Caring in Malaysia
- The long, dense silver coat traps heat, so keep her indoors in a cool, well-ventilated or air-conditioned room and watch for panting or heat stress.
- Brush the long hair daily to prevent mats, and gently wipe tear stains around the eyes each day to keep the face clean.
- PKD can affect the kidneys — ask the vet for screening; also watch for noisy breathing or open-mouth panting, which needs prompt veterinary attention.
For health concerns, consult a licensed veterinarian in Malaysia.
