My rabbit’s ears are hot; I cooled them with water but they get hot again—why?
Based on your description, hot ears in a rabbit may indicate a fever. A pet rabbit's normal temperature is about 38–39.5°C. First measure with a thermometer; if accompanied by symptoms like nasal discharge or lethargy, the fever is likely from infection or contagious disease. If cooling doesn't help and fever recurs, see a vet.

Why won’t my lizard eat?
May be from not adapting to environment, unsuitable temperature, disinterest in food, or illness. New lizards need time to adjust. Low temp or big climate changes reduce appetite.

Based on your description, a puppy with fever, cough, and foamy dry-retching usually indicates a respiratory infection.

Seek veterinary screening promptly and do not give human Banlangen.
What are the symptoms of indigestion in koi?
Koi indigestion can cause a range of symptoms, including reduced appetite, decreased food intake, bloating, and abnormal feces. When a koi has indigestion, its appetite drops, shown by eating less or stopping feeding. At the same time, excretion becomes abnormal - such as reduced stool or stool that turns loose and soft. Koi indigestion may be caused by overeating or improper food, and may also be related to environmental changes, water-quality issues, or suboptimal keeping conditions. To prevent it, keepers should provide a suitable diet, control feeding amounts, and keep the water clean and stable. If a koi has indigestion, stop feeding it for a period and promote digestion by adding fresh water and raising the water temperature.
My cat sneezes repeatedly, its head and ears feel hotter than usual, but its spirits and appetite are normal. Is it a common cold, and can it heal on its own?
Frequent sneezing, fever, and normal spirits in a cat are generally symptoms of a respiratory infection. Normally, a common cat cold does not cause fever, and if immunity is low it may not heal by itself. If a cold causes a fever, it may be the body's immune response to fever-causing pathogens or viruses, or a secondary infection from delayed treatment. The owner should measure the cat's temperature; if it rises to 39.5 C, take the cat to the vet promptly to check for respiratory disease or contagious infections such as feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia, and provide treatment for the confirmed cause along with fever reduction.
When do sugar gliders go into heat?
Sugar gliders generally come into heat once per quarter - roughly every three months - but not every heat leads to mating, as this is related to environment and temperature, among other factors. It is best to breed sugar gliders only about once every six months; otherwise it can cause considerable harm to the female. A male in heat marks territory and attracts females by urinating. If the male's heat is not relieved, he may become very irritable, so owners must watch closely. A female in heat shows only a moist pouch, with no other abnormality.
