Is it true that one hamster needs to be raised in one cage?
Must raise 1 hamster per cage? Really! Must raise 1 hamster per cage? Really! Many people who just start raising hamsters often have questions in their minds, "How many hamsters should I raise? And if I raise only one, will it be lonely?" So they decide to buy many hamsters and put them together in the same cage, thinking that it will give them more friends and make them happier. But in reality, this is a misunderstanding that can have negative effects on their health and life. Why shouldn't you raise hamsters together? 1. Natural behavior of hamsters Hamsters are not like guinea pigs or some rodents. By nature, they are territorial and solitary animals. Each one needs its own space to eat, walk, run, and sleep. Forcing them to live together often causes stress and arguments. 2. Risks that may occur if raising hamsters together Raising hamsters together in the same cage can lead to major problems, such as hamsters biting each other until injured or sometimes even dead. Fighting over food and water makes some hamsters weak or malnourished. Accumulated stress → affects the immune system, making them more susceptible to illness. Are there any exceptions? Syrian Hamster ➝ Must be raised alone 100% Dwarf hamsters such as Roborovski, Campbell ➝ Sometimes can be raised together, but it is still very high risk. Must be observed all the time. But for safety, it is recommended to raise 1 cage: 1 animal. Why can hamster shops raise together? Because the hamsters sold before we buy them are still hamsters less than 1 month old. And hamsters will start to show territorial behavior after they are over 1 month old. How to raise a hamster to be happy even if they are alone Don't worry that they will be lonely. Because hamsters are not social animals by nature. But owners can increase their happiness by: Choose a cage that is wide enough. There is a hiding place and a place to climb. Provide toys such as running wheels, pipes, small houses, hide small foods for them to find by themselves. → Stimulate natural instincts. Give time to play and interact with the owner regularly. Raising 1 hamster per cage does not separate them from their friends. But it is to provide a safe space that is truly suitable for their nature. If any owners are still unsure about raising or arranging a cage You can come and consult with the doctor at Taling Chan Animal Hospital.
Letting cats get fat is more dangerous than you think.
Many people may think that fat cats look cute, cuddly, round, and have short legs. Seeing them on social media makes them even more adorable. But in fact, obesity is posing many health risks to cats, which many owners may overlook. Why do cats become fat easily? Most house cats live in limited spaces and have less activity than outdoor cats. They also receive high-energy, tasty processed food, making them easy to eat and enjoyable. When they eat too much but use little energy, their body accumulates fat, leading to obesity. Risks of Overweight Cats Allowing cats to become overweight not only makes them walk slowly, but also increases the risk of many serious diseases, such as Diabetes Mellitus in cats. Obese cats are at a high risk of diabetes, requiring lifelong insulin injections. Arthritis: Extra weight puts pressure on joints, causing pain and difficulty walking. Heart disease and high blood pressure. Fatty liver disease. Respiratory system disease. Excess fat reduces chest capacity, making it difficult to breathe. There is a higher risk of surgery and anesthesia than normal. How do you keep your cat in good shape? Diet control: Choose a weight-control food and give it the right amount. Encourage movement: Play with your cat more. Use toys for them to chase or climb. Regularly weigh yourself: To check and adjust your cat's diet as needed. Consult a veterinarian: To plan a safe weight loss. Is your cat overweight? How to tell for sure. Some cats look big but are actually not. Some cats look fluffy but have hidden fat. To determine if a cat is overweight, you should not just look by eye. Observation is also required. No ribs can be felt = There is a thick layer of fat. Looking at it from above, there is no curved waist = The body is round like a bucket. Overweight from the breed standard by more than 15–20%. If you are unsure, let your veterinarian assess your cat's Body Condition Score (BCS), which is a standard method of assessing cat nutrition. Although overweight cats may seem cute to us, they are actually at risk of serious diseases and a significantly reduced quality of life. Owners should ensure that their cat's diet and exercise are balanced so that they can live happily and healthily for a long time.

5 misunderstandings about rabbits that many people may say "Huh?"
Many people think that raising rabbits is easy, but in reality, there are many misunderstandings about rabbits, causing many rabbit caregivers to take care of them in the wrong way. Rabbits may seem like gentle pets, not naughty or noisy, but behind the cuteness lies proper care in terms of food, health, and a suitable environment. In this article, we will re-understand various misconceptions about rabbits that many people may unknowingly believe. 1. Main food ❌Myth: Rabbits eat carrots as their main food✅Fact: Rabbits should mainly eat hay. 70-80% Hay, such as timothy hay or alfalfa hay (for baby rabbits), is very important for rabbits' digestive system. It helps rabbits' teeth, which have grown long, to wear down naturally and prevent serious health problems such as bloating. Carrots and other vegetables are only supplements in small amounts because they are high in sugar. Eating too much can cause bloating, diarrhea, or even severe bloating. 2. Bathing ❌Myth: Rabbits can bathe✅Fact: Unless necessary or not advised by a veterinarian, it is better to avoid bathing. Bathing can cause severe stress and shock to rabbits, leading to injury while bathing. In addition, a rabbit's dense fur is very difficult to dry when wet and clumps. It takes hours to completely dry again, which can put them at risk of hypothermia and skin and lung infections. Therefore, when cleaning a rabbit, you should wipe it with a damp cloth or bathe it with dry shampoo only on dirty spots. 3. Socialization ❌Myth: Rabbits are solitary animals✅Fact: Rabbits are social animals and are suitable to be raised with many. In nature, rabbits are social animals that live in flocks. Having rabbit friends helps reduce stress, boredom with each other and promotes natural behaviors, making rabbits mentally healthy and happier. However, introducing a new rabbit to live with others requires gradual familiarization. 4. Health checks ❌Myth: Rabbits do not need health checks✅Fact: Rabbits are at risk of abnormally long teeth, ear worms, and bloating. They should be checked every 6-12 months. Rabbits are good at hiding their symptoms. Therefore, an annual health check-up (or every 6 months for senior rabbits) by a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets is very important. This is because we can detect any health problems that your rabbit may have, such as abnormally long teeth, respiratory tract infections, and digestive problems early on, so that they can be treated promptly before the symptoms become more severe. 5. Obesity ❌Myth: Fat rabbit = healthy✅Fact: Obesity = risk of osteoarthritis, diabetes, and poor digestion Overweight in rabbits can lead to a number of serious health problems, such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, or increased risk of hepatic lipidosis, which can be life-threatening. In addition, rabbits that are overweight cannot clean themselves and eat their own soft feces (cecotropes), which are nutrients that rabbits need in order to absorb important nutrients. If they don't eat, it will have a negative effect on their digestive system and overall health. Raising a healthy and happy rabbit is not too difficult... you just have to start with the right understanding. If you are a new rabbit owner or a long-time owner but still have questions about proper care, including other exotic animals, such as food.
Our pets can also donate their bodies to become teachers.
Many people may not know that… in addition to humans, pets can also donate their bodies to be “master teachers” for veterinary students to learn about real body structures and help develop treatments for other animals in the future.
How dangerous is copper testicles in pets?
First, let’s get to know what copper testicles are. Copper testicles are an abnormality of the testicles that have not descended into the scrotum. It can occur on one or both sides, causing them to remain in the groin or abdomen. It can occur in both dogs and male cats. Dog breeds that are at risk for copper testicles include Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, and Schnauzers. Cat breeds that are at risk for copper testicles include Persians and Ragdolls. The cause of copper testicles is a genetic abnormality that is passed on to the next generation. We can clearly observe this abnormality when the dog is 1 year old. How to Observe Copper Testicles in Dogs Dogs will have testicles in the scrotum from 2 months of age onwards. Most testicles will fully descend into the scrotum by 6 months of age. However, if the dog is over 1 year old or if it is fully grown and the testicles have not fully descended, it means that the dog has copper testicles. How to Observe Copper Testicles in Cats Cats can have testicles from 6 weeks onwards. Most testicles will be fully descended into the scrotum by 2 months of age. However, if your cat is over 6 months old or fully grown and the testicles have not fully descended, it means that he also has copper testicles. *Copper testicles do not affect animal hormones. Therefore, he will still be able to display sexual behavior normally. Is copper testicles dangerous? If the testicles have not descended into the scrotum, dogs and cats are many times more likely to develop tumors or testicular cancer than animals with testicles in the scrotum. This is because the body temperature is higher than in the scrotum, causing testicular cells to function abnormally, stimulating the development of tumors or cancer. How is copper testicles treated? “Sterilization surgery” is a method to help reduce the risk of testicular cancer in dogs and cats. Even though some animals have it on one side, both sides must be surgically removed because if left for a long time, the surgery will be more difficult. In cases where the testicles have descended into the abdomen, the doctor will perform an ultrasound before surgery to determine the exact location. In addition to reducing the risk of cancer, sterilization surgery also helps reduce the transmission of recessive genes through genetics to offspring. “However, sterilization surgery should be under the advice of a veterinarian because the physical condition of each dog and cat is different.” If the owner is wondering if their pet has complete testicles in the sac, they can bring them to see the doctor for examination so that they can receive timely treatment if they are found to have incomplete testicles on both sides.

5 ways to cool down, cat style
Cats are animals that can tolerate hot weather quite well because they originated in the desert. However, cats also need ways to cool themselves down in order to maintain a balanced body temperature when the weather is extremely hot. Let’s take a look at some of the methods. 5 ways for cats to cool down 1. Cleaning Cats will lick their fur to make their own fur wet. The saliva that they lick will evaporate and help reduce their body temperature similar to sweat in humans. 2. Panting Cats will start breathing rapidly or gasping for air when they feel very hot. This is a mechanism to help dissipate heat through breathing. However, if a cat is panting excessively, it may be a sign of dangerous heat stroke. 3. Stretching and Finding Cold Place Cats will stretch out to increase the area exposed to the air and will look for a cool place such as a tiled floor, a shaded area, or near a fan to help dissipate heat. 4. Less activities Cats tend to lie still and reduce their body movement in hot weather to reduce body heat production. 5. Vasodilation in the ears and paw pads Cats have blood vessels that can expand in their ears and paws when their body heats up. Blood will flow to this area more to help dissipate heat. Caution during hot weather: If your cat is panting heavily, has sticky saliva, is lethargic, or vomits, it may be at risk of heat stroke. You should cool it down immediately, such as by using a damp cloth to pat it dry, and take it to see a veterinarian immediately.
