FIVE TIPS TO MAKE YOUR DOG LOOK NICE

1. Eyes: check for any discharges, watering or reddening and for corneal opacity. Clean the eye discharges found around the eyes with a clean piece of cotton dipped in lukewarm water.

2. Ears: lift the ear flaps and check for the presence of ear wax, unpleasant odor, purulent discharges and whether there are any ticks or fleas. Clean the external ear with a specially formulated canine ear cleaner. Apply recommended parasiticides if there are ticks or fleas.

3. Nails: if your dog gets a sufficient amount of walking the nails will automatically ware off. If not, the nails should be trimmed at least every three months under the supervision of a veterinarian.

4. Teeth: use a canine toothpaste and a toothbrush for this purpose. Brushing is important especially in toy breeds that tend to lose teeth at an early age.

5. Coat: need to be hand-stripped or brushed routinely, depending on the breed to get the desired effect of a coat.

Leptospirosis awareness A timely topic as there's a Leptospirosis outbreak in the Northern province of Sri Lanka. I see a gap in the level of awareness on prevention and transmission regarding this topic although there are plenty of sources to explain the symptoms of the disease.
