S
Swati Singh
I have observed her scratching and biting herself at times but not sure if she did it in these particular areas.
S
Swati Singh
She does scratch herself especially after she wakes up.

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
I feel it can be because self scratching of the pet

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
What medicines did the vet prescribed
S
Swati Singh
Wysolone 10 mg: 3 tablets in total (1 each for 2 days and a half for the 3rd day)

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Any other medication or that's it Any shampoos
S
Swati Singh
No. That's the only medicine prescribed. We use the shampoo 'Himalya, ERINA -EP tick and flea management ' for bathing her.

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Wherever these patches are there try to remove the hair for 1 cm radius and apply povidone iodine solution twice daily and also use mycosan shampoo to bathe her Keep the shampoo for 10 min and then wash
S
Swati Singh
Okay. Will follow this. Is it a concerning condition or is it because of self scratching?

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
I feel it can be because of self scratching as ur vet already ruled it out for bacterial and fungal infection What about demodicosis Did he rule out that too??
S
Swati Singh
Nothing was mentioned about demodicosis.

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
As the hair loss is near the eye and other parts of body it can be because of demodicosis also
S
Swati Singh
How can we treat that?

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
First we have to diagnose is it because of demodicosis or not then only we can start treating it for that To rule out demodicosis skin scrapping examination has to be done
S
Swati Singh
Okay. Should we go ahead with this examination if any new bald patch is observed?

Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Better to get it done as early as possible
S
Swati Singh
Okay. Will do.

Hello! My 4 month old Golden Retriever is not as fond of her food as she used to be. We give her pedigree puppy (chicken and milk) with a teaspoon of buffalo milk for flavour. She drinks the milk but refused to finish her kibble. What do you suggest we do?1 likesβ’6 commentsβ’238 views

Hi doctor my pet was dewormed 2 days earlier by my brother. His body weight is 8.5kg but my brother have him 12ml of deworming syrup by mistake. Since then he's not eating anything. There's no fever, vomitings, motions and he's active as well. Is this normal? Can you please suggest as he's not eating anything except treats.4 commentsβ’92 views
