Infectious Stomatitis in Rabbits
Infectious stomatitis (also called 'salivation disease') is a contagious viral disease of rabbits, especially 1–3-month-old kits, often infecting a whole litter at once. It causes drooling, mouth blisters and ulcers, and can kill kits within a week without prompt treatment; isolation, topical antibiotics and good hygiene are key to control.
Causes and Symptoms of Stomatitis in Rabbits
Stomatitis in rabbits is an acute, highly contagious viral infection that mainly strikes 1–4-month-old kits and can be fatal within a week if untreated. It causes drooling, mouth blisters and ulcers, and loss of appetite, and is usually caught from contaminated feed or water entering through small mouth wounds.
How to Support a Cat with a Sensitive Stomach
Some cats have notoriously delicate digestions—the so-called glass stomach—prone to soft stools, diarrhea, and vomiting. The key to managing it is diet. Choose a limited-ingredient, single-protein hypoallergenic food, feed small meals several times a day, and always transition new food over seven days. Pet-specific probiotics (mixed into water below 40°C so the live cultures survive) help rebalance gut flora, while a calm, low-stress home prevents flare-ups. If symptoms persist or worsen, a vet check and possibly a prescription gastrointestinal diet are the right next steps.
What to Do When Your Dog Has a Runny Nose
Every owner meets a sick dog - runny nose, low spirits, diarrhea. Do not panic or rush to medication; first find the cause. Feel the nose: a healthy awake dog's nose is moist, so a wet nose with a runny nose usually means cold weather, while a dry nose with cough and lethargy likely means a cold. For cold-weather runoff, warm the dog well, since puppies have weak resistance. For a cold, see a vet and follow the advice - mild cases go home on schedule, severe ones may need fluids. Never give human medicine on your own if you are unsure; ask a vet. Also keep the diet plain - no salty or spicy food - and remember grains give the best coat and health, with meat as a supplement rather than a daily staple.
The Goldfish Breeding Process
Goldfish breeding has three steps: pairing, fertilization, and hatching. Mature fish pair on their own in season; in southern China the peak is March-April, with water best kept at 18-25°C. They fertilize externally — the female releases eggs, the male adds sperm, and fertilized eggs hatch in about 5-7 days at ~18°C with good oxygen.
