Hi doctor i noticed a patch on the skin(on leg) of my dog. It's only in that place, there's no such thing in other places. Can you please suggest anything. Attached the image.

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

I would like to share the tiny journey of our 10 week puppy. The Beagle puppy came home to us when it was 5 weeks old.No doubt with a very chic look--black,ebony ,white shoes,socks and tail. A small,yet muscular body,drooping ears and eyes so wise,sometimes look worried about some problem it has on its mind. We have not finalised it's name,the running name being Theo(God or divine). Sometimes it just feels that this is a little devil--very sharp teeth,a high pitched,yet flat yelp and a lunge that goes straight to my slippers,socks and our elder dog's Skippy's nose.It has been yelled at for chewing his tail,his long cocker spaniel hair and ear. But when Theo cuddles up and sleeps for an hour in the afternoon it sure feels like heaven. His appetite has been remarkable--from day one,I have been giving him--Boiled egg,both yellow and white, Cerelac Baby food( as Sudheendra pets was feeding him and his sisters cerelac) I started giving him minced chicken with rice twice.His weight increased to 4kg from 2kgs
