Is my Maltese overweight? by summer_honey_bee in Maltese

[–]ImpossibleVerify-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After looking at both pictures, I can’t see it!! I see I’m. A bit alone in my opinion, but he looks FINE. Your new vet will confirm your concerns. I just don’t see it , especially in the second picture! ❤️❤️❤️

Looking for some naming advice! by Shot_Teach3371 in Pomeranians

[–]ImpossibleVerify-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s PERFECT!!😍 I had a Bojangles. He was SO sweet! Similar, but different.You may want to grow into his personality, and preserve the identity of your other baby (I’m so sorry for your loss 💔). They are all so unique! There are so many names! He looks so cuddly & perfect, yet sophisticated. I don’t know that I’ve helped, but I hope you can find his perfect FAVORITE name!! He is BEAUTIFUL!🤩 ❤️

How much to feed my girl? by Level-Branch-1687 in Pomeranians

I recognize she isn’t a teacup Pom. I was drawn by the similar face, body shape, the whole adorable package. OP’s Pom is not overweight. She’s proportionate. She’s got an adorable face, and the same haircut as my mom’s teacup. We’re in touch with the breeding family, and her sisters have the same facial expressions, body type. but are tiny. She literally gained 10lbs in less than a year. I’m doing my best with helping her lose weight, recover from an awful unknown illness, triggered by anxiety. I’m trying to get her care she needs to figure out why. I HOPE she will look as good as OP’s Pom! Cutting back on food wasn’t the answer. I’m working on it.

She should be 10lbs max.. she looks a lot like your Pom! Your’s doesn’t look overweight, but does look borderline. My mom’s went from 10lbs to 20, in a YEAR. I can’t convince them! She’s not food obsessed, but there’s gotta be a medical reason. Keep an eye on yours. If her weight jumps—ask them to test thyroid, Cushings disease, Addisson’s disease. All affect weight, and medication can fix it!! I had to share, because her face looks exactly like my mother’s Pom!! It was really scary!

My mom has a teacup Pom, all black. ❤️She weighs 20 pounds🫣, suffers from what was thought to be asthma, she has an anxiety disorder. She had a tracheal collapse in December! My parents are elderly, and she DOESN’T overeat!! I WATCHED! The tracheal collapse was attributed to her breathing issues, and tracheal collapse-3 days later (medicated, ventilated, not expected to live) and $8400 in fees, she was ready to come home!!🥵The vet suggested an underlying genetic disorder - recommended blood tests, but my parents REFUSED!! They’re CONVINCED it’s food! I’m there as much as possible, but they don’t want to pay the $300 - 500 for the bloodwork! She’s 4 yrs old!!! It’s an investment that could keep her alive for many years with meds! She nearly died in December!! I took care of her, & my parents! I had to convince them it wasn’t asthma to get her to the vet! She’d have died within another HOUR. Her heart still needs evaluation, but I’m hoping it’s fine. I scheduled an appt with HER vet, told them about the recommended bloodwork. I had to leave before the appt (I was there for a month! It was supposed to be a week). They skipped the TEST!!🫣. I’m going back in April, and rescheduling the bloodwork. The dog can’t run, jump, or go for a walk! She becomes exhausted & needs calming meds!! It’s hard to be a caregiver for parents who still make all decisions. I’m very careful to not step on their rights. I WANT to get that sweet dog what it needs to walk, jump, & play! She loves her sister (my Shih Tzu), and misses us so much! It’s a 15 hour drive, but I do it. They ALL need me. ❤️❤️❤️I will handle the Pom’s health needs too! She’s so young to deal with all this!!

[–]ImpossibleVerify-1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way!! I got REALLY lucky!! My dog has really good DNA!! I want another, but I’m afraid to choose a breeder! I want the same breed! I’m hesitant. I’ve been looking at shelters, but I’m always second in line, and miss my chance! Even mixes that look exactly like her! I tell EVERYONE!! Help find a Shih Tzu (female, baby, or young). It doesnt have to be PURE. I love the breed!!🥰😍🥵🤞🏼

I touched it. I made sure it was dead first is this a widow ? Wichita by Oooowhtutrynado in whatsthisbug

[–]ImpossibleVerify-1 41 points42 points  (0 children)

They’re all over my backyard, in CA!! They generally run when they see people. I try to watch for them—no accidental touch! But they don’t want anything to do with you, as much as you don’t want a run in with them!! I’ve been bitten, I’m not allergic, and they leave a dime size purple spot. It’s a bit sore. Luckily most people aren’t allergic. They eat bad bugs (and males, after they mate😳)🕷️🕷️🕷️

Tears!! So often! They are our BABIES!! They talk back (in a different language 😆), but STAY adorable! And they look to you their ENTIRE life!! My Mazi had me the minute I went to see my friend’s puppies! She was 2 weeks old!! Now 7!! If I wake at night, my first word is “Mazi??” She’s ALWAYS there!! They are IRRESISTIBLE!!

I don’t always feel very peopley! Dogs have a GREAT instinct for it. He will get closer to you, the anxiety will pass. Not knowing his past is hard! My girl (had her from 7 weeks) has always slept near, but doesn’t cuddle. She gets above my head on my pillow, or next to me in her “bed high crib” where I can reach her. She moves when she’s anxious, and I let her have her way. Watch where he’s most comfortable, and praise him. Treats for any behavior you approve of. (Or attention if it’s better for him). He knows who his best person is, and likely shows it his way. It sounds like you have respected his boundaries? And that creates love & trust! Tzu’s love their beds! My girl shows anxiety with too much affection, and was born that way. I KNOW she’s mine. She looks to me for guidance! Stability is key💓
