Hello doctor, a small Teddy, 2 years old, 1.6 kg, since yesterday afternoon won’t eat—not even its favorite apple—and is unwilling to go out. Urination normal, stools slightly fewer than a few days ago, no diarrhea. What should I do?
Not eating divides into physiological and pathological anorexia. Physiological occurs in teething, estrus, pregnancy, pickiness, or hot weather; offer better food like chicken or canned food and wait. Pathological brings other signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, arched back, unsteady walking. If worsening, see a vet.
What Happens If a Female Teddy in Heat Is Not Bred?
A female Teddy not being bred during heat has no ill effect and returns to normal after the heat ends. But if she is never bred across heats, the risk of uterine disease, ovarian cysts, false pregnancy, and mammary tumors rises.
My cat is releasing yellow discharge but has no contractions, doesn’t cry out, and acts completely normal—what does this mean?
If a pregnant cat releases yellow discharge without contractions, the cause depends on her stage of pregnancy. Yellow discharge may signal a uterine or vaginal infection when accompanied by a foul odor or other symptoms, or it may simply be a normal early-pregnancy secretion.
Guinea Pig Biological Traits and Characteristics
Guinea pigs are social, gentle prey animals that need dry, warm, clean housing and a high-fiber vegetarian diet. They are sensitive to smell, sound, and temperature; prone to pneumonia in poor air; and unusually sensitive to antibiotics such as penicillin. Their long pregnancy ends in fully developed pups that walk within an hour.
Should Rabbits Fast Before Spay or Neuter Surgery?
Rabbits should NOT be fasted before spay or neuter — they do not vomit under anesthesia, and an empty gut raises the risk of fatal gastrointestinal stasis. Spaying females at 1–2 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.
Siamese
The Siamese cat, also called the Thai cat, with English name Siamese, traces its origins to Thailand in the 14th century from non-purebred Asian cats. Once living in royal palaces and temples, it was later given as a diplomatic gift to other countries. Famous for its striking color points, blue almond eyes, and vocal, affectionate personality, the Siamese is a beloved and distinctive breed.
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 hedgehog keeps running around and raising its quills; I feed it mealworms daily and it doesn’t quill up while eating-is it pregnant? It runs after eating, mostly at night when I get home-what’s wrong?
Frequent quill-raising and running may relate to anxiety, insecurity, discomfort, pregnancy, or estrus. Hedgehogs like quiet, dim, hidden shelters; avoid disturbance and light. If irritable, separate from other animals and provide comfort; if abnormal behavior persists, consult an exotic-pet vet.
My cat is over four months old and not fat; for two days it only drinks water and won’t eat cat food—what could be the reason?
A cat not eating is usually physiological or pathological anorexia. Physiological happens in teething, heat, pregnancy, or pickiness—try tastier food like chicken or canned food. If it refuses even favorite meat, it is likely pathological, often with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unsteady walking. Long refusal with other signs needs a vet check for mouth, gut, or infectious disease.
