How do I breed a Whippet?
Before breeding Whippets, health-check both dogs and know their bloodlines to avoid inbreeding and defects. Breed at the right age: females first at 18 months-2 years, males at 1+ year. Best mating is days 10-14 of heat, in a quiet place, with post-breeding nutrition.
How do I train a Chuandong hunting dog?
Training a Chuandong hound needs patience; start young when learning is easier, and do basic obedience (sit, wait, shake) with rewards. For hunting, use rabbits or pheasants to trigger prey drive and reward chasing, then train in safe outdoor settings.
What happens if you hit a Schnauzer?
Hitting a Schnauzer causes negative mental and behavioral changes—fear of the owner, hiding, loss of trust, and low self-esteem. In extremes, fear or pain can trigger defensive aggression, and long-term abuse can cause injury or even depression.
My cat came back from two days outside and has a lump and a small wound on its back
A back lump can come from irritated or infected sebaceous/cyst glands, dampness, or poor diet. The photo is blurry, so watch it, clean the wound with iodine, and see a vet if the lump grows. A post-vaccine lump that fades is harmless.
Excess yellow eye discharge, red swollen eyes, often can’t open, visible film over the eyeball
The photo shows eyelid and conjunctival inflammation, cause unknown. See a vet; if not convenient, clean with saline or pet eye drops and apply pet anti-inflammatory drops, with a collar to stop scratching. If no improvement, see a vet.
Why is my dog’s scalp skin ulcerating?
From the photo the lesion has discharge, likely a bacterial infection. Take the dog for a skin check; if bacterial, flush with peroxide or saline, dry, and apply antibacterial ointment. Keep a collar on to stop scratching.
My cat has a bump on its lower body
From the photo, the cat's genital area is abnormal with scabbing. An exposed penis in cats is usually from heat or urinary disease. An unneutered male in heat may show the penis and lick it, but scabbing is not normal, so a vet visit is advised.
What should I do if my dog ate a sprouted raw potato?
Eating a sprouted raw potato can poison a dog, so inducing vomiting is generally advised right away. If the best window for vomiting has passed, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly to decide whether gastric lavage or laxatives are needed, and begin detox treatment in time. If poisoning symptoms appear, detoxify immediately, as delay can be fatal. If no abnormalities show up and the exam is clear, no treatment is needed.
Does dry heaving count as enteritis? Also, there are some fluffy bits of skin around the eyes – could it be a bit of white-eye disease?
Common signs of enteritis in turtles include lethargy, reduced appetite, unformed or abnormally colored droppings, and refusal to eat. In severe cases the eyes may sink, the skin may become dry and dull, and muscles may loosen, eventually leading to death from systemic failure. In early stages, lactobacillus tablets or berberine can help adjust gut flora, with anti-inflammatory drugs as supportive care; severe cases need oral or injected antibiotics. The blurry photo makes it hard to judge the eyes, so white-eye disease cannot be confirmed, though a white film over the eyes is possible.
My cat walks with a limp, lifting one front paw as it goes, but I see no obvious wound and it can still jump. The paw pad looks a bit odd but it won’t let me look, so I’m not sure, and sometimes it walks normally.
The limp is likely a paw-pad issue. Without a photo the exact problem is unclear; swelling could be trauma, a foreign object, infection, or inflammation. Check the foot; if spirits and appetite are fine, serious disease is less likely. Over-worn pads can also swell and cause limping.
