However in some standard pet care or vaccine requirements and
even a few pet tips Our Expert below would like to post a few
common questions. Our Expert Dr. Dog:
Q.How do I
know if my Puppy has worms?
A. One is obvious, you will see the worms or worm segments in
your dog's stool.
However since there are many types of worms, some microscopic
that do the most damage, a fecal sample tested by your veterinarian
is the best solution.
Q.My dog likes to lick me a lot, especially when I'm sitting on
the couch watching TV or just after a shower. Sometimes it feels
like he's giving me a bath. Why does he do this?
A. They've
been trained not to put their teeth on people, so they lick to
occupy their mouths. Licking may be a sign of affection, your
dog's way of showing you that he's enjoying spending time cuddled
on the couch with you. Or, he may just like the taste of your
soap!
Q. Sometimes
my cat will be content and purring when I'm petting him, and then
suddenly his tail will start to twitch and he'll start to bite
my hands. He also loves to jump out and attack my feet when I'm
walking by. Why does he get carried away and attack me?
A. Strange
as it may seem, your cat is not attacking you out of hostility,
but because he is a perfectly normal cat. Many cats nip and bite
when they're happy, particularly if they have a low threshold
for stimulation. You can learn the warning signs of when your
cat's becoming overstimulated: you might feel his muscles tense
or see his tail twitch or his rear end waggle. If you can tell
he's about to bite, stop petting, and pet him again when he's
calmed down.
