Philippine Forest Dog / Asong Gubat

Naturally bred by nature, they’ve been here in the Philippines for 36,000 years.

Unlike Asong Pinoys that we ubiquitously see in city streets and everywhere, Asong Gubat are only found in rural areas.

Their origin came from Bukidnon Province and they are mostly found in that locality.

Forest dogs have brindle haircoat (tiger-striped) and have bicolored iris (their eyes have 2 different colors), that’s why they are also called “Witch Dogs” & “Tiger Dogs”.

FYI, if a certain dog has a brindle haircoat, it doesn’t automatically mean that he/she is a Forest Dog.

Only experts can note these identifications. Research about their standard look has been going on for about 30 years now.

Asong Pinoy that are brindle are not Asong Gubat.

Asong Gubat are indigenous dogs that are naturally born hunters but are not wild dogs. They are considered “primitive dogs” instead. They use all their senses for survival.

Witch Dogs are headstrong, ruthless and independent. They are not used with people. They are not easily tamed because they are born and bred in the wild. It will take time to tame them just like what their tribal owners did.

They possessed very unique characteristics that can only be found in their lineage.
✅ They have very sharp claws that shed regularly. They are the only breed of dogs that shed its claws.
✅ When they see other breeds, they see them as a threat or prey.
✅ Compared to most domestic dogs, their ge****ls are less than half in diameter so they usually mate with their own kind.

With the Witch Dogs refusal to mate with other domestic dogs, they maintain the PUREST BLOODLINE.

The Philippine Forest Dogs are still in the process of recognition from the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) with the help of Philippine Canine Club Inc. (PCCI) which leads the campaign.

It’s still a long journey, they are currently in the DNA testing stage. The path to recognition requires a minimum of 15 years!

But for now, let us continue to support our very own Asong Gubat. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin♥️

Side Note:
Experts said that our Forest Dogs are better off remaining with their tribal owners or at least dog lovers living in rural, remote areas.

Coco will be flying out of the Philippines soon.

First step?
Secure his Pet Passport and have him microchipped.

How does microchipping your pet work?
✅ Microchips are tiny transponders enclosed in a glass cylinder, roughly the size of a grain of rice.
✅ Microchips are implanted just under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades.
✅ This is done with a very large needle but doesn’t require anesthesia.
✅ After the implant, your pets will be scanned.
✅ Once implanted and scanned, register your pets in the microchip registry database. Here in the Philippines, you can register at our partner and microchip provider, Petdentity Philippines Inc.

Benefits of microchipping pets
✅ Your pets will have their own permanent identification.
✅ It works better than traditional methods like collar tags because microchips are permanent and tamper-proof.
✅ Microchipping is the best way to ensure that they can be returned to the owner if they ever become lost or stolen.

How does a microchip help reunite a lost pet with their owner?
✅ If the lost pet is microchipped and got lost,the first thing to do is just to have your pet scanned. Once scanned, the microchip registry will show your pet’s information and they can quickly find the pet’s owner.

Above is Coco, scanned after we implanted his microchip. That’s his permanent identification number.

It is a quick and painless prodecure.
In less than 10 minutes, Coco is done!

Toby, the Dwarf Dog.

He’s a Welsh Corgi.
Corgi means cor/cur (dwarf) and ci/gi (dog) in Welsh language.

Did you know that there are two types of Welsh Corgi?

Types of Welsh Corgi

1) Cardigan Welsh Corgi
✅ They are rare and one of the oldest breed in the British Isles.

2) Pembroke Welsh Corgi
✅ The more popular breed.

Both came from Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire, two agricultural counties of South West Wales. Welsh Corgis are cattle herding dogs.

How to distinguish between a Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgi?

1) Size
✅ When it comes to their height and weight, Cardigans are slightly taller by half inch, more stocky and heavier while Pembrokes are slender.

2) Tail
✅ Pembrokes have short bobtail while the Cardis have a long, fox-like tail.

3) Coat Color
✅ Pembrokes are usually seen in red, sable & tricolor while the Cardis are black, red, sable, brindle, blue merle and may have brindle and tan points.

4) Temperament
✅ Cardigans are known to be quieter, reserved, homebodies while Pembrokes are more prone to barking and outgoing.

Seeing Toby, which type of Welsh Corgi do you think he belongs to?

Yes, you guessed it right!
He’s a Pembroke.
Toby belongs to the breed that Queen Elizabeth II had a special soft spot in her heart.♥️

Elaine

When our team first met her, she was full of skin lesions, crusts, excoriations and was about to get bald.

Appropriate skin treatment plan was discussed with her pawmom.

Thanks to her pawmom who is very compliant to Elaine’s prescribed meds and prescription food, noticeable changes of Elaine’s skin was observed after weeks of treatment.

At this moment, we already stopped her other medications and only maintained her prescription food. She still visits the clinic quarterly for skin recheck.

Without her skin condition, Elaine turned and bloomed into a pretty feline lass.

Shillo

He’s our regular clinic boarder. Every first or second week of the month, he stays with us usually 5-6 days for various reasons. It could be that his pawrents are out of town or not feeling well and they can’t take care of him. Or if Shillo’s not eating well at home and we need to observe and monitor his appetite and eating habits.

He’s now even recognized by our clients who see him when they visit the clinic and the neighbors at the building when one of the staff take him for a walk.

When they see him, we can always hear them say, “Uyy, dito ka na naman?”

Yes, he’s here again😁

And we are soo glad to have him everytime❤️

Orca’s Double Surgery: C-Section & Spay

Left:
Female reproductive tract which consist of the ovaries, uterine horns, body of the uterus.

Right:
4 puppies born via C-section.
1 pup lodged in the left side of the uterine horn, 2 pups in the right side and 1 pup in the body of the uterus near the cervix.

Oversized puppies, very narrow cervical canal. All stucked. Can’t be delivered normally.

This is an unwanted pregnancy. Pawmom decided CS for her pawbaby and have her Spayed after all the puppies came out.

So we did. Only 3 live puppies are shown in the photo. 1 puppy already ingested meconium since mommy dog was in active labor for 17 hours. 1 pup died because of it.

Now, this is going to be the last time Orca will give birth. Wonderful, healthy years ahead of her to look forward to.

Spay and neutered pets live and have the best kind of life.

Aramist’s Nasal Planum Dermatosis

This is a dog nose skin issue. Skin lesions often affect the nose itself, bridge of the muzzle or both.

There are several causes which include:
▶️ Pyoderma
▶️ Dermatophytosis
▶️ Solar Radiation and/or Sunburn
▶️ Autoimmune Disorders that could be either Lupus or Pemphigus

The nose and its parts may show inflammation, crusts with occasional oozing of serum, ulceration.

Treatment depends on the cause and will depend on the results of the diagnostic tests.

Skin cytology are usually done, scrapings, cultures and biopsies.

As for Aramist, he responded well to his medications after specifically identifying the cause.

BelChow, a Designer Dog.

This means that these puppies are a cross between 2 purebred dogs to make a new breed. These pups are Belgian X Chowchow.

Is a Chowchow Mix right for you?
🐶 The looks, personality, temperament and size depends on which parents the puppy takes after.
🐶 Chowchows are protective watchdogs. Combining them with another breed that is more laid back tends to mellow them down resulting to a friendlier dog.
🐶 Early socialization plays a vital role to ensure that your puppy will grow up into a friendly adult.

How to have long and tangle-free locks like Tasha’s?

It’s summer time. When almost all of the Shih Tzus donned their summer cut, Tasha still keeps her hair long. How did she do it?

1) Proper Nutrition
▶️ An integral aspect of maintaining your dog’s coat is right, correct and proper nutrition. The better your dog’s food, the better your dog’s coat. Dogs feed on low-quality commercial dog food or improperly balanced homemade diets may not get enough nutrients resulting to dull, rough, oily,scaly with lots of loose hair in the coat.

2) Brushing
▶️ Brushing is the most important part of grooming for long-haired breeds, Shih Tzus in particular. Daily brushing in a consistent manner will avoid build-up of mattings.

3) Use appropriate grooming tools
▶️ There are different types of dog brushes. You may need a comb with wide-spaced teeth and finer-spaced teeth for brushing both the outer and inner layer of their coat.

4) Removal of mattings at home
▶️ A matt-away comb will come in handy when you noticed small matts to be removed without the groomer’s help. Thick mattings are the number one cause why a Shih Tzu’s haircoat is shaved off and cannot be styled anymore when they are brought to the clinic for grooming.

5) Over-bathing is not necessary
▶️ A doggy smell is usually caused by their skin biome and build-up of a little bit of bacteria and oils. Choose the right shampoo that is formulated for dogs. Remember, not all dog shampoos are equal. A bath twice weekly for a dog with normal haircoat is max. Over-bathing can lead to dry and skin irritation.

6) Professional Grooming Frequency
▶️ The frequency to visit the groomer is to your own liking but once every two months is recommended.

There you have it. Tasha’s secret is not a secret anymore. Just follow these methods to be like her.

Adie’s Proptosis That Leads to Enucleation

He had a fight with an Aspin dog 3x bigger than him.

Proptosis is the displacement of the eyeball out of the eye socket. This is a very common scenario in Brachycephalic breeds like the Shihtzus due to their shallow orbits.

Common Causes:
▶️ Blunt trauma to the face or head
▶️ Bite wounds directly to the face (Adie’s case)
▶️ HBC (hit by car)
▶️ Tumors behind the eyeball that pushes the globe forward

Adie’s ocular muscles around the globe were already ruptured and severed. These ocular muscles are responsible for eye movement and keeps the globe in place. Since Adie’s was severely damaged, Enucleation (eye removal) was the best treatment of choice.

He’s such a brave little boy. Minutes after he woke up, he’s back to his angry and grumpy self.

Looking for another dog to fight again?
We hope not because he only have one eye left.

Otodectes cyanotis (Ear Mites) were found in a 3 month old Scottish Fold kitten, Sora.

Ear mites live on the ear canal and feed off ear wax and debris. They can multiply quickly
causing the cat to excessively itch and scratch their ears. These parasites can irritate the cat’s ears and skin and can lead to secondary bacterial and yeast infection.

Only one ear mite was captured in this reel but when we initially did microscopic exam of the sample from Sora’s ears, we found more than 10 mites crawling.

Sora is now under medication. She will be back for another otoscopy session and microscopic exam to check if her ear mites are already eradicated.

Yoda’s Esophageal Obstruction

Dogs love to chew and explore through their mouths. With supervision of what they’re chewing, it won’t cause any problem. But when chewing a bone, it’s a different story.

The bone (2nd photo) was swallowed by Yoda. Regurgitation, gagging, gulping, repeated attempts to vomit were observed.

It’s a total relief when this stucked bone in Yoda’s throat was finally removed.

Although the esophageal region is still quite inflammed, medications will heal it in
time.

No more gagging and vomiting.

Yoda can now eat and swallow with ease.

Archimedes

Cats with UTI urinate very frequently, they strain to urinate, pass only small amounts of urine with or without blood and may cry out in pain when urinating, usually outside their litter box.

Male cats are more prone to urinary diseases because their urethras are narrower and most likely to become blocked.

Middle-aged, overweight cats who have sedentary lifestyle with no access outdoors and who do not get enough physical activities are also susceptible.

Those cats with spinal cord issues, bladder infection, urinary crystals, urethral plug caused by accumulation of debris from urine, emotional and environmental stressors are other causes of urinary tract infection.

How to maintain your cat’s urinary health:

🐾 Water Intake
Increasing your cat’s water intake can make them stay hydrated and urinate more frequently. Less water intake and a concentrated urine may likely form crystals and urinary stones. High urine water content dilutes toxins, minerals and urinary irritants.
Since most cats are not fond of water, you can incorporate a water fountain which is battery-operated to entice them to drink. Cats are drawn to running water, so a water fountain makes them drink more.

🐾 Give them activity at home
Indoor cats that are bored, who have sedentary lifestyle will most likely develop stress-related urinary conditions. You can provide moving toys since cats are natural predators. A cat tree or elevated perch can provide them entertainment because cats love to watch household activities from above.

🐾Reduce environmental stress
Cats are sensitive to environmental changes. A new pet, a new roommate, change of catfood, a different litter brand can trigger stress for them. You have to keep their litter box clean because cats hate a soiled litter box. Avoid changing litter brands too. You can provide them their own space so that can get away and destress when they feel the need.

🐾 Your Cat’s Diet
This is a very important factor in developing urinary tract conditions. You have to choose the best and right cat food for them. Some diets can aggravate urine crystal formation which can lead to UTIs and urinary blockage.

For Archimedes, we modified his diet coupled with other medications. His urinary diet have restricted amounts of magnesium, phosphorus and calcium. It is also formutaled to make his urine slightly acidic to avoid and prevent more crystal formation.

Although quite grumpy, he’s now surely happy because he can now urinate easily without straining.

Sugar

She almost died from endometritis last July when she whelped puppies from unwanted pregnancy. She was confined for about a week.

Her pawmom wanted to get her spayed when she recovered but when we did full blood workup, we find out that she’s Ehrlichia positive, anemic and thrombocytopenic. It’s a big no no to spay a patient with a platelet count of 35. We had her on medications both for endometritis and Ehrlichiosis when she was discharged. We constantly monitored her CBC.

Then, she’s in heat again! Pawmom didn’t want her to get pregnant again so we risked her ovariohysterectomy procedure even if her Platelet Count is still 133. The normal range is 175-500.

Sugar finally got spayed today despite the odds. No more endometritis and no more unwanted pregnancy for sure. Just a long, happy and healthy life with her pawmom.

Fix. Desex. Sterilize. Alter. These words are synonyms of ovariohysterectomy or SPAY.

Spay is the surgical removal of ovaries, oviducts, uterine horns and uterus of a female dog or cat.

Neuter is when the te**es are removed from a male dog or cat.

What is the age requirement?
▶️ Your pets should be at least 6 months old. There is no age limit if the CBC, liver and kidney profile are within the normal range.

Is there pre-surgical tests?
▶️ Blood Tests for complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests are required for adult dogs and cats. For younger pets, blood testing is optional but still highly recommended.
▶️ Fasting. It is best that they don’t have access to food and water 12 hours prior to surgery.

What are the benefits of spay?
▶️ No more heat cycles
▶️ No unwanted pregnancies
▶️ Reduces number of unwanted puppies or kittens
▶️ Improve behavioral problems like a strong desire to roam
▶️ Fixed females have a very low risk of mammary gland tumors, uterine and ovarian cancer and pyometra.

How much do you love your pet?
▶️ Studies have shown that a sterilized dog or cat will increase her chance of a longer and healthier life.
▶️ Spay and neuter is one way of being a responsible pet owner.

Did you know that you can estimate the age of your dogs by examination of their teeth?

Dentition.

It is the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth.

Milk teeth/baby teeth/deciduous teeth begin to erupt when your pup is 3-5weeks old.

Puppies begin teething at 3 weeks and by 6 weeks of age, all of their baby teeth already erupted. As baby teeth starts to fall out, a set of permanent teeth begins to appear around 4-5 months. All permanent teeth are present by the time the dog reaches 7 months.

Most dogs have 28 deciduous teeth and 42 permanent teeth.

Chewing, licking and mouthing are normal behaviours for puppies. This is called oral fixation stage. This is part of a puppy’s development as the puppy investigates and explores his environment with his mouth. If chewing is aggresive and/or excessive, that is another story that needs veterinary behavior modification advice. Excessive chewing subsides around 16-18 months of age.

As for the photos below, these are from Porkchop’s, Piglet’s and Snowball’s dentition.

They are bound to the US. Aside from their microchip, vaccination records, veterinary health certificates and travel documents, the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control) required photographs both front and side view of their teeth to ensure that they will travel at more than 3 months old. Hence, we did this photo op.

A black cat is a classic Halloween symbol.

Maneki, a male puspin adopted feline with his panther-like piercing stare.

They are associated with bad luck, considered as a witch side kick and even believed that witches can turn into cats. Salem is the most popular black cat in the TV Show Sabrina The Teenage Witch.

In animal shelters, black cats are quite difficult to adopt due to negative associations.

But there are also cultures that believed black cats are considered good luck. Whatever holds true for you, a black cat is a very loving feline that is no different than a cat with different color.

Maneki and the rest of the black cat family wants to greet you all, Happy Halloween!

When your furbaby is eating and drinking, you didn’t give it much notice. But when he’s parvo positive and on iv fluids? Seeing him eating and drinking again minus the vomiting and bloody stools can make you on high. Here’s Bitbit.

Why do you need to feed your large breed puppies with dogfood specific for their breed? Large breed puppies have long growth period. They need balanced intake of energy and minerals particularly calcium and phosphorus. These two, (calcium and phosphorus) contribute to good bone mineralisation. It’s a big NO NO for large breed puppies to take excessive oral supplementation of calcium which some pawrents tend to do. Why can’t you give calcium supplementation in dogs? Because excessive calcium promotes rapid bone growth and increases the risk of joint disease or Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy. Elevated calcium levels also triggers normal changes that decreases remodeling activity of growing bones and compromises blood supply in bone that promotes panosteitis. It is better to give them quality dogfood intended and formulated for their specific breed, like Jaja does. Jaja can’t wait to open and eat her new ration. Can you do it at home, please?
