Can a lactating cat be dewormed?
No, a nursing cat should not be dewormed; the drug's toxicity passes through milk and can poison kittens. Deworm before breeding, then resume after weaning. If parasites appear while nursing, wean early and use formula or vet-guided deworming.
What to feed a puppy after weaning at 30 days?
At 30 days feed puppy-formula milk replacer in small frequent meals by weight. At 45 days add softened kibble 4-5 times; dry kibble only at 3 months.
What if my dog does not have enough milk?
Low milk often means poor nutrition; feed crucian carp soup, bone broth, goat milk powder, or pregnancy formula to boost supply. Warm compresses and gentle massage help ducts; if still low, bottle-feed pups with goat milk formula.
What medicine to give a dog with a respiratory tract infection?
Bacterial infections are treated with doxycycline or amoxicillin clavulanate; common viral symptoms with herbal formulas like Maxingshigan. Parainfluenza or distemper needs injectable vet treatment, not oral medicine.
What to do if a baby kitten won’t eat?
A kitten refusing food may mean the formula is too dilute, the nipple too hard, or indigestion from overfeeding. Adjust concentration or nipple, feed small and often, and see a vet if it still won't eat.
Can Dog Food Cause Tear Stains? How Diet Affects Them
Some dogs' tear stains are diet-related, but not always the food's fault. Food can worsen stains through allergies, excess salt or additives, or mineral imbalance. If stains worsen after switching food, change it; if diet isn't the cause, see a vet to rule out blocked tear ducts or other issues.
Kitten Milk-Paste Food vs. Kitten Kibble: What’s the Difference?
Milk-paste (milk cake) food suits kittens in the 1–4 month weaning window — tiny, soft, easy to mash, and gentle on undeveloped teeth and tummies. Kitten kibble (1–8 months) has larger, firmer pieces that exercise the jaws. Both are far richer than adult food; pick based on your kitten's age and your feeding routine.
Egg Yolks for Cats: Not All Good News
Egg yolks can improve a cat's coat (thanks to lecithin) and supply protein and vitamins, but they're also high in cholesterol and can upset the stomach if overfed. Never feed raw yolk. Feed cooked yolk in moderation based on the cat's age, and skip it for cats with pancreatitis or kidney issues.
When do kittens wean?
Generally, kittens can be weaned at about four weeks. If a kitten is weak, keep it on mother's milk a bit longer. During weaning, feed it liquid food. At this stage the gut is fragile, so do not feed dry kibble directly; soften kibble with warm water or goat milk. Use cat-specific goat-milk formula, never regular milk powder.
How should you feed a dog kibble?
Puppies under one year need puppy-formula kibble; at two months soften it with goat milk or warm water. From three months feed dry kibble 3 to 4 times daily, and switch to adult food once or twice a day after one year.
