How long until a spayed female cat can leave the hospital?

Can Chinchillas Be Washed with Water? Why Not?
Chinchillas must never be washed with water — their dense fur traps moisture and they are prone to chilling, stress, and even fatal illness. In the wild they clean themselves by rolling in volcanic ash or sand, so a chinchilla-specific dust bath is the safe, healthy way to keep them clean.

1.5-year-old Golden Retriever hit by a car; the car is wrecked but the dog is fine and lively – could there be internal injury?
Dog blindness has many causes; if eye exams rule out eye disease and retinal nerve issues, brain tumor or pressure, even clotting disorders causing intraocular bleeding and blindness are possible. Thorough eye and body exams find the cause early.

Can a Doberman puppy be fed only dog food?
Whether a Doberman puppy can be fed only dog food depends on its age. Under 45-60 days, do not feed kibble; without mother's milk, prepare pet goat milk formula and feed every 2-3 hours. Over 45 days, puppy food alone is fine, preferably softened.
1.5-month-old puppy breathes with a pulsing neck, vomits after eating, and now has trouble walking and keeps falling – what illness is this?
A pulsing neck when a dog breathes usually means a gagging sound during breathing, or a slight bulge of the esophagus or trachea while breathing. Based on your description - vomiting every time it eats and an unsteady gait - the first concern is a foreign object blocking the esophagus, or pneumonia from eating too fast and inhaling food into the airways. Esophageal dilation or an esophageal diverticulum cannot be ruled out either.
Dog had dystocia overnight, all pups died, uterine rupture and abdominal infection, already operated – can she recover?
Recovery from uterine rupture with abdominal infection depends on the dog's condition and post-op complications. If caught early with abdominal lavage and ovariohysterectomy before sepsis, the chance is high with hospital care and patient nursing. Use antibiotics (cephalosporins IV 25-35 mg/kg) and nutrition.
