being a thickly-furred double coat dog (meaning having both a soft undercoat n a coarser topcoat), the Siberian Husky is unsuitable for our climate. moved from one place to another, it has even less time to build up its immune system. resulted to be infected by the deadly dog disease - the Canine Distemper (狗瘟).
Canine distemper is a fatal infectious disease that mainly has respiratory (breathing n digestion) n neurological signs.
signs are such as fever, thickening of the footpads, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, coughing, labored breathing n loss of appetite. if serious, twitching of muscles n seizures might occurs.
there is No cure so far for such disease. totally dependable on the dog's immune system.
babysitting was tough. we were challenged to bring the very sick pup "back to life" for the past whole week. besides injections n medicines, as the doctor informed us, it solely depends on the dog itself to fight the sickness from within. the experiences, on the contrary, was nonexchangeable. as we continuously took care of it for days, although tedious, but watching it regaining strength was rewarding.
why not kitty???wuwuwuw.......T.T
ReplyDelete今天我原本要拍兔子舞的，哪知一拿起相机她就不跳了
没福分=p
Is this doggy in your house as well?
ReplyDeleteI got stumped at first when you say it's a husky dog, because I know they looks "fluffier" than that.
ReplyDeleteThen found out it's local. I guess animals does adept, even if it's doing poorly.
Sad sad..
"thickening of the footpads"
not soft at all... zetsuboushita!
joshua: 会的、会的，我的猫咪当然会再回来。;) 你的兔子害羞吧。:p
ReplyDeleteakira: of course not !! yuki has a high sense of territory defensiveness. no dogs, or cats are allowed. ;)
rollakid: it is not local actually. despite the size, it is still a pup. there should be a "fur changing" stage where it's fur will thicken (n probably darken) n grew into an actual adult husky. it is a siberian after all. not only thickening footpads, it cracks too. zetsuboushita!
Wow, he is definitely a prince of your house, or maybe king? Hahaha... This is Punk Territory... Haha..
ReplyDeleteI've never had any puppies as pet ever before, but I like it a lot to play around with the cute poodle with white soft fur *perhaps I gonna make my lovely poodle wear my Disney Belle Princess perfume?* lol.. ^ ^
ReplyDeleteBTW, Princess? this doggy doesn't look sick for sure, but he was brought to the vet for check up rite? Just guessing heh ehh...
I take it that yuki has a boy friend now? :D
ReplyDeletehi..dropping by. u've a nice blog.
ReplyDeleteand that dog is so cute! ^^
Those thick fur~~ must be sooo hot underneath!
ReplyDeletethe doggy looks so aggressive
ReplyDeleteakira: haha. can't blame him for fearing his territory being taken over. he's probably a little more sensitive than the other cats. ;)
ReplyDeletebarbie: it was brought to the vet after continuous diarrhea symptoms. it was quite shocking to realize the sickness was that serious. so princess loves small sized dogs. :) i on the other hand, prefer dogs to be big. just so i can pounce them (or most probably be pounced in return XD).
deimos: no. (copied from my reply to akira's comment) yuki has a high sense of territory defensiveness. no dogs, or cats are allowed. :)
ivyl: thanks !! glad you enjoyed your stay here. :)
宝茹: yes, it is a siberian husky after all, suppose to be suitable for cold weather. :)
aaron: but it isn't. it was just the impression. :)
Haha, no problem, maybe you can do a signboard for him, saying that "Punk Territory!!!" XD
ReplyDeleteakira: but i don't think the .. cats n dogs can read the signboard. :p
ReplyDeleteHaha, just for fun only... How do the cats and dogs communicate to each others, I wonder...
ReplyDeleteakira: they should only have warning or friendly signals i suppose. animals aren't as complicated as human. :D
ReplyDeleteo_o, who's dog is this? i found Siberian Husky is interesting, especially the looks of its eyes part. Looks fierce >8) but actually not, the color make them looks fierce..hahah:D
ReplyDeletepui: it's a friend's dog. there you're talking, i believe you like dogs, since you know better than some other who jumps to the conclusion that certain dogs are fierce, all because of how they look.
ReplyDeleteHaha, or the way they shouted at each other? Haha, somesort like whispering?
ReplyDeleteakira: barking n meowing each other as warning. XD i can only understand yuki's meowing expression, kinda different even with other cats.
ReplyDeletedogs r humans best friend.;) but i did got scared by their looks at 1st somehow. i saw this kind of dog that day too when i was ready to out to office. white+alice blue fluffy passed by like flash. cuz chased by neighbor's dogs. then it stayed inside one neighbor's house with gate open having renovation kinda. dunno whr the hell is this fellow came fr but it's pretty. dunno what happen then...off to office.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yesterday night my friend brought out her toy poodle and showed to us... It is so cute!!! Chubby neh!
ReplyDeletepui: intimidated i guess ?? i prefer dogs to be huge in size if compared to smaller size dogs. for smaller size animals, i might as well rely on cats.
ReplyDeleteakira: poodle needs to be trimmed its fur quite often right ?? like tshizu. if bigger i can place my weight on it, that's why i prefer larger size dogs. XD
Haha, yeah! It is so chubby after all! And very "manja" also! Hehe...
ReplyDeleteakira: small sized dogs feel like cats in some form. ;)
ReplyDeleteLevian:
ReplyDeleteYup, but this kind of small dogs need to be take care very carefully...
akira: but isn't all pets need to be taken care of very carefully, especially during the beginning phase ??
ReplyDeleteYup, but as I observed, dogs' livings are better than cats, haha..
ReplyDeleteakira: living ?? what are you referring to ??
ReplyDeleteHmm, the living with the owners...
ReplyDeleteakira: the environment, you mean ??
