Don't mind these people...

It's only among low self-esteem and petty Nigerians you see such nonsense.

Even Veterinarians are fully addressed as Drs abroad... Try it here in this third world nation, and see our esteemed and all-knowing physicians embark on indefinite strikes.

Sir I'm a bit confused here, there is no where in the world Veterinarians are not called not called Drs even in Nigeria. Since 1963 when veterinary medicine was founded in Nigeria, veterinarians have been called Drs, same with other African countries. We veterinarians don't problem with the title because unlike others except MBBS/Dentistry, our title isn't just a professional title, it describes what we do. But for optometry, some countries don't allow the Dr title especially UK, I guess that's where there is confusion.

DeLaRue:
A 'Social Work' degree from Nigeria will not get you a job in that field abroad.

Please ignore those advising you it will be lucrative in Tokyo, Australia, and Peru etc

It is not a good thing to say, but if I was going to University in 2023, I will not choose 'political science' or 'social work.'

You need to study a subject that will give you a good chance of securing a job when you graduate.

If I was in your shoes, I would rather spend my next few years like this:

1. Learn furniture making at a good company for 2 years or however long it takes to become competent.

2. As that is going on, I will register with Open University and study a course. If I absolutely want political science, then I will study it there.

You will graduate with a degree at the same time as your mates who attend a regular university, but you will already be making money 2 - 3 years before them.

Boss, this is a strong food for thought. It needs to be posted everywhere

Actually, Mondays in d east are created by ipob for their armed wing---- kidnappers, assassins and robbers as officially free days to perpetrate criminality.I hope his gods fight for him, cos easterners have used their hatred to sideline police. Police can never give easterners listening ear when they report crime anymore

more like purge day

Creeza:
okay i will update you. I will procure the eye drops later in the day

But in the meanwhile, i have B_complex and E tablets for dogs. Can i give her that before buying the vitamin c?

Yes you can sir

Creeza:
okay i will wait

Alright I'm back, you'll get the following over the counter medications, if she is experiencing pain you can get Diclofenac eyedrop it has both pain reliving and antiinflammatory properties, but if no pain you can get Dexamethasone eye drop. Then you'll also get gentamicin eyedrop for the infection be it primary or secondary. The. Vitamin C and B complex to support. Meanwhile try to gently wash the affected eye with warm water in order to remove any debris. I'll be on standby

Creeza:
pus like secretions around the eye especially early mornings

As well as dizziness and general restlessness. It makes him cry incessantly especially at night or morning and honestly speaking its sad to watch

The eyelids tissue seem to be tearing into two

Swollen eye sockets especially at the up and signs of insect bite. I hope its not a bee sting

Im so sorry sir. I'll prescribe some antibiotics that have antiinflammatory properties in form of eye drop. I'll be with you shortly

Ezepikin:

Thanks so much, I've already started fumigation on the cage and will likely think of a replacement in 3 months or more. Please recommend the Ascaricide you mentioned.

Bravecto® or Nexguard® is very good. For prevention you can get fipronil® spray

Creeza:
Please help me... Whats this affecting my pet's left eye?

I'm so sorry, please which other symptoms are you observing?

seunH:
I'm really sorry sir. It's very possible sir. I'll suggest you fumingate and clear the surrounding. Then get oral ascaricide, I'll prescribe one for you. I'll be on standby

Ezepikin:
Thanks for all the insight...
I want to ask, I lost two dogs last week and they just died suddenly.. My 8 weeks old Boerbel died and her mother a year old died same day. The symptoms show vomiting, trembling, growling, stooling and peeing, very very weak not able to stand. We couldn't take her to the vet cos of the sit at home ịn the East. He asked me to give oral drip but the dog later died.
I got another puppy last weekend and it died this morning with same symptoms. I noticed ticks all over which we have tried to remove anytime it's sighted.
Is it possible for ticks to have killed all three dogs just like that.? They were never sick, just showed this symptoms overnight and died almost immediately. Pls help throw more light. Thank you.

I'm really sorry sir. It's very possible sir. I'll suggest you fumingate and clear the surrounding. Then get oral ascaricide, I'll prescribe one for you. I'll be on standby

mykemiley:
Hello Doc. My dog is loosing all the hairs on its body, please what could be the cause of it? And what is the solution? Thanks.

Hi, let me see pictures

Daveconstructs:

Hello sir. I couldn't get your mail. I'm guessing you didn't send because you don't live in Akure. I just want to update you sir.

I urgently got a vet yesterday because the stomach got more bigger. The vet gave her some injections then told me to administer mismag for her twice every day.

I think the Dog improved but the only worry for me is the dog had a little blood come out of her butt yesterday and this evening also. And she's not eating at all tonight.

I'm so sorry sir, was very busy yesterday. I have mailed you my number so that we can talk better

Daveconstructs:

I sent you a PM sir. I live in Akure.

Seen

Daveconstructs:

I'm 90% certain it's fluid sir.

Okay sir, we will have to evacuate the fluid and prevent future occurrence. You can DM me the area you reside.

Daveconstructs:

I think it's bringing out an echo sound sir.

You've tried I'm really impressed. Now try and palpate (feel) the stomach, do you feel any solid, or it seems empty or it seems as if fluid. Whatever the situation, I'll dm my number to you, you've really done well

Daveconstructs:

From upper view it looks like it's finally getting fat but it's actually the stomach that's getting filled.

Okay, take a small hammer or spoon and gently tap the stomach and closely take a listen. Tell me what you hear, is it echo sound or solid sound etc?

Daveconstructs:

I'll try to get somewhere that I can do a scan. Tbh, just need anyone to tell me what it could be apart from Ascitic fluid. So I can be at least a bit optimistic. Even if it's 10% optimism. Cuz I'm totally weak as it is.

Calm down, everything is going to be fine, put your mind at rest. Send pics if you can

Daveconstructs:
Hello I have a female Boerbel that's almost 2 years old now. And recently I suddenly started noticing the stomach getting bigger everyday. It's nothing crazy but it's obvious it's suddenly different in few days.

Back story: I'm totally worried because I had a German shepherd with the same issue that ended up dying due to Internal building while the vets were trying to drain the stomach.But this German shepherd had eaten a drug that directly attacks the liver(broke into the house and kitchen at night) that was meant for rats when it was small so I totally understood why it'd have that issue months later. That was the only time we ever used that drug.

I want to believe I can't be so unfortunate to have another dog develop that type of issue just few months later.

Please what can cause a sudden increase in stomach size in a Boerbel?

I'd have suspected pregnancy but there are no changes in the breasts. It's all still tiny.

Please I need help.

Have you done scan sir?

Exactly my thoughts

waleyp:
I’m actually in a confused state right now ! What is the disease that causes a dog not to lactate after birth called ? Because I have an issue here and it’s gonna be a long talk

Calm down sir, everything is going to be fine. What exactly is the problem, talk to me

waleyp:
doc can you discuss in details what METRITIS in dogs are
because i have a situation here and i dont want to experience such again

This is inflammation of the womb which can be due to bacterial infection. It can be prevented and at the same time cured. Ensure proper hygiene and also ensure that the stud for mating is free from disease

xareal:
Please is it true that siblings cannot be mated?

Its possible but not advisable

GeneralDae:

Of a truth this double nomination thing was their strongest case because courts hardly play with double nomination. If SC has dismissed this then I dunno what the opposition wants to pin their hope on.

You're right, even Ahmad Lawan won narrowly based on technicalities

QuotaSystems:
Without seizing the SS/SE traditional PDP votes from Atiku using Obi, it would have been difficult if not impossible for Tinubu to win, especially with the extreme disenchantment with the APC due to the hardship from the naira & fuel shortage crisis.

Without Elupee, PDP would have won the SE,SS,NE and a good chunk of the NC & SW.

The other side of this story is how Tinubu effectively deployed Kwankwaso to suck up the nearly 1 million votes that would have accrued to PDP in Kano without making a dent on the final result.

May God bless the hands of every Nairalander that felt renting a house for $150k is a waste of money.

And for those of us that quickly did the conversion, may God bless us to earn in foreign currency.

For those that would still want to form strong head and say I'd rather build my house than rent a house for that amount, may God elevate you to the level where paying that amount will be like paying this 700k that you're currently paying as rent.


While you're paying 700 to 1m as rent, your gateman too is seeing you as someone who is wasting money. In his mind, if I get this money wey Oga dey use pay rent, I for Don build my house since.

Life Na level by level...

God bless you sir especially the last part. Let me quickly drop this to show the level of poverty in our country. I had a bicycle that my children used to ride, so I decided to give it to my poor neighbors at least make the children get something to make them smile and happy. Can you believe what they did to the bicycle? They sold it !!! Even the school bag I got for them, they also sold it !!! The children carry their books in their hands. To them, bicycle and school bag for the children is a waste of money.

odiagabros:


I sincerely appreciate your swift response, God bless you. Kindly prescribe a good pain reliever and calcium supplements.

Get to a vet pharmacy and dm me

odiagabros:


Good afternoon Sir

Please find attached

Excellent sir, you've done well. I can observe a compacted fracture, hence put your mind at rest. Just rest her, avoid pressure and force to that particular area. Then give her pain relievers if she is encountering pain, also give her calcium supplements and multivitamins too. I'll be on standby
