Can You Spay a Female Cat in Heat?
No—you should not spay a female cat while she is in heat. The engorged, soft reproductive organs and dilated blood vessels make surgery riskier and raise the chance of heavy bleeding, and recovery is slower. Spay her after the heat ends (ideally in cooler months), and know the benefits plus how to handle a post-op wound.

What to Do When a Parrot Has Crop Stasis, and Can It Digest on Its Own?
Parrots digest slowly and crop stasis is common; it generally will not resolve on its own—especially in chicks, whose digestion is weaker. Left untreated it causes vomiting and death. Treatment means withholding food and water, giving yeast tablets or dissolved digestive enzymes, keeping the bird warm, and, for severe cases, suctioning the crop with a tube—plus vet care if it does not improve.
Can You Deworm a Cat That Has Soft Stools?
It is generally not advisable to deworm a cat with soft stools, because the medication can further irritate the intestines and worsen the problem. Address the soft stools first—with dietary fiber and probiotics—and only deworm once the stool has returned to normal for about a week. If parasites are the suspected cause, confirm with a fecal test before treating.
How Long Can a Parrot Survive Crop Stasis, and How Is It Treated?
Crop stasis (also called crop impaction) in parrots is often caused by a blockage below the crop or by slow digestion, and if left untreated a parrot—especially a chick—usually survives no more than about three days. Prompt care includes withholding food and water, giving probiotics, and, for severe cases, clearing the crop with a syringe and tube or seeking veterinary treatment.
Can a Puppy With a Runny Nose Get Vaccinated?
Dogs showing any sign of illness—such as a runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, or diarrhea—should not be vaccinated, because live-attenuated vaccines can worsen an existing condition. Puppies need to be at least 45 days old for their first shot and about 3 months old for the rabies vaccine, with deworming spaced roughly a week apart. After vaccination, observe the dog for 30 minutes, avoid baths for 7 days, and confirm immunity with an antibody test around 15 days later.
Canadian Hairless
The Canadian Hairless, also called the Sphynx, is an extremely rare hairless genetic variant that appeared during the breeding of American or European domestic cats. Although it shares the skin pigment of domestic cats, its skin bears only a few hairs. With a wedge-shaped body, large ears, and a bulky frame, its head looks like Yoda's. The whole look makes it seem not cute but rather frightening compared with domestic cats.
