What should friends pay attention to when taking care of pets!

Pet owners often go on business trips or temporarily leave home for a few days. During this period, besides being placed in a pet store, the most common thing is to leave it at a friend’s house to help take care of it for a few days. After the Spring Festival in February, many pets that come to treat illnesses are directly related to improper care and unscientific diet during the foster period. Today, we will analyze several cases to see how to select suitable candidates if pet owners need to find someone to take care of them when they leave.

Case 1: During the Spring Festival, a guinea pig owner put the guinea pig in another friend’s house because he returned to his hometown. Because it is winter, it may be a bit cold on the road, or the whole temperature may be relatively low at a friend’s house, or there may be insufficient vitamin C supplementation during this period. When picking it up, the guinea pig developed yellow snot, persistent sneezing, refusal to eat or drink, mental fatigue, and more serious symptoms of illness;

Case 2: The owner of the cat asked his friends to take care of the cat at home because he needed to go back to his hometown for a few days. The friends who helped take care of the cat in the first few days would also inform him of the cat’s situation, but gradually there was no news. After the pet owner returned home, they found that the litter box was filled with feces and urine, and the cat had no choice but to pee around the litter box.

Asking friends to help take care of pets on a temporary basis actually places high demands on friends. To take care of an unfamiliar pet, one needs to be very familiar with the pet. Because I don’t know what chronic diseases and lifestyle habits this pet has had before, I can only learn about them in a short period of time and can detect any abnormalities in a timely manner.

Try to find someone who keeps the same breed of pet to take care of. Each breed of pet has a different body structure, diet, living environment, and habits, so cat owners may not necessarily be able to keep dogs well, and bird owners may not be able to keep guinea pigs well. Not to mention ordinary people, even pet doctors may not truly understand pets. A friend’s three guinea pigs showed symptoms that may not be diseases. A cat and dog doctor directly prescribed medication to the guinea pigs, and three days later, one of them died every day. Upon hearing this, I knew that this doctor must have prescribed amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate to the guinea pigs. This is the first forbidden drug among all antibiotics in guinea pigs, and it is difficult not to die. So when choosing a friend who can help you take care of your pets, the first point is that they must have also raised pets. For someone who has no experience in raising pets, taking care of unfamiliar pets is too difficult!

Taking care of pets is a very troublesome and arduous job. If you want to keep your pets healthy, you need to pay attention to many details, such as constantly feeding them water, food, cleaning the sink and sink, cleaning the toilet, and grooming them. So the person you choose to take care of your pet must be a patient person who doesn’t always think about going out to eat, drink, and have fun, but puts animals first in life.

Pet owners can make a schedule for their pets, such as eating from what time to what time, cleaning the water and rice bowls, grooming, and cleaning the restroom. If the pet is being placed in someone else’s house, it is necessary to check in advance whether the environment is dangerous and whether they may ingest foreign objects or toxic chemicals? Is the temperature too low? Will you encounter harm from other animals?

In summary, separating from pets is always full of variables, so pet owners need to try to learn more about their pets’ actual living conditions, diet, and bowel movements through videos every day, to ensure their physical health, and not let it go unchecked.
