"You did not have much time to treat the poodle for paw biting," I told the retiree owner. "All 4 paws have infected skin with flaky scales! Your dog also has roughened ear pinnae skin which is not a normal situation."
"I thought it is normal for poodles to bite their paws daily," the man said.
"It is not normal."
His poodle attempted to escape from the reception room by pawing the glass door. He figured out that the vet surgery is not good for him!
Treatment was ear irrigation and hair plucking under Domitor and Ketamine sedation IV,
dental scaling and paw clipping.
An initial dose of baytril and pred SC was given to last the first 2 weeks.
Then, Apoquel 3.6 mg, 1 tablet twice per day for 14 days and maintenance dose of 1 tablet daily for 14 days.
To follow up on Feb 2018.
