the vet scratched something from his inner ear and put under miscrocope to check. She checked twice and double confirmed those are not mites. She said they look like dried scalp. Just like human ma ... when ur skin is accidentally peeled off, it'll bleed right? Then after bleeding, it'll become clotted and will grow a layer of dried scalp. When there's the layer of dried scalp, it's normally very itchy and urges u to scratch. Same concept. And I noticed he only started scratching after he came back from grooming.

Pretty has shorter legs to jump onto the bed eh .. . Lui Lui so "pa pai" arr .. dun wan to choi Pretty .

So happy ... Hepy's ears are recovering (i think). The clotted blood start to peel off today. I jz cleaned his ears with ear solution lightly. At first he dun let me clean .. then after I touch it lightly, then he let me clean but got struggle a bit. Need to talk to him and give him treats to calm him down . Most of the clotted blood peeled off liao. But then the skin still hasn't look like normal yet lar. Still got small tiny red/black dots around. Now his head doesn't smell that much already - smell reduced .. keke .

then hor, wanna ask .. regarding his body .. near his nipples, also got a few of these thingy. Hardened and when i scratch, can peel off too. Is this a sign of recovering ma ?

No no no .. not the normal spots u're mentioning. The normal spots . only got 2 - 3 like that. The one i'm saying are like ermm ... something like his ears lor. Jz like hardened white bubbles. But they seemed to be dried already. More easily to be scratched off than the day when I took him to the vet. Is this a sign of recovery?

As for the outer part of his ear .. got the white bubble-like thingy too. The other day, still kento scratch one. But jz now when i tried to scratch it off, it peeled off easily and no sign of scar or anything on the outer skin of the ear - i guess this is showing a sign of recovery .. hehe.

Kewl .. Hepy is recovering .. hehe. No need to bring him for a second vet. His ears show fast improvement. All the dried scalp came off and now his ears look more like a healthy ear except some red/black spots. But recovered 70% already .. hehehe . His body and legs - those spots are dried up already. I think they'll come off anytime now and once again, he's such a happy Hepy...hehehe.

Jz wondering if he has fully recovered, do i still need to give him the antibiotics until finish and apply the ear drop?

ya .. pronounced as "happy". Today he peed on the floor twice . When i take him to the newspapers, he din pee/poo at all. Then 1 hour later, suddenly peed on the floor. Jz now too .. .

i read somewhere that giving raw is good for ur dog's teeth. Can I give raw chicken neck to hepy once in a week ??

Oh ya .. i bought the baking soda from "bake with yen" .. 1kg is RM 3.90 but still cheap.... hehehe. The organic shop that crazymouse mentioned is RM 2.50 for 500g. So, the cheapest is still "bake with yen". And i bought a pack of greenies - burn a hole in my pocket - RM55.90 (i thinK).

i bought 12oz one. "petite" size and i cut them all into halve .. LOL. Going to give him half piece per week so that i won't feel so heart-pain . I think those can last me for quite a long time .. hahahaahah.

i din get conditioner for my MS and his hair is smooth too wor. I'm using Poochio at the moment. Plan to try other brand after this finishes. So far so good lor - jz that the shampoo doesn't have any strong fragrance.

Btwn, why wanna dock MS's tail? I thot MS's tail is very very short only ? ?_?

do u still the link of MS with long tail ? Hehhehe.. Im' not sure if Hepy's tail is docked or not . I din even know MS has long tail ... i thot their tails are all cocktail size .

how to make the ears crop? I thot MS all have cropping ears but Hepy does not have it. After the groomers trimmed away all the hair on hepy's ear, i thot his ears would crop but they din - still the same .. dropping . How to make it crop?

how u actually make the ears crop? why is it cruel to make the ears crop?

u mean they cut the ears just to make it stand up????? OMG!!!!

i thot da ears will stand up automatically if you trim da ear hair botak .. hehe. Didn't know in order to make the ear crop, u haf to cut it off .

yayaya ... 1kg is RM 3.90 . Still cheap .. hehe. Got small bottle one also - RM 0.90 per bottle. But I think buy 1kg better lor coz i use it most of the time . During bath time, i also use. After i shower Hepy, the last bucket of water ar .. i add in some baking soda and stir the water. Then bath Hepy with that final bucket of water to get rid of any dog smell (which Hepy doesn't have lar but jz for hygienic purpose). hehehe.

i think Hepy's tail is not docked - quite long .. hehehe. LONG & SLIM & CUTE!!

Not too sure the tail is docked or not .. hehe. The tip feels like sausage .. hahaha. I dunno Hepy is wud coour also . Last time before he went for grooming, he's BLACK in colour . Then after grooming, suddenly become totally greyish. Now that his hair is growing again, it's black again liao . I also dunno wud colour .. hhahahahahahaha. But then still love him a lot!! Hehehe .. he's cute

Lui Lui has docked tail ma? Or normal long tail ? . I'm not sure about hepy. Waiting for crazymouse to clarify .. hehe. His tail looks like cocktail sausage and it's rounded at the tips. It's not prickly like wud crazymouse mentioned .. hehe. I'm waiting for her answer . But regardless it's docked tail or not, I still love him . He's a very special puppy to me!!! Means a lot to me!! He teman me when I'm bored / sad .

nah .. kenot bring him for dogshow also .. hahahaha. He doens't haf MKA and I neva intend to bring him for show . Jz wanna noe more about him . Since u guys have been mentioning about the docking and cropping thingy, so, jz curious if Hepy has a docked tail . But whether he's docked or not, it doens't make a difference to me. He's still my boy

measure from top is 2.5 inches ... measure from his "*******" there .. then 3.5 inches.
