Monster
What can I say about my Shitzu Maltese mix puppy Monster... his a monster! We got him on 06/16/2009 he was only 2 months. The breeders didn't take very good care of him, he smelled really bad he had poop stuck to his fur and very bad eye buggers.
When he 1st came home he was very shy and didn't want to play with anyone and just wanted to lay there. We figured it was because it was a new place for him. The 1st thing I did was give my Maltese x Shitzu a bath as I was giving him a bath Monster was filled with fleas :( Luckily we have other dogs and the shampoo was for fleas. That same night after his bath that took like 1 hour he went poop as I was cleaning it up I say he had worms. :( Poor puppies! :( 1st thing that morning I called the vet and they said it was tape worms from the fleas. So when I got home from work I gave him another bath and as I was giving him a 2nd bath I noticed he had patches of green stuff all over his skin. It almost looked like pus.
We took Monster to the vet they gave him Pills for his tape worms and Antibiotic for his skin problem... I also cleared him of all the fleas...after that day from the vet it was a completely different dog... he is so playful now a little hard to potty train but he's getting there. He did a lot better then all our other dogs. My Shitzu Maltese mix even growls and barks at our American Bulldog, too funny! I love my Monster!!!!!!
