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

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

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

Very very helpful, thanks

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

seunH:
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.

I tried using the palm kennel oil but I noticed her two hands and legs have started piling off now. Hairs are removing. Pls what can be done. Mange is the only battling am facing with this dog at the moment.

No Sir

seunH:
No Sir

What u are saying is its not advisable to mate a dog at her first heat?

Wow

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

Mean her heat can come and go with out her vulvar swelling... Her 1st heat was obvious her vulvar was swullen, but since it was her 1st we skip it now the second one is not showing signs

Please can I have your phone number just in case of next time. Funny thing, this stud guys have collect money and be promising me that we should give them time it will lock, 3 days now my dog is with him no show

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

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

I think I made a wrong impression

What do I call "MULTIPLE DROPS OF BLOOD" Like they dropped at once and it looked like it poured��

Anyways I'll drop a pic next time when it happens again

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

Do you think you know everything about cats?.
There are somethings you haven't thought about. You may even have heard some misconceptions about cats which have been accepted as fact for a long time. LETDEMNO brings you these amazing facts about cats you probably didn't know.

I'm very grateful for the suggestion sir, I will do so once I get a substantial amount of participants on this thread. Thanks once again for the suggestion, and any other suggestion is highly welcomed.

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

2) which deworm medicine is good for Lhasa also

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

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
