Canine Distemper Virus: Quick Fact Sheet

Canine Distemper Virus or CDV is a highly contagious and dangerous viral disease that can affect your dog.

How is Canine Distemper Virus Transmitted?
This virus can be transferred to another dog through urine or feces of an infected dog. But this virus is airborne which means the viral particles can be breathed in by your pet.

Symptoms of Canine Distemper Virus
On the early stage of the canine distemper, the dog will have high fever. Along with this fever, reddened eye and discharge from the nose and eyes are also present.

An infected dog will be usually tired and lethargic. This will make your dog lose appetite. The dog may also have continuous cough and diarrhea. Later on the virus will attack the nervous system of the dog. This will result into seizures, fits, paralysis and hysteria attacks.

A certain strain of this virus may cause thickening of the feet of the dog or unusual enlargement.

Diagnosis and Giving Care
To diagnose a dog with distemper is difficult. This is because there is no specific test that will tell if the dog is having distemper or not. What the veterinarian may do is still conduct some tests that will confirm the diagnosis.

If your dog has canine distemper, the best thing to provide is supportive care. This means that your dog will need IV fluids, anti-seizure, anti-diarrhea, anti-vomiting medications. Antibiotics may also be given for secondary bacterial infections.

Dogs with canine distemper should be isolated from other dogs. And should remain separated at least two weeks after they have ceased showing clinical signs of distemper.

Prevention of Canine Distemper Virus
As the actual cause of the distemper virus is not determined, it is observed that it can be prevented when your dog is vaccinated. It is recommended that a distemper shot be given to a puppy starting at 6 to 8 weeks old. A series of shots should be given every 4 weeks after until the puppy is 20 weeks old.

How To Choose The Best Cat Food For Your Fur Baby (Without Over Spending!)

As a pet mom to your fur baby kitty, you only want the best for her.  Definitely!

You want her to have a loving home and experience the best care.  More importantly, you want her feel loved, feel good, and have the best nutrition.

After all, she is your one and only fur baby.

Does your cat have smelly breath? Read more about cat dental problems here.

Having her is the best thing that happened in your life.  You look forward to the daily cuddles, baby smiles, and cute meows.  Cellphone is always up and ready to snap a shot of every growth spurt of your beloved kitty.

You look forward to sitting and hugging her at the end of the day.

She is the center of your world.

That describes your weekday routine.

Now comes the weekend.  One weekend, you went shopping for the best cat food for your fur baby.

As you scan the aisle of cat foods, you see several cat food from well-known brands to unknown brands.  As you shy away from these lesser-known brands, you begin to question if those high-priced brands of cat food really deliver their promise?

As you read the labels of these pricey cat food packages, the practical side of you is still reluctant to put the cat food in your basket and open your wallet at the cashier.

So, how do you choose the best cat food for your cat?

Here are 3 factors that you should consider to make sure you are giving the best cat food to your fur baby:

  1. How old is your cat?

Do you have a kitten, pregnant, or ageing cat?  Bear in mind that they have very different nutritional needs depending on their age or life stage. The cat food that you give should be adapted to the key moments in cats’ lives.

  1. What is the lifestyle of your cat?

A cat’s nutritional needs vary considerably on whether she lives exclusively indoors or also has access outside.  A more active cat would have different nutritional needs over a sedentary cat.

  1. Is your cat sterilized?

Sterilization is also considered as a factor.

Sterilization can have a tendency to increase the appetite, while other cats can be more sensitive and have a reduced appetite. Whether these are permanent or temporary issues, the cat food that you buy has to take into account this factor to satisfy even the most demanding cat.

In all of these 3 factors, the cat food you should give to your fur baby should offer the most precise response to cats’ needs based on their age, lifestyle or some individual characteristics.

Why are cats afraid of cucumbers? Find out here.

When you take into consideration these 3 factors, you are on your way to giving the best cat food to your baby without spending more than her nutritional needs.

These factors help you stay away from cat food loaded with vitamins and nutrients for active cats, when you beloved kitty only rules over your condo.

More importantly, you will only choose the right cat food that will help maintain her health and prolong her life.

The next time you go on cat food shopping, keep in mind the 3 factors: your kitty cat’s age, lifestyle, and sterilization.

These are the same 3 factors that Royal Canin discovered in their 50 years of research on Feline Nutrition.  The specific characteristics of each feline profile and the assessment of the cat’s nutritional needs are therefore at the heart of their activities. Their research is  on 2 sources: observation of the animal and scientific

With science on your side, you can now choose the best cat food for your fur baby without over spending!

Happy cat food shopping!

Why Are Cats Afraid Of Cucumbers?

Why Are Cats Afraid Of Cucumbers?

You may have seen various videos of a cat jumping out of the way of an innocent looking cucumber.

Are cats really afraid of cucumbers?

According to IFL Science, they suggest that since the cucumber was placed with the cat unaware, this animal will react extremely. And as you do not normally place cucumbers anywhere in the house, the cat may not fully understand the object placed near them.

Cucumbers are typically curvy and colored green. This may alarm the cat as a snake or some kind of predator to harm them.

Just like humans who can have various reactions to a surprise, these cats are naturally baffled with the cucumber.

But if you want to test this to your cat, know that doing this can stress your pet. Or the cat can get injured trying to get away from the cucumber. This can even have an effect on their mental health in the long run.
