Feline Coronavirus: What Owners Should Know
Most cats carry feline coronavirus and shed it in stool within two days; many show no signs, and gut cases often self-resolve. It can, rarely, mutate into FIP when the virus replicates strongly. Cut risk by avoiding multi-cat crowds, vaccinating, cleaning, and boosting immunity.
Dog Fever: What Medicine and How to Treat
Normal dog temperature is 38–39°C; 39.5°C is a fever, 40.5°C high. Use dog-only fever reducers—never human pills (acetaminophen can poison dogs). Confirm no serious disease at a clinic, then use meds plus physical cooling (alcohol wipes, ice pack); if fever lasts 3 days, hospitalize.
What to Give a Puppy with Diarrhea
For diarrhea, first fix appetite (electrolytes if refusing food), then fast-and-observe with water; a bland cause often clears by next day. Rule out weather and gut disease with pet probiotics, and only fear parvo or distemper if fever, depression, and bloody stool appear — then rush to a vet.
What to Feed a Chow Chow

When to Give Your Dog Deworming Medicine
Deworming should begin when a puppy is 3–4 weeks old and then continue on a regular schedule, with adult dogs treated at least once a year. Pick the dewormer based on the parasite you're targeting and always dose by your dog's weight — and give it on an empty stomach, waiting about eight hours before the next meal.

Can Cats Eat Eggs
Yes — cats can eat eggs in moderation (no more than about 10% of the diet, a couple of times a week). They're a digestible source of protein, taurine, and vitamins, but never feed them raw, and skip them for obese cats, egg-allergic cats, or kittens not yet on solids.
Foods a Pomeranian Must Never Eat
Pomeranians are prone to pancreatitis and toxicity from common human foods. Chocolate, milk, alliums, cooked bones, spicy seasonings, raw meat, table scraps, and hard-to-digest seafood can cause anything from anemia to intestinal perforation — keep them all off the menu.
What to Feed a Chihuahua
A Chihuahua thrives on age-appropriate kibble supplemented with canned food, dog-safe vegetables, lean meats, and enough calcium for its small frame. Match portions and nutrients to its life stage, and avoid people food that drives allergies and obesity.
Why Dogs Get Picky in Spring (and What to Do)
Spring warmth spoils food fast and the mating season dulls appetite, so picky eating in dogs often points to gastritis, poor digestion, too many treats, parasites, or a cold. Rule out illness first, then tighten up diet, deworming, and warmth.
