If you’re interested in having mice as pets, please talk to your veterinarian Niagara Falls, ON to learn more about their required care. Domestic mice can make great pets for the right owner. Take note that mice are social creatures and do best when living in a group. Males will fight with one another unless introduced at an early age. Owners of pet mice describe them as curious and active creatures that generally live between one and three years. Mice are fragile and should be handled gently. Mice could make nice pets for children, but adults should always be present to supervise handling and care. Mice do well on a diet of regular mouse food, which can be found in most pet stores. It is also recommended that mice be given small amounts of fruits and vegetables as daily treats. Fresh water should always be available as well.

If you own a pet bird then you’re going to need to know how or at least how often to trim your bird’s nails. You can always contact your local vets Niagara Falls ON and ask for help or schedule an appointment for your vet to trim your bird’s nails. Birds need their nails trimmed to avoid having them become so long that they are painful or could get caught in something. How often you trim you bird’s nails depends greatly on the breed of bird you have. Generally, the bird’s nails are too long if the toe is elevated off the ground when the feet are placed on a flat surface. If you’re going to trim at home, make sure you have all of the appropriate tools. Your area pet store should care appropriate trimmers. Follow your vet’s trimming instructions and don’t hesitate to call for assistance.

Although most people know that veterinarians check for illness during an exam, is there anything else they’re checking for?

During a first exam, your veterinarian is likely to establish a baseline that can be used for future reference. That way, you can see how your cat changes throughout the years. Many changes come along slowly and continue until it’s almost too late. With a baseline from the year before, your vet can catch problems early.

One of the ways veterinarians check for problems is to examine the symmetry of your pet. Your pet’s body should be equally divided, and any deviation can be a clue that something may be wrong.
