Dog / Mix - Answered 1013 days ago
My dog is one year and 2 months old now and the problem is that he does not eat any other food than chicken rice. Not even dog food or any other stuffs. He eats 3 meal per day but very less around 200gm only per meal. He losses his fur drastically. He often suffer with lots of ticks n gets his health down. Ticks shampoo and soap also does not cures 100 percent. Please advise

One of the reasons your dog isn't feeding well is because of the tick infestation. So apparently, you should tackle one problem at a time, so tackle the tick problem first. The most common product used to kill ticks on dogs instantly is Nitenpyram, more commonly known as Capstar. This single-use tablet is administered orally and kills ticks within a short time. It is recommended that you contain your pet in a small area when using Capstar. You may also try rubbing Alcohol, or use Eucalyptus Oil. Bleaches could also be a good shot. After the ticks are gone, you may now monitor your dog's feeding pattern and see how things goes. I wish you well
