SO my mother called me telling me her 2-year-old Maltese is favoring a hind leg. Earlier today, he received his annual shots (Corona Vaccine & Leptos Pirosis) one in each leg (not sure which), but he's limping. I first asked her if he ate normally, and if he's still playful -- she said "yes"...

Well, the vet took a look at Tidus' lump and after looking at his history, she noticed that he recently received his rabies vaccines and that the lump was right where the history mentioned the shot was given (on his rear right leg, upper thigh). She said since the shot was given last Monday (the...

Well, I'm checking it out now and it doesn't seem to bother him. But I can definitely see it from far away. It's for of a small dime sized ball that protrudes out than a large mass. I am able to move it around (softly I don't want to make it angry) and he is pretty fine with it actually. But...

So, I got a call from the Mrs. today that she found a lmp on Tidus' hind leg. I asked her if she could really notice it, and she said she could and that it's wasn't there the night before. Now, I already called my vet, and he's set to see her on Friday, but I always like to get some kind of...

Well, Tidus seems to be going through this. I don't know if it's part of his puggle nature, or if he is getting bit because I find tiny bumps on the bottom of his paws. I took him to the vet, but one said it was from a dirt patch outside my house and that I should wash his feet every time...

Ok Tidus has become a dog no longer a puppy. I need to stop feeding him puppy food (Iams Smart Puppy) and I don't know what is good. I was recommended Science Diet and Pro Plan. Does any one know which one is good. I know that there are many raw food diets out there but I wanted to keep him on a...

Well, I put Tidus in his plastic crate to see if he will feel more secure and I played with him and walked him right before bed to tire him. I know at first he will feel confined because a friend of ours gave us the wired cage to her lab, and Tidus has well pretty much a mansion to move around...

Well, last night my wife gave me the death stare for trying to crate train on days she needs to go to work early. I decided to drag tidus' crate into my room and beside my bed. It kind of calmed him down but in the end he still made noise. I'm gonna try it from there. Also a friend of mine...

Well, its day #2 of crating and as you can tell I'm writing this at 2:38am!! Yes I am trying to stick to it, the little bugger knows how to whine so I think he is hurt but when I go check he's just trying to get me. I am not sure if he will calm down if I put him in my room with the crate but I...

Ok Tidus (puggle), is now a year old. He is on a system where he tells me when he needs to go or when I can tell he needs to when he stares at me. But at night even if I try to lock him inside my room, which is away from his regular indoor potty spot under my table, he will go in my room. I am...

Iam Smart Puppy. And I give him a cup of food only once a day that's it. With the occasional treat after I walk him.

Simple question: Tidus poops every time I walk him. Is this normal? He just reached 1 year old and he is still on puppy food which I plan on changing once he runs out of this food. Is the puppy food what causes him to go every time? My problem is he is fine in telling me when he need to GO, but...

Ok, so Tidus will be 1 yr old in August and he still goes to the bathroom in the house. I walk him 3 times a day, and let him in the back yard throughout the day. But at night I let him sleep with me and sometime through the night he will go out and poop or pee on the floor. I have tried to...

Hey guys. I usually buy Tidus the same food over and ovaer again. But lately the company (I'm sure I can't remember the name) introduced a new formula with Fish Oil in it. Well I tried it and in the last 3-5 days Tidus has had diarrhea. There are solid stools sometimes but most of the times...

Ok Tidus has now reached 8 months. I dont even know if he is stil considered a puppy? But anyways, my parents brought over thier 5 month maltese and as soon as it got here. Tidus was happy and energitic and playful. And then he pee'd all over different furniture in my house. I know this is his...
