Costumer say (Z. Cheema "ycheema):
everyone who enters my apt just ooohs and aaah over this aquarium. It comes with everything--except the fish of course :) But it will arrive with gem like glass pieces for gravel and an artifical plant.
It holds 3.7 liters of water so its plenty room for my beta to swim around. I hate when people put betas in small containers ---very cruel.
This is my second one and everyone just loves it.
shipping was super duper fast!!!

Types of Goldfish

· 0 comments

Comet
Family: Cyprinidae


The Comet is an omnivourus goldfish species.It is very docile and is often fed vegetable/growth/coulor mixtures.Comets can grow to be up to 30 inches long!The Comet is very daring and active, so it must be at least be kept in a 10 gallon aquarium.Comets can live up to 37 years!It's colors are orange, sarasa(red on white), black on orange, and red cap.Comets have a slim, long body and an exeptionally long, forked tail fin.
The Comet Goldfish, also called the Comet-tail Goldfish, are a 'reddish orange' colored goldfish that are inexpensive and readily available. This fish was the first variety of the single-tail goldfish to be developed with a long caudal (tail) fin. It was developed in the United States from the Common Goldfish in the early 19th century, presumably by Hugo Mullert of Philadelphia who then introduced them in quantity into the market. Though they are a bit smaller goldfish than the Common Goldfish, they are every bit as durable and can be kept in either an aquarium or in an outdoor pond.

These fish can be quite personable and are delightful to watch. One of the hardiest of the gold fish varieties, the Comet Goldfish are recommended for beginners. They are an easy fish to keep as they are not picky and will readily eat what is offered. These are some of the most graceful of the elongated goldfish, emphasized by their long tail. They are active, rapid swimmers and will sometimes tend to leap out of the water, so having a lid on an aquarium is good idea. They are also very social and thrive well in a community.

The Comet Goldfish is very similar to, and sometimes confused with, the Common Goldfish. The Comet Goldfish is a further development of the Common Goldfish. Both these fish have an almost identical body shape but the fins on the Comet are much longer, especially the caudal (tail) fin, and it is more deeply forked. Also, the Comet is generally a more reddish orange while the Common Goldfish is more orangish. The adult size of the Comet Goldfish is smaller too. On both these fish the caudal (tail) fin is held fully erect.

Comet Goldfish, often called the Pond Comet, are primarily a reddish orange color, but they are also available in yellow, orange, white, and red. There is also a bi-color red/white combination and occasionally they are available with nacreous (pearly) scales, giving them a variegated color.

Other types of Comet include the Sarasa Comet. This variety has long flowing fins and is characterized by a red-and-white coloration that holds a resemblance to a koi color pattern called 'Kohaku'. The Tancho Single-tail Comet is a silver colored variety with a red patch on its head.

Black Moor
Family: Cyprinidae

The Black Moor is an omnivourus goldfish species.It is very docile and is often fed vegetable/growth/protein mixtures.Black Moores can grow to be up to 7 inches long, and 2 inches deep!The Black Moore is a very playful schooling fish, and must be kept with another goldfish to be comfortable.Black Moores can live up to be 17 years old!It's color is solid black.Black Moores have short, round stomachs, a forked tail fin, and 2 bulging eyes from the side of it's head.Black Moores are my personal favorite goldfish, that is why I call myself "Blackmoore": )

Rather than having the long slender body of the Common Goldfish or the Shubunkins, The Black Moor Goldfish is one of the more rounded or egg-shaped fancy gold fish. The rounded body shape of this beautiful goldfish is enhanced by large bulbous eyes protruding out on the sides of its head, metallic scales that give it a deep velvety black color, and long flowing finnage. Their hardiness and ability to live in cold temperatures makes them ideal pets.They are very popular gold fish and are found in collectors tanks throughout the world.

The Black Moor is basically a black version of the Telescope Goldfish though its eyes don't protrude quite as far. These eyes have given rise to some descriptive names for this fish, such as the Dragon Eye Goldfish and Black Peony Goldfish. Juveniles are a dark bronze and without the protruding eyes, but as they mature they become black and their eyes begin to telescope. Most Black Moors stay black but their color can change with age, ranging from gray to black, or they can revert to a metallic orange when kept in warmer water. Though they once were available with a beautiful veil-tail, the specimens available today will have either a broad tail, ribbon tail, or butterfly tail.

Black Moor Goldfish along with two other egg-shaped goldfish, the Fantail Goldfish and the Ryukin Goldfish, are recommended for the beginner, but unlike the Fantail and the Ryukin, the Black Moor must not be kept with highly competitive tank mates. These three varieties of goldfish along with the Common Goldfish, Comet Goldfish, the Shubunkin, are all considered good beginner goldfish. This is because they are hardy and can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing, as long as the cooling drops only a few degrees a day.

For most of these goldfish, their hardiness and ability to live at colder temperatures makes them ideal for outdoor ponds as well. The Black Moor is the only possible exception to this, not because it lacks hardiness but because of its telescopic eyes. Its eyes cause it to have poor vision so it is not a good competitor for food, and they are subject to injury and infection. None of these hardy fish are really good companions for the Black Moor because they are all too competitive during feeding time.

Tempature:65*F.-85*F.

p.H.: 7.0-8.0

Ryukin
Carassius auratus auratus

The Ryukin Goldfish are considered a Japanese version of the Fantail Goldfish. They were developed in from the common Fantail Goldfish and like their Fantail counterpart, they are one of the more rounded or egg-shaped fancy gold fish. The Ryukin Goldfish differs from the Fantail in that they have an extremely high back, often described as a dorsal hump, that starts in the neck region giving them a more pointed appearance to the head, and they have a wider caudal fin than the Fantail. Like all the goldfish with this rounded body they can be susceptible to swim bladder problems.

The beautiful Ryukin goldfish is available in red, red and white, tri-color, calico, white, and chocolate. The distinguishing feature common to both the Ryukin Goldfish and the Fantail Goldfish are their split or double caudal (tail) fin. A long-tailed version of this fish has also been developed and is called the Fringe-tail or Ribbon-tail Ryukin.

Both Fantail Goldfish and Ryukin Goldfish are recommended for the beginner. Other good beginner fancy goldfish are Common Goldfish, Comet Goldfish, the Shubunkin, and the Black Moor. These fish can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing, as long as the cooling drops only a few degrees a day. Their hardiness and ability to live at colder temperatures makes them ideal for outdoor ponds. The Black Moor is the only possible exception to this, not because it lacks hardiness but because of its telescopic eyes. These eyes cause it to have poor vision so it is not a good competitor for food, and they are subect to injury and infection.
The Ryukin is an omnivourus goldfish species.It is very docile and is often fed vegetable/growth/coulor/protein mixtures.Ryukins can grow to be up to 6 inches long, and 1 1/2 inches deep!The Ryukin loves to explore, so you should have a few plants(plastic or real) in your tank.Ryukins can live up to be 15 years old!It's colors are calico, red and white, white, and orange.Ryukins have a short, round body, and a high humped back

Tempature: 70*F.-80*F.

Fantail

The Fantail is an omnivourus goldfish species.It is very docile and is often fed vegetable/growth/coulor/protein mixtures.Fantails can grow to be up to 8 inches long, and 2 inches deep!Fantails have large tails, so some care is required to prevent them from ripping or tearing, but other than that, the Fantail is a great beginners level fish.Fantails can live up to be 20 years old!It's colors are orange, black on orange, and white and orange.Fantails have a round body with a split tail fin 1/2 as long as it's body.

Rather than having the long slender body of the Common Goldfish or the Shubunkins, the Fantail Goldfish is one of the more rounded or egg-shaped fancy gold fish. These fish are bred for showing and its main feature, the split tail fin is medium in length and slightly forked. To be a good show specimen, the tail fin needs to be completely split with the two lobes being much closer together on top than on the bottom, making it look triangular when viewed from the back. Good show specimens also have a double anal fin with complete separation. Those whose tail fins are not completely split won't win any prizes, but still make great pets.

Fantail Goldfish are available in several scale types or color. The hardiest and most competitive show type is metallic, a solid reddish orange. Other scale types include nacreous which is speckled, and matt which is a whitish color. The Ryukin Goldfish is a Japanese version of the Fantail, with a highly curved back and a wider caudal fin than the Fantail Goldfish.

Both Fantail Goldfish and Ryukin Goldfish are recommended for the beginner. Other good beginner fancy goldfish are Common Goldfish, Comet Goldfish, the Shubunkin, and the Black Moor. These fish can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing, as long as the cooling drops only a few degrees a day. Their hardiness and ability to live at colder temperatures makes them ideal for outdoor ponds. The Black Moor is the only possible exception to this, not because it lacks hardiness but because of its telescopic eyes. These eyes cause it to have poor vision so it is not a good competitor for food, and they are subect to injury and infection.

Lionhead
Family: Cyprinidae

The Lionhead Goldfish is by far the most popular and well known of the dorsal less goldfish. Rather than having the long slender body of the Common Goldfish or the Shubunkins, the Lionhead Goldfish is one of the more rounded or egg-shaped fancy gold fish. They have a double caudal (tail) fin and a double anal fin. This goldfish variety is very similar to the Ranchu Goldfish that was highly developed Japan.The Lionhead can be distinguished by a less curved countour shape to its back. Also, its caudal fin is quite similar to that of the Fantail Goldfish, while the Ranchu has a tail fin that splays out to the sides, often being almost horizontal.

The distinctive raspberry or lion's mane appearance of this fish have led to its common name 'Lionhead' Goldfish. The amount of head growth differs for each fish. For some the broad head, except for its eyes, mouth and nostrils, can become completely covered with fleshy growth (sometimes impeding their vision) while others will develop hardly any head growth at all.
Picture of a Lionhead Goldfish, Carassius auratus

These goldfish are available in a variety of colors. The solid metallic types include red, orange, chocolate, blue, and black. The nacreous types can be calico, bi-colored combinations of red and white or red and black, or tri-colored combinations in red, white, and black. There is also a red-capped variety with a bright red head and white body. Though pretty rare, there is also a long finned variety.

The Lionhead Goldfish is considered a rather delicate fish and is not recommended for beginners. Its swimming ability is cumbersome because of its rounded body which is further diminished by the lack of a stabilizing dorsal fin, a trait that is also seen in the Water-Bubble Eye Goldfish and the Celestial Eye Goldfish. Many of the elongated goldfish varieties like the Common Goldfish, Comet Goldfish, the Shubunkin, are not really good companions for the Lionhead Goldfish because they are fast swimmers and too competitive during feeding time. Better tank mates would be the similarly handicapped but less hardy Water-Bubble Eye Goldfish, Telescope Goldfish, and Celestial Goldfish. It won't win any races, but if kept with other slow-moving varieties the Lionhead Goldfish should get plenty to eat and do well.

The Lionhead is an omnivourus goldfish species.It is very docile and is often fed vegetable/growth/coulor/protein mixtures.Lionheads can grow to be up to 5 inches long, and 2 inches deep!Lionheads are very poor swimmers, so they must be kept with other disabled fish like Ranchus, celestials, and bubble eyes.Lionheads can live up to be 15 years old!It's colors are black, midnight blue, calico, blue, and lemon.Lionheads have a short, round body, a fleshy wen(headgrowth), and a small, split tail fin.Lionheads do not have dorsal fin.

Goldfish Care Basics

· 0 comments


Common and fancy goldfish are Asian Carp, Carassius auratus. They Telescope Goldfish have been bred in the Orient for over a thousand years, and in Europe for over a hundred years to provide all of the colors and shapes available to hobbyists today.

Goldfish are a temperate fish found in cool streams, lakes, and ponds throughout Asia and part of eastern Europe, though all the Veil Tail Goldfish specimens found in the hobby today are captive bred. Goldfish can be easy to care for, however, they do require some care. Given proper care and a good, healthy environment, goldfish can sometimes live nearly 50 years!
Goldfish Equipment & Maintenance:

To keep a goldfish healthy, remember to provide them with plenty of clean, cool water.

Your goldfish's temperature should never rise above 74° Fahrenheit (about 23.5° Celsius), and ideally should remain between 65° and 68° F (18° and 20° C) so you will need a thermometer. Keeping a goldfish above 72° F (about 22.5° C) for Bubble Eye Goldfish long periods of time will result in Oxygen deprivation, which can cause nerve damage, heart damage, and can seriously hamper the immune system, making them more susceptible to many diseases, from easily treatable Ick to nearly untreatable swim bladder infections.

Keep your goldfish in a fish tank no smaller than a 10 gallon (about 38 liter), and make sure that a minimum of 6 gallons (23 liters) of the space in that fish tank is dedicated to each goldfish (each goldfish should have 6-8 gallons or more (roughly 23-30 liters or more) space in the goldfish aquarium). A 10 gallon fish tank is really only suitable for one goldfish.

This will provide sufficient space for your goldfish, so he can remain healthy, and this will allow the aquarium to help you keep healthy goldfish.

Goldfish should never be kept in a fish bowl.

Perform your weekly 10-15% water changes, so that your goldfish always has clean water and so that any waste that is not processed by the aquarium filter is removed.

Your goldfish will need a filter to keep the water from becoming toxic, and you will need to keep the filter in Ryukin Goldfish good condition. When selecting a filter, if you have fancy goldfish, make sure that the filter will not produce excessive current in your fish tank, and this will make it difficult for the fancy goldfish to swim.
Goldfish Food & Care:

Remember that your goldfish is an omnivorous (eats anything) scavenger, so provide him with a varied and high carbohydrate diet. Many goldfish foods are available on the market today, and most frozen fish foods are also appropriate, provided you do not feed meaty foods too often.

Goldfish have large appetites, but they also graze for food constantly. Don't let their 'mock hunger' and grousing around for food fool you into over feeding them. Your fish should be able to consume all the food you offer within two minutes of feeding. If there is food in the aquarium after this time has elapsed, this will contribute to poor water quality and make your goldfish more susceptible to disease.

You will only need to feed your goldfish once a day. If you feed more than once a day you will increase the waste your fish is producing and will also increase the risk of over feeding, so it becomes more important that you are performing your weekly 10-15% water changes and all necessary filter maintenance. Providing a proper diet will increase your goldfish's life expectancy and bolster their immune system.
Oranda Goldfish

Goldfish, like almost any fish, are aware that they are prey animals. In order to feel comfortable, they need to have lots of hiding places. Goldfish do not seem to be too particular about their cover, however, you do want to make sure that you do not use any sharp or rough decorations that your goldfish may get hurt on, especially if you are keeping any fancy goldfish that have impaired vision.

Like most other fish, they are more comfortable and will come out more and be more active if you can provide them with 50-75% cover - this means you should make half to three fourths of your tank space hiding places. Providing sufficient cover will reduce stress and therefore improve your goldfish's immune system, reducing chance of disease.
Goldfish Companionship:

Goldfish can, like most fish, be kept with fish with similar care requirements and temperament. However, this very quickly limits you Fantail Goldfish to other goldfish - fortunately, there are many different and interesting fancy goldfish to choose from.

When looking for a companion for your goldfish, remember to select goldfish with similar handicaps. If their disabilities are too different, it is very likely that some will out compete the others for food, and you can have a goldfish starve to death while another gets fat right before your eyes in your fish tank.
Finally:

Remember, goldfish are beautiful living creatures. It is the responsibility of the pet owner to care for their pet and provide a healthy environment. So give your goldfish space, clean, cool water, plenty of hiding places, and high-quality, high-carbohydrate foods and he should be a good companion for a long time.

Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain

pet supplies

The New Drinkwell Platinum improves on the widely-popular Original Drinkwell Pet Fountain, and adds many new features. Like the original, the circulating water attracts pets, encouraging them to drink more water, which in turn reduces the risk of diseases like urinary tract infections and kidney disease. It has a falling stream, like the original, but this design reduces "braiding", which in turn keeps the stream from splashing outside of the bowl while still providing the benefits of aeration. The new spout is 8" from the floor, providing easier access for those pets that want to drink straight from the stream. The new pre-filter keeps debris like hair and food particles from entering the chamber where the pump pushes water back up into the tower.

his reduces cleaning maintenance, and wear and tear on the pump. The new 3-Layer Filter now removes impurities even better than the original. The new design is even more kind to sketchy cats - the new flow control will not startle them and the new pump is even quieter than the original - some would say nearly silent. The new design also incorporates a built-in reservoir putting the capacity at over 1 gallon, which makes refills less frequent, and giving owners with multiple or large pets relief from frequent refills. And, best of all, the entire unit (including the reservoir) is now dishwasher safe, so you don't have to worry about melting down parts when cleaning like the original version. The Drinkwell Fountain is designed, approved, and recommended by veterinarians, particularly for pets prone to urinary tract disorders. This fountain will save trips to the vet by giving your pet this innovative constant access to running water.

Dremel 761-03 7,000/14,000 RPM Cordless Pet Nail Grooming Rotary Tool

· 0 comments

pet supplies

It’s a rare human who actually enjoys clipping a dog’s nails; and rarer still, the dog who enjoys it. Enter Dremel’s cordless groomer, a quiet, battery-powered rotary tool that gently grinds down your pet’s nails without cutting.

We happen to know a particular hound named Sophie who’s endured more than her share of cracked nails and bleeding nail beds, the result of the standard guillotine-type nail trimmers. Though she was a bit wary of the Dremel, she sniffed at it and decided it was harmless. Then we set it on the floor and turned it on.

View Products Details

Sophie seemed concerned for a minute, but then lost interest. We let her get used to the sound of the Dremel for a few minutes, then got down to business. We expected her to cringe and pull away when we took paw in hand, for what usually follows is not pleasant for her. She submitted reluctantly at first to the Dremel, probably expecting the worst, but once we distracted her with a piece of rawhide, she forgot about the nail hubbub and let us carry on.

The whole thing was quick and painless, which made a change for Sophie, and was actually kind of soothing for the humans, which definitely made a change for us.

We followed the advice in the manual and alternated between two paws at a time, not keeping the abrasive on any nail for more than a couple of seconds, and we made sure each nail was cool before grinding it a second time.

If we had a criticism, it would be to wish only that Dremel would include the ½-inch drum for larger dogs like Sophie as well as the smaller one. Other than that, it’s a tail-wagger.

Petmate 24860 Deluxe Fresh Flow 50-Ounce-Capacity Pet Fountain, Medium, White

· 0 comments

pet supplies

Ideal for multiple-cat households or small dogs, this ultra-quiet purifying pet fountain provides a gently flowing stream of naturally cool and oxygenated water. The unit's translucent 50-ounce reservoir automatically adds water to the drinking bowl as needed, and its replaceable charcoal filter helps remove contaminates and odors. The filter should be replaced every 60 to 90 days for use by one animal; multiple animal homes will require more frequent replacement. Other highlights include a silent-running submersible pump, a flow-control lever, and a ramp that reduces splashing and quiets running water. The pet fountain comes equipped with non-skid rubber feet to help keep the unit in place, and its bowl, reservoir, and all other plastic parts should be cleaned by hand with mild dish soap. The medium-size pet fountain assembles easily and measures 13-1/2 by 9 by 7 inches.

Unique, innovative silent design does not scare pet when drinking from bowl or ramp. Natural water flowing is all pets hear. Filters food crumbs and dirt automatically, while flowing water inhibits growth of bacteria, oxygenates water as water flows from ramp to bowl. Small bubbles are created to oxygenate water and keeps water and bowl clean. Continuous circulation of water gives pet cooler and fresher water to drink. The filter is easy to access and change. Fifty ounce capacity provides ample water capacity for cats, small dogs and small animals. Flow control lever regulates the flow and circulation of water. Leak resistant valve prevents spills when refilling.

Dog barking tips

· 0 comments

Many an exhausted "pet parent" has experienced a young puppy barking in his crate. This is very common... your sweet little pup is in new surroundings, with new people, and may not be accustomed to being alone. "Puppy barking in crate" is often quoted as one reason why a pet owner looks so darned tired!

Puppy training takes time. Your squiggly, wiggly, bundle of canine energy needs to be taught what you expect of him. Here a few tips and suggestions to help you conquer the barking:

a. First of all, make sure puppy isn't causing a ruckus because he needs to go out for a potty break.

b. Place a clock on top of the crate. The ticking sound may remind your puppy of a heartbeat and he'll feel less lonely.

c. Place a stuffed animal in the crate - but be careful, since puppies like to chew and you wouldn't want him to ingest anything inappropriate! Better yet, place a recently worn clothing item in his crate... your smell may help to comfort him so that he'll settle down and sleep.

d. Move the crate into your bedroom. If puppy can see and smell you, he just might fall fast asleep (and let you do the same).

e. Loosely cover the crate with a blanket (make sure your pup can still get air!). This helps some puppies feel "protected" so that they calm down and sleep.

f. Exercise! Take puppy out into the backyard for some playtime before bed. Try to tire him out! It may help him sleep... if not through the entire night, then at least a little longer so that you can snooze too.

g. Take the opportunity to teach your pup the "quiet" command. Don't try this if you're feeling tired or cranky - training should be a positive experience for both of you.

Your puppy's crate is supposed to be a "safe" place for him, a quiet place he can go -- it should not be used as punishment or as his regular living space.

Dogs learn when they are rewarded for their behavior. Resist the temptation to coo, pet, or attempt to sooth a noisily yapping pup in his crate, as this can reinforce the behavior. Take your time and work with your puppy... and soon the "puppy barking in crate" issue will only be a (fondly-remembered?) memory.

Product Features

a. Kills flea eggs & flea larvae & prevents all stages from developing
b. Also kills adult fleas & all stages of major species of ticks



View Products Details

Designed for dogs and puppies eight weeks or older and weighing 23 to 44 pounds, this topical flea treatment provides long-lasting, effective control against fleas, ticks, and chewing lice. Its active ingredient fipronil (kills newly acquired adult fleas) has been combined with the trusted insect growth regulator (S)-methoprene, which kills flea eggs, larvae, and prevents pupae development. Effectively targeting all stages of fleas, the fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles, and continues to be released from hair follicles onto the skin and coat, resulting in long-lasting activity against fleas and all stages of four major ticks, including the one that may carry Lyme disease. Research demonstrates that a monthly treatment of Frontline Plus kills adult fleas, flea eggs, and flea larvae for up to three months and kills ticks for at least one month. Easy to use, simply apply contents of the applicator through the animal's fur to the skin level between the shoulder blades. Frontline Plus remains effective even after bathing, water immersion, or exposure to sunlight, without the need for re-application. Achieve maximum protection with monthly applications, all year round, but be sure not to apply twice within 30 days. Each packet includes six topical applications for six months of protection.

Dog Eye Problem

· 0 comments

Any type of canine can experience dog eye problems, ranging from mild conditions that generally do not affect the quality of the dog's life, to severe conditions that are medical emergencies. Brachycephalic breeds - that's dogs with "snub" noses, like the Pekingese, Pug, Boston Terrier, Bulldog, or Boxer - tend to be prone to dog eye problems because their eyes are more prominent, protruding slightly.

Below is a brief summary of several eye conditions. However, do not attempt to diagnose your dog yourself - please bring him to the vet for consultation if you notice an eye problem.

1. Glaucoma is an increase in eye pressure, and is a medical emergency because it can result in blindness and the loss of the eye. Some symptoms can include pain (the dog may rub his eye against objects, or rub it with his paw); one eye may protrude more than the other; dilated pupil (either the pupil reacts very slowly to changes in light, or one pupil is larger than the other); squinting or excessive blinking; or a bad case of "bloodshot eyes".

Consult a vet immediately if you notice any of these warning signs. Do not wait even a day - go immediately! Your dog's vision depends on immediate action.

2. Cherry eyes is a condition in which the gland located in the dog's third eyelid (normally not visible) falls out of its normal position and swells. Cherry eyes are noticeable as a red swelling in the corner of the eye. Consult with your vet to see whether surgical correction is required.

3. Inward-growing eyelashes is when small eyelashes grow on the very edge of the eyelids, irritating the cornea. You may notice your dog's eye become inflamed or even develop a discharge. Your dog may also rub or paw at it, or squint. This condition should be treated to prevent it from worsening and to improve the pet's quality of life. Untreated, it can lead to infections and possibly even blindness.

4. Tear stains are very common and do not bother the dog. This cosmetic issue is characterized by brown stains on the fur underneath the corners of each eye. Regularly wipe this area clean to prevent it from getting matted or irritated.

5. Cataracts are the "cloudiness" inside your dog's eye, which results in reduced vision. Cataracts can be inherited or they may develop over a period of time. They can't be "cured", but can be surgically removed.

On the other hand, Nuclear Sclerosis is an eye condition often mistaken for cataracts. Older dogs develop a hardening of the eye lens that results in a greyish-looking appearance. This does not affect the dog's vision.

Your vet may refer you to a veterinary ophthalmologist in more severe cases that require a specialist's opinion. Don't be afraid to questions about treatments or surgeries.

How Do You Know if Your Pet is Sick?

· 0 comments

Prevention is the medicine. Have your pet fully vaccinated every year; supervise your pet; and provide your pet with a proper diet and adequate exercise.

Even with all of the above, your pet may still get sick. While it can be difficult to know when to call the vet, here are a few guidelines in recognizing a sick pet:

1. Diarrhea.
2. Unexplained or sudden weight loss.
3. Significant loss of appetite or increased appetite.
4. Vomiting.
5. Pawing at ears or shaking head.
6. Lumps on body.
7. Significant fur loss (not just shedding, which is normal); dull, patchy coat.
8. Persistent sneezing or coughing.
9. Abnormal discharge from the eyes or nose.
10. Stiffness or weakness in any joints; pet moves with difficulty.
11. Straining to urinate or defecate. Inability to urinate is an emergency - get your cat to the vet immediately.
12. Injury.

Note: Keep the name and number of the closest emergency vet clinic (for after-hours pet care), as well as those of your regular vet, close by the telephone.
