How can I make my British Shorthair’s face rounder?
British Shorthairs can develop cheek jowls, but only males. Females can only gain a bit of body fat to look rounder — but avoid obesity (heart, diabetes, joint risks). For males, feed high-protein foods (nutritional paste, chicken breast, beef, fish) before neutering, and give chew sticks to build jaw muscles.

A rice-grain-sized flesh mole grew on the head, shaped like a rice grain with a black dot at its base — what is the cause?
Hello, the mole-like growth on your dog's head is a tick. Ticks are common external parasites that feed on animal blood and can transmit diseases such as babesiosis, Lyme disease, and hemorrhagic fever to their host. Therefore, check the rest of the dog's body for more ticks, then apply alcohol to the bite area and surrounding skin; once the tick is paralyzed or suffocates, it will detach on its own. If it does not fall off, use tweezers to pull it straight out and burn it. After removal, disinfect the skin promptly and keep up with regular deworming.
