I agree to Krista. Bring your dog to a vet. While there are home remedies you should look for the cause first.
Examples:
– If your dog ha snot eaten (enough), there can be no output – what are the reasons why he doesn’t eat?
– The dog has eaten enough, the cause could be slow bowel movements or even a blockage. Forcing something through that blockage could kill your dog.
Hello,
When our animal shelter takes in feral cats that turn out to be FIV positive we still let them back to their usual place, if they are truly feral and otherwise healthy. Nothing would be worse for them than to be contained for the rest of their live, always stressed out and afraid.
However if they turn out to be friendly, like yours and like to be touched etc. we try to find a new home – however still with the option to go outside, if they turn out to be not lucky inside.
Before doing so of course they will be treated against fleas, worms, get their cat flu shots, get neutered etc.
Of course they risk to contract FIV to other cats, but for neutered cats it’s lower, as they don’t get into fights that much and don’t mate.
It’s worse for leukemia. Of the last colony we trapped, most were tested positive for leukemia and they looked like it. They had a (very) bad health status and were put down, as they were completely feral.
I can’t recommend a medication for worms however, as the products will most likely be different from where you live and I’m no vet anyway.
Hello,
That kittens look like a female to me :). You should get er spayed soon, otherwise she will get pregnant if there are intact males around.
Hello,
from what you describe I would say she’s in heat. Definitly keep her inside until it’s over and get a surgery as soon as possible.
Here some vets may spay during heat, but the risk is higher due do more blood flow and such. So I would wait till it’s over and let her spay then.
I would go to the vet right now, if there are no pups yet. 13 hours is a long time. Call your vet and tell them the situation.
How old is this baby rabbit? Does it have its eye opened? If possible make a picture. Cow milk is not a good food for baby rabbits, it can cause bloating and pain for them and can lead to death.
Try to find someone who has experience in wildlife rescue and let them show you how to care for it if you want to raise it yourself. This is really important. It’s always best to learn from someone experienced.
But to get started: get special milk that is used to raise kittens (no ordinary catmilk). It needs to be mixed 1:1 (with lukewarm chamomile or fennel tea). Also give a drop of sab simplex inside, to ease bloating and belly pain.
They need to be fed every 2-4 hours, depending on age (also at night!). With around two weeks they start nibbeling on solid food and with around 4 weeks they can eat the same as an adult rabbit can additionally to their milk. So depending on age you have to offer different herbs, grass, hay and everything that a rabbit would eat in the nature, so that it learns what it can eat. The more it gets to know the better.
Do you massage it’s belly after each feeding time? Does it pee/poop?
If it is older than 6 weeks it doesn’t need milk and more but special food (here it’s called herbi-care-plus). You start feeding this food mixed with milk at around the age of 4 weeks. You have to start very slowly, only a few drops, as they need to adapt to the new food.
If you can’t find womeone to show you, read as much as you can about raising rabbits. It’s not an easy task.
Hello, Thanks for your answer. The kitten was of course sent to the vet. That is were the antibiotics and everything else come from. She also gave something for its lungs and the kitten also got fluids. The vet seid that the cat flu most likely went down to its lungs, so that they now are infected, too.
Everything I stated above from what we do to help with this kitten is supervised through a vet of course.
Of course I also don’t euthanize myself as I’m not a vet, but the vet said it doesn’t look good, as it got worse despite being supervised and treated.
Maybe I don’t use the right words, as english is not my first language, sorry for that.
I agree with Laura, hamsters don’t belong outside. If you want to give him more room to move outside his cage you can built him a safe area inside your room.
I would definitly go to a vet with her. While with 15 months your mouse is older now, she still doesn’t need to day. Maybe a vet can still help your mouse. Most mice I knew got around 18-20 month old. As I can’t see him I can’t tell for sure of course, if help is still possible. The breathing problems and clicking sound could be signs of a lunginfection. He should get antibiotics for this. Sometimes Vitamin B can also help.
It is important to keep him warm and hydrated. You can try to place a drop of water near his mouth so he can lick it up. Goes best with a pipette or a smallsyringe without needle. But don’t try to force it into him. if he has already breathing problems this can make it worse.
Sometimes this can come from the litter hat was used. But it is also possible that her paws produce to much keratin.
How long was she at the boarding facility? Did she have this problem before and what litter do you use?
