Welcome to Josymir Maltese's News Alerts
Providing valuable information to help you with your Maltese Puppies
We have started a News alert section on our site to provide valuable information to pet owners
to help you keep your pets safe andto help you raise and care for your Maltese companions.
As responsible and caring Maltese Breeders, we like to alert pet owners to some of the common problems and dangers
that we run into while raising and caring for our Maltese puppies.
This section will be updated periodically so please check back for updates.
This will be wonderful information for people to keep as reference and use when they need to.
We also put out a Newsletter quarterly with more information. If you would like to sign up
Food Recalls
It seems more and more foods are being recalled lately. The most Recent Food recalls can be found at the AVMA Site.
Poisonous Mushrooms
It has been raining like crazy lately which means mushrooms are springing up everywhere. Some of these cuties can be poisonous and deadly if ingested by a dog. Most dogs will leave them alone but once in a while one, specially the young and the curious, decides to try one.
If your Maltese puppy eats one of them please contact your vet immediately to inform them of what happened and what kind they ate. Most likely the vet will tell you to give them something to induce vomiting, but I will leave it to them to tell you what to use and how much.
Here are 2 good sites that talk about Poisonous Mushrooms and what to do.
