If you have a diabetic dog, life is probably a bit more complicated for you and your pet than it used to be. Canine diabetes can be a challenging condition to manage, but it can be done. Here are some tips to make life easier for both of you.
Is Exercise A Good Idea For Dogs With Diabetes?
Yes, it is, but you do need to be careful. Too much exercise can cause your pet’s blood sugar levels to drop to dangerously low levels. It’s always a good idea to keep a little Karo syrup with you so you can rub it on your pet’s gums if he starts showing signs of hypoglycemia.
It’s essential to be establish a consistent routine for exercise. You’ll need to commit to exercising him every day at about the same time, for about the same amount of time each day. Avoid having him out running around at top speed for a half hour once or twice a week, and then sitting around the rest of the time. Continue reading 'Tips For Living With Your Diabetic Dog'»

pet’s breed: English Bulldog
pet’s age: 11 Months
pet’s sex: Male
previous treatment:
Has all his shots. Has never had any serious issues, witht he exception of
weight, but I am working on that. I recently purchased some tear stain remover
substance to add to his diet to help him with his tear stains.
QUESTION:
My English Bulldog has swollen eyes (one more than the other) also the area
around his eyes seen to be very tender, almost raw. I have cleaned them with
Hydrogen Peroxide, and thought it would fade away, but it is idle. Now it
seems
he has a mild fever and he wants to sleep all day (which isnt different from his
natural routine) Is the anything I can do? I dont have the funds on hand to get
him to a vet, and petsmart has a bandfield hospital, but they’re pet
wellness days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, I really dont want to have to wait
until then to act on his condition. I have ceased from dispensing him any more
of that tear stain remover in hopes that his condition will improve. Please
help!!

infection? He licks this paw often.
ANSWER
Gestation for hamsters is about 16 days for Syrian hamsters and about 18 days for dwarf hamsters. But unless you were present during the mating and know the exact day that it occurred, you may not know for sure when your female got pregnant. Often, it is not obvious until a few days before she is ready to give birth.
But if you suspect that your female hamster is pregnant, leave her alone and do not handle her. It is not a good time to be picking her up, petting her or trying to play with her. She will be uncomfortable and protective, and may bite as a result. You also risk injuring her or the babies, especially if she is resistant to being picked up and tries to get away or jump out of your hand.
As a matter of fact, one of the signs that she may be pregnant is if her behavior changes and she resists being picked up and handled. She may also become aggressive toward her mate, so it is important to keep them separated.
So instead of handling her, nurture her and the babies by providing good nutrition and a safe, healthy environment while she is pregnant. This is a good time to make sure she gets plenty of fresh water and fresh veggies and fruit, and healthy protein like fresh cooked meat, hard boiled eggs or tofu.
