My dog has a crack in her pelvis. My vet told me to keep her immobile, no walking or running for six weeks. She gave me calcium pills to give her. We have a follow-up appointment in 6 weeks to see if the crack is gone.

Where would you work if you were a vet?

How do you teach a horse to come to you?

To teach a horse to come to you, start by using positive reinforcement such as treats or praise. Begin by calling the horse's name and offering a treat when they come to you. Repeat this consistently and gradually phase out the treats once the horse reliably comes to you when called. It's important to always be patient and consistent in your training approach.


How do you teach a pet mouse to come when it's name is called?

Hold a treat in your hand and call your mouse's name. It will come forward in attempt to get the treat. Keep calling his or her name until he or she gets the treat. Say it's name once more before giving the treat to your mouse. keep getting farther back each day you teach your mouse this trick. It should take 14 to 21 days to teach this to your mouse without holding a treat.


What is a animal that is illegal for a vet to treat?

With my research I saw that many vets can treat any animal because there are many different kinds of vets. But any vet can refuse to treat an animal. For example. If your dog is sick, the vet can refuse to treat the dog because, unlike in human medicine, there is no legal requirement for treatment. The two most common reasons a veterinarian will refuse to treat an animal are lack of owner ability to pay for treatment and inexperience with the species or condition.


How do you care for your cat's broken jaw?

In short, you need to keep your cat immobile. The effected leg needs to be bandaged securely with the hip and pelvis. A vet will recommend cage rest for several weeks to allow the pelvis to re-ossificate. It depends on the extent of damage, and where it is on the pelvis as to the length of time you should keep the cat immobile. Pain-killers are a must, as much as you try to keep your cat still, it will move around to be more comfortable and to go to the toilet etc. It there is any lacerations or cuts there may be a risk of infection so antibiotics may be needed. A complication of long periods of cage rest is a drop in your cat's morral, which may lead to a lack of appetite. If this happens then immediate veterinary care is advised. They will need to hospitalise the cat and most likely place a drip to keep the cat hydrated.
