How is RedDog hairball paste?
RedDog hairball paste helps pass hairballs and is free of hydrogenated oil, mineral oil and artificial attractants, so fairly safe. But its ingredient list is vague, and the milk powder may upset lactose-intolerant cats' stomachs.
How is Navarch dog food for a Bichon?
Navarch is an established Chinese brand with breed-specific lines. The six-meat freeze-dried line for Bichons is ~85% animal ingredients and grain-free, fairly low-allergy and good value. But some lines use mostly meat meal and grain and risk allergies, so check formulas.

Dog had fever and refused food, then after an antipyretic shot eats and is lively but still warmer than usual with very red eyes — what can I give?
After the shot the dog may not have fully defervesced or is relapsing. A vet visit to find the cause is best; treat any underlying disease. If you cannot go, try amoxicillin or a dog fever reducer plus cooling, and see a vet if fever returns.
My cat’s nose is bleeding and I don’t know what to do
The blurry photo shows blood above the nose but not the wound or infection. If uninfected, it is likely a scratch or fight wound; clean and disinfect with iodine, and it heals fast. Use a collar to stop licking. Infected cases need a vet.
What causes an open sore near my cat’s mouth?
With no photo, this may be mouth ulcer, stomatitis or bacterial/fungal infection. Clean with saline and apply pet antiseptic skin liquid; severe cases need oral antibiotics and an E-collar. See a vet if it does not improve.
Just this one patch, 4 months old, has been bathed
The photo shows a large black crust on the cat's skin, likely bacterial or fungal infection, possibly ringworm. A skin scraping at the vet will confirm the type. Untreated fungal infection can spread, so see a vet soon.
Why does a koi’s color fade?
Koi color depends on diet, health and environment. Dim water, temperature and light affect pigmentation, and poor nutrition or parasites and bacteria can also dull the color. Good care keeps color vivid.
What if a newborn puppy does not get enough to eat?

Soft stool with white string-like matter strongly suggests internal parasites. Have a vet do a fecal exam and use the prescribed dewormer. Keep the cage and dishes clean to limit spread.
