What happens after a female cat is spayed?
Right after spaying, the cat may be lethargic, eat less, and avoid activity while the wound heals, then returns to normal. She will no longer go into heat, so no more frequent calling, restlessness, or mate-seeking. Lower hormones make her calmer, and spaying removes pregnancy and nursing, reducing risks of mammary hyperplasia and pyometra.
My dog vomited all yesterday, not today, but has a high temperature, eats nothing, and sleeps most of the day.
These signs most likely indicate illness rather than pregnancy, especially with fever and refusal to eat. An unspayed female's fever may signal pyometra; distemper, parvovirus, pancreatitis, or acute gastroenteritis are other possibilities. Prompt veterinary examination is urged to avoid a fatal delay.
What can’t a pregnant chinchilla eat?
Avoid greasy, spicy, high-sugar/high-fat, irritating foods—chocolate, onion, garlic, ginger harm mother/fetus. Know dietary taboos. Late pregnancy appetite may drop; give dried apple, oats to maintain strength.
My cat was bred on July 2; is she pregnant now? If so it’s day 58 and she won’t eat, only drinks water—what medicine should I give?
Per the photo, swollen red nipples and a breeding history strongly suggest pregnancy; pregnant cats show increased appetite, sleepiness, larger belly, red nipples; some get irritable. Pre-labor signs: discharge, milk, nesting—near delivery. If appetite stops, don't give medicine blindly (risk to mother/fetus); take to hospital for prenatal check and nutrient IV, and professional pre-delivery care.
What are the signs of a pregnant sugar glider?
A pregnant female shows signs: within weeks the breasts swell and enlarge; appetite increases to feed herself and joeys; behavior changes—quieter and more aggressive, and she makes a comfortable nest to protect herself and the young.
How can I tell if a cat is successfully pregnant?
After successful mating, hormone changes reduce heat signs. Early on there are few changes, but later appetite rises, she sleeps more, the belly is sensitive, and nipples redden and enlarge; after a month the abdomen grows. A vet ultrasound at one month confirms pregnancy and shows fetus count, size and health.
What happens when a female rabbit is pregnant?
A pregnant doe usually shows these changes: increased appetite needing more feed; a temperament that may become gentler or more nervous; a growing body and visibly swollen mammary glands; and before birth she seeks a quiet spot in the cage to build a nest.
Why Is My Parrot Fish’s Belly Swollen?
A swollen parrot-fish belly means overfeeding and indigestion, pregnancy, or gut disease. Stop feeding and medicate for indigestion, ease water changes during pregnancy, and use norfloxacin or a stronger mix for enteritis - but find the cause first.
How can I tell if a guinea pig is pregnant?
A pregnant guinea pig shows clear signs: weight gain, swollen abdomen, swollen and prominent nipples. It may become quieter and less active, and later show nesting behavior like gathering grass and wood. Appetite may increase to nourish the fetuses. The most reliable confirmation is a vet exam via palpation and X-ray.
My cat’s X-ray shows no bones—is it pregnant? How to tell?
Fetal bones show on X-ray only at 40-45 days; at 25-28 days use ultrasound to see gestational sacs. From your description it may be pregnant or pseudopregnant (similar signs, but distinguishable by ultrasound). At ~21 days nipples enlarge and redden; some cats have poor appetite/morning sickness at 3-4 weeks; at ~28 days body changes—slight back sag, round belly.
