Hi doctor, my male shihtzu 1.5 years old. He has many food irregularities. i am giving him rice along with chicken gravy. somedays he will complete the whole quantity and some days he won't even touch. I am changing gravy flavours as i thought he might be bored with same flavour but it's the same situation repeating. is it normal and can you suggest anything for this?

It is normal in the shihtzu pets, u can try giving him boiled vegetables and fruits and also to increase his appetite u can give hepamust syrup 3ml twice daily 30 min before food

I used to give him the syrup but then he started vomiting daily when i gave it. So i stopped it and boiled vegetables he is not eating. He's eating only raw vegetables .

If he vomits after giving syrup then no need to give that

Okay Doctor. And he used to have many skin issues. Then i gave him bravecto on my friend's suggestion. The night i gave him the tablet he was continuously panting but from next day he had no issues. Can I continue giving him the tablet once every 3 months?

No need to give that tablet if there are no ticks on his body

If he has these issues with the tablet to control ticks u can use spot-on and shampoo

Hi doctor, My dog Jerry is a scared puppy (4months old). It’s been 1 month we have bought him but till now he is resisting himself and not playful with others. He doesn’t go to anyone and shiver a lot. At home he is playful but sometimes still resists. In short it completely depends on his mood to come to us. We all are giving him lots of love and affection but still the playful side of his is not yet come out. What else should we do on this scenario ?
