How do I choose a myna bird?
When choosing a myna: best taming age is 3–4 months, so pick one about 3 months old; check health — glossy feathers, bright eyes, strong body, good appetite, quick reactions; and if you want it to talk, choose a male, as males learn to mimic speech more easily.
My cat has a rough red scab on the back of its neck — is it ringworm, and how should I treat it?
From the photo, sparse fur and suppressed follicles around the scab suggest a burn from heat or a topical dewormer; disinfect with iodine and use a follicle-repair product. If not, it may be parasite, bacterial, or fungal infection. Flea bites cause red papules — deworm regularly. For suspected ringworm, use a Wood's lamp; apple-green glow means ringworm, treatable with antifungal ointment.

How can I improve the damp fur on my cat’s nose, and it licked itself yellow — will shaving help?

Why is one of my cat’s eyes red and swollen?

How can I tell if my cat is infected with ringworm?
Ringworm usually causes hair loss, scabs, dandruff, and itching, with the bald patches spreading quickly in round, oval, or irregular shapes. From your photo there is no hair loss, so it may not be ringworm but rather a scratch; disinfect the area. If dandruff or hair loss appears later, get a skin test at the vet.
What happens when a dog gets lost?
