Sexual activity in domestic animals
In spring, nature calls the whole animal kingdom to procreation, and it's not surprising when our pets behave not quite normally. The increase in air temperature and the increase in daylight hours lead to increased sexual activity, this is manifested in cats and cats.
The cat's utter cries do not give rest to either their neighbors or their masters. During this period, the animal begins to mark the territory, does it involuntarily, and there is no sense in punishing or scolding it. The animal becomes very active, and some of them show aggression to both masters and relatives.
I call the love of dogs. Especially dangerous are stray animals, and during "dog weddings" they become very aggressive and can even attack people. How to help our pets? To relieve anxiety of animals during the season of sexual hunting in dogs and cats, it is possible to give hormonal preparations in injections or sedatives, but they act temporarily.
It is better to give preference to soothing herbal preparations, such as ("Fitex", "Cat Bajun"), because the use of hormones can lead to various side effects, such as inflammation of the internal organs and tumors. If you do not plan to get offspring from your pets, then in this case, castration is the best choice. Castration of males and cats is done from 6 months of age, castration of bitches or cats - from 10-12 months. The young animal tolerates the operation more easily, and thus the risk of certain diseases is reduced, so it is better not to delay the operation.
Vaccinations for pets
In spring, it's time to get vaccinated with animals, because different viruses are activated at this time. Very important vaccination against rabies. This disease is many centuries old, and it is not always possible to save an infected person. Knowing that this virus is dangerous for humans, the owner must necessarily be reinsured and make his pet vaccinate against rabies.
The main source of infection is wild animals, as well as rats and mice, in nature this virus lives constantly. And who can guarantee that when you are walking with your pets in the spring, you will not meet with an infected rodent? If you notice that saliva flows from the mouth of your animal, its pupils are dilated, it behaves aggressively, or hides in a corner, then show it to the veterinarian and try to behave with this animal carefully.
In addition to rabies, there are also such infections: fungal, bacterial and viral. The owner himself with dirty shoes can bring them to the house - and then to fall ill, the pet can and does not leave the boundaries of his apartment.
Animals are vaccinated regardless of the season, vaccinations are done at 2 or 3 months old, then 1 year, and then repeated every year. Currently, complex vaccines are used against the main diseases, which usually affect pets. Before vaccinations, the animal must be cured of parasites, as they reduce immunity. Depending on the weight of the animal, they are given preparations from worms.
Consequences of avitaminosis and molting
The coat of domestic animals varies depending on the season, age. Many moults increase in molt in autumn and spring, but when it becomes pathological, that is, the hair comes off in shreds, unevenly, it is worth paying attention to sufficient intake of vitamins for animals and food. Avitaminosis greatly affects the health of a four-legged friend and its appearance.
If everything is normal, the moult will pass unnoticed, but with vitamin and mineral insufficiency, there may be a delay in molting, and then the wool crawls out. When there is a lack of vitamins in the diet, this is reflected primarily in the wool, it becomes dull. Poorly maintained, "poured", digestion is disturbed, cracks appear in the corners of the mouth, the skin becomes dry. In order to prevent such trouble, in order to prevent it, you need to introduce minerals and vitamins into the diet. In special stores you can buy complex products.
In occasion of feeding, if you feed the animal with natural products, then it is necessary to introduce vitamin preparations into the diet. Vitamins are given within one month, and then a break is made in two weeks. If you feed the animal with industrial feeds, and thus nothing disturbs it, then you do not need to give it extra vitamins.
Do not forget that the coat of your four-legged friend should be watched, combed with special devices - for example, use a special brush-glove or a frequent comb. Do it carefully, because the wool can be very confused, and then the process of combing will be unpleasant. To this procedure you need to accustom your pet from childhood: dogs in this sense are more accommodating, but not all cats love when combing their fur coat.
Now you know how you can take care of the spring for pets. Listen to the advice and remember, each animal in its own way is individual, so you do not have to let go of its problems, they better not decide on your own, and as far as possible try to show your animals to a specialist. As the famous Antoine de Saint-Exupery said: "We are responsible for those who have tamed! "- and, of course, he was right.
