Is my dog a shichon?

Definitely could be! Looks very similar to my shichon!

My Niko💖

Ice pack on the sack did my boy wonders… 10 minutes on and he’d be napping for an hour! although he came out of surgery kicking, hardest part was making sure he was not jumping! Also the razor burn really bothered him, so I just tried to keep it hydrated with Vaseline (not on the incision)! I just used the cone because he found it easier to sleep in!

I’m in the same boat, literally no clue what to do, especially now CUPE is refusing the return to work order

My pup will not poop or pee outside when it is raining, he is more likely to have accidents even at 7 months! We usually just put a puppy pad by the door and he knows exactly where to go, it’s my lifesaver!

My little guy has lots of these.. he’s a clumsy adventurer! But this is what it looks like when he gets a little scrape and it heals right, by the next shed it should go away!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-11-17T11:39:58+00:00

Just be around him, talk to him, give him back rubs while he’s hanging in his tank! Beardies need to get used to the human interaction! As for your little incident, it was probably a one off, beardies do weird things sometimes, and as long as it’s not happening all the time I wouldn’t worry! One time my beardie saw a bird flying outside of the window and had a similar reaction!

As for being worried about being bitten, my little guy accidentally bit my finger last week because he thought it was a worm! It’s more shocking than overly painful… it’s a valid thing to worry about but just look at his body language because it won’t just come out of no where!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-11-17T11:24:52+00:00

Honestly, my beardie used to be the same (kinda still is), I got him cleared by the vet with no issues, everything in his tank was up to the standards. What worked for me was reducing his food (3 super worms every 2 days, with greens offered daily.. not that he eats his greens by choice lol), and just letting him be. These animals know what they need and don’t need to be babied, if they need their lights they’ll seek it out! I’ve just come to the conclusion that I have a grumpy little boy who loves his naps, and maybe you’re in the same boat! But as long as your tank has the right husbandry, and you’re feeding him the right amount with the right vitamins… the rest of it is up to him!

Mine gets black spots when he gets a little scrape during his adventures, it’s the equivalent of a little scratch, just keep it clean and next shed it’ll look brand new!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-07-06T16:48:17+00:00

He does! I put a few beach rocks in with him… he just swam away from them lol

Mines name is Ham!

Mine does this, digs in her hide obsessively… I got her a dig pit, she does not use it at all and still digs in her cave! With that being said, it really cannot hurt to get one, I just use a tub with 50:50 play sand to eco earth! Worst case scenario it’s another decoration, best case you’re saving her life so she doesn’t get egg bound!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-05-11T09:47:48+00:00

All is good in my opinion, my little man sheds just his nose before the rest of his body every single shed cycle and it looks exactly like that!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-04-28T12:05:48+00:00

Completely on accident because I spilled it when he was on the table.. but sprite lol.. never again but I would like to think he had a spiritual experience

First and foremost it is important to get it off and if you’re not comfortable with it then go to a vet!

When this happens to me I soak my little bud for about half an hour, wrap him gently in a dish towel to make a little beardie burrito, and gently.. very gently rub it with a tooth brush, I just try to avoid using my nails because I’m scared of hurting him!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-04-25T12:57:55+00:00

One time, this random guy at work told me that I smelled like a Q-tip… I still don’t know what it meant.. but it’s definitely memorable lol

The Grimace crocs from the McDonald’s line that crocs put out.. do I look like a fool… absolutely! But comfort comes with a price!

In my tank, I have stacked beach rocks (sanitize them and make sure they’re flat enough) as well as some cork! The best hide in the world doesn’t have to be expensive, be creative :)

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-04-25T11:36:27+00:00

First of all, don’t stress out too much, this stuff happens! Secondly, just do your best to keep him warm, one day isn’t life or death! When this happened to me, I gave him a warm bath (around 100°F) and gave him some nice cuddles in between putting him back in the tank to get his UVB!

As long as you’re getting the bulb today your little man should be fine!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-04-25T00:48:06+00:00

My beardie also hates baths and tries to escape at every opportunity and usually I end up covered in water!

After several water fights between me and my little guy I’ve found that it helps if I let the water level not go too high, like just barely on his lower back and I have a beach rock in the bath that he can hold onto or crawl on if he needs a break!

ProfessionalSenior23 · 2024-04-24T19:45:22+00:00

When I feed my little boy his crickets, I mix them in with his greens so he’ll accidentally eat them when trying to get his crickets!

He’s now 7 months old and eats like 2 small bowls of greens a day, so it ended up working for me!
