What are the symptoms of parvovirus in dogs?
Canine parvovirus typically causes diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, reduced appetite, and fever. Any dog can catch it, but puppies are at higher risk with a high death rate. Seek veterinary care promptly and vaccinate dogs over two months old.
Why is my dog still bleeding after 30 days of her heat cycle?
Bleeding for 30 days into a dog's heat cycle is usually normal, since cycles vary individually and typically last 15-30 days (some only 7-15). If she is energetic with no fever, appetite loss, vomiting or diarrhea, keep observing and keep the vulva clean and dry to prevent bacteria. But if bleeding increases with a foul odor and her mood or appetite changes, a reproductive issue may be the cause — see a vet.
When should a cat be vaccinated?
Kittens can be dewormed internally and externally at two months old, then observed for a week. If there are no abnormal symptoms, vaccinations can begin. Cats typically receive the FVRCP feline triple vaccine, given as three shots about 21 to 28 days apart, with the rabies vaccine given alongside the third shot.
How many babies does a hamster usually have?
A hamster usually gives birth to 1-12 pups, most commonly around 5-8. After mating, pregnancy lasts about 17-25 days, and an ultrasound at the vet can confirm the number. If a litter is very large, some pups may be weak with lower survival rates, so watch the newborns closely and keep the environment at 20-30 C.
Why is my dog losing so much fur?
Heavy shedding in dogs can be either physiological or pathological. Physiological shedding is usually seasonal, which is normal and tapers off after the molting season. Pathological shedding, however, often stems from skin diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, or mite infections, leading to localized bald patches, itching, and heavy dandruff.
How to remove fleas from a cat?

At what age do rabbits go into heat?
Female rabbits typically cycle in March–May and September–November, first around 3.5–4 months; males may breed year-round from about 4–4.5 months. Do not breed a doe at her first heat, as her body is still developing.

What should I do if my hamster is bitten by another hamster?
If a hamster is bitten by a cage mate and the wound is minor, simply disinfect it. First separate the hamster, then clip the fur around the wound and clean it with saline or a pet-safe spray before applying a wound ointment. For serious wounds such as uncontrolled bleeding or broken bones, take the hamster to a vet promptly.
