What happens if a rabbit is not spayed or neutered?
An unneutered rabbit is often in heat: males frequently spray urine and are more aggressive, females carry grass and pull fur. Unspayed rabbits are restless and heat hurts appetite, so they do not gain weight easily. Spaying females prevents uterine and mammary tumors and extends life. Without it, old age may bring reproductive diseases that shorten life.
How long does a dog’s phantom pregnancy last?

How does a Teddy (Poodle) behave when it is hot?
When hot, a Teddy usually sleeps in a cool, shady spot and may lose appetite and become listless. In very hot weather it pants with its mouth open and tongue out, since dogs have few sweat glands and dense fur and mainly dissipate heat by breathing. Panting accelerates water loss, so without water it can become mildly dehydrated or suffer heatstroke.
