What Does a Doe in Heat Look Like?
A doe's heat is mostly induced by stimulus. Breed, age, health, climate, and environment all shape it — summer heat cuts appetite and heat rate, winter cold and scarce greens do too. In heat she turns excited and active: stomps, paws the floor, eats less or refuses food, mounts other does, and seeks the buck; her vulva goes pale at rest, pink early, deep red at peak with swelling, then purple-red. The cycle is 8–15 days, each heat 3–5 days; place her with the buck at the start. Neuter if not breeding.

Common Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Pet Colds
Pets catch colds easily — usually from chills (season changes, baths, drafts, rain, cold floors) or low resistance. A plain cold can worsen into something serious, so treat it early. Never give human cold medicine (acetaminophen is toxic to dogs and cats); use pet-specific drugs. Learn the warning signs that separate a cold from pneumonia, rhinitis, feline herpesvirus (cat flu) or distemper.
