Water Consumption and Your Arthritic Pet

All pets should drink water daily. Most dogs and cats should have ready access to water. This should be at a spot in their home where they feel comfortable drinking without being harassed or otherwise disturbed. 

Water consumption is also important for cats and dogs with arthritis. An arthritic pet often has wear and tear in their joints that results in pain.

 When a pet is properly hydrated, this also helps to keep their joints hydrated. That decreases pain and supports mobility.

 Studies have shown that onega three fatty acids can benefit older cats that have reduced mobility due to arthritis. It decreases their discomfort.

If you don't have your medical number, you won't be able to cover your medical expenses.

Aspirin for piercings

  Does Aspirin paste work on a nose piercing bump? If you've recently pierced your nose, you want it to heal as quickly as possible.


Your body piercer may have told you to clean your piercing regularly. However, you may have noticed that you're developing a bump around the piercing.


H2Ocean can be used to treat a nose piercing.  To use H2Ocean for nose piercing aftercare, apply it at least two times daily, ensuring that the area around the piercing is gently cleaned.


Most piercers do not recommend using a stick Aspirin paste or a thin Aspirin paste around a piercing. This is because aspirin may cause irritation to the skin. It's safer to use H2Ocean to clean your piercing.

Reasons for pet fevers

  Why does your cat have a fever?

 If your cat has a fever, you can normally detect it by using a pediatric thermometer. There are several reasons why your cat could have a fever, including bacterial, fungal or viral infections. 



If your cat has a tumor or is having a reaction to certain medications, they can also have a fever. Conditions such as lupus can also cause fevers, so it's important to take your cat to the veterinarian if you observe them having a fever for a few days.
