I gave first water bath to my pet when he was 3 months. Before that was using dry shampoo etc

Preferably not, you can give a full wet bath after 3 months of age. For now you can give a sponge bath or use some dry shampoo for cleaning.

Thank you Doctor, I am using dry shampoo, once in a week, is that frequency fine?

Yes please, once in a week should be fine. Sometimes cleaning too often can cause the skin to become very dry and that leads to secondary infections. With this it would also be important for you to brush your puppy regularly and trim the fur around the eye.

My cat vomited in the morning and then she hasn't eaten since. She went out and killed a bird though and brought it to me. Is she fine?

My dog has been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. She was pooping blood every 15 mins. She’s in hospital. Since last 23 hours she hasn’t pooped or vomited blood. Docs said if she’s fine till tomorrow evening she will be discharged. She is a 3 year old indie. Am very scared. Will this impact her longevity? Is there chance of it recurring? How can I prevent this
