HOW TO REMOVE A TICK FROM YOUR DOG

Ticks are creepy insects that carry and spread diseases to both humans and animals, including Lyme disease, tick fever, Q fever, and more. In order to reduce or prevent disease, you must properly remove a tick as soon as it is discovered and dispose of it appropriately.

Here is how to remove a tick correctly:

The proper way to dislodge the tick is it with tweezers. Go at the tick more from the side than the top. Try to get the tweezers between the skin and the tick's jaws, and gently pull, by moving the tweezer a little with a side-to-side motion. A steady pull over a few minutes time, will usually tire out the tick enough to release its grip. Be gentle, yet firm. otherwise tick may leave its mouth part in your dog's body and that will be a serious problem. You should pick the mouth parts out like a splinter. if you are not sure enough, take the help of your vet to ease the dog.

HOUSE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY

There are three three things to consider during puppy house training - observant, consistent and patient.
1. Puppies smell the last place they did their business. Sniffing the ground to find their mark is part of dog behavior. Once you notice it, distract him and take him out as soon as possible. Your attitude and being observant is part of puppy house training.
2. Be consistent in your training, especially in the potty schedule. Especially, right after each meal. Give him a treat to walk or play with for 15 minutes then go out. Don’t get discouraged, remember that you are training your puppy and this is part of being consistent.
3. Be patient, do not expect much immediate progress, the stage can last from two to six months depending on the training, but the right puppy house training and you can do it within a week. Yelling does not help because he can not understand and physical abuse such as slapping, hitting can lead to other dog behavior problems.

I AM LUCKY AND YOU?

Laire (guinea pig) with broken teeth

Laire is 2 years old, female guinea pig and suddenly had chewing problem and lost weight. she was not able to chew the food and slowly food intake was reduced. concerned owners brought her to my clinic and on examination i found the upper teeth were soft and broken. due to this reason she was not able to eat properly. she was not getting any supplement, necessary for a guinea pig to have. finally the broken teeth were trimmed and she was put on supplements and some medication. she has started eating better than before but will take time to recover completely.

Mini - happy with new chews

this is mini after the recovery and is happy with new gift of chews. she has put on weight also and is very friendly with the children as well. Lhasa can also be so friendly. it depends on the owners i.e. care, upbringing and time devotion. time is the factor where most of the owners are not so good as today's life is very hectic and its hard to take out the time from usual routine. but still some owners are very responsible for their companions and are able to devote time.

Dog and baby interaction

Take the time to educate your child how to respect animals. Similarly, give your dog as much attention as possible so he does not feel neglected in the presence of children.
