Good Morning Seun,
Please can i take my puppies at 5 weeks? I wanted them to be with the mom till they’re 8 weeks but the owner of the female dog has some issues. Is it safe?

Ideally they should be with their mum for a longer period. But based on the prevailing circumstance you can take them, but ensure there are kept warm with their necessary supplements. Keep me updated

Steamworld:
My GSD of 2yrs, just don't eat for two days now, he vomits, his poop is watery, and he can't stand with his back legs, very weak.
Please, what medication should I give him, though have took him to vet shop but still the same

Good morning sir, so sorry for the delay. Get him Diastop and keep him hydrated pending evacuation the a veterinary hospital. Keep me posted on updates

Pls doc what can I give my baby dog having a watery stool and not eating enough…

They are three dogs actually I use to keep them in the same cage, one started bleeding from her anus very late at night on Saturday, by Sunday morning she was dead. I had to clean the cage and disinfect it. Now one of the other dogs seems to be losing weight, watery poo and she’s not really active. Please I don’t want to lose her like the oldest one, she’s about 3 month old. The other one is male and he’s about 6 months but not showing any signs of sickness yet. What drugs can I ister if a vet is not around or would take time to be available

Good evening Sir, any updates?

I am so sorry for the delay,I hope this still helps. First of all ensure that the vaccine record is up to date and were properly vaccinated. Secondly take all your dogs for a comprehensive test while you redisinfect your environment. Keep her hydrated while you await professional treatment from a veterinarian. I hope all these can sill help meanwhile I'll be on standby

Good evening Sir, try Amitraz bath and change or decontaminate the environment. Use it for 4 weeks then give me . The Amitraz usage should be according to manufacturers instruction. I'll be on standby.

Any updates on your pet's condition

Any of the human vitamin C? I've seen videos on TikTok giving their puppies human omega 3 and fish oil. Are those good?

Preferably Veterinary constituted Vit C, but Incase you don't see, human Vit C will suffice especially the white one.

gigdfhjjhvc:


Good morning sir, his movement is ok but limp sometimes wen he jumps. Tnx Sir pls wat worm medicine can I buy to give him?

Na wa me think sey dogs easy. My puppy is not eating well, I got him booster packs, I don try optimax, I don try noodles mixed with egg, meat, and also rice with milk egg, he just eats little. Like dis so I don tire.

I'm so sorry sir, it's like that in the beginning. For your pup give him Vitamin C while you prepare to take her for comprehensive check up. For the worm medicine just go to a good vet pharmacy and ask for a branded dewormer, they will guide you. I'll be on standby.

gigdfhjjhvc:
I got him on Sunday nd dis week made him 5weeks, saw he doesn't like cage nd cries all throug the night dat even we could not sleep. I den decided to lock him in the empty room last night so he could stay nd not bite stuff. Only for me to hear him knock nd cry on my door. Surprisingly, he ed through the under of the room door nd jumped down a step down(like the height of 2steps on a stairs) b4 coming to my door. I came out took him outside nd give him food cos he was crying. I went in to get his water bowl den heard a loud cry from him. Got outside nd saw he fell down from the varanda the height of 5 step nd land on a concrete floor nd could not stand properly, seems like he land on his left hand, he could not keep it on the floor. I am worried dat he has broken his bones, What should I do? If it's broken will it heal or it's a lifetime injury?

Good evening sir, I'm so sorry this is coming late as I just saw the post now. First of all try to minimize movement in the affected area, then take her to the nearest vet hospital for scan. All things been equal, bones heal in their own once properly aligned. I'll be on standby to guide you further.

Seun:

Give them more time to socialize as friends.

Exactly, that's a right step.

kushercain:
Hello, please my dog is having a nasty infection. This started some days ago. She stayed out overnight in tye compound which she doesn't normally do. I attached a picture of it. It wasn't like this before but seems to be getting worse.

It doesn't look like it's itching her but she keeps licking it

Please I am so sorry for the long delay. If it's still possible can I get pictures so as to have an idea of what is going on

bdj:
Morning Dr.,
It’s been a while. Trust that you are well?
I changed location and since then, I have been noticing a bruise on my dogs elbow. Picture is attached herewith.
Please what can I apply?

Good morning sir, it's been a while. If you don't observe any other symptom just simply get any over the counter antifungal/antinflammatory cream and apply over the affected area. I'll be on standby

We are debating this because we are in Nigeria. If you move abroad, go and shoot someone because you catch him having sex with your wife. If the sex is consensual, you will be tried for murder and probably get life sentence. If you like, hire Barrack Obama as your lawyer.

You can plead temporary insanity

AqualinaXYZ:
People never learn



If you’re seeing this and you’ve millions for investment please and please don’t invest in Nigeria you’ll cry blood



Otedola even advised Dangote not to invest in Nigeria but Dangote thought it was going to be business as usual



PLEASE DONT INVEST IN NIGERIA IT WILL BE A HUGE LOSS

Then you will later complain blame the government for unemployment

Morning Doc, I have a two week old pup (18 days actually) that’s been suffering from diarrhea since Thursday evening. I rushed out to get diastop but it wasn’t available so I was given an alternative “diarox”. I’ve been istering 2ml daily since Friday evening but there’s been no improvement. The pup is still energetic and he’s nursing just fine.

Good morning sir, we are assuming the drug is original and you are istering it properly. If yet you're still observing these symptoms, then the diarrhea may be caused by her feed which she maybe reacting to, or there is a microorganism in her system causing the diarrhea. Ideally the diarox should have been accompanied with broad spectrum antibiotics (e.g metronidazole or amoxicillin). At this juncture I'll advice you still check for Novax (a brand of diastop) and ask the pharmacist to recommend a good antibiotics for the digestive system, meanwhile start preparing to take her to the clinic where comprehensive tests would be carried out and the actual cause pinpointed and solved. I'll be on standby for

IceDune:


Dark stuffs in the ear. The only symptoms he shows is scratching the inside of the ear and shaking/flapping ears violently

It's possible we are dealing with Tinitis which maybe due to ear mites or bacterial infection or simply foreign body. You would need to visit a clinic where appropriate test to determine the cause would be conducted. You are likely to be istered antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs which may be in form of ear drop. I'll be on standby

alexalexalex:
Hello Dr please is this mange on my dog? I had to shave the hair when I noticed she was shedding a lot. How can I treat this

I advice you get Armitraz and use it to bathe her every 2 weeks. Then ister multivitamins especially rich in Vit C and B. Ensure proper environmental hygiene

Clevagal:


Thanks doc but you didn’t answer the first question. Please is he due for vaccination? Last time he took the dhpp and anti rabies was may 2023 (he was 3 months then). He’s 1 year+ now

He is due for anti rabies as it is annually. Sorry for the delay

Clevagal:
Good Afternoon Dr Seun and God bless you for all you do.

Please, i last vaccinated my dog May 2023 (shop and anti rabies). I lost his card and I don’t know when next he’s due for both vaccines. He’s 1 year and 3 months now. A Lhasa apso.

Also do you have an idea how much these vaccines cost now?

The price varies depending on location and I won't want to mislead you. But I'll advise you go to a standard veterinary clinic for the vaccination. I'll be on standby

sheggsliveth:

Pet shop is the best but Incase you don't see, you can use human

For now nothing he said he is going to have to take her for treatment of the Jaundice because i just noticed yesterday the the underneath of the dog is turning Yellowish and the eye is just starting to turn yellow. I dont know what to do currently I'm totally confused, please what medication do u think the vet should ister? (I just want to know so i can be updated along side my vet doc) Since Parvo is ruled out at least my fear of transmission of Parvo is on a safer side since it's jaundice

It depends on the type of jaundice, but put your mind at rest, all will be well. Send me a dm, so that I will give you my , perhaps we can discuss better.

majortwild:
Mr Seun Goof morning

Please come to my rescue since yesterday i noticed my 4 months old Boerboel puppy are showing signs of parvo , he didn't eat much and hasn't drank water (not to my notice) also the stool is a bit watery and his losing weight, my vet first advised me to deworm with Zentel which i did and no effect. Then he said i should give him vitamin E which i also did but this morning it's still the same no improvement. I have invited the vet doc over for treatment, but now here's my problem tho i have been using this vet doc since 2 yrs now which is the only vet doc around my side but unfortunately last year i lost a dog to him via say he didn't take it as serious as i thought. From my research u are meant to put the dog on IV fluid and other meds but he didn't put the dog on IV he only gave injection and oral drugs which didn't help until it grew worse and died. Please Mr Seun if there's any suggestions u have or any meds i can use to what the doc is doing please help me i dont want to lose this pup , the most annoying part is i dont take any of dogs out so I'm wondering how on earth it ed this virus , ever since the first 1 died i dont take any of my dogs out to mingle he said that parvo is airborne. Mr seun please help.

Update: the vet said the dog has jaundice, please what can i do

Good afternoon sir, and I'm so sorry about what is going on. You've done the right thing by taking her to the Vet where appropriate intervention would be done. Meanwhile you will need to disinfect your environment and ensure all your dog's utensils are sterilized. By the way what interventions has your Vet given so far so that I'll know how to come in

If only children knows what a real Father goes through to make things around the home work fine.... They will sing beautiful songs for their Dad.

The reason why people do sing songs of appreciation for their mum is mostly cos of the struggles that women go through are mainly physical and it's all seen in the eye. Women are creatures of emotion so it's easy for people to see their struggle through emotional side.

When we were little, whenever my Dad comes home from shop, sometimes he will be angry,sometimes he will be sad. In all the time, he always made sure we never lacked . When I came of age and started following him to shop, I found out that from morning till night he wont eat a thing. I thought he was fasting then. I never knew that he was starving so that we will eat. He was starving so as to be able to meet up family needs. Sometimes when we ask him for money or stuffs he will tell us off. We will become angry and meet our mum who will give us the money. I never understood all this until I grew up. Now I'm a man and I'm facing issues and see reasons why my Dad behaves the way he do then.

If u think a woman struggles more than a man, try ask a widow what she goes through then u will understand.

Do u know what it is to take care of yourself talkless of adding two, three, four people to yourself and be the sole provider of them all. Many will say women will do it. And I will tell u that 98% of women cant take care of a family without complaining when the Father is around doing nothing.

Word on marble especially the last part
