i have a Q. does Ms smell when doesnt bath?

I tried not bathing MS for 2 weeks and he din smell at all.  I wanna noe how long can he tahan not bathing and will not produce the "doggy" smell .  I tried it once only but need to check his ear daily and if got wax, then clean lor.  And pluck the ear hair if grow liao.  Then wipe away the "ngan si" daily lor.  So far, hepy doesn't smell at all under my care lar.  But I do bath him once every week.  Even if not smelly, sure dirty one (dust, etc).

Wanna ask something.  Last nite i started mixing olive oil into Hepy's kibbles.  I fed him at 645 pm.  He peed at newspaper (i directed him there) straight after dinner.  Then 15 min later, I took him there again and he din poo.  So, I left him be and repeat every 15 min until 1230 am when I go to bed .. he still din poo at all.  So, I just put him in the cage and i go zzzz.  I woke up jz now .. no poop in his cage at all.  I fed him at 730 am just now (as usual)..... then put him to newspaper .. he peed a lot .. but until now still no poo yet.  Why ar ?  Could it possibly be that he ate his poops up? But I can't smell any poop wor. Usually if he poo, i can smell the poop (very light smell only from those treats i gave him).

He jz pooped  but very little only.  Saw him galloping out from the tray to my bed . 

Btwn, the olive oil .. i give one teaspoon ONCE or TWICE  a day ?

LOL!!!!!  U love Hepy too much izzit?  ROFLMAO .  Don't want Lui Lui liao ar ?? 

Then i guess he din eat his own poop.  No smell of poop in his mouth *relieved*.
Yay .. u're right.  If take good care of MS, they don't smell one.  Hepy after one week also no smell at all .

Hmm maybe lor. I saw one very cutie de MS @ MV Pets Wonderland keke

erm for female i think black n white would be nicer rite

this is very cute. the eye brow fur will grow so long ka? haha

all MS will grow dat long?

Digitral won't poke into the eye?

Joanna : MY friends shih tzu not smelly de wo..lol

so cute nehhhh lui lui de eyebrow is swept to both sides isit?  aw cute

digitral, how old was lui lui when she turns into her maximum size?  I wanna noe if Hepy is at maximum size now coz he weighs 4.5 kg now.

Not he's guai and lay down there quietly.  He was unhappy, having to wear the cone .. LOL.  But today he's orite ady.  Playing and jumping around.

Sometimes, some dogs that go for grooming may already have skin problems and if the same equipment is used for other dogs, the bacteria/virus can spread. That's why technically, all grooming equipment should be sterilised in between dogs.

U guys think it's injuries from the grooming? Every piece looks like dried scalp to me - pieces of clotted blood.  Now he doesn't let me clean his ears - i think he's sked of it.  I dun think they sterilise the equipments coz a lot of ppl - good business.  At first I took him to Pets Family for grooming, then the lady told me "full" .. so, i took him over to Pets Buddy lor.  Kinda regret. 

Digitral .. yupe, my last time taking Hepy for grooming.  After this, i'm going to groom him myself.  Going to get a clipper set myself ... hehe.

No, no , no...I am NOT saying that bacteria caused Hepy to suffer. I really don't know what happened to Hepy.

I was just responding to Crazymouse saying that the scissors sometimes not clean properly and was just explaining why grooming equipment should be cleaned.

jtl .. hahah .. got it .. thx for explaining . hehe .

digitral, ya, they're all dried scalp.  All are clotted blood.  Oh, Hepy is so used to the cone already .. hehe.  He's behaving like himself once again and going berserk when playing like usual.  Just that he doesn't let me touch his ears. And he kept wanting to scratch lor - should be very very itchy.  I took him to St Angel's (puchong) for the vet.  Is it a good one?  I plan to take him to SK's Baby Pets if still doens't recover.

Dataran sunway ar .. not so familiar with the area .. hehe.  I dun think Hepy's ears will recover fast.  The scalp / clotted blood is VERY THICK ar.  Not jz a normal thin layer of dried skin.  It's kinda thick.  So, i guess it won't recover that fast.  Need some time.  Happy to see him "happy" back again .. hehehe .  Oh ya .. he zzzzz and he dreamt (i think).  He suddenly barked and fast fast sit upright .

syrian, last time jack jack use 2 b like dat. he had ear mites den he started scratching til his ear bleed. hv 2 keep on clean da wound so wont hv infection. i put anticeptic cream on the wound, the vet says can.

digitral, pretty is doing well wif luilui isnt she.. nice nice!

think mayb da groomer did something wrong to his ears.
both ears?
i think hv 2 wait til the new layer of skin grows out, den peels off. dogs hv better immune system compared 2 humans. the mean time jus feed him some lamb and rice kibbles or biscuits 2 recover the skin. supplements may help too.
