It's normal yellow poo,he has been like that since when he was a puppy now he is 6 months and still pooping that much.he eats once or twice a day.

Since you aren't seeing other symptoms, then you have nothing to fear. BTW, have you dewormed or vaccinated your dog?

Sir they said he ate rubbish on his daily walk and he vomited yesterday,so I thought antibiotics is a good idea to stop any sickness.

In that case, it will be better you go for a broad spectrum prophylaxis antibiotics like amoxicillin and please ensure you complete the dosage to avoid antibiotics resistance.

Myiasis (Mango fly infestion)

Introduction
A condition where flies lay eggs in a living animal or human's skin or cavities and the hatching eggs eat the surrounding flesh is called myiasis. This can be detected in eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin, alimentary tract, and urogenitals.

Causes
When some flies like mango fly, bow fly lay eggs on a living host or materials worn by the host
Species affected
All vertebrate animals including humans

Symptoms
1) Small reddish swellings
2) Bad odour from the affected area
3) Pus on the affected area
4) Weakness
5) You might even see the worm coming out

Diagnosis
The diagnosis of myiasis is made by the finding of fly egg in the tissue.

Treatment
Treatment is based on the manual removal of the egg, blocking the respiration of the eggs (some people use palm oil) and/or using egg antiparasitics chemicals. The eggs must be mechanically removed without breaking them. This needs clipping the hair around the area for better visibility and healing. The damaged area is then cleansed thoroughly. Removing dead tissues aids the healing process and antibiotics may be administered if necessary.

Prevention
To ensure prevention, environmental conditions should be clean and dry. No fecal or urine contamination of the hair coat is allowed. Any damaged skin should be treated carefully and weak animals kept indoors. Regular grooming and daily handling the dogs will reveal the myiasis quickly, and the treatment can be started without delay. For humans, ensure clothes spread outside are properly ironed before use

please how do I treat it?

Get an ascaricidal bath, like armitraz or cypermetrin and bath your dog with it. You can then supplement with Ivermectin in order to destroy the parasite from within. For prevention, ensure a clean and dry environment with regular vitamin supplements.

Pets › Re: How Much Do You Pay To Vacinate Your Dog by seunH: 9:38am On Oct 05, 2020

Emmanuelmosaku:
The price of vaccination varies just the same way there are different vaccines with different efficacy which cost differently. To also add the fact that location matters. You don't expect the vaccination of someone who used over half a million to rent his clinic apartment annually to someone who just used 100k to rent his apartment for 1 year. Off course all these factors play a major role.
And to those that think they can do it on their own, it's only a matter of time before it backfires as most of you think it's just about getting a syringe and the vaccine and you're as good as done. I'm a Vet and i have seen several cases where people administered drugs or vaccines on their animals and had to pay through their nose to correct the situation and worse off, the pet died.
Owning a pet isn't for everybody, its more like owning a child. if you know you're not financially ready to take care of a pet, then don't force it. Pets like dogs especially are for people who can comfortably take care of themselves, unfortunately most people in this part of the world purchase pets and then make them pass through hell all in the name of the money you want to make.

My submission.

Sir, if it were possible for me to dash you a thousand likes, sincerely I would do so. in fact I had to review all your post and give each a like. God bless you sir. You took the word out of my mouth. It is attitudes like this that makes them fall into the hand of quacks. Imagine here on Nairaland, someone claimed he could treat parvo for less than 500 naira, and a lot of people followed him !!!!!!

Pls Dr, how can I treat a caucasian puppy with wound on it leg. Some one advice to put ampiclox on d wound. Pls is it a good advice?

Good morning sir, please don't ever try that, I used to do that too before our surgery lecturer warned us against it, that it "cooks" the wound especially if its in powdered form. What you should rather do is this;
1) Debride the wound by cleaning with mild soap and cotton wool, some people use hydrogen peroxide, but hydrogen peroxide is corrosive hence not advisable
2) Then spray the wound with oxytet spray or apply GV to the wound

I will inbox you my WhatsApp contact, for further assistance. I hope this helps

[quote author=ambient post=94543063][/quote]I'm so sorry ma, this case its a very simple issue. What you'll do, is what we call "negative reinforcement", each time your dog bites anyone even if its playful, inflict pain (not excessive on your dog but slight beating with a cane or slight pinching), overtime your dog would learn to associate biting of your kids with pain, and because pain is undesirable to your dog, your dog would gradually stop the bad habit. I hope this helps!!!

it's called first aid.

Abdominocentesis by an untrained personnel is NOT FIRST AID, it is dangerous and can complicate the case. Can you vouch for the sterility of the needle, can you vouch for fidelity of the location to puncture. Please let's not encourage what is not simply because its an animal. Can you advise him to perform abdominocentesis on his sibling or family member?

davidhartley:
Am a vetirinarian an such condition is called Asities. It could either be a metabolic disorder arising from liver or kidney failure, it can also be parasitic when its caused by worms.
Use syringe to check if the fluid in the stomach is a clear one, if the fluid is clear like water, buy furosemide tablet and administer. It will enable your dog urinate the whole fluid out.
If the fluid is not clear, then you can consult the nearest vet clinic for further assistance.
Good morning.

Sorry bro, but you are advising a client without veterinary knowledge to conduct abdominocentesis huh

As at on Sunday my boerboel was acting funny , as at that period , I decided to speak to Dr seun
He ask me some few questions which was responded by me then he prescribed some drugs, on Tuesday morning I had to call again to inform him about the progress and what I felt was wrong from some of the new symptoms my dog showed, he asked for the steps taken when I noticed all this, which I responded then he recommend additional drug which finally stopped my dog vomiting issue bcoz he was already weak, I was already planning to Take him to the clinic for parvo test as suggested by Dr seun if no improvement that day becoz the symptoms ar closely related to parvo ie diarrhea, inappetence, lethargy, fever.
On that same Tuesday afternoon/evening my dog started responding to treatment, by next day my dog was able to gather little energy after hand feeding him and he eat with out vomiting for the very first time since on Sunday morning
To cut story short, on Thursday my dog was fully ok bcoz he was already barking and charging @ one of our guest, his urine was normal unlike before that it was dark yellow, appetite was back to normal.
I just want to use this medium to say a very big thank you to Dr seun bcoz if not for him and God I don't what could have happened to my dog.

You will be on your own trouble will just meet you

To my people saying autopsy, do you all know that autopsy may not be her saving grace but can even put her in more trouble. There are some disease conditions that can be aggravated by consuming a particular type of food or drink. My people, if that is the case, autopsy would simply show that he died of condition XYZ after consumption of food ABC, which happens to be from her restaurant. Although this shouldn't be an issue, since there was no way she could have known, but trust Nigerian police, they are likely to make an issue out of it and if they cannot not pin murder on the fiancée, they may attempt to pin manslaughter. In this case what you need is a VERY good lawyer, if not !!!!!!

Thanks Boss, I really appreciate, I'll surely take to your advice when I get the puppy. I'd still be grateful if you still send the vaccine schedule.

That is the vaccination schedule below, there may be slight variation, depending on the Vet and other peculiar conditions

6 — 8 weeks Distemper, parvovirus
10 — 12 weeks DHPP (vaccines for distemper, adenovirus [hepatitis], parainfluenza, and parvovirus)
16 — 18 weeks DHPP, rabies
12 — 16 months DHPP, rabies
Every 1-3 years- Rabies
Every 1-2 years- DHPP

I'm so sorry sir, but from my observation, your dog is not well. If you look around the eye area, you could see areas of alopecia and the coat is rough and gradual emaciation. First I'll like to know if you've dewormed? If you have then I'll advice you to treat ectoparasitic infestation and support with Vit B complex and Vitamin C and let's watch the outcome. I hope this helps

Pets › Re: Talk To A Veterinarian by seunH(op): 10:04pm On Sep 14, 2020*

Well done Sir,
Will be glad if you enlighten me,
I intend getting a puppy soonest, from my little research, when one gets a new puppy, I read that one should vaccinate and deworm the puppy.
Sir pls what does vaccination entails, can you explain in clear terms and if possible cost to vaccinate a puppy
Also is it possible to have a dog free of sickness and diseases, if yes, what can one do to have a healthy dog

Congratulations in advance sir, having a dog is a very wonderful experience but for you to enjoy this experience several factors has to be in place. First of all, you should ask yourself, why do you want to have a dog? is it for companionship, security or breeding business? That will determine the managemental system you want to use, for example intensive, semi intensive etc. The next thing is the dog's welfare, Our professor in school used to tell us that "what is convenient for you is also convenient for animals and vice versa, always put these animals in your shoes and you'll get the best out of them". Hence you must vaccinate, in order to prevent them from vaccinable diseases like parvo, rabies etc (I'll send you the vaccine schedule later). The price of the vaccine varies and I can't use my clinic to judge since the vaccines there are heavily subsidized (Government owned clinic). But if you want to vaccinate, I'll advice you go to a Government owned vet hospital (Its cheaper and safer).
Then you must also deworm, in order to prevent intestinal parasites (worms) which may cause harm to your pet, deworming is very cheap but ensure you use Albendazole based dewormers like worm off® etc.
Lastly if you follow all the above points and in addition keeping your environment clean with your pet eating a good and nourishing foods with regular checkups by a vet, God willing you will raise an healthy dog that won't give you hassles. I hope this helps

I am afraid you are the one misleading the public here. Nobody is disputing the effectiveness and absorption rate of injections. You said you are not familiar with other forms of ivermectin and I told you about others and the one I prefer. You vets are quick to pull out syringes at the slightest opportunity without using other simpler methods or looking at the effect on the animal and the owner. It's not everyone that has access to a vet or the cut throat charges they force on people just to treat something as trivial as a tick or mite infestation.

Sincerely my brother I now understand, especially the last part. But I also want you to know, that as Veterinarians our priority is a save life and minimize suffering of animals. Our methods of treatment are not subjective or speculative but based on tested and trusted methods under the guidance of learned professionals. If a qualified Veterinarian tells you ivermectin inj is the best based on the situation on ground, you just have to take it like that because legally my brother you don't have the right to prefer and come on social media to show your preference as the best, its only a vet that can do that, which is even subjected to ratification by senior colleagues. You can only discuss your preference with your vet and he/she may find a way around it.

If you are truly a vet and you analyze permethrin like this after recommending cypermethrin then, I am disappointed and ashamed for you. DDVP (Sniper) and (Cy)permethrin are different classes of insecticide. Permethrin is only toxic to fish vertebrates and cats. Other than that, it is safe. Sniper is plain poison.

My dear brother, you have been corrected by a qualified professional, simply gain knowledge and move on. Read my post again, I never said Rambo is not effective against ectoparasites, what I said was that the formulation of Rambo as an insecticide is not designed for topical use rather for use on inanimate objects because of the high concentration of permethrin in it, which can be dangerous to your pet if applied topically. But if you insist that permethrin is harmless, next time your neighbour's child has scabies or lice, advice him or her to buy Rambo powder and rub it all over the child's body or you can spray a whole can of any insecticide of your choice (rambo, baygon etc) lock the windows and doors and stay inside and let's see the outcome. The reason I used Sniper as an example was to show the possibility of insecticides causing harm by passing through the skin. Legally I'm not supposed to have this argument with you except you a qualified veterinarian but for the sake of preventing innocent pet owners from falling victim I decided to engage you.

Ivermectin comes in injectable, oral liquid and tablets. The injectable is the least preferred for me.

My dear brother, your preference is subjective, and my duty as a Veterinarian is to proffer standard solutions based on generally accepted treatment methods which has been tested and trusted. I still insist that I have never heard of Ivermectin bath (dissolving Ivermectin in water) as preferred method over injection, that is even if it exists. In pharmacology, the fastest and most effective route of drug administration is via injection (IV/IM/SC). Hence your preference does not change the efficacy. Please let's be guided to avoid misleading the public.

Nothing wrong with piff paff (Rambo powder). It's permethrin. The only downside I see is that it's powder so it won't last on the dog as it will shake it off.

My dear brother, please don't mislead innocent pet owners based on speculation. Permetrin is a dangerous chemical if used indiscriminately. The concentration of permethrin in Rambo powder is very high because its not designed for topical use rather for use over inanimate objects. When you apply Rambo powder on your pet, you run the risk of your dog licking the raw powder, you run the risk of your pet inhaling it, you run the risk of it been absorbed into the your dog's skin at lethal doses especially if there is an open wound/ bruise leading to it getting absorbed directly into the blood stream, all these can lead to neurological effects which may include convulsion, coma or even death. I hope you remembered the case of the girl whose mother attempted to used sniper to kill lice on her hair and ended up killing the girl !!!. Please to the general public let's follow due process with regards treating our pets and avoid short cuts.
