How do I raise a newborn turtle?
A newborn turtle should not go in water right away; leave it in the sand a few days with hatching temperature and humidity. After three or four days its belly closes and it can enter water.
How do you keep tropical fish?
Control water temperature and quality; most tropical fish like 24-29C with stable temperature year-round. Change about one third of the bottom water regularly to prevent deterioration.
How often does a female rabbit come into estrus?
A female rabbit's cycle is 8-15 days, each estrus lasting 3-30 days, with changes in organs and behavior. Good light and temperature raise the rate.
How long pregnant before a guppy should be separated?
Separate a pregnant guppy at about 20 days to avoid contact that causes difficult labor, ideally in a well-oxygenated breeding tank with separate feeding. The pregnancy is about 23 days.
How long before a dog dies from air conditioning?
Long AC use harms a dog, causing respiratory disease, chills and dehydration, so limit each session to under 2 hours. Keep the temperature around 26C and never aim the vent directly at the dog.
How do I keep a centipede?
Use a suitably sized transparent clean box with a little soil and dead leaves in a ventilated place. Feed centipede-specific feed, occasionally adding yeast tablets to avoid indigestion.
How often should a guppy tank have its water changed?
Change water every 3-7 days; good quality allows a longer cycle, but change only about one third each time. Too-frequent or large changes stress the fish and can kill them.
My dog seems to have a fever and I don’t know what to do, or how to tell if a dog has a fever.
A feverish dog shows a raised temperature, red conjunctiva, dry nose, rapid breathing, loss of appetite and lethargy, but you must measure to be sure. Take a rectal temperature; above 39.5C means fever.
I have a roughly 5-month-old large black puppy that eats anything. Three days ago it came home trembling; I thought it was cold. It stopped eating and only drank water. Today it returned weak and could barely walk, with cold paws and a stiff body. My relative thinks it ate rat poison and forced salt water down its throat. Its tongue looked pale and it drooled. Will it survive the night? What illness is this?
If the puppy is normally free-roaming, the cause could be poisoning, cold weather, low blood sugar, pain or an infectious disease. Check the temperature and move it indoors to keep warm, and observe its diet, temperature, nose, stool, energy and vomiting to narrow down the cause and treat accordingly.
What happens when a cat has a fever?
