Hey! My dog is lactating and it just started yesterday for the first time. She is on medicines for alopecia. Is it because of medicines?

It seems like she is suffering from pseudopregnancy. Its generally seen 1-2 months after heat period. Prevent her from licking her nipples by putting a shirt on her, as licking will stimulate more milk production. If the secretion is severe and other physiological symptoms like aggression/destress is observed then medicine like cabergolin might be required. For permanant elimination of the situation spaying can be considered but after the symptoms have subsided.

Hi. My Shih Tzu puppy is 2 months old. He currently has 4 to 5 meals i.e half a scoop of wheat apple cerelac and 1 scoop of puppy starter pack of royal canine . I have noticed when I increase the cerelac he scratches himself a lot. May be he’s lactose intolerant . So I increased royal canine but he doesn’t completely finish his meal as he can’t digest too much of it.His urine colour is dark yellow when he has only royal canine .I have to mix half a scoop of cerelac because he likes the taste . What about home cooked meals ? Any suggestions ?
