nanganak shih tzu namin to 4 cute puppies! malapit na sila mag 1 month. naglalakad na sila hahaha

[babykat]

any tips on how to take care of a three-month old shih Tzu puppy?  I'm not exactly sure what to do kasi I got my Luckie when she was five month old na and toilet trained na.  And how do I make sure na di magseselos ng bonggang bongga ang Luckie ko dun sa padating na new Tzu ko?  nasanay kasi si Luckie na only baby sya.

[coyenho]

hi mga sis. we went yesterday sa vet  for check up.nag ka scratch kasi yung lens ng eyes ng tzu ko hindi ko alam kung anong cause. after meal kasi free roaming sya sa garden namin marami pa naman mga halaman .baka natusok ? o nakalmot ng pusa? dami kasi pusang gala at lagi nila kinakain [textspeak!] left over ng baby ko. ngayon nawawala naman [textspeak!] chew bone na binigay ko kaninang umaga lang.binili ko sa pet express kahapon excited pa naman ako. feeling ko kinuha nila yun bacon flavor pa naman..until now still searching kung san kami makakabili ng OPTHAGEN or KLASTOR for his eyes. 5 pet shop na pinagtanungan namen still wala talaga..late na ng one day yung eye drop nya.

Hi sis coyenho, my shih tzu also had the same experience but this was months and months ago. The vet suggested an eye drop that was readily available in the clinic. I'm just wondering why they did not prescribe an eye drop for your shih tzu since as you mentioned its been difficult for you to find the mentioned eye drops.

hindi kasi available sa clinic yung gamot kaya after a day ko na nalagyan..so far ok naman yung left eye ng baby ko

Naiuwi ko na yung new Tzu puppy namin. Malikot, makulit at mabait sya pero parang ayaw sa kanya ni Luckie.  The first time kasi nagkita sila, nilapag ni hubby si Chichi at dahil malaro sya, hinabol nya si Luckie.  Now, for two days na,  Luckie ignores her and ayaw magstay sa sala kasi nandun si Chichi.  Di ko mailabas totally sa cage si Chichi hanggat di pa nagwawarm up sa kanya ang panganay ko.  Paano kaya gagawin ko para mapadali ang pagiging friends nila?

Luckie doesn't growl or snap at her.  sobrang umiiwas lang sya.

Hi! I have a 3-month old shih tzu named Bailey. Nababasa ko kasi na nagbibigay kayo ng fish oil. May I ask para saan yun and paano nyo binibigay? Diba capsule yun? And different pa yun sa vitamins na binibigay? Thank you!

[Rel8]

Hello po....ask ko lang sana kung pano magdeworm ng 3month old na tzu? Gusto ko sana ako na lang magdeworm sa pup instead of going pa sa vet,suggestions naman po pls thanks!

^^hayaan nyo lang sila, give them time na makilala ang isat isa. do not change your routine para di malito at magselos si Lucky. Kailangan kasi maestablish yung pack bago sila magkasundo, good thing hindi nagshoshow si luckie ng aggression, mas madali sila magiging friends.

ang alam ko rin mas maganda magintroduce ng new dog sa neutral area, at opposite gender kasi kung sa bahay agad magiging territiorial yung first dog. pero kung natotolerate naman sya ni Luckie, wala kayo masyadong problema. let them sniff each other and play, wag nyo rin ispoil yung new dog sa harap ni Luckie para di magselos. it will take time bago sila maging friends, supervise nyo lang lagi. watch din kayo vids, mas maganda kung makita nyo how professionals do it

^yes iba pa ang fish oil, capsule nga sya. fish oil is rich in omega 3, a fatty acid that is good for the heart, joints, skin and coat. parang tuna din yan pero in oil form. Yung mga alaga ko, yung shih tzu lang ang may multivitamins kasi sya yung may kailangan, mahina kasi appetite. tapos may fish oil din sya daily. fish oil helps reduce inflammation lalo na kung may skin issues sila like allergies, mange, or may sakit to ease the pain. it also balances the omegas in the body, omega 6 kasi yung mostly nakukuha sa food(animal meat) pag kulang sa omega 3, dyan nagkakaron ng inflammation, dull/dry coat. so to avoid inflammation at para mas gumanda ang coat nila, magsupplement ng fish oil.

sa shih tzu ko iniipit ko pa sa meat kasi niluluwa, pero sa eb kinakain nya as treat. Dosage for healthy dogs is 100mg of EPA&DHA per every 10lbs, read the label to know how much epa&dha yung napoprovide per capsule. usually 300mg of EPA&DHA yan per capsule, so good yan for a healthy 30lbs dog. you can give up to 3x of the normal dose kung kailangan like kung may allergies, dry ang coat, may galis or may sakit sila.

share ko lang, yung eb ko may mange ngayon, and since last week I'm giving up to 5capsules per day. he weighs around 24kgs/52lbs so need nya around 1500mg daily for a therapeutic dose. tapos everytime I would check his skin, nakikita ko na ang dali tubuan ng hair yung mga bald spots at naging super soft and shiny ang coat nya. sa shih naman, very effective din ang fish oil pag may allergy, 2capsules lang nawawala na ang redness and scratching. I also take fish oil, at narereduce nya ang dysmenorrhea ko pag daily ko tinatake.

Hi sissies! My oldest dog 5 y/o has an ear hematoma.. the vet suggested to have it surgically removed or hayaan nalang mawala kaso papangit tignan..pinablood test na siya kahapon para if ever go sa surgery e masurvive nia yung anesthesia..e ayoko talaga ipaanesthesia has anyone of you experienced this before?

[babykat]

^^Sis, it's been almost four days and Luckie still won't come near the puppy.  And she has started to drool pag nandyan yung puppy.  Nagtatago sya under the bed or couch or anywhere else, basta wala yung puppy. I'm worried for her.  Pag kaming dalawa lang, she plays with me pero sa room lang yun.  Pag sa salas na or elsewhere na nandun yung puppy, parang afraid sya.  Iwas talaga sya and she drools like crazy.  Sabi ni vet, stress daw yun.  I don't know paano sila pagbabatiin ng puppy.  Ayoko sana ipamigay yung puppy pero ayoko din naman sobrang maapektuhan health ng baby ko.

Background pala ni Luckie, para kasing nabubully sya before nung puppy pa sya before we got her.  Her mom pushed her from the table and won't feed her.  Buti nga di namatay.  Her sister scratched her eye, buti na lang di sya nabulag.  Kaya naging Luckie ang name nya.  Could it be may effect yung sa behavior nya ngayon?

[yyaaddzz]

Mga sis question. I dont know kung off topic to kasi its about bringing a pet sa resto but since shih tzu naman ang bebe ko magtatanong na din ako dito hehe.
Ok kang ba siya isama sa Vikings?

[bailey0327]

Thank you so much sis abu! Very informative  Kailangan ko pa rin ba bigyan ng fish oil kahit na yung food nya is yung salmon recipe ng Go Nat? May kasama na yung Omega 6 & 3. And may I ask, ano reaction ng shih mo kapag nakakagat yung capsule? Gusto ba niya? Thank you again! 

[abuanddiego]

^you're welcome. oo sis bigay ka pa rin ng fish oil kasi iba yung quality ng nasa capsule kesa added lang sa dogfood. usually madami ng nawawalang nutrients sa dogfood kasi kung ano-anong process na dumadaan yan, at yung mga vitamins na nandyan mostly synthetic na. at kahit may omega 6&3, chondiotrin, chuva chuchu pa sila, minimal lang nilalagay, kulang pa rin sa daily requirement nila. Naku ayaw ng shih tzu ko ng fish oil lol! iniipit ko pa sa meat para kainin nya hehe. try mo sis ibigay as treat, pag di kinain ihide mo na lang sa meat para lunok agad hehe.

yyaaddzz, meron na bang vikings na may al fresco dining? ang alam ko lagi sila sa loob ng mall e, pag ganyan kasi laging no pets allowed lalo na kung food-related ang establishment. pero siguro kung may stroller sya, baka pumayag. yung mga restos na may seats outside, pumapayag naman kadalasan, pero ask nyo muna meron din kasing bawal kahit sa labas lang kayo. it happened to us at Domino's Silver City Tiende, bawal daw ang dogs kahit sa labas kami kumain. Che, eh ang seats nila yung usual aluminum lang naman tapos simpleng table with payong. buti pa yung katabi nila, Hap Chan kahit cushioned ang seats pumayag.

babykat, naku sis mukhang may trauma si Luckie based on your kwento. yes factor ang puppyhood sa magiging outcome ng adult behavior nila. kaya laging inaadvise na kumuha ng puppy from well-mannered parents and good kennel to avoid behavioral problems. Kababasa ko lang, drooling and hiding is a sign of stress, feeling nya siguro threat ang new puppy. and since nasanay sya na only dog, I'm sure nawiwindang sya ngayon.

hmm, sa tingin nyo ba kung gagamitin sa exercise yung energy nya, malelessen ang stress? ganyan kasi usual advice ng mga experts, daanin daw sa physical activity para maubos ang energy nila. kasi pag pagod na, wala ng pakealamanan, tutulog na lang sila. yung new puppy ba sis, makulit/maharot? kung mapuput at risk ang welfare ni luckie, try to consult a dog trainer/dog behaviorist para matulungan kayo.

[babykat]

Maharot yung new puppy sis.  as in super kulit.  nakacrate sya ngayon to lessen stress ni Luckie, and thankfully, kahit unti unti, nababawasan na ang pagiwas nya sa puppy.  Lately, sumasalubong na sya sa akin pag dumarating ako sa hauz.  then nakikipagharutan na sa akin after kumain.  di na din sya masyadong naglalaway.  For two nights already,  she would play with me and then haharap sa puppy.  magbabark sya while nakadapa pero nakataas yung bandang puwitan. sabi sa internet, this is a sign na nagyayayang magplay.

Kaso pag pinalabas na si puppy sa crate, todo habol naman kasi sya kay Luckie.

hi....new owner po ako ng shih tzu, she's already 10 weeks old...can you recommend po a good vet, new zapote las pinas...thanks po...

[bailey0327]

Sis abu, may marerecommend ka ba na brand ng fish oil? Naku sensya na, wala kasi akong alam dyan.. Hehe. May recommended mg ba? And ilang capsules a day? At tuwing kailan ko siya ibibigay? Thank you!

[solepurplelife]

^^Sis abby_ignacio, maraming pet owners dito go to Vets In Practice. Meron silang branch at 102A Alabang Business Tower, Madrigal Business Park, Alabang, Muntinlupa. Contact # 846-7730/ 842-8379. I think medyo pricey ang VIP pero make sure na lang na look for senior vets para matapatan ng good service yung gastos mo. BTW,  congrats to your new pet

[abuanddiego]

babykat, ayun may improvement na kahit papaano. wait pa kayo sis, naninibago lang yan si Luckie,exercise mo sila lagi both kahit di sabay to release the unwanted energy para pag nasa loob pagod na sila, malelessen ang harutan at bangayan.

oo sis sign of playful behavior yung nakataas ang pwet, search more on body language para alam mo kelan sila friendly or aggressive, that way madali mo malaman kung kelan dapat gumitna sa kanila

bailey, I use ATC local brand sya, meron sa sm groceries, watsons, landmark. nasabi ko na yung dose sis lol, onting backread lang. I give it as a treat pero nakaipit sa meat, ayaw kasi pag yun lang or nakahalo sa food.

abby, congrats on your new puppy. hindi ako makakatulong sa question mo, wala kasi akong alam sa south area haha!

[babykat]

^Pansin ko lang kay Luckie, ok naman sya sa puppy.  Pero ang pinakaayaw lang nya is when Chichi (the puppy) follows her all the time.  To the point na umiiwas sya tapos habol ng habol sa kanya yung maliit.  Tapos sinisiksik ni Chichi ulo nya sa may puwet ni Luckie.  Kaya itong prim and proper panganay ko, naiinis at lalong umaayaw sa bunso.
