Can cats eat egg white?
Cats can eat egg white, but it is generally not advised, especially raw, due to high cholesterol causing indigestion or diarrhea. Feed only small amounts. Most cats prefer yolk, given two to three times weekly. If feeding white, a quarter at a time is enough.
How to fix bad breath in cats?
Bad breath in cats can be addressed through dental cleaning, dental-care products, and specific medications. Causes include tartar buildup, gingivitis, stomatitis, dental trauma, indigestion, and malnutrition. Treatment depends on the cause; tartar-related cases need cleaning, while gastrointestinal disease needs digestive medication.
My dog has a bloated belly, is lethargic, and has red eyes after a heatwave—what could it be?
A bloated belly can come from pregnancy, indigestion with gas, or ascites. Pregnancy shows swollen vulva and enlarged nipples; indigestion makes a hard abdomen, helped by probiotics, digestive aids, and belly massage. Given the prolonged poor appetite, weakness, and lethargy you describe, ascites is more likely—a soft belly with a water-slapping sound—and needs veterinary diagnosis for cardiac, hepatic, or low-protein causes.
How often should a cat be given probiotics?
If a cat has poor appetite, indigestion, soft stools or mild diarrhea, give probiotics twice a day (morning and evening). If its gut is fine, none is needed. Follow the label for dose and frequency - too much disrupts the gut flora. Mix into food or warm water, but keep the water not too hot or the beneficial bacteria die.
Why is my dog alert but has no appetite?
A dog that is energetic but refuses food may have eaten something hard to digest, or may simply be picky. Give pet probiotics to aid digestion; once food is processed, appetite returns. Cut back on snacks to avoid picky habits. Heat cycles also reduce appetite. If it lasts long, see a vet.
How many times a day should I feed a Bichon?
Adult Bichons need two meals a day (three if digestion is slow). Puppies depend on age: ~2 months need 4–5 meals; after 3 months, 3–4; reduce a meal when they start leaving food. Add egg yolk, chicken, or beef occasionally, but not too often to avoid pickiness.
What should I do if my dog foams at the mouth, refuses food, and is listless?
Take a dog that foams at the mouth, refuses food, and is listless to a vet promptly to check for parvovirus, distemper, or coronavirus. If not viral, it may be gastritis, pancreatitis, indigestion, or parasites, so treat the cause. Refusing food risks dehydration, so get IV fluids; later, probiotics can aid recovery.
Why won’t my cat eat?
Common causes are indigestion and pickiness. Check for bloating or constipation; if so, give pet probiotics and belly massages. If not, tempt it with a favorite treat — if it eats, it's likely being picky. If it also drools, vomits, has diarrhea or low spirits, see a vet to find the cause and treat it specifically.
What makes koi grow fast and fat?
Koi grow fast and fat on protein- and fat-rich foods like brine shrimp, cicada pupae, mealworms, and red worms - but don't overfeed or water quality suffers. Also feed koi pellets plus fruit, vegetables, greens, rice, bread, and vitamins.
My dog won’t eat, has a swollen belly, is weak and listless, sleeps all day, and has slightly red eyes – what’s wrong?
A swollen belly can come from pregnancy, gas/indigestion, or ascites. Given days of poor appetite, weakness, and lethargy, ascites is more likely - the belly feels soft with a water-slosh sound. Causes include cardiac, hepatic, or low-protein issues; see a vet.
