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?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
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 .
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
That's also fine but cut it into small pieces and give
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
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?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
No need to give that tablet if there are no ticks on his body
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
If he has these issues with the tablet to control ticks u can use spot-on and shampoo

Hello, my 16 month old golden retriever seems to have developed a lump on the side just below his ribs. This is the first time I'm noticing it so it must have developed over the last couple days or so. It seems to be beneath the skin (nothing visible over the skin) and movable while examining. Could you please suggest what to do? It doesn't seem to pain or affect him at this point.7 comments•26 views
