Urgent!! 3 months old puppy suffering from Rickets - Page 2

I realize that vegetarian diets are common in India, but it's not natural for dogs, who require meat protein. Milk and bread are absolutely not needed.

Thank you for posting pics...both beautiful pups!

I would agree with the above (vet B) but think he looks like he needs worming, too.

Oh, don't give raw eggs, not right now. I'd stick with kibble (dog food) and occasionally give a lightly scrambled egg (we just heat ours in the microwave until not quite cooked) until his bone and growth issues are straightened out.

Yeah thanks!! I will stick to Dog food now..(I mean my dogs):-)

Good plan! And yeah, you can continue to eat bread/milk yourself
