Four of our five puppies have new homes. Now, however, the mother is refusing to eat and will not allow the remaining puppy to nurse. She is trying to wean the puppy but, in the meantime, her nipples are hard and sore. What can I do to help her?

Does a rabbits teats change in appearance?
Yes. A mothers teats will become larger as soon as she nurses til the babies stop nursing and then her teats will get smaller as her milk drys up. If they become really large, hard and have a fever your rabbit has mastitis. Best to get her to a vet. They will be very sore and she will not let babies nurse and could bite them. If gone untreated the doe could lose that teat. (not a pretty sight.)

How do you get rid of canker sores in a dogs mouth?
Do nothing - the blister/sore will rupture on its own and the dog will heal over the sore area within a week or so in most cases. If this is a frequent occurrance, I would suggest a trip to the veterinarian to see what is causing the canker sores - this is not a common illness in dogs.
