I am so much in the dumps. A few days ago I had surgery in my mouth. Right now I’m wearing that ridiculous Elizabethan collar, although it isn’t my first time and I’m kind of getting used to it.
Maltese are notorious for being late bloomers. Their baby teeth often come in far later than other breeds and take much longer to fall out – if they fall out at all. These toy dogs also suffer from crowding plus tartar and plaque buildup. They are known for gingivitis, periodontal disease and early tooth loss.
Here’s a link to an article about the ten dogs prone to dental disease.

Aw…poor little Bau. Feel better! ❤
Thanks, Jill ❤
Oh, poor Bau! I am sorry to hear you have The Collar on! Your mouth will feel better soon, though. And I know that collar will come off Just as soon as possible. Hang in there!
Thanks, Margot for being here! ❤
So sorry to hear that Bau is having to go through this. He’s so lucky he has you looking after him.
He is lucky. I keep telling him that! 🙂 Our pets are lucky to have us care for them and we’re lucky to have them as companions. 🙂
Works both ways!
You make it look so sylish
Indeed! 🙂 ❤
Oh noes! Teh Cone of teh Shames!!! :D… poor bunny, I hope all will be well soon.
Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Poor Bau. Dot doesn´t like the collar either. Get better quick! Sending puppy snuggles. xo
Thanks, Darlene ❤
Aaah, poor Bau. That little guy is so loved and when he hurts we all hurt. (It seemed cruel to “like” this post though.) I guess he’ll be eating low-fat gruel for a while, huh? Good thing he’s not a husky or it’d give new meaning to “Mush, mush.” ❤ a little canine humor . . . to cheer him up. 🙂 Blessings to you both for a quick recovery.
Thank you, Ellie. He’s eating soft food (which he tends to love more than his regular kibble). He’s picking up more energy and I take the cone off his neck as long as I supervise him so that he doesn’t start pulling at the stiches in his mouth.
Have a great weekend. ❤
Vets have to make a living , right ??
I guess.
But you do look darling, pup! This too shall pass.
Thank you, Jacqui for your positive and so very accurate words. 🙂
Poor little Bau…sending belly rubs!
Oh, thank you…Belly rubs are the best! ❤
Poor Bau, teething and having to wear the Elizabethan collar, lol sounds funny, but I know it’s not. ❤
Oh, he’s so much not a complainer. I’ve stared to remove it gradually, especially when he eats! Thanks for stopping by, Debby. ❤
Always a treat Carol ❤
Bau looks so resigned !!!

Gosh, poor little Bau! I hope he heals quickly and loses that dreaded cone for good. xx
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Jennifer. I too hope he loses the cone for good. Enjoy your day. ❤
Dear Carol
I feel bad for you and your mouth. I can identify with young having to wear that collar. I injured my spine and have to wear a brace that holds me like an iron lung. Poor us. But we will
Be ok. Thanks for the post.
❤ 🙂
Maltese salute!
Thank you, my friend. 🙂 ❤
