Reduce Tear Stains in Yorkshire Terriers

Posted in Animal News | No comments
Although it is natural for most Yorkshire terriers to have a bit of tearing from their eyes, if it is extreme, the result is not only unattractive but also uncomfortable for the dog. There are ways to minimize tear stains making the Yorkie look and feel better. When your Yorkshire terrier’s eyes tear too much, the resulting damp hair under its eyes becomes a prime breeding ground for yeast and bacterial growth.

There has been an interest in keeping birds for thousands of years. For example, I find it interesting that Ancient Phoenicians brought peafowl to the Pharaohs of Egypt and that King Solomon owned some as well. During the reign of Alexander the Great, it was a crime to kill a peafowl, yet during the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages, they were served as food. The first white peafowl mutation occurred in England in the 1700s.

Why Microchips Don’t Always Work

It appears one reason why microchips don’t always work is because shelters don’t always scan!
An article in The Flint Journal says that the Genesee County Animal Control failed to scan a golden retriever, which could have ended up in the incinerator if a good samaritan hadn’t intervened…
Gerhardt said his initial remarks were misunderstood but agreed Murphy was not checked for a microchip because he acted aggressively.“Nothing says you have to scan,” he said Monday, noting the state law only requires the shelter to attempt to identify animals through license tags.
On Wednesday, Gerhardt said the shelter actually scans most every incoming animal for microchips unless animals are especially difficult or aggressive.
I’m upset to hear that a shelter isn’t doing everything it can to return a dog back to its owner. County shelters, and the employees who work there, are paid for by taxpayers. They have a duty to the taxpayers.
This is still the fault of the owner, relying on an invisible fence to contain a large dog, and then apparently not having a license tag hanging on the dog’s collar.
Also, microchips are not a fail-safe measure.
