Tzu Pics Watch your face around their cute faces....
We took the dogs for a bike ride in their new carrier today, along with some running around.
Later in the day, Kuma (left) was laying on the couch and my wife came kiss his head and he bit her, drawing blood from her upper lip.
My wife is shaken, but following cleaning with soap and water, the bleeding has stopped.
We aren't exactly sure what caused it, his last visit to the vet was without major issue, he was possibly startled, but as stated in another post..
we need to remember that our cute dogs are dogs and be open to their cues and use caution!
I hope you are having shih-tzatstic weekends!

Tzu Pics Guess that’s no longer my weighted blanket then!
He has 2 beds, but sleeps on ours with us. He has a fluffy blanket on every sofa in the house to snuggle up to.
He has also now chosen the £150 weighted blanket as his own 😂❤️

Tzu Questions Does anyone else have a shihtzu who has a disability? How are they doing?
This is Barney, aged 12 years old. He’s had a lot of eye problems and has eventually had to have both removed. Best thing I ever did for him, he’s pain free and loving life. So proud of how he’s coped 🫶🏻🥰🐶

Tzu Pics Jerry and his toys
I often talk about Jerry's toys. He is completely uninterested in anything that is not Lure Rod or similar. He is an avid hunter, wants to chase after cats, birds and squirrels, lol.
Here he is with his dummies that he chews on or plays tug war with. I recently threw out stuff he is no longer using.

Tzu Questions Anal gland issues
Vent post I guess.
On March 24th, Luna had her vaccinations as well as her anal glands expressed as she was scooting her butt. On March 28th, she was still showing discomfort so back to the vets. Her anal glands had become infected as she was still licking her bum (I didn't think to put a cone on her). She was prescribed antibiotics and her anal glands were expressed again. Now she's wearing a cone 24/7 (unless we are out for a walk). Fast forward to April 4th and she's still uncomfortable so we had it rechecked and her right gland was full again! He upped her antibiotics a bit. We're at $600 so far 😫
She has been taking Glandex since November to help prevent this issue so I'm a little frustrated. I started looking into what helps with anal glands and it seems the fiber in her current food (K9 Naturals 2-2.5%, depending on the protein) might be lower then the recommended amount (2.5-4.5%).
I have stopped the Glandex and started using No Scoot to see if that helps. I have also added pumpkin and the pet store suggested adding quinoa. I have also switched her food to Stella and Chewys with 5% fiber, which I'm financially not able to continue at $180 a month so I'll continue with the K9 Naturals with added quinoa and see if that helps.
Part of the issue is she's a VERY picky eater and she LOVES the K9 Naturals so I'd like to stay with that.
I really don't want this to be an on-going issue. My last dog, Princess, was plagued with skin and allergy issues (completely different food and issues) and wore a cone a lot and I don't want Luna to live like that 😪.
Just needed to vent somewhere, thanks for listening 🥰
