My Bred Cat Now Has Vulvar Discharge – Could It Be Pyometra?
Vaginal discharge can mean heat, impending birth, postpartum lochia, or uterine disease. Pus with foul odor needs ultrasound and spay. During pregnancy, abnormal discharge may signal miscarriage.
How Do I Choose a Hill Myna?
Check that the feathers are fully grown; unfeathered birds are under 20 days and hard to raise. For talking, choose a female for clearer speech; males are more colorful. Avoid listless, hoarse, dull-eyed birds that are likely sick.
I thought it was a four-month-old squirrel and don’t know if it can be released into the forest, or whether it can mate with wild squirrels. Also, how long should it stay in the forest – a few days? Should it be brought home at night? In the wild I keep it in a cage with a leash, hidden in the forest; the cage top is open. (Photo attached.)
Releasing a pet squirrel into the forest to mate with wild squirrels is not recommended. Risks include size mismatches, predators, environmental instability, and stress-related death.

How often does a Teddy dog go into heat?
An adult Teddy typically goes into heat once each in spring and autumn, with each cycle lasting about 2-3 weeks. During heat they emit a strong odor and a small amount of blood, so a dog diaper helps keep things clean.
How often does a cat go into heat in a year?
Female cats heat about 3-4 times a year, each cycle 1-2 months, with heats every 2-3 weeks within. Males heat irregularly, triggered by nearby females. In heat cats become clingy and show spraying, frequent howling, reduced appetite, and tail or butt raising when stroked; spay if not breeding.
How long until guppies can breed?
Guppies mature early, breeding at about 3-4 months. During breeding keep males and females at a 1:4 ratio in a separate tank. Pregnancy is 21-25 days; first-time mothers produce about 10 fry, later up to around 100. Remove the mother after birth to prevent her eating the fry.
How to breed a cat?
At the cat's second heat, find a same-breed male with good looks so kittens have nice coloring. Put both cats in a new place or bring the female to the male's territory and observe from the dark. The male mounts the female for 1-5 minutes; when she turns to bite him and he steps off, breeding is finished.
What is a cat’s menstruation like?
Cats do not menstruate; they ovulate only when stimulated by a male, with only clear mucus, no bleeding. Vaginal bleeding may mean injury or uterine/ovarian disease; seek care. Heat signs include calling, raising rump, clinginess.
