Shalmay

You should go back to that Pet Shop and complain why do they sell you a Kutu Dog ?

Is your dog MKA Certified ? How much did you buy ?

Never get a dog from PetShop, only from Reputable Breeder.

Anyway, what u can first do to your dog is give it a good clean bath with Anti-Flea medicated shampoo soak it for around 10minutes, bath it everyday for a few days, but not too strong shampoo like Melasaeb, for a puppy it's not difficult to catch all the kutu one by one, catch all the kutu and dun let your dog run around the grass places it can expose to kutu. DUn forget to kill the kutu after you catch it.

Oh yea, since u r new, let me add, when u bath your dog, immediately after bath dry ur dog fast fast with a towel n hair dryer it, dun let your dog catch cold, thats the last thing you want your dog to kena. When bath your dog, watch out the eye and nose and ear, dry them fast if water goes in.

Do this first n see if the kutu continues ? Hope this helps.

Hey Shalmay

Well, bath ur doggy with an Anti Tick Medicated Shampoo but using water from the heater, not cold water, NEVER bath ur doggy wif cold water, always always water from the heater, den make sure u close the door in the bath room, no wind access, start soaking for 5minit first, bath her daily for now, when she recovered from ticks, den u can bath her weekly.

Bathing a Dog:

1. Standby everything ready, shampoo, tub, towel.

Hold your dog on the neck with one hand, so that she wont splash you all over,wet her with warm water,apply shampoo on her body, start massaging her slowly n scrub softly, body, tail, under body, till the neck, especially the neck.

2. Then, take a little bit from the bubble foam to clean your doggy's head and outer layer of the ear not inside. BECAREFUL not to let the foam into the eye, once this happen, quickly dry & clean the eye with a clean towel.

3. Rinse your dog, from body to tail to under body, when u rinse the head, careful dun let the water flow into the eyes.

4. All the above are done, with another hand pressing her on the back of the neck, so dat she know she should not splash n dry herself yet. You can train her to dry herself by command next time, after rinsing, my dog will wait with herself all wet, till i say "ok go!!" den she will start splashing n drying herself, of course i m far away from her liau la hehe.....

5. After bath, dry her with a clean towel, dry the ear, inner layer and also clean it with a Ear wax removal lotion, cut accessive fur from the paw, use a hair dryer to dry ur doggy.

Catch the flea n ticks, one by one, searching all over your dog, puppy should not be difficult, especially at around the neck area, behind the ears, on the back of the dog, the tail n between the paws.

I suggest you go get a book to read on how to take care of your dog, reading on how to care for your dog is always best for a beginner. You can search around this forum for whats the good book to read. You can start with this 2 books.

-KISS Series, How to Live with a Dog

-Keeping a Dog for Dummy

Oh....Your pup only 2 month old.Blush

Then you no need to bath her first. You can use a wet towel and clean her up will do. After she get all her vaccination when she is about 5 month old you can start bathing her with warm water & use a mild shampoo & conditioner on her.

For the Ticks & Fleas problem. This is normal espcially your pup is from petshop or commecial breeder. Most probably your pup is infected with Ticks. So, you just catch the ticks and kill it will do. Most ticks like to hide around ears, neck, ampit, & between paws. No need use any medicated spray or shampoo on your pup it might be to strong for your pup & also will dry the skin & coat.

No worry your pup should be OKWink

Just remember don't bath your pup for 1 week after the vaccination and also bath him with warm water. At the moment you stop bathing him now. Just swipe him with wet cloth will do.
