just adding some poisons..

hello everyone,

i am interested in maltese! its really cute and hope that i can keep it at my side one day. before that, i just hope to get more info regard maltese,
for example;
how to clarify it was a pure breed maltese?
and how to train it self toilet and obedient to owner..? will that easy?

Hi everyone.

May I ask one question here.
Dunno why sometimes my maltese vomit will vomit whitish/yellowish bubbles.
is your maltese having the same problem?
my vet said small breed doggie is common to hav this kind of problem.

I'm not an expert so I can't tell u 100% how to see if it was a pure maltese xD
but sometimes I go by feelings
because... u can easily differentiate between shih tzu, maltese n poodle or maltepoo

My girl is trained on wee wee pad so she will only go to the pad to do her business and for obedience I dun think its a problem if u start to train ur pup when she still a puppy. In my case my girl will only obedient with me if I hold her treats xD but when I bring her to the park she will follow me without leash even if I dont hold her treats. I think it depends on the pup personality itself



If your pup vomit some brownie/yellowish liquid it could mean ur pup is starving aka too hungry xD
I experienced it once when she was still a puppy as pup need to eat 3-4 times a day , but now no more vomiting.
and I dun think its a common problem for small breed because they will vomit brown/yellowish liquid because they're too hungry not because it some sort of sickness?

haha, its really obedience to you will? thats good.. i hope my future maltese can do so too!
will that easy to train a obedience pup? even ask its do not eat or etc.. i worried the pups overides me.. =='

oh ya... dunno why my doggie appetite vary from day to day...
sometimes he seems to like his biscuit so much.. but sometimes he dun feel like eating...
i feed him two meal (8am and 6pm) per day
but sometimes he dun even touch his breakfast.
i tot he grow older and its normal for him to eat one meal per day.

I started to feed him (3 mths old) with Pro Plan (he love it), then I heard pro plan is not good.
so i changed to Science Plan. After 10kg of Science Plan, he seems to be bored with it edy.
After that is Blackwood, he dun really like blackwood.
So I switch to Acana, but Acana is not available around my area.
So Pet shop nearby recommended Natural Balance. I double check the food rating seems okie.
so giving him Natural Balance now.
* on and off I oso feed him Cesar can food.

From now I recall, he start losing his appetite since Science Plan.
Then on and off he will skip meal. (The food is there juz he dun wan to eat)
How come ar?
I changed so many brand edy.
Every brand oso having the same problem.
Sometimes he like it, sometimes he dun.

should be gastric juice caused by hunger
mine was very picky with food when she was younger and would vomit those stuff on and off
imagine we have to hand feed her just to make sure she don't harm herself
touch wood, but now, she's much easier to feed

mine was very picky when she's younger
wasted quite a bit of food before settling down on eagle pack where she loved the holistic small breed
then eagle pack have to stop production
now on Artemis, so far so good as she's been having very good appetite

Obedience in my term u're talking about? xD
Well, she's stick to me and the type who will whine whenever I'm going out without her, so if I bring her to the park she will stick with me as if she scare I will run away LOL
but if u're taking bout obedience in training thats a diff story xD I did teach her some trick and she did well although sometimes she became so stubborn and will only perform if I hold her treats

You can actually train your pup earlier when u want it be really obedience, and u must have patient to teach If you worried the pup overides you, then you must not manja him/her too much and You must win over ur pup even if they give u their special puppy eyes
Mine is more to stubborn type? she likes to challenge me to see who's going to give up first, so I must stand strong and never let her win thou sometimes she did win over me as she got BRAIN xD she seriously can think how to make me angry and how to make me not angry by seeing her



How old is your maltese?
I'm not sure about this because I feed mine with raw diet
But since you mentioned that he tend to vomit brown liquid means he prefer starving himself rather than eat the kibbles?

my maltese is 1 yrs old + 1.5 mths now.
oh.. one of the pet shop nearby my house got artermis.
may be i shd try tat out...
thanks ya...

sigh... there gone my 10kg Natural balance.. juz opened the pack for 3 weeks oni...

that's why i would try small packs or sample packs before buying
even it those work, i'll buy the smallest pack first

all is not lost with your Natural Balance
you can try mixing it with food that work
else you can donate to the local animal shelter if you don't mind

in fact, every time oso i bought small pack first when confirm he like it then oni i buy bigger pack
So far this is the 2nd time i buy bigger pack(after he tried the small pack and seems like it)
dunno why he get bored so easily...

yaloh... will try to giv to spca or my fren lor. else wasted oso...

Hi, want to know if anyone puppy here tends to get excited when playing toys(like just nibbing) then turn around run away from the toys then come back to the toys nib again then run away.

Run in fast pace.
Is this normal for maltese puppy?

mine yes
even when I gave her pieces of apple, she will bring it to her bed n chew then back to the bowl to take another one to chew at her bed.
Same with playing, sometimes when I'm too busy to play with her, she will entertain her self by playing like that or when I play with her she will run back here n there

wow~ cool. thks for sharing all the foto, really great

Thanks for the reply. Then I not so worry already.
This only happen when I not free to play with her.

Besides apple and carrots, what other fruits can feed to maltese?

you can feed pear n mango too.. but so far I fed her pear, apple n carrot. never fed her mango and dun intend to lol
fruits that cant be fed is grape, raisin n kiwi, if not mistaken the seed will act as a toxic to their body?

mine likes mango
whenever i cut mango, she'll be sitting and looking straight at me

anyone giving away or selling maltese? prefer below 8 months.. my bro looking 1 at the moment.. sabah area.. thank you.. xD

I think not oni maltese puppy will do tis, my schnauzer play tis with my hands =="
Come and bite my hand then run away, then come again to bite my hand then run again...but oni playing bite, i oways scold her for doing tat...she quite a naughty girl...but when she play tat, she juz like a little human kid..hehe..

Sorry for posting here without owning a maltese =P
