How do I reduce a dog’s fever?
Normal temp is 38-39°C; a low fever under 39.5°C can be cooled physically (alcohol/water on paws, ears, groin, armpits every 5 min) and by drinking warm water. Above 39.5°C needs a vet shot.
What water conditions suit a silver arowana?

What causes a guppy’s tail to shrink (tail clamping)?
Tail clamping in guppies is often caused by large water-temperature swings; keep the temperature steady between 18-34 C. Changes in water quality can also trigger it, so keep pH at 6.5-7.5 and the water clean.
How to Tell If Your Guinea Pig Is Pregnant
A pregnant sow gains weight fast, eats more, and her belly swells. Confirm by feeling for firm lumps (25+ days) or watching for a mating plug — though nocturnal chewing can hide it. Gestation is 68–75 days, so count ahead to the due date.
