How Intelligent Are Terriers?
Terriers are highly intelligent with strong learning and adaptability, ranking near the top in tests like border, Jack Russell and Yorkshire terriers. But rankings are not the only factor when choosing a family dog.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.

Do Rabbits Get Fleas?
Rabbits rarely get fleas on their own thanks to constant self-grooming, but dirty surroundings or contact with infested cats or dogs can infect them; treat bites with clipped fur, medicine, and an Elizabethan collar, and disinfect the cage.

For some reason, after going out to play it didn’t come back; we found it lying by a small tree, stood up slowly when called, walked slowly, and at home kept panting with a choking sound.
Constant panting can be from obesity and narrow airways, or pneumonia, pulmonary edema, asthma, or heart disease (e.g., cardiomyopathy, valve disease) reducing pumping. Get a vet check for the exact cause.
How do I take a puppy’s temperature?
Two common methods are rectal and ear. For rectal, use a lubricated, disinfected thermometer inserted about one-third and held three minutes. For ear, use a pet ear thermometer for 2-3 seconds. Keep the thermometer clean and dry.
Energy and appetite are both fine, just diarrhea.
Diarrhea with normal energy and appetite is often dietary; hard-to-digest food, fast eating, or sudden food change. A short fast and pet probiotics help; internal parasites can also cause it with weight loss. Deworm if parasites are suspected.
Why doesn’t my Border Collie like taking baths?
A Border Collie may dislike baths because it dislikes the feeling of wet fur or is simply fearful of the process. Being forced into an unfamiliar setting and exposed to water or bathing equipment can make it feel tense and uncomfortable.
