Are native Chinese dogs easy to keep?
Native Chinese dogs are fairly easy to keep: they have strong immunity and rarely get sick or become picky, so feeding is flexible. They adapt well and, though their coats are short, tolerate cold without catching chills. But like any dog, if you skip discipline and training and spoil them too much, they develop bad habits and become harder to manage.
What should I do if my dog’s ear itches and it keeps scratching?
An itchy ear that a dog won't stop scratching may be ear mites, otitis, surrounding skin disease or parasite bites. First put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent hematoma, hair loss and skin damage from scratching. Check the ear: black/brown/reddish discharge usually means ear mites - treat with mite medication. Redness with yellow or clear fluid suggests otitis - use antibacterial ear drops and anti-inflammatories, or see a vet if severe. Hair loss, broken skin or dandruff around the ear points to parasites or skin disease - get a skin scraping to identify the type before medication.
