Feeding Precautions to Prevent Enteritis in Turtles
Turtle enteritis has primary causes (poor husbandry) and secondary causes (parasites, liver disease, systemic infection); the primary causes are the easiest to control. The key feeding measures are: avoid hard-to-digest or spoiled food, stop feeding in low or sharply fluctuating temperatures, wait before feeding a newly arrived turtle, and pause feeding during illness—plus feed on a fixed schedule and in measured amounts.
Can a Puppy With a Runny Nose Get Vaccinated?
Dogs showing any sign of illness—such as a runny nose, sneezing, vomiting, or diarrhea—should not be vaccinated, because live-attenuated vaccines can worsen an existing condition. Puppies need to be at least 45 days old for their first shot and about 3 months old for the rabies vaccine, with deworming spaced roughly a week apart. After vaccination, observe the dog for 30 minutes, avoid baths for 7 days, and confirm immunity with an antibody test around 15 days later.
Persian
The Persian cat, also called Persian, Chinchilla, or Himalayan, with the Latin name Persian, represents nobility in people's minds. In China, most people's first pet cat was a Persian. However, most kept Persians are not purebred but non-purebred bred by merchants to meet the market; purebred Persians cost over a thousand dollars. Originating in Persia (Iran), it was developed in Britain over more than 100 years from Afghan longhair and Angora cats.

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.
