What to Do When Your Dog Is Injured

What Do Newborn Hamsters Eat? How to Care for Baby Hamsters
Newborn hamsters depend entirely on their mother's milk and are usually weaned at around four to five weeks of age. Once their eyes open you can introduce easily digestible hamster food, and by four weeks they should be separated from the mother to prevent stress and aggression. Avoid spicy foods and fruit pits, which can be toxic to hamsters.
Can You Deworm a Cat That Has Soft Stools?
It is generally not advisable to deworm a cat with soft stools, because the medication can further irritate the intestines and worsen the problem. Address the soft stools first—with dietary fiber and probiotics—and only deworm once the stool has returned to normal for about a week. If parasites are the suspected cause, confirm with a fecal test before treating.
How Long Can a Parrot Survive Crop Stasis, and How Is It Treated?
Crop stasis (also called crop impaction) in parrots is often caused by a blockage below the crop or by slow digestion, and if left untreated a parrot—especially a chick—usually survives no more than about three days. Prompt care includes withholding food and water, giving probiotics, and, for severe cases, clearing the crop with a syringe and tube or seeking veterinary treatment.
Turkish Angora
The Turkish Angora, named for Turkey's capital Ankara, is one of the oldest long-haired breeds, dating to the 16th century. Elegant with silky, medium-length coat and almond eyes, it is agile, independent, and famously fond of water. Once nearly supplanted by the Persian, it was revived in the US from 1963 and is now carefully bred to preserve its pure bloodline.
Siberian
The Siberian Forest Cat, shortened to Siberian Cat, has the earliest written records from the 11th century: it was a very common cat in Russian markets and Siberian villages. Living in a harsh country, it is covered in long fur with a thick ruff around the neck. Its outer guard hairs are hard, smooth, and oily, and its dense undercoat resists the Siberian cold.
Cornish Rex
The Cornish Rex, English name Cornish Rex, originates from England. Its ancestor is a non-purebred shorthair, dating to 1950, with a childlike, mischievous personality. The breeder mated the first kitten, Kallibunker, with its mother, producing more cats. This is the origin of the Cornish Rex breed.
Somali
The Somali cat looks much like the Abyssinian—slender, slightly rounded, with big V-shaped ears and almond eyes—but with a semi-long, soft, dense coat. Developed in the US and Canada from a spontaneous long-haired mutation of the Abyssinian, the Somali is intelligent, gentle, playful, and water-loving, though its abundant coat needs regular grooming.
