Hi and welcome to this family. I have a female english cocker spaniel and her name is Tammy. She is abt 1 yr & 1 mth old. Regarding her size now, like shihtzu's size only & maybe she wont' grow big anymore (cos' this type - shld be big). I have asked my vet before why her size is like that & his reply is maybe when she is a baby, she didnt' get more nutrional or vitamins frm her mummy (cos' her mom gave birth to 12 little puppies). But I still love her v.v.v. much and the others too. She is cute and smart too, etc. Sometimes when u are angry with her when she's naughty, she knows cos' she look at u with her sad looking eyes, pitiful look until u dun feel like scolding, punish her, etc. She understands. U know lah. I hope someone can help me regarding my Tammy . Cos I need some advice and help or etc regarding her . Cos' she is having demodex but now slowly recovering. But I understand frm my Vet (a kind, helpful, understanding gentleman) that it is very common in english cocker spaniel. It really breaks my heart to see her now in this situation . I really love her very ...... muchie cos I treat her like one of my kids. Its heartbreaking to see her like this. No matter how she looks like or what, I still love her vvvvvv muchie. According to the Vet, it takes time to cure or heal this disease. Now she's is getting better cos my Vet gave her some medication (itchy, antibiotic pills and some watery liquid - which is poisionous - that means after bathing her and dry her, then only rub her with cotton wool with this liquid every 3 days). Oh, sorry I didnt' mention where the demodex is located. It can be found near her mouth, neck, her legs (for eg. I saw some of the dogs having this kind of disease in the internet). Underneath her skin is dry, peeling skin (is it how u phrase or say). I do gave her Cod Liver Oil Pills to eat too. I am giving her Nutro Choice - Puppy Lamb & Rice (Dry). I have asked some rgding dog food - like what is the best choice - some say "Canidae" , California Natural - Puppy Lamb & Rice, etc. Cos I dun want to keep changing her food. Pl advise. Please do give me advice and help on this cos' I hope to see her getting better and happier before this. Before this, she was very lively, happy, etc. really, truly appreciated all your advice and help. Once again, thank you v. much. NB: sorry for been long winded, etc. (chong hei - cantonese version).
