Should Rabbits Fast Before Spay or Neuter Surgery?
Rabbits should NOT be fasted before spay or neuter โ they do not vomit under anesthesia, and an empty gut raises the risk of fatal gastrointestinal stasis. Spaying females at 1โ2 years and neutering males around 6 months lowers reproductive-disease risk, and after surgery keep the environment calm, offer plenty of water and food, and watch the incision for infection.
HimalayanใColourpoint Persians
The Persian is a widely known and popular breed; from its early crossbreeding emerged the Himalayan cat. The Persian's early evolution likely occurred on the cold Persian Plateau (today's Iran and Iraq). When Phoenicians and Romans brought these silky-longhaired cats to Europe, Europeans fell for them. Over the years, the Persian's long coat was deliberately retained and emphasized in breeding.

Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau (Felinae) is found worldwide. Although called the Egyptian Mau, it cannot be confirmed that it originated in Egypt; however, because its image and written records appear in ancient Egyptian murals, steles, and papyrus scrolls, people believe its ancestor is the African wildcat. In the 1950s, the Egyptian Mau was introduced to the United States and Britain, and in 1968 it won awards in formal competitions.
My cat vomited white mucus this morning, ate a little food and probiotics, and the stool is unclear but was normal before vomiting

What cat food should I feed a cat with a sensitive stomach?
For a cat with digestive issues, wet food like canned food is nutritious and easy to digest, and prescription gastrointestinal diets add factors that protect gut health. Probiotic-enriched cat food can also help improve digestion and absorption, though prescription diets may be less palatable.
My puppy vomited pink foam with some blood streaks; it can’t get comfortable, keeps whimpering, and cries when touched
Pink foamy vomit with blood may mean: 1. stomach irritation or inflammation from irritants, foreign objects, or bones, with poor appetite and belly pain; 2. gastrointestinal bleeding from ulcers, tumors, infection, or parasites, with poor appetite, bloody stool, anemia; 3. viral enteritis like parvovirus, with diarrhea and bloody stool. Whatever the cause, first withhold food and water and take the dog to a vet promptly.
Vomiting for two days, occasional episodes, now lethargic with no energy, not eating, only drinking water
A cat that vomits, is lethargic, and loses appetite may have acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, a foreign object, hairballs, kidney failure, hepatitis, parasites, poisoning, FIP, or panleukopenia, among many causes. The best step is to take the cat to a clinic for exams and tests to confirm the cause, then treat accordingly.
