Hi doctor, wanted to know the precaution to be taken while adopting and bringing home a community kitten when already having a fully indoor pet who has a medical condition? The mother community cat is vaccinated but I’m not sure of her medical history. Need your advice. I’m aware that kitten has to be kept seperately until first dose of vaccination and even post that slow introduction between them.

Yes please keep the new kitten away from your pet for the first 7-10 days, some diseases can spread through indirect contact so make sure you wash your hands carefully after handling the new pet. Also make sure you deflea and deworm the new kitten before you introduce the two. For the first few times you introduce them please monitor closely to make sure they don't injure each other. If possible get a physical examination done by a veterinarian before you take the kitten home.

Hi! I have a few doubts regarding diet of a 4 month old labrador: 1. Is chicken necessary in their diet or we can substitute it with vegetarian alternatives that act as a good protein source? 2. Should chapati (multigrain flour) be fed to them? 3. What quantity of ghee should be provided in a single day?

Eat or Pass? 1. Human Biscuits Very often we see people feeding Parle-G and other human biscuits to street dogs and their pet dogs. But is that recommended? NO. It is not recommended to feed human biscuits to dogs and if you are feeding, you need to check for 3 ingredients- -Sugar: Not good for their health -Xylitol: Alternative of sugar, poisonous for dogs -Gluten: Harmful for their health in long run
