Hi Jessica,
..... Im glad she stop eating poo and hope she will maintain lor.... The enzymes tablets called BIOTASE, 56 tablets for RM28. Im not sure whether can get it from retail outlet or not cause i got it from the vet.
Last time she will poo 3 to 4 times in a day but now she only poo twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
That day Kiko accidently swallow a rubber band tat i use to tie up her hair in the afternoon, i was so worried and was hoping she will poo it out. In the evening she was playing and scratching underneath the sofa then she swallow a big piece of cotton without me noticing it. And after few hrs later she vomit everything out.....

the best is get vets to prescribe the de-wormin pills, cuz these pills are prescribe accordin to ur doggie's weight, the heavier the dog the more tablets it will need. usually for small to medium size doggies, the costs for the whole course of de-wormin pills will not exceed RM15. i dunno the price for bigger doggies. as for heartgard the brand is called heartgard, heartgard plus is somethin more advance same manufacturer & brand also but with protection fr more worms compared to heartgard. i didnt get zeus heartgard yet cuz he's under medication for his skin problem at his paws

Hi,
My Kiko kibbles finish oredi, all the pet shop in port dickson and seremban dont sell royal canin for mini junior. They only have medium breed junior for 11kg to 20kg puppy. The shop owner say its okay to feed Kiko with that but im a bit worried! So i only buy 1kg of kibbles for Kiko to eat till this coming sunday then ill go PJ buy royal canin mini junior one...
Its all my fault, thought that PD pet shop here are selling my Kiko kibbles as they said mini junior kibble sold out oredi. If order need to wait till next month.
What do u think? Is it ok to feed her with medium breed puppy kibbles for few days?

hi mykiko, is the enzymes tablet really works???
I had a hard time with my rooney, he always poop few times a day...perhaps around once every 3-4 hours..and whenever after he poops, he eats it or plays with it. Im not sure whether is it because of the nutri-cal supplement i mixed it with the dog food i've given him coz he hardly eats nowadays.
makes me feel quite sad coz he is so thin...and he doesnt eat much unless i mixed it with the supplement. Im taking him to the vet this sat to get his 2nd jab coz last weekend the vet says not recommended if rooney is not feeling well..she suspect rooney has a limb inside the throat or infection.
Pls advice. had no idea how to make him eat more than usual. and the eating poops problem.

Hi Jessica,
I kind of like royal canin, coz it wont go extremely soft when i soak the kibbles for about 5 mins. For eukanuba it will go very soft and smelly. As my niece also having a male shi tzu called bobo, she said after switch to royal canin bobo fur become more healthy. My other fren said it make their dog bone stronger...
And when i first feed her with Euka, i have to feed her one by one if not she don wan eat. After i switch to Royal, she will jump with joy each time im preparing her food. Luckily she like the medium breed kibble too... maybe is also royal canin so she have no complaint....

Hi,
So sorry to hear that Rooney is not feeling well...
I think there is two reason why rooney dont want to eat the kibbles, one is bcoz of his throat infection (which i hope is not) and second is he dont like the taste of the kibble given. Maybe you should think of switching to another brand of kibble. Are you feeding Rooney with dry kibble or did you soak the kibble first?
Last time my Kiko also eat her poo almost everyday, the vet said she might be lack of enzyme. So after one week on enzyme medication, she will only poo twice a day and no more eat her poo....Maybe you should check with your vet about the enzymes tablet called Biotase.
Try not to let Rooney out of the hse or play with other doggy coz he havent had his 2nd jab.
Hope this help....

oh my....i hope its not the infection....the vet has given me the vitamins and antibiotic for rooney, and its already 5 days, he looks abit more healthy than the first week when i brought him back...
perhaps i might need to consider to change the food coz it seems like he doesnt like the food that much, he will get excited when other people eating their dinner or lunch..but when he looks at his food, he turn away. but the previous owner says all the other pups (i mean the bro and sis of rooney) also eating science plan.
I did separate the kibbles into two part, one soak a bit with water and another is dry. HE is sometimes quite choosy, he will eat abit the softer one..but sometimes eat the dry one. my head also headache lio. Dont know how.

Hi,
There is no need to worry lah as you said he looks a bit healthy oredi..
I always soak Kiko kibble eventhough she also like to have it dry. I think Rooney don like his kibble, if possible maybe you can change to other brand... Maybe Rooney is not like their bro and sis, he is like his grandpa or grandma or etc... Or have u try feeding him one by one...
I gotta feed my Kiko one by one when i first feed her with Euka... now no need lor, she will jump and bark for joy when im soaking her kibble.
No need to headache lah.... just try changing the kibble for Rooney first and Good Luck!!!
