About teeth, chamomile tea and exotics.

A new interesting one has appeared on Reddit. In it, veterinarians share things everyone with a pet should know. Collected the most important:

1 … If your veterinarian says your pet needs teeth care, obey. More than once I saw poor animals, whose teeth were all in stones and could hardly stay in their jaws - and so it went on for years, and the owners said: "Well, he (a) eats, so everything is fine with teeth." -

2 … Please vaccinate your animals! And don't start them if you can't afford to be castrated or sterilized if necessary! -

3 … Obese animals are not cute. Being overweight can lead to joint problems and heart disease. Stop expressing your love only through food (especially when it comes to snacks or fast food intended for people). -

4 … Do not complain that your dog is breaking boundaries if you yourself let him take food from the plates - this is 100% your fault. -

5 … While exotic animals (reptiles, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other rodents) are easy to buy and seem easy to care for, they are not. All of them require special conditions of detention and nutrition, which must be met. In addition, not every veterinarian works with exotics, but finding the right one is necessary. I have met many people who have bought a small bird and a rodent inexpensively and refuse to take them to the clinic because it will cost more than the animal itself. -

6 … Neutering does not make cats lazy and fat. But after it, the amount of calories required for the animal decreases, so you need to either reduce the amount of food or motivate them to move more. They become less energetic with age, but will still move if you regularly take out toys. -

7 … I believe that people need to understand a little more about the process of treating animals. It is not easy, and in order to make a correct diagnosis, tests are required - but sometimes even they do not clarify the situation. Investments do not always lead to recovery. Sometimes we don't have the magic medicine to fix everything. -

8 … Don't buy a dog without learning the breed just because you like the way it looks. Husky and most shepherd dogs are working dogs. They need a lot of physical activity, otherwise they have every chance of becoming aggressive. -

9 … It's a shame that many people don't even roughly understand the body language of cats and dogs. Videos often appear on the Internet with animals that are obviously bad and / or scared, and in the description or comments everyone admires how cute he or she behaves. It is because of this that dogs bite children, and cats die, although the symptoms were visible six months ago. -

10 … You don't need to put apple cider vinegar in your eyes, ears, or mouth; go to your vet right away. Internet is helpful, but not a doctor, go to the vet right away. Eye problems can get worse in a few hours; leave chamomile tea alone and go to the vet. -
