Is it possible to smoke in a room with an animal?

If you care about animals and their health, refrain from smoking in the premises where pets live

How to prolong the life of a pet?

It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally and briefly, let alone give specific and precise recommendations. Each pet needs an individual approach depending on the species, breed, age, gender and many other factors. In general, it can be said that it is a complex: proper maintenance and care, full and balanced feeding, high-quality veterinary care.

Is it necessary to undergo quarantine when buying a rodent?

Any new animal should be isolated from others for 2-4 weeks. A newly arrived pet can be placed in a different cage, but in the same room, although some viruses can be carried from room to room. If you cannot isolate the new pet from the old ones in a separate building, then there is no guarantee that the new one will not infect the old ones. To prevent infection, you must follow the relevant rules: wash your hands after communication, carefully observe the pet's behavior and appearance, be sure to show your pet to a veterinarian.

How to make life easier for a rodent in the heat?

1. The animal must have constant access to clean drinking water. Change the water in the fountain every day.

2. Give more juicy food – fruits and vegetables suitable for your rodent.

3. In no case do not put the cage in the sun, draft or in a stuffy room.

4. In case of very high air temperature, spread ice bags around the cage.

 

Bird
Why do birds eat sand?

A bird's stomach is a hard, muscular bag filled with small pebbles (or large sand). These pebbles act like a millstone, grinding the solid food that enters inside, making it ready for further digestion. Stones are constantly crushed, decreasing in size and removed from the body with feces. That is why birds peck stones, replenishing the supply of "stomach grinders".

How dangerous is the summer season for birds?

All birds enjoy the rays of the sun and undoubtedly need them. If the cage with your birds is near a window or you leave your pets under the sun's rays, then remember that there is always a danger of overheating. To prevent this from happening, leave part of the cage covered with a cloth. The bird should always be able to hide from the scorching rays of the sun and go into the shade. There should be water in the cage at all times, in addition to the automatic water dispenser, it is also desirable to hang a bath with water.

What is the best place in the room for a bird cage?

Any bird (picked up in nature or bought in a pet store) can be sick. Therefore, it can never be immediately released into a room where there are already birds. The person who arrived again must undergo quarantine.
Veterinary practice indicates that the quarantine period should be at least four weeks. During this time, the incubation period of most infectious diseases passes, and the possibility of transmitting the disease to healthy birds is excluded.

Which cage to choose?

The shape of the cages and their sizes depend on which bird they are intended for and for what purpose you are going to keep it.
The most practical rectangular cells without domes, devoid of any architectural excesses. They can be installed one above the other, like a column, thereby saving space in the apartment. The architectural excesses of the cages not only complicate its cleaning, but also contribute to the reproduction of blood-sucking arthropods.

How to correctly place the poles in the cage?

Perches or grafting branches should be placed so that the bird does not touch the wall of the cage with its tail and has the opportunity to fly from one to another. Perches can be installed at different levels, but not one above the other, so that the birds do not dirty each other's plumage with droppings. The number of poles depends on the size and purpose of the cage.

Which feeders are better to use for feeding?

Special feeders are used for feeding birds, where the feed is less prone to contamination and scattering. Each cage should have at least three feeders: for grain, soft and mineral feed. Feeders can be made of hard wood (beech, oak), plastic, ceramics or glass. The sides of the feeders must protect the feed from scattering.

How to care for birds?

An important condition for keeping birds in cages and aviaries is cleanliness. The well-known proverb "Cleanliness is the key to health" is also true in relation to your feathered pets. The time spent on maintaining cleanliness and order in the bird premises will pay off a hundredfold. This will help to avoid a number of diseases - intestinal, parasitic and other. It is not recommended to settle many birds in gardens and aviaries, as this leads to rapid contamination of the premises, and the resulting infectious disease spreads quickly among numerous residents. It is better to settle the birds in the rooms prepared for them in the morning, because during the day they will get used to the new housing conditions and spend the night peacefully. With a mixed content, the characters of the birds should be taken into account. Among them there are calm individuals that are used both in cages and in aviaries with other birds. But there are aggressive ones whose common content with other birds is undesirable, especially in small cages, where their aggressiveness is more pronounced. Cages are cleaned at least once a week, and when the contents are crowded - much more often. During the general collection, which is carried out at least 1-2 times a year, the birds are transplanted into another, clean cage, and the contaminated one is scalded with boiling water, rubbed with a brush or washcloth with soap or washing powder and thoroughly washed with hot water. Cages and equipment must not only be washed regularly, but also disinfected.

What preventive measures should be taken to avoid the tracheal mite?

The simpler the cages are, the easier it is to take care of them in order to avoid the appearance of parasites (primarily the tracheal mite), they must be disinfected more often - at least once a month. Before disinfection, the cage is cleaned of dust and dirt, washed with hot water or boiling water. Then all the grooves and cracks are washed with a disinfectant solution, using a brush to lubricate the cracks. The cage is allowed to dry, and then it is washed with a brush in hot soapy water. It is necessary to be careful when washing the cage and not to leave any traces of disinfectants on the plastic and metal parts.

Cat
Why is it necessary to sterilize cats and castrate cats?

This operation prevents the animal from reproducing and helps the animal live a long and healthy life. Cats are castrated, that is, the testicles are removed. Castration is a simple operation, after which the cat can be taken home the same day, and the next day he returns to his usual way of life. Cats are sterilized, that is, the ovaries are removed. This operation is more difficult because it is a cavity operation. But usually the cat can also be taken home on the day of the operation, but for 3-7 days it will be necessary to limit its activity until the wound heals and the stitches are removed. Females must be sterilized at the age of 8 to 10 months.

Do all cats love peppermint?

Many, but not all. Approximately 10-30% of domestic cats are indifferent to catnip.

Do you need to wash the cat?

Cats are very neat, constantly lick themselves, and do not need regular washing. Most cats do not like water treatments. However, they are necessary in case of severe pollution or to get rid of fleas (a special shampoo is used). To remove mild dirt, you can use a shampoo that does not require water, which is applied to the wool and then combed out with a brush.

Exhibition animals are a special case. Cats are washed a few days before the exhibition, for which there are special care series.

Another reason to wash the cat regularly – the ability to get rid of cat hair lying everywhere. If you wash your cat once every 1-2 months using professional products (shampoo, balm, conditioner), even in the apartment of the owners of long-haired cats, the amount of hair shed will noticeably decrease.

Can dry food and homemade food be mixed?

When feeding a cat with dry food, this type of digestion occurs, in which the food in the stomach absorbs moisture and swells before being digested. And with natural feeding, a different type of digestion occurs, the food does not swell, but on the contrary gives away the moisture it contains. A cat's digestive system cannot function in two modes at the same time, nor can it instantly switch from one to another. This can lead to stomach diseases and metabolic disorders. You need to think once and make an informed choice between drying and natural feeding and adhere to a certain type of nutrition. If you change as needed, then gradually.

The composition of ready-made food is selected in such a way as to provide the cat with all nutrients, trace elements and vitamins. If you add something from yourself there, the balance is disturbed. This, at a minimum, nullifies the effect of the costs of buying a balanced feed, at the most it causes an imbalance in the cat with respect to certain substances, which can have a detrimental effect on a healthy cat.

At what age should you buy a kitten?

<p>
A kitten should be bought at an age when it can do without its mother. Usually it is about 6-8 months, but if you see that he does without his mother already after 3-4 months, this period is also quite normal.</p>

The cat sharpens its claws on the furniture. How to deal with it?

To solve this problem, we recommend buying a claw. You can accustom your pet to it with the help of catnip.

How often should a cat's nails be trimmed?

Once every two weeks. Be careful! When cutting, do not touch the blood vessels running in the claws.

Is the cat overweight?

Veterinarians often use a 9-point system for determining the condition of pets, according to which a score of 1 means that the animal is on the verge of exhaustion, and 9 indicates that it is too full. A rating of 5 points means that the animal is in good condition. To determine the condition of your cat, you should pay attention to the following principles.

To start, let's feel the cat's ribs. They should feel good, while there should be a small layer of fat on them. If the cat's ribs are visible - it is too thin, if you cannot feel them - the animal is obese.

Second, check the area near the base of the tail. It should be covered with a thin layer of fat. If bones protrude, the animal is too thin, if you cannot feel them at all, it is too fat.

Third, feel other parts of the animal's body: spine, shoulders, hips. Here, too, you should feel the presence of a thin layer of fat, while if the bones protrude, the animal is underfed, if you cannot feel them at all, it is overfed.

Fourth, look at your cat from above. It should have a waist that is located behind the ribs. If the waist is too pronounced or the bones protrude - the animal is exhausted, if there is no waist at all, or this area is even wider than the ribs and hips, then the cat is overloaded.

Fifth, look at the cat from the side. Cats should have a taut stomach. In thin cats, the undertow is too pronounced, in fat cats the stomach hangs out.
