Hi! I'm Gina! Smile

I have a maltese as well. His name is Oscar, born on the 26th Feb 03. So, he's around 9 months now. He's very naughty but loveable! Wink

Hi Lisa!

Thanks for the complement! Blush

Oscar may look cute but wait till you see the way he eats his dinner. It's like i'm forcing him to eat the yuckiest thing in the world! Tried so many types of dog food...still, no luck on him eating properly.

Hiley looks cute too! Does she have any problem eating? She's "Sam Seng" ? Hahaha! i thought only male dogs are Sam Seng.

Do give Hiley a hug for me!!

Luv, Gina & Oscar

Hi, I'm Catheryn, a new parent to a lovely Maltese fur baby... totally lovable and extremely adorable, except when she chomps on my toes in the morning... She's in the teething period. Crazy

Unfortunately, I've only gotten her for 3 weeks before I had to leave for Seattle for 3 weeks. I'm in Seattle now, posting the latest picture I've gotten of her, taken 2 days ago. Am looking forward to seeing my baby when I fly home this weekend.

I hope you can all share your experiences with your Maltese babies, or any dog related information, with me. Smile

... Truly appreciate it...

Hi Gina,

My Chloe is a greedy munchkin... She licks her food bowl clean in like under 2 minutes... I feed her Purina Pro Plan, puppy formula. She seems to love her food, so maybe you'd like to try that.

However, I'm planning to switch her to Eukanuba or IAMS once she finishes this package. I read that these 2 brands are recommended for Maltese. Do note that some brands contain colouring which would stain a Maltese's fur... so, watch what you feed your baby... Smile

Give Oscar my hugs...

Re: [sweeeng] Maltese Onwers... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Swee Eng,

I was wondering if you could advise more on tear staining. This is a common problem amongst Maltese and I'd like your advise on how to tackle the problem...

Other than wiping the eye area everyday, what do you do to minimise the tear stains? Are those tear stain solutions available in pet stores such as "Crystal Eye" effective? Or do you have your own formula for removing tear stains?

Cheers,
Catheryn

I'm not quite sure how to cure those tear stains besides wiping them almost everyday. I do not purchase any product for their tear stain. It's just that when they grow elder, they cry less, their tear stains just goes off like that... I think the best solution might be... making them happy.. Smile

Cos my sister's Maltese use to have very white fur until he (the dog) became sensitive and keep on crying then the whole face became brown...

Hi Swee Eng...

Will take your advise and try to keep my baby happy... Already spoilt her with lots of chew toys. Just bought her 3 Kongs as well from US, a chew toy that I couldn't find in KL/PJ/Subang, not for small breeds anyway. These pet stores all stock Kongs for large breeds, grande sized... nothing for toy breeds Unsure

.

Thanks a lot for the advise... Cool

Re: [catheryn] Maltese Onwers... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Catheryn,

I'm not sure if you'll benefit anything from getting those "kong" cos my maltese doesn't seem to like them at all. Moreover the "kong" the you buy is for bigger dogs. My male maltese likes to play ball with me wherelse my female maltese just likes to stay beside me. She doesn't want anything except me stroking her. She'll follow me wherever I go and stick by me like glue...

Regards,

Swee Eng

Re: [sweeeng] Maltese Onwers... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Swee Eng,

Thanks for the note... I couldn't get any Kongs for toy breeds back in KL/PJ. I tried all the pet stores I could find. You're right, they're all for large breeds, grande sized!

To get the Kong specifically for toy breeds, I checked the internet and I found them in Petco here in Seattle. So, Chloe's all set with her new chew toys for Christmas. They have different strengths for different age groups: puppy and adult. So I bought her 3! Enough to last a while until my next trip overseas.

I wanted to get the "puppy Kong" specifically to help sooth Chloe's teething gums, so she'll stop chomping on my toes. Wink

Right now, Chloe only has one Kong ball which she loves to play with coz I stuff treats in it (with levels of difficulty), and she amuses herself trying to get the treat out of the ball. I also smear peanut butter inside the hollow of the Kong ball so she tries her darnest to get to the peanut butter. The rest of her toys are the furry soft toys.

You're lucky you've got a docile female Maltese. Smile

Mine is just really hyperactive at the moment... maybe because she's still in the puppy playful stage. So, she's been nicknamed Gojira (Godzilla) as well as Little Diablo (Little Devil)! Hopefully, she'll calm down as she grows older...

I'd love to meet you and your fur kids... I'm sure I could learn lots from a Maltese veteran like you Blush

Hi Cat! Nice to know you! How are you?

Your Chloe reminds me so much of Oscar when he was a baby. She's adorable! Shocked

Does she want a husband when she grows up? Do let my Oscar be her first choice. hehe! Blush

Thanks for the advice on Dog food. I didn't know that colouring in dog food would make a different. I better watch out. Right now, Oscar seems to be fine eating Science Diet for puppies. I guess it depends on his mood nowadays, somedays it's so easy to get him to eat. On other days, he looks at his food as if it's alive and will eat him instead.

Lots of sloppy kisses from Oscar to your Chloe! And a big hug frm me to Chloe!

Re: [gina_g] Maltese Onwers... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Gina,

So sorry about the late reply... been trying to catch up on sleep as well as catching up with work in KL.

Thank you so much for the compliments on Chloe.. yes, she's got a cutie face.. She grew quite a fair bit of hair while I was away in the States for 3 weeks.

I haven't started thinking about her husband yet, coz to me, she's still my little baby... only 4 months old. Ahahaha!!! But, I'll definitely keep Oscar in mind for a potential hubby. Sly

I've switched Chloe's food to Eukanuba, Puppy formula for Small Breeds. She takes a longer time to eat because she's chewing the kibble now, instead of gobbling them down in seconds.. But, she seems to be perpetually greedy for food. She'll do anything for food/treats...

Took her to the vet last Sat, and the vet cautioned me that Maltese tend to get fat very easily. Wink

Christmas greetings to you and Oscar! from Chloe and Cat...

Hi Swee Eng, all Maltese owners out there...

I'm having a little of difficulty grooming my Chloe... She gets matted hair in places, so I'll be using a detangling solution to try and smooth those out.

I've been doing her ears and nails myself, but would certainly like to know of any professional groomers out there who're experienced with Maltese. Any recommendations?

Would really appreciate the recommendations and feedback (either via email or personal postings).

Cheers everyone. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Re: [catheryn] Maltese Onwers... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Catheryn,

Before calling it a quit, maybe u should comb your doggie's hair slowly and bit by bit to untangle the whole thing. If it's really very serious, maybe u can use a scissors but not cut it jes like that... cut it following the way the growth of the hair... and make sure you don't accidently cut your doggie's skin.

Once it's done, make sure next time u either keep your doggie's hair short or do comb it everyday... to avoid it happening again...

Regards,
Sweeeng

Re: [sweeeng] Maltese Onwers... [In reply to]	Can't Post

A vet once told me to use warm (not too warm lah!) water to wipe the fur (affected area). But you have to do it very often (daily) because they tear a lot. The other one is the mouth area. That's very hard to keep white.

<--My Snowy was white as snow when she was a pup. That's why I called her Snowy (Siew Pak). After 7 years, I gave up on wiping her with warm water. No matter how persistent I am, the brown stills develop over time. I guess the colouring gives her some character. The mature look. I still like her pure white. YOu just have to love them as they are!

Hey SweeEng,

Thanks for all your advice... It's great to have an experienced hand's point of view...

I've got it sorted out now... While at the K-9 event, Chloe got a free grooming and my friend got the recommended conditioner. That has certainly helped, and now Chloe's fur is really soft and tangle-free... Smile

Thanks again for the advice...
