lui lui actually love to play with pretty but pretty can play non stop, so lui lui faster go bed and hide , and have a rest ..
that's good to hear Hepy ear recover..a lot...Good...so that Hepy will not suffer ..make it want to scratch .

OH, careful yah.... shih tzu got longer body than legs, means they are prone to slip disc.... a painful back problem. Shih tzus should never jump up and down high places.

slip disc as in joints or back bone?
jack-jack once broke his leg cos jumping down from a small cage..

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 .. .

Slip disc is the spinal cord...

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 ??

Yups, that is true. You can Google BARF diet to check out what people feed to dogs. raw chicken neck is good but then the supermarket ones always get from farms that may give hormone injections on the neck... so get those organic or kampung chicken ones. I sometimes give pork leg bone but raw too. Can give raw chicken feet also but must clean properly and cut away the nails. Avoid the wing coz the bone is thinner and can splinter more I think.... I only give neck and feet.

aiks really ? but i got teach Pretty how to jump on my lap when i pat my lap twice and say jump . i hope this is ok...i will careful with this , i see when pretty play with lui lui ..with gentle way so she wont jump on bed...thanks hun to tell me..so i can careful ><

Yup, raw bones is very good for the teeth. My two at home have whole chicken carcasses very often. I usually buy them in bulk and I freeze them. I give it to them frozen. They can finish a whole carcass in less than 5 minutes. To exercise their teeth, I give them raw beef bones. These ones cannot chew until finish la. Too hard. If you are giving to them for the first time, be sure to scoop out the marrow first - just leave a little bit inside because if they are not use to it, they can have loose bowels.

As a start, you can give them the neck but like Hun said, give the kampung chicken one because the chemicals injected into the commercial ones.

Never ever give them cooked bones. This can splinter in their stomach. If you plan to go BARF completely, you will need to do plenty of research before you start. My dogs use to be on BARF but I just don't have the time anymore
