Hi. Are you sure your kitten is 6 weeks old? Maybe he/she is younger and not yet ready to lap. If currently feeding from a syringe, try moving on to a bottle with rubber teat specifically made for kittens, and kitten formula. (don't use cows milk, it will cause diarrhoea and possibly cause allergies as … Read more

How old is your dog and how long have you noticed the "green" discharge? First thought would be a urinary tract infection - this can be very uncomfortable/painful and should be seen by a vet.  It's quickly and easily cleared up by a course of antibiotics if it is a simply infection - but don't … Read more

PLEASE, if you havent already, take the kitten to a vet NOW. He's obviously in pain - he may have a blockage in his throat, or injured/broken/dislocated his jaw - or a number of other things. Whatever it is the little fella needs and deserves to have medical attention immediately. Please let us know … Read more

Any letter that is not a vowel, is a consonant.  Most words are made up of vowels and single consonants. Some words have double consonants e.g. Shopping where there are two 'p's together.  (Shop has a single p consonant)

If this has come one suddenly (rather than slow weight gain from excessive eating), then I'd treat it as an emergency and run, don't walk, to the vet asap.  It may turn out to be just caused by worms, or it could indicate kidney failure or build up of fluid. Either way (and there could … Read more

You r cat may have an intestinal upset (tummy bug). You could try (tricky I know!) to withhold food for 24 hours then reintroduce in small but regular meals of bland food - e.g. Boiled chicken with a bit of cooked rice added, to see if it makes a difference. If it doesnt, then a … Read more

You don't!  Firstly - feeding him gunpowder is only going to make him sick ... very sick!  In many places it is illegal, and certainly it would be considered as animal abuse.  It will cause damage to the dogs internal organs - kidney, liver and stomach lining to say the least, and the only … Read more

It depends on the cause of the itchiness, however wet tea bags on the eyes can be very soothing due to something in the tanin. If it doesnt help - you may need to consult a vet to make sure there's nothing in the eyes that needs flushing out, and possibly get some cream in … Read more

Absolutely they're adorable .. And they're hard work and a lifetime commitment (16 years+)! A kitten will soon become ...a cat! If you have an adult cat and you get a kitten, make sure you spend plenty of time with your older cat so he/she doesnt feel neglected.

Sadly yes. A heavy infestation of fleas can.  Fleas feed on the puppies blood and can quickly make a young puppy anaemic.  Anaemia can be fatal. Consult a vet for correct treatment. All the best...

One of the biggest disadvantages of using credit cards, is the usually high interest rates they (the issuer) charge, and if you're unable to clear the entire balance every month, the amount of interest you pay over time to clear your debt, is astronomical! There are usually annual or 6 monthly bank fees on top … Read more

Never give an animal, a medicine intended for human use UNLESS  under a vets supervision and approval. Vets are the ones who will correctly tell you the dose to give a pet without harming them. It's very common for dogs to chew their feet by the way.  But in case it's due to an allergy … Read more
