Why has my dog’s belly gotten bigger?
A bigger belly may simply be a full stomach that returns to normal after digestion, or indigestion that lingers and needs probiotics. Pregnancy, fluid buildup, or parasites can also enlarge the belly.
My cat is shedding wildly with floating fur that won’t comb out; maybe from washing with human shampoo; coat is dull and can’t be touched; what to do?
Heavy shedding with floating fur can be seasonal, endocrine, dietary, or from human shampoo damaging skin pH. Use pet shampoo, improve diet, and see a vet if needed.
My hedgehog miscarried on April 3, how soon can it get pregnant again with the male still together?
After a miscarriage, wait about 1 to 2 months before rebreeding; separate the pair meanwhile. Watch for pink nipples, more appetite, and slow movement as pregnancy signs; gestation is about 58 to 60 days, so prep a birth area in time.
My thin cat with enlarged red nipples and slight belly may be pregnant, will being thin cause dystocia, and what is cesarean cost?
A thin cat with red nipples may be pregnant or falsely pregnant; only a vet exam confirms. Give good nutrition and comfort, and seek care if vomiting, diarrhea, or odd signs appear. Cesarean cost varies by clinic.
How long before birth does a dog start nesting?
Dogs usually start nesting 1 to 3 days before labor, signaling the due date is near, so prepare for whelping. If nesting is joined by temperature drop, appetite loss, restlessness, or discharge, birth may occur within 2 hours. Pregnancy is 58 to 65 days; estimate the due date from mating.
Signs of a Pregnant Chinchilla
A pregnant chinchilla changes in temperament (irritable, aggressive, rejects others — house alone, away from males), diet (early appetite drop then big increase, near-starvation 1–2 days before birth; add calcium, vitamins, easily digested food), sleep (much more, deep), stamina (less — avoid hard exercise to prevent shock), and weight (clear gain after a month — weigh daily). Keep her calm, well-fed, and in a clean, quiet home.
How long is a Chinchilla cat pregnant before delivering kittens?
A Chinchilla cat's pregnancy is about 63 days; some deliver a few days early or late. Before labor it may act restless, lose appetite, and scratch the floor, and usually delivers within 2 hours of water breaking. Prepare a comfortable nest.
It had a little vitamin B2 earlier, now vomits kibble and yellow fluid; normal? Not eating, only drinking.
A pregnant cat vomiting yellow fluid may be morning sickness; if it vomits once with good spirits, it is usually normal, just fast half a day or use probiotics. Frequent yellow vomit may mean hairballs or gut disease with low spirits, diarrhea; distinguish and, if no improvement, see a vet rather than self-medicate.
When Can You Tell If a Female Dog’s Mating Was Successful?
A female dog's pregnancy can be judged about one month after mating by signs and touch, such as increased appetite and a larger belly with palpable embryos. An ultrasound at the vet gives a more accurate result.
