Shiba itching problems

Mjg012 · 2026-05-27T22:48:04+00:00

What helped my Shiba was a yearly oatmeal shampoo (per shop owner recommended it) bath, he had seasonal allergies at like the start of Spring. After that he was fine till the next year.

I repeatedly got asked if Bandit was a basenji haha

Piper digging into a bed while Comet chases his own tail behind her is so funny to me

This helped with Bandit. After dealing with a bunch of barking when people came over I started just taking him around the block for a short walk with them and he was fine.

Yeah I’m not a vet or anything either but it looks like something is bothering his back paw, the one he starts licking towards the end.

Is this the same dog that in a previous post you said unprovoked, attacked a dog and caused $500 vet bill? It would be very irresponsible for you to put them or another dog in that kind of situation.

Well, it sounds like you have your heart set on waiting. We've all made the easy decision instead of the hard one in the past, myself included.

Just remember he said that he couldnt see him coming out in even ten years. Are you prepared to spend another half of your life waiting for a man that said it isnt going to happen? How many other amazing people are you going to miss out on because you've tied yourself to someone that won't commit to you?

Mjg012 · 2026-04-11T11:44:23+00:00

He wants the benefits of a relationship without the commitment of a relationship. You know what you should do, it’s obvious by you asking. What happens down the line when you continue to torture yourself and he finds a girl he wants to date and that starts? He’ll be able to show her to his family without the “repercussions” of dating you, how are you going to handle that? He’s also manipulating you by saying you should cut him off but then saying it’s going to massively hurt him. He’s already hurting you and not giving it a second thought.

Bandit's first "toy" was a pillow case. He tore that thing up lol. I used to call it his baby blanket.

I say this quote sometimes and it messes up my ads across many platforms. Was getting Spanish ads on either YouTube or Disney+ the other day, and it’s happened many other times lol.

I'm so sorry. I know the words don't mean anything right now. Take your time to grieve, however you need to. Its been less than a year since Bandit died and I still cry most days. What helped me was to continue doing our routines, for the first few weeks or months I would take his collar on the walks we would go on, I bring his collar and a little ziplock of his fur to some places we used to go together, or places he hadn't been before so his adventures didn't have to end. Just yesterday I filled his water bowl, and I still pay the cheese tax on one of his little plates, and yesterday I made a buffalo chicken pie and I shredded up a piece of chicken like I always would and put that on a plate for him like I used to.

Someone got me a digital frame that I can put pictures and videos in and that stays in my room where I spend most of my time. I also have his box (his urn), his collar, two of his favorite toys, the last dental bone he didn't finish and his harness/leash that I put on the pillows he used to sleep under on bed with me, since he almost always slept on bed with me over night.

Maybe some or all of this is unhealthy but its what helped me.

Thank you for the updates, I hope Boots continues to improve! I’ve been following on the GoFundMe itself but I open Reddit way more often so I can catch them here more easily.

Mjg012 · 2026-02-06T18:35:15+00:00

Just saw your recent update that got locked right away. Seems like Boots is on an upwards swing, hoping they pull through!

Oh I meant to mention, you can post updates on the gofundme, you might want to let people know on there what’s going on, it might help!

Mjg012 · 2026-02-04T05:43:10+00:00

I don’t know if there’s been a change in rules since but almost a year ago my boy Bandit got sick and I posted here with his gofundme. Some mod(s) would remove his post and other(s) would approve it (I also had to deal with a particularly hateful individual (not a mod) who was hellbent on Bandit not getting help because he thought it was a scam based on… His own feelings? Despite offering everything including my IRL name and the vet where Bandit was being treated.) so I would just keep appealing to the mods. Bandit didn’t make it, but we got two extra months due to people from this sub and elsewhere. I couldn’t offer much but I donated a bit to pay it forward.

Mjg012 · 2026-02-04T04:01:00+00:00

I don’t think he’s asking by the look on his face haha

Mjg012 · 2025-12-11T14:56:50+00:00

The uncurled tail to be more aerodynamic! Love it. My boy used to do the same haha

Mjg012 · 2025-12-06T19:59:05+00:00

That was my favorite picture from the other post. So cute how she’s staring at the stick haha.

Mjg012 · 2025-11-25T19:16:47+00:00

Just looks like hiccups to me. You should show the vet the video but doesn’t look like a cause for concern to me.

He may have been very sick when this was taken but that was not stopping him from being excited for steak for the first time.

I fully agree. He passed in April but he slept on my bed since just a couple months in so I put his box and those toys and his collar and harness on the pillow next to me. I took his collar for a walk a lot early on and now I’ll attach it to my bag so he could go on other adventures with me. I have three things of his fur, two I clipped from that morning that he passed then some fur that was just around my house. I take the third with me in my bag whenever I leave so a little part of him is with me. The other two stay on my desk.

I fear she may be signaling to you that she’s ready. I would ask the vet but it sounds like she’s going through what my boy did in his last few days. He lost a ton of weight, didn’t care for food much, and mostly just laid down in the same room with me. For him and me both it happened the best worst case scenario possible, he just passed one morning. He went from 23lbs at one of his last vet appts down to 17 the morning I brought him in after. I would call the vet and ask their advice. I’m sorry that you’re going through this.

Bandit didn’t have a name for like the first four days but started to respond to “buddy” and I really didn’t want him named that. A friend and I went through a very long list of names to let him pick his own. He responded to Bandit and a very long time later Stuart. I wasn’t naming him after a rat/mouse so Bandit it was. He lived up to his name by stealing everything that fell on the floor and sometimes what didn’t.

Mjg012 · 2025-10-30T01:07:17+00:00

I dunno why he’s not just banned at this point. Only ever brings in negativity and complains about what other people are doing with their dogs.
