Maltese Eye Stain – Easy Home Remedy For Canine Tear Stains by ?
If you have been struggling to find out how to get rid of your pet’s eye stain or tear stain discharge I can totally relate to what you are going through.
We have several Maltese dogs in our family and a few of them unfortunately had severe Maltese eye stain problems.
At first we did not know what to do. The stains ran down their faces from the inside corner of their eyes down each side of their nose and it was unsightly and gross looking compared to the rest of their luxurious white coat.
Maltese Terrier puppies are prone to being independent, headstrong, aggressive, difficult to train, and damaging to your belongings…
If left untrained, alone and unchecked, your relationship with your Maltese Terrier will be hardly enjoyable…
…Instead, lay some ground rules and follow through…Your relationship will then be delightful with your little white pooch!

Maltese Training: How To Stop Your Maltese From Chewing
By Alvin Toh
Chewing is a common problem in all dogs. Your Maltese is chewing because he may be bored, lonely or stressed. If you have a Maltese puppy that chews, he could be teething.
Here are some training tips on how to stop your Maltese from chewing.
Have you ever heard of White Dog Shaker Syndrome? I didn’t until today either…
It’s official scientific name is idiopathic cerebellitis.
I “Stumbled Upon” a site that talked vaguely about this phenomenon with small white dogs, which includes the Maltese Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, small white Poodles, and Bichon Frises. Less often, this syndrome affects Yorkshire Terriers and Beagles.
It is a disorder developing in small white dogs around the age of 1 or 2 years old. It causes a diffuse intention tremor throughout the dog’s entire body.
The actual cause is unknown, but it does seem to be onset by stress. An intention tremor means that it happens when the dog starts to “do” something, such as walk, eat, stress…these could all possibly cause the tremor to occur. Once the dog starts to relax or rest, the tremor will decrease and then stop. It can be anywhere between mild to severe.
It is speculated that it could be caused by an overall generalized neurotransmitter deficiency. It does not affect your dog’s personality and is not known to be painful. However, depending upon how severe the tremors are, you may opt to have your dog checked out by a veterinarian, and they will decide whether to treat them with medication.
Some dogs may be on treatment for their entire life, which could consist of corticosteroids or diazepam.
It is not known whether or not this syndrome is inherited in dog breeds.
