📍Doberman breed

The Doberman is a man-made breed, developed in Germany in the late 19th century by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a tax collector who needed a fearless, loyal, and intelligent protection dog. The breed was selectively developed using dogs with guarding ability, speed, endurance, and strong nerves—making the Doberman an excellent personal guard, police, and military dog.
📍Tail docking – historical reason
In the early Dobermans, the tail was thin, long, and visually disproportionate to the powerful, compact body. More importantly, during guarding work, protection duty, and combat situations, the tail was prone to injury. Hence, tail docking was practiced in early periods for functional and safety reasons, not cosmetic alone. (Today, docking laws vary by country)
The Doberman is a blend of power, intelligence, loyalty, and precision breeding, created for protection but capable of being a devoted family companion when trained and socialized

📍“When the patient’s head is bigger than the vet’s

Large-breed patients remind us that veterinary medicine is a blend of anatomy, behaviour science, and reflex control. One sudden movement + size + muscle = real occupational risk. That’s why calm communication and correct handling matter as much as treatment.
📍 Quick tip: Read the dog before you touch—watch posture, tail, ears, eyes. Move slowly, avoid face-to-face stance, and control the head first. Use technique and support, not force.
📍 Quick temperament check:
Loose body and soft eyes → safe to proceed.
Panting, lip licking, stiff posture → slow down.
Freeze, growl, hard stare → stop and reassess.

📍 Tiny Teeth, Big Responsibility!

Did you know that small breed dogs like Pomeranians are very prone to dental problems?
Their crowded, tiny teeth trap food easily, leading to plaque, bad breath, gum infection, and early tooth loss if not cared for properly.
📍 Why dental checks matter: • Dental pain often goes unnoticed
• Infections can spread to the heart & kidneys
• Regular oral checks can prevent major illness
🐾 Simple care makes a big difference – early dental examination, proper diet, and routine cleaning keep these fluffy companions comfortable and healthy.
📍 Healthy mouth = Healthy pet

📍 Brucellosis in Breeding Male Dogs – A Silent Danger
Brucellosis
(caused by Brucella canis) is a highly contagious disease and a major hidden cause of infertility in breeding male dogs.
Many infected males appear completely normal but silently spread the infection through mating and semen.
📌 We have detected few cases this year – a serious warning for breeders.
# Causes infertility, testicular disease, and back pain
# Spreads rapidly within kennels
# Difficult to treat; infected dogs may remain lifelong carriers
# Zoonotic risk – can infect humans handling dogs or semen
📍 All breeding male dogs – especially high-value stud dogs – must be screened: • Before breeding
• Every 6–12 months
• Before buying, selling, or importing
📍 Responsible breeding starts with Brucellosis testing.
Early screening protects your dog, your kennel, and your reputation.
At Felican Pet Hospital, we offer: • Stud dog semen analysis
• Brucellosis screening
• Fit-for-Breeding certification

📍 Poodle Like a Noodle!

Curly, springy, and full of style—poodles truly look like living noodles!
Interesting facts:
That “noodle curl” coat is actually hair, not fur—so it sheds very little.
Poodles are among the most intelligent dog breeds, excellent learners and performers.
Their curls protect them from cold water—poodles were originally water retrievers.
The famous grooming styles began for function, not fashion!
Elegant outside, brilliant inside—this noodle has a brain too! 😊

📍Why Do Dogs Eat Grass and Vomit?

Many dog owners get worried when they see their dog—especially breeds like German Shepherds—eating grass and then vomiting. In most cases, this is normal behavior.
Dogs often eat grass when they feel mild stomach discomfort, acidity, or nausea. Grass irritates the stomach lining and helps them vomit, giving quick relief. This instinct comes from their wild ancestors and acts as a natural self-medication.
Occasional grass eating followed by vomiting is not a disease if the dog is active, eating well, and normal afterward. However, frequent vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite, or blood in vomit needs veterinary attention.
Avoid long gaps between meals, provide a balanced diet with enough fiber, and do not allow dogs to eat grass from pesticide-treated areas.

When can a puppy be separated from its mother?

The ideal time to separate a puppy from its mother is around 7 to 8 weeks of age. By this time, the puppy has received essential immunity through mother’s milk, has learned basic social behavior from the mother and littermates, and can comfortably eat solid puppy food. Early separation can lead to poor immunity, digestive problems, anxiety, and behavioral issues later in life. Separation should always be gradual—ensure the puppy is fully weaned, dewormed, healthy, and adjusted to solid food before moving to a new home. Proper timing and gentle transition help the puppy grow into a healthy, confident adult dog.

When Panting Is a Warning Sign: Don’t Ignore

Continuous Breathing in Dogs
Continuous panting in dogs is not normal and should never be ignored, especially when it persists for hours or days. While panting can occur after exercise or excitement, prolonged panting often indicates an underlying problem. Common causes include heat stress, particularly in our tropical climate, breathing difficulty seen in flat-faced breeds like French Bulldogs and Pugs, pain or discomfort due to spinal issues, gastritis, or abdominal problems, fever or hidden infections, and in some cases heart or lung disease. Panting that continues even at rest or during sleep, or is associated with lethargy, reduced appetite, exercise intolerance, or a dark or bluish tongue, requires immediate veterinary attention. Providing a cool, well-ventilated environment, avoiding exertion, and using a harness instead of a neck collar may offer temporary relief, but timely clinical evaluation is essential. Early diagnosis and intervention can be life-saving.

A Labrador came to Felican Pet Hospital with a suddenly enlarged, fluid-filled belly.

This condition is called ascites—fluid accumulation in the abdomen. It is not a disease by itself, but a warning sign of underlying problems such as liver disease, heart issues, kidney problems, infections, or tumors.
A pot-bellied look, lethargy, breathing difficulty, and weight loss despite a big belly should never be ignored. Early diagnosis through blood tests and ultrasound can make a big difference.
At Felican, we focus on finding the cause—not just removing the fluid.

✈️ Flying Home with a Pet – Dubai to Cochin 🐾

The attached video shows one of our valued clients safely traveling with their pet from Dubai to Cochin—a journey made smooth with the right preparation. Air India allows pets to travel safely either in the cabin or in the cargo, depending on the pet’s size and weight.
Domestic Pet travel requires a fit-to-fly veterinary health certificate, updated vaccinations, airline approval, and IATA-approved carriers (mandatory). Pets must be comfortable enough to sit, stand, turn, and lie naturally inside the crate, ensuring safety and reduced stress during the journey.
With proper documentation, crate training, light feeding before travel, and no sedation, most pets travel calmly and arrive healthy.
For international travel, additional steps apply:
• Import permit
Microchip identification
• Country-specific vaccinations & antibody titers
• Quarantine rules (as per destination country)
At Felican Pet Hospital, we assist pet parents with complete domestic and international travel guidance, from paperwork to post-arrival care.
We care. We cure. 🐶🐱
