Hello.
Please read through.
I came home last month and met this litte dog in the house(a Nigerian breed)
At first observation, the dog was too mild for an average puppy.
She lack agility, very selective in her choice of food, doesn't bark and so on.
Within those times she would always crawl close to the fire we make (firewood) outside the main house to warm up herself. it started gradually but it later turned to a habit because she couldn't do without being close to the fire. She would be shaking uncontrollably like she's feeling cold everytime she's not close to the fire. We later noticed some staggering movements from the way she walks, became worse as she sometimes fall while walking.
Right now:
*She can no longer walk.
*Her legs are totally paralyzed.
*From time to time she groans like she is in serious pains.
*From observation, i think she'd partialy lost her sense of smell.
*I noticed a little swelling under the snout very close to the neck.
*She just lye helplessly on the floor and she cried the whole night
Initially, i didn't had time for her, maybe because of her breed but i can't help seeing her current situation.
Her stool is still normal and whenever we tried holding her, she shouts in pain and pee on herself.
She doesn't have ticks but i see few of the normal lice.
She tried eating something today as i previously thougt she'd lost total apetite.
Please can you help in any way?

I don't think we can afford a vet. She did not even respond to the drugs they have her.

Thanks

Good morning sir, Im so sorry about your pups condition, to be sincere the best advice is for you to visit a vet clinic in which they would use a stomach tube to release the gas once they have confirmed that it's a case of bloat. Meanwhile you can reduce food intake a bit and gently massage the stomach while you're preparing to take her to the clinic. I'll be on standby

seunH:
Which other symptoms are you observing, and try to keep her warm and hydrated. I'll be on standby. Meanwhile was she involved in any strenuous activity or previous medication?

Thanks I took him to vet who administered some medication his back to himself now. Thanks for your response

It depends on several factors

Hello Doc. I have rabbits that are sneezing with cattarh. I have tried a few antibiotic powders and injections on a vets recommendation and they are not getting better. This is two months now and the sickness has spread from 1 rabbit to all 5. Pls what can I use? Or pls can you recommend a reliable vet around Ijanikin/Ojo/Oko-Afo /Morogbo? Thank you.

First of all ISOLATE, take any of the sick rabbits to a Vet clinic for test and medical prescription and final disinfect your surroundings. Ill be on stanby

Please don't use Rambo powder, it's dangerous. Get Bravecto® it's very effective, then clear your surroundings. You can also use Amitraz® too it's also effective and ensure you follow manufacturer's instructions

seunH:

The truth is that, there are many factors governing adminstration of dewormers and I have very few information about your dog, the reason for deworming, and even the dewormer that was prescribed to you. As for the age you don't need to worry yourself, drugs are dosed according to weight in Kg, so if a drug is 10mg per Kg, you would simply multiply the weight of your pet by 10mg, that would give you the amount you would administer irrespective of the age (except they have a special formulation for young pets) but must be done under the guidance of a veterinarian in order to avoid adverse reaction to the drug. If you had given me more information about your pet and the drug prescribed, I might have been able to help you more, but nonetheless I hope this helps.

please I need a male breed of this dog for stud service in ibadan.

Thanks Doc.

First of all Mr seun i want to specially appreciate u on how strong and steady u handle this thread also want to appreciate your time and effort, i read through ur thread and i was wowed how well u took ur time to answer almost all questions with proper advice.

I want to ask a vital question, How can one prevent Parvo in dogs? I lost 1 of my pup(GSD) last 2 months to parvo and the funniest part of it is i dont take the pup out at all , the second dog(Boerboel) got it prior to having the GSD fortunately she was cured but that was months ago so i was wondering how and why my GSD got it when it doesn't go out. Tho the Boerboel goes out on walks could it be she was the carrier and since she's immune to it as being a victim of parvo before then transmitted it to the GSD. Cuz now the Boerboel gave birth and I'm really scared of the Parvo thing so it doesn't get to its puppies

Thanks so much for the compliment, it's comments like this that encourages more efforts. First of all, your suspicion is correct, she may be a carrier. First thing first is for you to evacuate and scrupulously fumingate and disinfectant the whole environment and surrounding, explain to them what you are fumigating against so that they will know the appropriate chemical agent to use. Then ensure good nutrition and immune booster for your remaining pets, then ensure the suspected carrier is taken to the clinic for proper medical attention. I'll be on standby

Once again Mr seun i do honestly appreciate your replies ,u cant imagine how happy i am each time i see ur reply or comments on people's post . Thank you once again.

Can you help me with an effective immune booster i can get for my pet (The mum and the puppies) I'll contact some fumigation service so i can get my compound fumigated, also i thought parvo was airborne wont it have the possibility of returning to the environment even after fumigation?
