Before I got a Maltese I was told they DO NOT shed. Well, every time I wear something black I can see all of Kodie's hair all over me. Is that normal?? When I first got him he didnt shed really at all but now he does... What could be the problem?
is it like a lot of hair? is it after you brush him? cuz i know that when i brush sprite and ellie, hair comes out. is kodie getting any bald spots? i wouldnt totally worry about few stray hairs. but if it looks like shedding like a german shep, i'd talk to a vet or the breeder.
Tuffy seems to leave hair on me too.. I wouldn't go as far as to say he sheds because besides the loose hairs he leaves on my clothes when I pick him up, he doesn't leave hair on our furniture or the carpet
I think I might not be brushing Tuffy enough to get all the dead hair off of him.
These guys loose hair just like we do and just like us, hair grows in cycles and at times they will loose more than other times.
If you are seeing alot of it his hair may be to dry and breaking off.... or
I know there are many things that can cause hair loss such as mites, hookworms etc.... so if you think Kodie has a problem you may want to go to the vet. Weight loss, blad spots and itching can all be signs that something is wrong
nope, no bald spots! I just washed him last night and today he doesnt seem to be shedding as much.. before I washed him he was shedding a lot. Is it possible that i'm not brushing him enough and that could be a cause???
I was wondering about the weight our babies should be. Kobe is 3.5 lbs and according to the vet he hasn’t gained anything this last month. It worries me a little bit. The vet says that it’s fine but he seems skinny to me. He eats well. I serve his a half cup and we free feed. He eats probably...
Today I brought home a rescue Maltese-cotón tulear mix.
She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
We need to stop this! The problem is that Snowball is 8 years old and is the sweetest dog you ever saw! EVERYONE loves him and that is the problem. Sometimes they will try to pet him and he is OK. At other times he is still nice and adorable but when a person gets too close he will bark and go...
I hate it when Bailey isn't feeling well...which is not too often, luckily. But he is sick right now and I could really use some advice. Monday night, he started pacing back and forth and crying to go outside (not normal for him)...I took him out and he had a really loose stool. That day, he had...
I didn't want to hijack Baileysmommy Sad Story thread, but it did get me to wonder. This past weekend I had to get re-certified for CPR and first aid. During the class infants, and dogs were discussed in reference to CPR, how to breath for them, and choking.
I was wondering how many members out...
