Hi,
I just found this site 2 days ago when I was researching the Maltese breed. I have already learned so much.
I have a Cockapoo named Pookie who is 7 years old. A month of go we lost our other 6 year old Cockapoo named Latte to pancreatitis. It happened suddenly out of the blue and even though she spent the week in the hospital, when she came home she never would eat and was bleeding internally so we had to have her put to sleep. :smcry:We miss her so much.
Sunday on a whim my husband and I stopped by the Humane Society and instantly feel in love with a 5-7 month old Maltese who had been there a week and had been picked up as a stray. He was so matted. But what a big personality! So we adopted him and his name is Swiffer.
I need help. He has been groomed very,very short due to his matted hair and went to the vet yesterday and was neutered and had an extra tooth pulled. He had ear mites and is being treated for that. BUT he is scratching, licking and biting himself to the point it seems obsessive/compulsive. In the middle of anything he is doing he has to stop and scratch. What can I do? Poor guy, he must be so miserable.
Thanks,
Sherrie
