How do I breed a Whippet?
Before breeding Whippets, health-check both dogs and know their bloodlines to avoid inbreeding and defects. Breed at the right age: females first at 18 months-2 years, males at 1+ year. Best mating is days 10-14 of heat, in a quiet place, with post-breeding nutrition.
Is it good to feed my dog Purina Pro Plan dog food?
Pro Plan is Nestle Purina's premium pet food brand with a long history and reliable quality, offering formulas for size, age, and health. But many formulas contain grains like soy, corn, and wheat that don't suit grain-allergic dogs, and lower meat content means slower weight gain and larger stools.
Why is my dog’s nose dry, cracked, and warm?
A dry, hot, cracked nose can come from fever, heat, inflammation, or illnesses like distemper and parvovirus. Move the dog to a cooler spot if it's hot; if it persists or other signs like lethargy appear, see a vet.
My cat keeps urinating and defecating on the bed and has been eating less lately
Sudden bed soiling with reduced appetite may be a stomach problem or heat. Check the stool for abnormality and see a vet if needed. During heat, extra play and interaction can redirect the cat's attention.
Why won’t my Teddy eat anything?
A Teddy refusing food can relate to heat, pickiness, or health issues. Long-term feeding of the same food causes anorexia, and high hormones during heat lower appetite. Oral, stomach, or other health problems can also be the cause.
My cat has a bump on its lower body
From the photo, the cat's genital area is abnormal with scabbing. An exposed penis in cats is usually from heat or urinary disease. An unneutered male in heat may show the penis and lick it, but scabbing is not normal, so a vet visit is advised.
What does a Teddy (Poodle) fracture look like?
A Teddy fracture may show lameness, inability to stand, or unwillingness to walk; the dog licks the site often and dislikes being touched. Severe cases bring swelling, heat, limb deformity, and a faint bone-grinding sound when moved. Open fractures (bone through skin) bleed and need immediate care to avoid blood loss or infection.
How is an ovary removal (spay) done on a female dog?
Spaying must be done by a vet under proper conditions: pre-check health (no heat, pregnancy, low sugar, heart issues), choose anesthesia by weight and age, then incise the hairless belly, locate ovaries and uterus, clamp and tie vessels, remove ovaries, disinfect, and suture. Post-op painkillers and antibiotics.
My dog barely eats this week, refuses all kibble, only eats sausage and fish, and its eyes are red, swollen, and won’t open
Refusing kibble for sausage/fish is likely picky eating; swollen eyes may be 'internal heat'. Sausage is high-salt/starch, burdens digestion and causes heat. Adjust diet: try different kibble, stop high-calorie/salt food, keep light and varied. If picky persists, let it fast a while but don't exceed 3 days without food.
How can I tell if my spayed female cat’s wound is healing well?
Normally, if the spayed female cat's wound shows no redness, heat, scar overgrowth, or purulent discharge, and the scab gradually falls off, that is a sign of good recovery. After the spay surgery, put an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the surgical wound. At the same time, keep the environment dry and clean and prevent the wound from getting wet. As the cat's wound heals, the itching will gradually ease and the cat will stop trying to lick or chew the wound.
