What breed is a black-and-white cat?
Black-and-white cats are mostly cow cats, a type of Chinese native cat. They are mixed-breed, randomly marked, hardy, energetic, playful, loyal, and easy to keep, and are cheap or free to adopt—great for beginners.
When does a skylark usually sing?
Skylarks sing most in spring (breeding season) with the finest songs to mark territory and attract mates; in winter they stay quiet to save energy. Different calls serve different purposes—territory or warning versus courtship.
My four-month-old kitten is between its second and third vaccines so wasn’t dewormed; I found fleas, applied topical treatment, but still see live fleas—did I use too little?
After topical deworming, parasites usually take 3–7 days to clear; fleas specifically 3–5 days, so seeing live ones early is normal—don't re-dose. Remove fallen fleas and disinfect the environment, and control the dose since the medicine is toxic.
What causes a lump at my dog’s tail base and on its chest?
A lump on a dog's tail base or chest is usually caused by a skin problem—a bacterial infection forming scabs or parasite bites. Put on an Elizabethan collar, disinfect with iodine, and see a vet for a skin scrape if it does not improve; bacterial pyoderma needs pet-safe antibacterial medication.
My dog had a malignant oral fibrosarcoma removed from its gums—does it need further treatment?
Canine oral fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor that tends to recur; although it rarely spreads (about 24% of cases metastasize), full staging is strongly recommended after biopsy. Treatment is usually surgery, with radiation offering the longest survival when combined with incomplete removal.
Can a Cat’s Epilepsy Heal on Its Own?
No — cat epilepsy cannot self-heal. It is a brain-based, intermittent seizure disorder. Watch for pre-attack mood swings, convulsions with foaming and tongue bites during, and confusion after. Treatment is drugs like phenobarbital, diazepam, or gabapentin under a vet.
How long is the course of feline coronavirus infection?
FCoV has two forms. Effusive (wet): early vague (weight loss, anorexia, weakness), then fever 39.7–41.1°C, high WBC, mild respiratory signs; later ascites, dyspnea, anemia, weakness. Course 2 weeks–2 months, mostly fatal. Non-effusive (dry): granulomas in organs, eye infections (corneal edema, iris/lens inflammation); CNS damage → ataxia, mild paralysis, seizures. Course 1–8 weeks, mostly fatal. Your cat likely shows non-effusive signs—seek professional treatment and care.
I found skin issues on my dog while bathing—what’s the cause?
When unsure of the skin type, get a scraping at a vet to identify fungus/bacteria/parasite/allergy/mixed, then treat per guidance. If no vet access, shave fur around the area, clean/disinfect with saline and iodine, let dry, spray pet skin spray, add oral anti-inflammatory/anti-itch, use Elizabethan collar. If no relief in 5–7 days, get further checks; regular external deworming.
What food do butterflies like to eat?
Many butterfly species; diets differ. Some prefer flower nectar (sugars and amino acids aid growth/vitality); some prefer leaves and fruit. Different life stages differ—larvae eat specific plant leaves for energy/nutrients. Generally butterflies like sugar- and amino-acid-rich plants.
My cat was fine Saturday morning but by Sunday was diagnosed with kidney failure and won’t eat or drink—any way to treat or relieve symptoms at home? (Hospital is too expensive)
Per lab results, the cat's indicators are poor; kidney failure needs large-volume fluids plus medications, usually a long treatment. Two types: chronic (incurable, managed with diet) and acute (curable if treated timely; options: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, medical fluids). Treating at home without the hospital is unlikely to cure, especially with liver damage and low white cells/platelets—needs leukocyte boosters, anticoagulants, phosphate binders, liver protectants.
