Signs your bird may be getting sick

Your feathery friend is a wonderful part of your life and you want to make sure you are there to give her the care she needs when she needs it. How can you tell if she is sick and in need of some additional attention?

Your pet is a good friend, and you have come to know her well. This knowledge will help you when evaluating how your pet is feeling. She will likely want to interact with you and take part in favored activities when she is well, and she will opt out of them when she is sick. She may also be found on the bottom of her cage instead of on her perches if she isn’t feeling too great. In fact, any changes to her typical behavior could be because of her falling ill. For additional information, please contact your local Fayetteville, NC veterinarian.

Precautionary Tips for Cat Toys

Cats love spending time playing with their favorite toys. However, once playtime is over, there is a need to put away the toys and secure them in a place which is inaccessible to your cat. Here are some important reasons for putting your cat's toys away after playtime:

• Toys should only be available to your cat during playtime for it is a way to spend quality time bonding with your pet.
• Before putting away the toy, check it for loose parts or pieces of string that might get swallowed by your cat. You can also check whether it's time to throw away the toy and get a new one for your cat.
• When letting your cat play with catnip toys, be careful about petting or rubbing your cat.

 Many cats love catnip and can become overexcited when they catch a whiff of catnip scent on your hands. Sometimes cats may bite when they become overexcited.
