Precaution for Your Pets in Rainy Season
As a pet owner, you must be very concerned for your beloved’s
health and you want that it should always be in good health. The
question is what type of problem you suppose to face in monsoon
season and how to combat with it. As a veterinarian, I must advise
you that the foremost thing is not to give your pet a direct and
sudden cold exposure during rainy season. It could be dangerous

for the basic immunity of your pet and even pneumonia can be
developed...

The Mastiff
The Mastiff as a breed also tends to suffer from bloat. Bloat is a condition that all owners of large breed dogs need to look out for. The stomach of this animal is large and pendulous. If they are fed a very large meal and forced or allowed to exercise after the meal, the stomach, due to the weight of the food, may twist along its longitudinal axis. The food then is trapped within a closed sac. It can neither move upwards or downwards. To add to the complications, the food starts to get digested and gases begin to form. In as short as an hour the stomach swells up with fermented gases and the animal can die of shock.

over you on the weekends when you’re in casual clothes, but not
during the week when you’re dressed for work. That’s an
obvious one, although you’d be amazed how many people I’ve met
who do exactly that. Here’s one that’s less obvious.

dog sledding in Canada a while back. We thought the

way, but perhaps not suited for the Indian climate
unless however, we talking about Ladakh.

Aquaria Employ Science

other aquatic creatures, just like all of us and our
