Centipede
The centipede is a terrestrial, venomous arthropod kept both for its medicinal value and as an exotic pet. A nocturnal carnivore that hibernates and must be raised in a secure, three-dimensional enclosure, it reproduces by laying eggs carried on the mother's back.
Slow Loris
The Slow Loris (Loris tardigradus) is a small prosimian of the family Lorisidae and genus Loris. It is nocturnal, moves slowly, and prefers to rest atop tree branches. In recent years, due to habitat destruction, hunting for use in traditional medicine, overhunting, and its own biological traits, it is on the brink of extinction.
How can I prevent parasites in my dog?
There are many ways. First, deworm regularly with parasite medicine, planning based on age, health and environment; this is the most effective method.
Can a Dog Get Sick from Being Rained On?
A dog that gets soaked in the rain can fall ill. Wet fur that is not dried promptly leaves the dog prone to colds, fever, and skin infections, and short-haired and young dogs are especially vulnerable. After rain, towel-dry the body, especially the belly and joints, then use a low-heat dryer; keep the dog's environment dry and warm and watch for sneezing, coughing, or fever.
How to stop a dog from scratching eye-area hair loss?
Put an Elizabethan collar on to stop scratching and worsening the skin. Get a skin scraping at the vet; eye-area hair loss may be allergy, ringworm, mange, or hormone imbalance. Determine the cause, then treat, keeping medicine out of the eyes.
Why Does My Dog Have Red, Crusty Skin Patches
Red, crusty spots can come from parasites, fungal or bacterial infection, allergies, or injury. Small wounds can be cleaned with iodine and an Elizabethan collar; larger or spreading patches need a vet skin scrape to find the cause. Early treatment is cheap — don't delay.
What to Do When You Find a Stray Kitten
If you find a newborn kitten, first check its body for wounds or parasites, keep it warm and clean, and feed it kitten formula (never cow's milk). Once stable, take it to a vet for screening, vaccines, and deworming, then decide whether to keep it or rehome it.
Common Dog Diseases and Their Symptoms
A sick dog shows changes in behavior and body that veterinarians call symptoms. Owners who notice these early can get the right help faster. Fever is one of the clearest signals: a dog's normal temperature is 38.3-39C, and anything above 39C means the dog is running a temperature. Here are the common causes behind sudden high fever and lingering low fever.
Preventing Autumn and Winter Dog Illnesses
Cold seasons bring risks. Keep warm—especially puppies and seniors—with a warmer bed, blanket, or heat lamp (watch electrical safety and distance); bathe at midday in sunlight, less often, warmer water. For weather-related colds (sneeze, runny nose, cough), use pet-specific cold medicine and warmth—never human drugs—and see a vet if it worsens. Keep walking for immunity; short-haired or weak dogs can wear coats and must be dried after rain. Diet may need more frequent small meals; keep probiotics ready for soft stool. Deworm year-round (fleas stay active), and expect the autumn coat shed (Sept–Oct).
How to Prevent Parasite Disease in Turtles
Turtles can develop parasite disease, and the risk rises in the hot summer months, so prevention belongs in every keeper's routine. Common parasites—tapeworms, coccidia, roundworms, and others—live in the gut, lungs, liver, and more, stealing nutrients and weakening the turtle until it wastes away. Good hygiene, quarantining new arrivals, and prompt deworming are the core defenses. This guide explains the parasites, their symptoms, and the practical prevention and medication steps that keep your turtle healthy.
