LHASA APSO
The Lhasa Apso is a small but smart and affectionate individual that makes a solid watchdog. This also means they may bark excessively, and some can be overly protective.

They are known for their flat, floor-length coat, usually parted in the center. This long coat requires extensive brushing and care, which leads some people to have them groomed to a shorter length, or “puppy cut.”

The Lhasa has a flat face and short nose, which can cause them to overheat easily. They need frequent ear, eye, and skin care. Overall, they are a healthy breed but have a few conditions that affect them.

Lhasa Apso was bred as a guard dog as well as a companion dog. These dogs can be aloof with strangers, although they are affectionate with people who they know and trust. The sharp alarm bark can become a nuisance if the dog is not guided as to when it is appropriate.

Lhasa Apsos are dogs that do best with a fair amount of socialization and plenty of human company. They are not always good with other dogs, so they should be socialized to dogs and other pets as well as people right from puppy hood. Some Lhasa Apsos have a suspicious nature and can be snippy. At home with family and friends, however, they are lively and can be almost SILLY.

PSEUDO/ FALSE PREGNANCY IN DOGS IN NIGERIA

Pseudopregnancy, also known as false pregnancy or phantom pregnancy, is a condition that can affect female dogs. It is characterized by behavioral and physical changes that mimic those of a real pregnancy, despite the absence of actual pregnancy. The condition is caused by hormonal imbalances and can occur in dogs of any age or breed.

SYMPTOMS OF PSEUDO PREGNANCY ( FALSE PREGNANCY) IN DOG

1. Nesting behavior: The dog may start to gather toys, blankets, or other objects to create a nest-like environment.

2. Enlargement of mammary glands: The mammary glands may become swollen and even produce milk.

3. Behavioral changes: The dog may exhibit mothering behaviors towards objects, such as toys or even inanimate objects like pillows. She may become protective and show signs of anxiety.

4. Loss of appetite: Some dogs may experience a decrease in appetite during pseudopregnancy.

5. Abdominal swelling: The abdomen may appear distended, similar to that of a pregnant dog.

MANGE IN DOGS

Mange is a skin condition that affects dogs and is caused by various types of mites. The two most common types of mange in dogs are sarcoptic mange (also known as canine scabies) and demodectic mange.

1. Sarcoptic Mange (Canine Scabies): Sarcoptic mange is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites. These mites burrow into the dog's skin, leading to intense itching, hair loss, redness, and the formation of crusts and scabs. The mites are highly contagious and can be transmitted to other animals and even humans. Sarcoptic mange is typically diagnosed through a skin scraping and can be treated with medications prescribed by a veterinarian, including topical ointments, oral medications, or injections.

2. Demodectic Mange: Demodectic mange is caused by Demodex mites, specifically Demodex canis. These mites naturally inhabit the hair follicles and oil glands of dogs, but an overgrowth or an impaired immune system can lead to the development of mange. Demodectic mange is not considered contagious to other animals or humans. There are two types of demodectic mange: localized and generalized. Localized demodectic mange affects specific areas of the dog's body, typically the face or paws, and often resolves without treatment. Generalized demodectic mange affects larger areas of the body and may require more extensive treatment, including medicated dips, oral medications, or antibiotics.

It's important to note that mange can be a complex condition, and it's best to consult with a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. Your veterinarian can perform the necessary tests, recommend suitable treatments, and provide guidance on preventing the spread of mange and managing your dog's symptoms.

WHY SOME GERMAN SHEPHERDS DOGS DO NOT BARK. 🐶

German Shepherds (GSDs) are generally known for their strong vocal abilities, it is not uncommon to come across individuals within the breed that do not bark as much as others. Several factors can contribute to this behavior:

1. Temperament: Each dog has its own unique personality and temperament, which can vary within the same breed. Some German Shepherds may naturally have a quieter or less vocal disposition, displaying less barking behavior compared to others.

2. Training and Socialization: The way a German Shepherd is trained and socialized from an early age can influence its barking behavior. Proper training and exposure to different environments, people, and other animals can help a dog develop appropriate communication skills and reduce excessive barking tendencies.

3. Genetics: Inherited traits and genetics can also play a role in a GSD's barking behavior. Some bloodlines may have individuals that are naturally quieter or less prone to barking due to their genetic makeup.

4. Health or Anxiety Issues: Certain health conditions or anxiety-related issues can affect a dog's vocalization. If a German Shepherd is experiencing pain, discomfort, or anxiety, it may result in reduced or altered barking behavior.

It's important to note that excessive or persistent lack of barking in a German Shepherd should be evaluated by a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues. If a GSD suddenly stops barking or exhibits significant changes in behavior, it is best to consult a professional to ensure the dog's well-being.

Ultimately, the level of barking in a German Shepherd can vary from dog to dog due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and individual factors. It is essential for owners to understand and respect their dog's natural tendencies while providing appropriate training, socialization, and care

TICKS IN Dogs.
Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that attach themselves to animals and people. Once attached to a host, ticks feed voraciously. As they feed, ticks can transmit a large number of diseases, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, Q fever, and Lyme disease. Ticks also release toxins that can harm their hosts. Skin wounds caused by ticks can lead to secondary bacterial infections and screwworm infestations. Severe tick infestations can lead to anemia and death.

Skin wounds caused by ticks can lead to secondary bacterial infections and screwworm infestations. Severe tick infestations can lead to anemia and death.
If a tick is found on a dog, it should be removed promptly and carefully. Using tweezers or specialized tick-removal tools, grasp the tick as close to the dog's skin as possible and gently pull it straight out. It's important to avoid crushing the tick during removal to prevent potential transmission of diseases. Once removed, the tick should be disposed of properly, and the area where it was attached should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
In conclusion, ticks pose a persistent threat to dogs, and their potential to transmit diseases cannot be underestimated. Pet owners must remain vigilant in preventing tick infestations through regular inspection, the use of preventive products, and maintaining a tick-free environment. By taking proactive measures, pet owners can help safeguard the health and well-being of their furry companions, ensuring a happy and tick-free life for their dogs.

Why Do German Shepherds Bark?

A bark is one of your dog’s main forms of communication, and is how they vocalize some of their many emotions. Just as you and I have our words to express how we are currently feeling, our dogs have their bark. Whether your dog is trying to communicate with the dog across the street or greet you when you get home from work, a bark is a great way to do just that.

1. They Are Territorial
Sometimes our German Shepherds will bark in an effort to stake claims on their territory. Whether they are protective of you on your walks or of the area around your home, some Shepherds will bark at approaching dogs or people.

2. They Are Anxious Or Stressed.
Sometimes our German Shepherds will bark when they are overcome with emotions. Similar to you and I, our Shepherd pups can become anxious or stressed from many different aspects in their life.
Whether you have just moved to a new home, brought a new dog into your home, are away from home more than usual, are taking a trip to the vet, or any other major shifts in your daily life; our German Shepherds can struggle with these changes and be more vocal as a result

3. They Want Your Attention.
Our German Shepherds love our attention, and sometimes their barking is just another way to ask for it. Spending time with their favorite humans is always at the top of your dog’s list, causing them to bark or whine if they ever feel like they are not getting enough of our love.

Though barking can be seen as a pushy behavior coming from your German Shepherd, it’s possible that they are unsure of another way to get your attention.

4. They Are Saying Hello
Some German Shepherds are more vocal than others and choose to greet their favorite humans with a quick hello each time they enter the room.

Whether they start barking once you open the front door or each time you enter the room, your friendly Shepherd may just be offering you a special greeting.
Some German Shepherds say hello to their fur parents,.
