steal what they want and share the rest to us.

Also, because Nigeria is not a manufacturing based soceity, there is no incentive to keep power and so on working since it is not the basis of our income. Just bring out oil, share the money, and whoever is sharing the money chops his or her own.

It's people like the both of you that keeps me glued to nairaland, check out intellectual debate, Respect to the both of you!!!

meks007:
Good afternoon house, sorry for derailing.
can anyone recommend any economical or home made meal for my puppy Bruce. He does not like dry dog food that much.

Good afternoon sir, you can try rice mixed with carrots and boiled meat or egg, or rice mixed with beans is also okay but please ensure you add either boiled meat or fish or egg. I hope this helps

CommandosKennel:
Hello sir,

A friend of ours has a plus 2 years old male Lhasa Apso who is seemingly uninterested in mating females in heat even when the dams don't resist or act aggressive towards him.

Sometimes he tries to mount females and trust but would lose interest after few attempts. He also don't like being assisted during mating as he will simply growl and leave.

His last successful tieing during mating was about 7 weeks ago but the female is clearly not pregnant.

You can imagine what the assumption is.

Please what could be the reason for this problem and how can it be corrected.

Good evening sir, how are you today? Please can to tell me the chief complaint, what exactly is the problem, so from there we move up. I'll be on standby sir

Crownking009:
Please Doctor.
which deworm medicine is good for Lhasa apso puppy? I have Zolat ( Albendazole )
.
.
.
.
which human Vitamin can I give my 2month plus Lhasa?

I notice my dog is reducing is size mere looking at it recently... And she eats, though not very well

Good morning sir, Zolat is very good sir. For the human vitamin, I'll prefer you get a multivitamin syrup specially formulated for pups from a pet shop. For the reduction in size, let's first see the outcome of the deworming before we determine the next step

Crownking009:
Dr. SeunH please I have a Lhasa of 2month. The dog fur is white and brown but as she's playing around is getting dirty I have bathed the dog twice but the white is not clean enough please what should I do

Good morning sir, Don't bother yourself, just keep bathing her normally, over time she would go back to her original fur colour if she is naturally white. Please my dear brother, don't be tempted to use bleaching soaps or chemicals to induce whiteness, they usually damage the skin on the long run. I'll be on standby

Walexz02:
Hi Dr. My dogs puppies sleep beside chicken cage. I discovered this night that they have plenty lice on their skin, please how do I treat this considering they are still young

Good morning sir and sorry for the late response. First of all, you'll have the change location, else recurrence would occur. Secondly get an acaricidal drug for pups from any pet shop. Please avoid Armitraz for now because of their age. I'll be on standby

Henuell:
Early this morning the spots of blood were many and much thicker,it pours a lot now

Pour?, please snap and send, let me get a picture of what is wrong

odoemena2020:
Please can a bitch come on heat and go with out the vulvar swelling? Also she still drop blood at day 14 and the vulvar is not swellen and not receptive.
Could it be that the time to breed her have pass or it is yet to come. Because I was meant to understand that they start allowing a male from day 9 to 14, since we waited the vulvar did not swell we started keeping her together with the male from day 13, since then the male have been trying to mount her but she is refusing today is day 15

Good morning sir, it's looking so ie the heat period where she would be receptive has passed, but let's still wait and watch to be very sure. Next heat period, update me so that I'll guide you

Henuell:
OK sir
Tnx a lot

Anyways she's gonna be clocking 1 year this month ending so is it safe if she meets a male at her first heat?

No Sir

Henuell:
Hello doctor

Not quite long today I noticed 2 drops of blood on the floor the I looked at her vulva and I saw a very thick blood on it is this heat or

Pictures below

Good evening Henuell, how are you? I suspect heat, but I'll like us to place her on close observation. Update me on any development, I'll be on standby

hugokeyz:
Please can you chat me on WhatsApp with this 08136301729 since you can't share yours here. Thank you.

I've messaged you sir

OsazeDee:
Hello Doctor SeunH

I have been following up on this thread and I want to say a big thank you for the selfless service.

So far this would be my first time asking and I just want to clear some doubt.

When we talk about a dog’s growth, what role does consistency play over the quantity of feed given to a dog?

Thanks

Please I also sent a mail as I would appreciate being in direct contact with you.

Good afternoon sir, you're highly welcome sir. Both play a significant role in the growth of a dog. But my bias is towards quantity. If the quantity is low and it's given regularly, the growth would be retarded because the dog won't get the sufficient nutrients it needs for growth. On the other hand if the quantity of feed is normal but not given in a consistent manner, there are chances that the dog would have catabolized some of it energy reserve hence slowed growth and also may make the dog predisposed to disease condition. I hope this helps

childgodlyyy:
Thank you so much. Furthermore, she has been really acting up lately. I’ve tried all sorts of dry food to no avail. She is really doing shakara. I can’t feed her with can food alone. Even when I try to make rice or any other handmade meal she rejects it. It’s only that can food she is eating now. If I mix it with the dry food she finds a way to separate it. I’ve tried withdrawing the can food altogether so that she is not too used to it but she won’t eat anything else and I feel bad so I usually give it to her again. She don spoil finish. She’s perfectly healthy though. No changes in her behavior apart from that food matter.
I’m a lady by the way.

Lolzz, it happens like that at times, or would you prefer I prescribe some multivitamins for her in order to boost her appetite, so that she won't have time for "shakara"?. But as I said earlier, put your mind at rest and please add fruits/Vegetables to her diet esp carrots and spinach, they also boost appetite and immune system naturally. I'll be on standby

childgodlyyy:
Hi everyone, I have a question about my Lhasa Apso. She’s 9 months old and I noticed she hasn’t come on heat yet. At a point I did notice that her vulva was swollen but there was no bleeding. I heard that sometimes there is a silent heat and the blood that comes out is little or none and that she might have licked it up. This would be her first time coming on heat so is it normal for it to be silent? I just want to be sure everything is okay. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.

Good evening sir, please put your mind at rest, you have nothing to worry about, provided you ain't seeing any abnormal signs and your pet is fine. Silent heat could occur occasionally and they vary by specie. Please don't hesitate to call my attention, if you notice anything off

Cutezt:
Where can I get an xray for dogs? Cos I doubt my vet has that. The leg is just dangling up and down, I'm so sad, I'll be very unhappy if they have to cut the leg.

I'm really sorry sir, all will be well, where do you stay Sir, so that I'll recommend. But you can also ask your Vet, he should be able to recommend too. You can DM me, I'll be on standby

Cutezt:
Hello sir, I was able to get a good snap of the leg when it was being dressed again. Here is it, she eats fine and seems to be moving around more than she used to at the earlier stage of the Injury and she now sits and lie more but I'm still worried about the leg.

Let conduct an X-ray to get a true picture of things, update me ASAP

doctoradekokolo:
I hate it when Nigerians idol-worship their (pseudo) revered men of God by using them as a case study in every situation they have to make, or as a point of reference. Neither science or religion (spirituality as it may be) can or has proven that man and wife tend to resemble their selves after a duration of time or conditions may warrant. I don't mean insults here, just my candid opinion.

As a scientist sir, we should not be blind to knowledge where ever we may find it even if it is the church. What I said is a scientific hypothesis that can be subjected to scrutiny. And holes can be picked and discussed, that's science for you. By the way I'm a Muslim sir

It's true, please examine the picture between Pastor Adeboye and his wife, also look at the picture between Pastor Oyedepo and his wife, you'll see that the OP has a point. Although there is scientific reason to that, which I'll explain, our physiology lecturer once told us about a hypothesis called "Brain Compartmentization" whereby the brain arrange informations into different compartments. When people get married or are together for long, you as an individual tend to store those people (couples) in the same "compartment" in the brain for easy retrieval of any information surrounding them. After a long time due to constant storage and retrieval, there is tendency to associate/coalesce them together hence seem to look alike, which may actually be an illusion. Same can be seen between parent and children at times or the way we associate a particular smell to a particular event in the past. Please the above is an hypothesis subjected to further scientific ratification.

Thanks almost 5years ago I got the German Shepard,I only spotted the ovulation once ,but cos I didn’t pay much attention was told that’s when was suppose to take it for mating.4 years on now been checking nothing so pls need ur advice

I'm so sorry about what has happened. In this condition, I'll advice you take your pet to the hospital, they would conduct a thorough examination on your pet then advice you on the way forward. I suspect they'll place your pet on hormonal therapy depending on the outcome of the examination. Meanwhile I'll be on standby

147hamzat:
Good sir what could be cause of this mange I treated her last month and this is still coming back again, itching and lost of hair

Good afternoon sir, you'll have to change the environment to a clean, less damp environment. Meanwhile get the Amitraz® I said above and administer one a week, weekly for a month due to the severity. Then get an anti-ectoparasitic ointment from both human or vet shop, then apply on the area. Meanwhile se your Vet if an IV anti-ectoparasitic is applicable. Update me on any development.

motcom:
Pls I hav a German Shepard of almost 5 years now haven’t been able to detect her ovulation period.

Good afternoon sir, please I didn't really get much information from the above, give more details and history of the problem so I'll know how to help you. I'll be on standby

hugokeyz:
Good day sir. My dog has a mange which got worsened and spread through to the ears and back. Now she's on heat I took her for crossing and left her with my vet to take care of it and continue with the mating.
But before then I was applying palm kennel oil and it keeps worsening what do I do
Secondly I hope after mating, the merge won't cause any form of miscarriage during her pregnancy.
Please I await your swift response I also sent you a mail also sir. Thanks

Good afternoon sir, I'm so sorry for the late response, First I'll advice you to get this bath called Armitraz®, dissolve it in water and bath your dog once a week, then once in two weeks then monthly. Then you can also tell your Vet to administer an anti-ectoparasite drug after evaluation. Meanwhile you can get an anti-ectoparasitic ointment to rub on the area pending when you get the above. Please update me and I'll be on standby. On pregnancy, let's focus on the mange first, pregnancy is secondary, but hopefully, it won't affect.

Cutezt:
Thanks sir, a splint has been put on the leg already so I can't get a very good shot, tho the watery substance comes just once a while but here is a picture.

Also, she hardly ever sits or lays down, she is always standing, sometimes she sleeps while standing, I have to lay her down myself before she will lay down.

Good morning sir, I'm so sorry once more. Sir I fear the area may have been infected, but there is a solution. But before I continue, please is your "Vet" a confirmed Vet or "hmmmm"?. Because this procedure requires a licensed Vet, if not, the end may not be good. If confirmed, the area should be re-examined and re-dressed also administer an antibiotic and a pain reliever with anti-inflammatory properties. Meanwhile an X-ray of the area is nessary to get a full picture of what is going on. Since this is a serious case, I'll drop my whatzapp contact for follow up

Cutezt:
Good evening sir, my 7 months old American eskimo dog fell from the steps and she has been having difficulty walking with the left hind leg, she can't put it on the floor anymore, I contacted a vet doctor and he suggested I buy a drug, Dolomat B or so and give half to her, and also, he came and put a splint on the leg, yesterday, but today, I noticed a colorless fluid dripping occasionally from the swollen leg, please do you have any suggestions on what I can do to stop it?

She still moves around, tho not as active as she used to be, but she moves and responds to her name and wags her tail too, she eats very well for now but I'm concerned about the fluid, please any suggestions?

I'm so sorry about your pet's condition. Please can I get a snapshot of the diseases area so as to get a clearer picture of the problem and suggest a better diagnosis, I'll be on standby.

WoundedLamb:
Please, akara is not bean cake. Akara is akara. Regardless of the fact that Nigeria is an anglophone country, you don't need to translate the names of your local delicacies. It's like translating your Igbo/yoruba name. Let's stop this effort to completely wipe away our identity. Croissants retained its name even though it's eaten all over the world, shawarma is shawarma, etc. Why anglicize ours? When you go to a diverse city, people get intrigued/fascinated by the unusual names of the foods sold in the restaurants and they ask questions regarding the origin. I don't see how the name "bean cake" makes our dear akara more interesting.

Pistachio, Nachos etc are Mexican delicacies and still retain their real Mexican names anywhere in the world not "Englishsized". But we Africans would want to change everything, let them change "Jollof rice" nah?

TheLoanGuy:
Good evening boss.

The vet that saw him today said it is mange and asked if I have bathed for him at all and I told him no.

He said I should give him a thorough bath under the sun. So I'll be doing that tomorrow and apply the lotion and cream once he's dry.

Thank you.

Excellent sir, please keep me updated

TheLoanGuy:
Thank you.

Good evening sir, how far, were you able to confirm your diagnosis?

dominique:
Are you sure that person is a certified vet? A lot of Nigerians decorate themselves with titles they don't have proper training or certification for. Why not turn on your Google maps and search for vets around your location?

@SeunH can you help out here pls?

Good evening, please your broiler was "sick", sickness could mean different things, you would have to assist us with the nature of sickness, symptoms, history etc before accurate diagnosis can be made before we now talk about treatment. So for now he should expansiate more, so that it would be easy for me to be of help

TheLoanGuy:
Hi SeunH,

Please what do you think this is on my puppy's fur and skin? I noticed he has been shedding a lot of fur and he itches a lot.

There's now a visible patch on his ear and back.

Good evening sir, it looks like mange, but you always get a second opinion to confirm but I strongly feel it's mange!

J0nyb0y:
Thank you. What's GV please?
