Can Golden Retrievers eat rice?
Goldens can eat rice, but it shouldn't be the staple - it's mostly carbs and causes malnutrition and poor growth if fed long-term. Avoid it under 6 months (soft texture harms teeth, risks double rows of teeth). If you do feed rice, add meat and veggies.
How long can an old Teddy live after losing its teeth?
After an old Teddy loses its teeth it can usually live another 2-3 years, or even 5-6 with good care. Teddies live 10-15 years on average, and teeth loosen and fall out from about age 10. Switch to soft, easily digestible senior dog food (soaked in warm water), and watch oral hygiene to avoid wet-food bacteria causing stomatitis.
How long can a cat with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) live?
Without prompt treatment, a cat lives about 2 to 3 months after onset; dry FIP without fluid may last 3 to 6 months. FIP is nearly 100% fatal untreated; GS-441 treatment can cut death risk to about 50%, but it's scarce and costly.
Can clownfish be kept in freshwater?
No. Clownfish are saltwater fish, very sensitive to salinity; freshwater harms them and can be fatal. Prep seawater with aquarium salt per ratio, or collect seawater if handy. They like ~25°C, need light and stable water; a few acclimated individuals might tolerate freshwater.
Can hermit crabs be kept in freshwater?
No. Hermit crabs are saltwater crabs; freshwater's low osmotic pressure hurts them. Mix seawater salt to proper salinity, lay 5–7 mm coral sand, change 1/3 of the water weekly in summer, and feed minced fish or shrimp once a day, clearing leftovers to protect water quality.
Can a cat survive FIP on its own?
A cat generally cannot overcome FIP by itself. Feline infectious peritonitis has a fatality rate above 90% and almost no chance of self-recovery; untreated cats usually die, and no spontaneous-recovery cases are documented. Dry FIP lasts 3 to 16 weeks, wet FIP 3 to 9 weeks. The specific drugs GS-376 and GS-441524 help, with 441 being more effective if given promptly.
Can Dogs Eat Raw Eggs? Stop Following the Trend Blindly
Raw eggs are best avoided: shells and yolks can carry Salmonella, Toxoplasma, and roundworms (diarrhea, appetite loss, weight loss; toxoplasma can deform or abort puppies), and raw egg white contains avidin that binds biotin and hurts skin, coat, and nerves. If you must, use sushi-grade eggs and start with a quarter. Also keep chocolate, grapes, onion, alcohol, xylitol, caffeine, salty/sugary food, dairy, and bones off the menu.
Why can I squeeze fluid from my dog’s nipples?
Fluid from a dog's nipples is common late in pregnancy — after about day 50, hormones make the mammary glands secrete a little milk, and a small amount of whitish fluid can be expressed before labor; this is normal. If the abdomen looks large, prepare for whelping. If the dog isn't pregnant, it may be a false pregnancy; get a vet ultrasound to confirm, and consider spaying a female with frequent false pregnancies.
How many kittens can one cat have?
A cat has 1 to 8 kittens per litter, averaging 3 to 6. With 2 litters a year that's about 10; over a breeding life from age 1 to 6 she can have at least 30. Don't breed too often — it strains the mother and risks the kittens.
How long after a bath can a cat be dewormed?
You can deworm a cat about 3 days after a bath, or wait 5 to 7 days if you are worried about the treatment's effectiveness. Bathing washes away the skin oil layer that topical drops rely on, so avoid bathing 3 days before or after deworming. After treatment, fit an Elizabethan collar so the cat cannot lick the medication.
