MY EXOTIC PETS
Are you at the end of your tether (Yours not your Ferret's)? Is your ferret on its last warning?
It doesn't have to be that way. Many ill-informed people believe the ferret is a nasty, smelly animal which will pee everywhere and bite everyone. This could not be further from the truth. With the right guidance a ferret can be trained as well as any other animal, if not better.
Keep in mind that these exotic pets are still new for being pets. Not everything single thing about it are already known to people. Never try to identify or treat a sugar glider by yourself, you must get a licensed veterinarian to always be contacted for any concerns or even problems that is associated with your pet. Conversely, here are some usual issues about the sugar gliders health that could affect you cuddly pets.
The usual unfortunate saga usually goes like this (Stop me if it sounds familiar):
You go to the pet shop and see a ferret. Yes the cage whiffs a little (Don't they all), but it looks at you with those bright knowing eyes and there's a connection. It is bright, sharp and very cute, so you buy it. Things go well to start and you follow the shop advice. Keep it in a cage, but let it out for exercise and to play with toys (Which he sold you a hat full of right!). It all seems to be going great. 'Snuffle' (Not the best name but first thing that came to mind) is cute (Again), playful and when he is up and active great fun.
Constipation
Complexities about having bowel movement are another sugar glider health issue you must eye on. To prevent this from having, make sure that it has fiber, fluids in its diet and having good exercise. Sometimes, it might also be the cause of gastrointestinal dysfunction, so if you believe that there is a problem and the exercise and diet is not a factor, you should talk with you vet and have your pet check up immediately.
Also, having the sugar glider diet plan generally depends on your pets. If the pet is still hungry when morning time comes, feed it with just a small amount and a little more on the evening. Owners could also try to mix its foods so that they could enjoy it often

Organic cat food seems like a logical step. Many people are eating healthier and becoming more conscious about the content of their food. As people become more conscientious about their own food they are also starting to think about what is in their pet's food.
1. Holistic approach to cat health
You need to look at all aspects of your cat's health and not just one complaint in isolation. If your cat is stressed out, eating badly and not getting any exercise, then it is more likely to get sick. Happy, active cats with good diets are far less likely to get sick.
The next step is to get your cat to associate the bathroom with its kitty litter box. Try moving it in the bathroom and showing your cat it's new location. If she has no problem with the adjustment then great. If she does the move the box gradually closer to the bathroom. Once there have the litter box next to the toilet. Once you cat becomes accustomed to the new location of the box, the next step would be to raise its height. This can be done by placing a small supporter below the box to give it some altitude. This raising needs to be done at a very slow pace as not all cats will adjust to height; hence, it is best advised to do this at a very slow rate.
The Unhealthy Truth
Producing pet food is a money making business (as everything seems to be). Most conventional pet food manufacturers cut corners to save money and inflate profits. They use by-products and cheap fillers along with additives, many of which aren't good for cats.
I have heard and read hundreds of stories from pet parents about how they were able to overcome or reduce certain cat health problems by changing to a higher quality food. Many of the fillers cause problems in a cat's system. They can become allergic or sensitive to these cheap ingredients and when they aren't processing their food correctly or getting the nutrients they need it starts to take a toll on their immune system which eventually causes cat health problems in many cats.
4. Keep to regular dosing
When your cat is taking herbal supplements it's vital that you keep the dosing regular. It takes a little while for herbal treatments to take effect, so don't expect immediate results. Depending on the goal, it can take a few days or weeks for the benefits to be realised.
5. Don't be afraid to use the vet in case of emergencies
You cannot rely on herbal treatments for absolutely every single potential health problem that your cat might endure. There is a time for herbal treatment for cat health and there is a time for taking kitty to the vet. One does not exclude the other, so use your common sense to pick the appropriate course of action.
I hope that these hints help you get the most out of herbal treatment for cat health. It's important to ensure that you have a proactive approach to keeping kitty healthy. For example, do you have a plan for how you are going to avoid her getting fleas? What are you doing to ensure her digestive health? A healthy cat is a happy cat

For the birds
The Lovebird's health is imperative when keeping a Lovebird, making certain they stay in a fine condition. Furnishing them with a healthy diet should be the main concern in your list of Lovebird Health. They should be eating healthy foods like, Vegetables that are better cooked, for example potatoes, carrots, cucumber, mushrooms; raw fresh veg like, beans, peas, cabbage, tomato; fruits such as papaya, melons, peach, pear, banana, kiwi, apples, among others avocados are very dangerous for Lovebirds and you should take note of that in you Lovebird Health list.
Do not get inexpensive feed for your Lovebirds. This may be listed in your Lovebirds care list, inexpensive, cheap seed mix or pellets regularly do not have enough nutriments your Lovebirds need to keep them healthy, but they can also be used, if and only if you provide fresh foods for your Lovebirds. Try and give them fresh foods at least 3 to 4 times per week.
Also you may remember and add this to your Lovebird health record that they're normally vegetarian, and encouraging them to eat a meat-free diet at a tender age would be a good idea, reinforced with vegetal proteins. Adult Lovebirds that aren't used to this diet can have a difficult time coping, but this is cured by showing them that other Lovebirds eat it too, and it would be a good idea to put a mirror on the new food, as they learn by mimicry (add that to your list).
Their are lots of perils coaxing round the corner you may not know. A number of them that you may want to put in your Lovebird's care list are, blue-green algaes, chocolate, dog and cat spit, household cleaners and detergents and Teflon. When Teflon is heated and gets too hot it gives off smoke that are deadly to your Lovebirds.
It's also best to get a good vet before any bad conditions arise. You can try for suggestions, because there are vets who see few cases of bird health issues, and don't have much experience in diagnosing and treating them.
One thing more you need to put on the list for your Lovebird care is the cage. Plenty of things can become a difficulty if you do not have the right cage for your Lovebirds and the right place to put it. You must ensure the cage is of suitable size. Lovebirds like to fly around, so you should confirm it is sufficiently big enough for them to be in a position to enjoy flying. Also you need to place your Lovebirds cage in a spot where there's good daylight. Lovebirds like to get warm under the sun after showering.
Having this information about Lovebird care, you know now the how's and why's of keeping a Lovebird. Good luck

Funny Cats vs. Funny Dogs
It just doesn't seems fair. Your doggie companion has been diagnosed with canine diabetes, and now he's having trouble with his sight. Unfortunately, cataracts in dogs are extremely common in dogs with diabetes. In fact, most canine diabetics will develop cataracts within a year of being diagnosed with this disease.
Although this type of cancer can occur in any dog, it is common in middle aged to elderly dogs, especially large breeds like German Shepherd and Golden Retriever.
Canine spleen cancer symptoms
When the tumor ruptures, the spleen bleeds and internal hemorrhage occurs. Excessive blood loss may result in death. Symptoms of spleen cancer in dogs are:
- shock
- pale gums
- cold body
- weakness
- abdominal distention
- anemia
Why do Diabetic Dogs get Cataracts?
All cataracts develop in the same way, whether the pet has diabetes or not. The lens in your pet's eye is normally in a dehydrated state, compared to the rest of the body. There is a delicate balance between water and protein, which ensures that the lens remains clear.
If this balance is upset, more water is absorbed into the lens, which causes it to become cloudy and opaque. When diabetes strikes, the blood sugar levels rise all over the body. Glucose in the eyeball is absorbed into the lens. In turn, this causes the lens to absorb more water, which causes the cloudiness and vision loss in cataracts.
This can happen very quickly, even in as short a time as a few weeks. Sometimes this is the first symptom of canine diabetes that a pet owner will notice.
It may not be obvious before surgery whether the tumor is benign or malignant. If radiographs and ultrasound show spread of tumor to other organs, the tumor is malignant.
If no tumor spread is visible, the mass may or may not be benign. Where the tumor spread is too small to be seen, it may not be obvious if it is benign or malignant until the abdomen is opened.
Treatment for dog spleen tumor
For both benign and malignant tumors, the recommended treatment is splenectomy. If the cancer spread is minimal, chemotherapy following surgery may prolong the dog's life span.
Don't wait any longer. While it's still fresh on your mind, learn more about how natural remedies for dogs can protect your diabetic pet's eyes
