I think your pup is having an allergic reaction either from the food or shampoo you're using on him. Lamb is supposed to be the best meat & most dogs are not allergic to lamb. What shampoo you're using? Stop using it for about a week or so & see whether its itching has stopped or not. Use very light puppy shampoo. But dilute it in water some more so that it's very gentle to the skin. But if no change, then change its food to Purina Turkey. Turkey is quite light too & should be okay for your pup.

hi, i go to segar vets too... there are a few vets n they are ok... altho i must say if it's a skin problem yr dog is having, it is not always easy to diagnose... u may want to try the eliminating process first, for example stop using the current shampoo and see if the skin gets better... check yr dog for any ticks and fleas... applying frontline works too...
yes dogs get fever too... if it's fever, then pls send to the vet for a check up...
i've not been to the veterinary hospital in jln cheras, altho i'm interested to check out the place...

Ofcourse & other types of sickness & problems too! Bring to the vet quickly so that the doctor can check what's wrong with him or if he really is having fever. Is he behaving strangely like tired, head down, eyes watery & so on?
