If you have a problem with cat diarrhoea or
dogs diarrhea, but your cat or dog seems as if he or she feels fine,
and are eating and drinking as normal, you're probably ok to care
for
the problem at home. You could try adding a bit of probiotic
yoghurt to their food if they seem to get "the runs" regularly.
If the symptoms get worse or there is no improvement within 24
hours, seek advice from your vet as your pet could soon become
dehydrated.
All pet owners know
about worms,
its very important to take care to worm cats and dogs regularly the reason
for this is that worms
carried in cats and dogs are a proven health risk, to your pet,
yourself, your family, and also other people and animals.
The signs of worms include
Constantly Hungry
Cat or hungry dog, weight loss,
dull coat, low energy level, diarrhoea, vomiting, loss of appetite,
pot-belly, coughing. Treating worms is usually by
administering worm tablets.

Ear
infections symptoms are not comfortable for your pet. Your cat
or dog or will show discomfort by scratching his ears and shaking
his head. If this becomes persistent, then it is important to have
your pet examined by your vet, as ear infections in dogs have many
different causes.
Watch for heatstroke symptoms in your cat
or dog: panting (or suddenly not
panting), salivating, vomiting, reddened gums and tongue, anxiety,
weakness, racing heartbeat, and collapse. Immediately move any pet with
heatstroke symptoms to a cooler spot, and
slowly reduce the animal's temperature by placing its body (not
head) in cool water wrapping the pet in cool, wet towels. Then take
it to a vet, for any more advice of any other care that is needed.
Dogs and cats living together
You need to train your dog and cat to live together in harmony if
you've just introduced a new pet into the home, this task can be
difficult, but it is possible. To start with you need to get the
animals to spend time in the same room together, with the dog under
control on a collar and lead, the more time they spend together, the more
tolerant they will become of each other.
Although if you are bringing a new cat into home with a dog that has
always shown aggression to cats, then you are in for a very
difficult time, at best, this type of dog
character, will probably, at
the very least, give the cat a hard time, so in this
scenario, its probably best, not to force the two together. A new
puppy and new kitten have the best chance of tolerance, which may
even develop into affection for each other.
Care for your pets grooming. Don't neglect pet grooming in
the winter. While a regular bath is unwise, brushing and even "dry"
bathing will keep your pet's coat clean and healthy, and reduce
odour. Short hair helps your pet
stay cool, but don't shave off all of his hair. A pet's coat will
protect against the sun. You will find all your grooming pet
supplies at your local pet shop or pet shop website.
By taking care of some basic precautions and paying
attention to their needs, pet owners can help their cats and dogs
make it through the winter in good health. Care for your pet by
giving more food during cold weather than you do during hot summer
months.
Care for your pets dental health. Have teeth cleaned
professionally whenever your vet advises it.
It's good advice, to not
overfeed your dog or cat. Obesity will create health problems and
shorten their life.
