Can Turtles Get Constipated? Why and How to Fix It
Turtles do get constipated, usually from low fiber, swallowed objects, too little exercise, or a poor environment. Fixes range from edible oil or mild laxatives and enemas to probiotics, with vet care for severe cases that become obstruction. This article explains the causes and treatments.
My cat’s hind legs are paralyzed as if broken; is there any hope, can it heal on its own, and if treatable how much would it cost?
Hind-leg paralysis often comes from spinal injury, nerve damage, neuritis, stroke, or poor circulation; treatments and costs differ, and some injuries are incurable. Spinal injury from a fall may be treated with medication or physical therapy (about 1000-5000 yuan). Always get a vet exam to find the cause.
My 45kg Alaskan Malamute, almost 3, recently in heat and got demodicosis; ears are dirty and itchy after cleaning. A chewable worked then relapsed and worsened; eyes/mouth/feet have purulent crusts. Heard doramectin helps but unsure if safe for long-haired dogs and timing with the chewable.
Confirmed demodicosis is treated orally, by injection, or medicated baths. After relapse, a second deworming plus ivermectin injection is an option; dose by vet to avoid toxicity. Alaskans are NOT collie-type, so ivermectin is safe. Medicated baths and vitamins help; clean the environment.
Can You Bathe a One-Month-Old Puppy?
A one-month-old puppy has weak immunity and should not be bathed—use a warm wipe or dry shampoo instead. Bathe only after vaccines and deworming plus 3–5 days, or after 3 months if unvaccinated, and never use human shampoo. This article covers puppy bathing.
My dog just turned two months old; because of a tick bite it was shaved and given a medicated bath, then slept with the AC on. For three days it barely ate, only goat milk, but energy and stools were normal. On day five it ate, but in the afternoon spiked to 40.7C, and shots and medicine did not bring the fever down; it stayed 39.5-40. The dog is unvaccinated, no distemper, weight 0.95kg.
Persistent high fever needs prompt vet care; it may signal bacterial pneumonia, gut infection, blood parasites, distemper, or parvovirus. Non-viral cases are easier to treat. Fever is usually lowered by injection plus physical cooling while the vet finds the cause.
5 Ways Your Cat Shows It Is Protecting You
Cats are not all aloof; many quietly guard their owners. They follow you to the bathroom, sleep by your side, watch you, rub their scent on you, and patrol at night, all out of love and a wish to keep you safe.
Can a Budgerigar Recover from Trichomoniasis on Its Own?
A budgerigar cannot self-heal from trichomoniasis; chicks under 3 months can die within days without treatment. Signs are lethargy, yellow mouth spots, green mucus, and vomiting. Treat with metronidazole plus vitamin C or a bird dewormer for 5–7 days, and separate chicks from the mother. This article covers it.
When Can a Golden Retriever Eat Adult Dog Food?
A Golden Retriever is adult at 12 months, so switch to adult food then. Puppy food is richer for growth; adult food is higher in fiber. Feed by age: milk or formula under 2 months, softened kibble to 3 months, dry puppy food to 1 year, adult food to 8 years, then senior. Transition over 7 days. This article details it.
How Can I Make a Dog-Walking Leash?
Steps: prepare a strong, durable rope, length by dog size (usually 1.5-2m), plus metal buckles and knots. Determine length - enough space but not too long to lose control. Thread through buckles and knots, check sturdiness and comfort so the dog isn't hurt or uncomfortable.
How Can I Get My Samoyed’s Ears to Stand Up?
Samoyed is an erect-eared breed; if not up, maybe too young, poor nutrition, or mixed breed. Usually erect at 3-4 months, some at 5-6. If too young, wait. If of age, add protein and calcium, massage ears to stimulate circulation. If still down, try taping.
