hi there,the tail naturally grows to be a fan shape.mine is js showing...my 7 month old male gr.
perhaps u can show some pics here...maybe we can assist u.

she's beautiful.she needs grooming...brushing...if u do it regularly,her tail surely will look fan like....it's not really brushed.
gr nails supposed to be white in colour if ur saying the colour of the nail on the outside.can see the blood vessels easily...

it's better u have a leash just in case if she saw a cat,she'll sure run and chase it.like my ben.now i leash him whenever we go for walks coz he will chase cats...he dislike cats and birds.

oh i see...hmm...actually i don't seem to understand why malays react such a way lor...i have seen some malays love dogs and have dogs.but most dislike n will cause mischief every night in front of my house making my dogs angry.
best thing,dun let her follow anyone la...later they say we call the dog to bite them etc....put her on the leash.that way u can control her.

hi there...they won't get diarrohoea..but it's best if u give carrots that cooked with chicken stew...then got the taste ma...whenever i make chic stew,i'll be sure to give some to ben whch i add carrots,potatoes and tomatoes. if they are sick,give honey.

no...the chicken stew like we eat one....put chicken,tomatoes,potatoes and carrots,cabbage,onions and chicken cube...
i cooked extra so that i can give the soup with the chicken to ben...

i din put much also la.put half nia....js to give taste to the soup...

umm,u better get her to be checked by the vet.better not to do DIY.later scared the bleeding will not stop...

hey there...congrats on having a gr. well,when ben was 5 to 6 months old,his fur didn't grow long like now.short like the labs.tail also dont have the fan shape. if wanna have him to have good shiny fur,give him fatty acids (cod liver oil) or the cod liver oil capsules like we humans take. (4 caps per day).u can see the fur shiny in few weeks.
he is definitely young now.when he is full grown,he'll be a nice handsome boy.do give him multi vitamins as well which u can purchase from the vet.diff vets sells diff supplements.do check with them which is proper.also,when harry is still in progress of growing up,give him calcium supplement which helps to make his bones stronger.we don't want to see our dogs leading to HD or any health problems rite?

no problem
ya...they can take the cod liver oil too....fattty acids are the one the oils inside cod liver oil capsule...same thing same function...

hey tty,really don't need to give supplements? what kibbles u give them?im givin eagle pack.ben's got a weak leg.diagnosed by the vet he has one long and one short hind leg. that is why he limps.so im giving him calcium everyday to make his legs strong...

yeah,he's healthy but limping n walk with three legs only.the vet advised me to give supplements.his limp leg don't really have muscle so have to let him get exercise

not HD.its his bones..one is short.the other is normal.did x ray dy.vet say cant do anything unless make him exercise so tat he make use of his leg.he seems better now but occasionally he'll limp.vet said this will appear when he's bt 6-7 months.its a genetic disorder.i asked my breeder n he checked ben's dad n mum no problem.it may due from past generations.hhe wouldn't know too...

hey ya....well,for me,i don't feel uncomfortable giving ben chicken feet ler...coz all the fats and no meat there..usually my family won't give our dogs chicken feet.we usually gve them chicken meat.
besides,im not sure bt tomato.but i do give banana,apples,papayas,orange,mango(occasionally),durian(occasionally).sometims i do give yoghurt too.

as i said.i won't give them the parts...but ribs,drumstick all i got give.pig one i so far never give them b4.i give chicken meat.

wahhhhhhhhhhh.....how come ben so ganas one?well,my ben also sometimes look at the stray dog outside and will bark non stop.but when i take him out for walk,when he sees dog,he'll make his escape first.coz some dogs are more aggressive than him.wouldn't want to harm anyone or himself.so far,ben didn't bite or fight with any dogs he make friends with like neighbors' dogs.

but i need help to train a rottweiler.she's 11months old and doesn't know how to behave.trained her when young but then she developed mange and js fully recovered last month.she's now very active.even though make barriers at the side garden so as to not go to the front coz she bites all letters,jumps on us upon reaching home.js dunno how to train her again coz when she's sick,she became very less active coz she spend most of her time scratching.now she's more like a 1 yr old kid will touch things that can break in the house...

yeah,i think it's the weather.ben is a indoor dog when i haven't got a job la..now outdoors...except on certain days when my brother does not have college classes,then he gets to stay in.did u walk Bigben with a harness?i js bought one last sunday and ben is certainly going well with it.i get better grip of him than js with the leash.

roxy is pretty tough.she's huge and when we show her anything like a cane,she will bark and then jump and snatch it away from us.she's damn smart and full of mischiefs.dunno wat to do with her.

i believe ben is not a coward.maybe js being protective over me.maybe...

hahaa....yeah really cute pup ler...cuter than ben when he's young.when he's young,he's so plump n puffy....huskies are great too..

maybe you should consult another vet to seek another opinion..it's rare to see a pup with a tail like this.ben's tail was pretty long when he's a pup...it's js a suggestion.up to you to decide.

mine started to eat again...but gradually increasing.still didn't eat all of his food.at least he eats..
mine is 9 months too...where r u from?
