What do I need for a rabbit cage, and how big should it be? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

The rabbit should be able to spin around and stand up, things like that. It's definitely very important that they have an area outside the cage where they can roam. A big exercise pen or a rabbit-proof room that they can roam around in is perfect. Make it as big as it can be, as long as it's rabbit-proofed, so no cords and no carpeting. Carpets can be a little tricky for some of them.

Can my dog still get fleas and ticks in the winter? - Modern Vet Care

Yes, that's a question I get very commonly. While some fleas and ticks can go dormant in the winter, they must be exposed to certain conditions, and they often do not go completely dormant. So there are still active fleas and ticks even in the winter.

There are a few different diseases associated with both fleas and ticks. Fleas, in particular, can transmit intestinal parasites to your dog. Ticks can also transmit a few different types of tick-borne diseases, of which the most common are Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, which can cause complications and disease in your dog.

Is acupuncture safe for my dog? - Haywood Animal Hospital

Acupuncture's extremely safe. We don't find a lot of side effects. The worst-case scenario we've seen is some small reactions to the needle, and then we usually just change up the needle if that's the case.
