My dog smells like something rotten even after a thorough bath. This began about 2 weeks ago and at first I thought he had rolled on something dead while he was outside. I gave him a bath promptly. That seemed to help for about a day. I watched him closely to make sure he wasn’t rolling around on something and he did not. He’s had several baths since, but no change… Still smells horrible after a day or so. He’s always had dandruff, but recently it’s been very excessive. The last time I was bathing him (he usually LOVES bath time) he whimpered the whole time like I was hurting him. What could be going on? Some sort of skin infection? He’s had a mild one before (treated w/ antibiotics) but nothing that ever made him smell like death! Included photos of his “dandruff” (quotations because I’ve never seen anything like this)
I bought home two 8 week old chihuahuas today, I was told they had been given flea treatment two weeks ago however, I have found fleas on them? What should I do?

Dawn Ferara, DVM Do you know what kind of flea medication was used on them? I would contact your vet tomorrow to see if you can get them in to be examined for their 8 week puppy shots etc and see what type of flea medicine your vet recommends. As for tonight I would give them both a bath to try to remove any live fleas and remove flea dirt so it is less likely to leave fleas or eggs in your house.
Good Luck
Dr Dawn

Charlotte Procter Thank you both – I’ve contacted my vet and got them booked in for first thing tomorrow morning. I’m also going to get treatment for my house – recommended by the vet, so hopefully can stop it from spreading. They are a couple days over 8 weeks and have already had their first infections, so I need to schedule the second injection, microchip and flea/worming plan.
My dogs eye is pinkish red. It gets crusty. Do dogs get pink eye? What can we do to treat it?
My husky is only 5 months old. He’s acting weirdly in an on and off basis. He starts having thick drools with head and tail down walking round and round. Please advice.
my 2yr.old 20lb. chi/corgi followed me out to the garage 1/2 hr ago and I believe he ate some green mouse pellets9poison)

Dawn Ferara, DVM Call emergency vet ASAP!!!
My cat gets UTIs from time to time. Usually my vet will come to my house and write an RX for food. He is out of the country and I cannot take my cat out of the house. He gets very nervous. Can anyone recommend someone ? I am in Brooklyn, NY

Christina Chambreau I am not an expert on chickens, nor am I familiar with specific chicken diseases that may be endemic in Bangladesh. Some chickens thrive merely eating a wide range of food scraps and foraging for insects. Most chickens do not thrive when kept indoors. In general I do not recommend vaccines for any species. I have done some research to find out about poultry diseases in Bangladesh and have not found anything specific, so I have compiled some possible references, even one in India.
In general I do not recommend vaccines and do recommend having a relationship with a homeopath or natural healing veterinarian so if they become ill you can immediately get help.
Several good contacts in the US include:

Kelly Furgason Hello,
Most of the time people do not vaccinate chicks. But sometimes you can treat with antibiotics put into the water. What is the problem you are having?
~kelly
He’s a male cat and 7 years old. Now he’s looking super upset and won’t move from the one spot that he’s at.
omg go to the vet !!!!!!
