What to Do When a Cat Loses Its Appetite
A cat that won't eat may have indigestion, a boring diet, illness, or stress. Find the cause, then adjust feeding, add variety, see a vet, or ease the environment.
My cat just arrived, rarely ate kibble, so I gave cat treats, and it vomited twice this afternoon-the vomited food was the treats
If a newly arrived cat vomits cat treats twice, stop the treats and let the gut rest, fast 4-6 hours with water, then resume easily digestible food in small meals. Watch for continued vomiting; adjust diet back to kibble and avoid human food, consulting a vet if it worsens.
How long after arrival can a flowerhorn be fed?
Do not rush to feed a flowerhorn after arrival; wait 3 to 5 days. It is stressed and eats little at first, and a few days of fasting is fine; it usually adapts and regains appetite in about 3 days.
How soon after a shrimp carries eggs does it need to be isolated?
A shrimp carrying eggs should be isolated immediately. Egg-bearing shrimp are weak and easily startled, so separate them if other fish or shrimp share the tank. Isolation also protects tiny newborn shrimp from being eaten; add plants for cover.
How Long Does a Pomeranian’s Puppy-Coat Change Take?
A Pomeranian's puppy-coat change takes about 5 to 6 months, starting at 3 to 4 months and finishing at 7 to 8. Brush often and add nutrition, lecithin, or fish oil.
Why Does a Turtle Keep Trying to Escape
Turtles 'escape' mostly because something is wrong — poor water quality with low oxygen, a new and scary environment, hunger, or sensing danger like quakes or storms. Prevent it by changing all the tank water regularly, adding a secure lid, and providing shade and a hideout. If all is addressed and it still climbs, that's just instinct — just keep it safe.
Silver Mosaic Chinchilla
Some Silver Mosaic Chinchillas give the illusion of being all gray, but on close look their underfur is white; most can be told apart. The Silver Mosaic Chinchilla's scientific name is South American chinchilla, and because its appearance resembles the cartoon chinchilla in Hayao Miyazaki's film 'My Neighbor Totoro,' Hong Kong people renamed it 'Silver Mosaic Chinchilla.'
Eclectus Parrot
The Eclectus Parrot is a striking parrot with extreme sexual dimorphism—emerald-green males and deep-red females—native to Indonesia, New Guinea, and Australia. Quiet yet alert, it needs a large cage, a high-fiber diet rich in vitamin A, and never seed-only feeding.
Japanese White Rabbit
The Japanese White Rabbit is essentially the large white rabbit grown in Japan, also called the Japanese Large White. Said to descend from a cross of Chinese and Japanese white rabbits, it is a common breed mainly used for production. It matures early, grows fast, tolerates coarse feed, is a good mother with strong fertility, and is often used as a "foster mother" rabbit.
Beveren Rabbit
The Beveren Rabbit is a relatively small pet rabbit breed with fairly unremarkable features, so it is not widely bred and purebreds are hard to find. Recognized by its 'V'-shaped upright ears and 1–2 inch coat, it makes a gentle companion for rabbit lovers willing to look beyond the more common breeds.
