Q. Please don't post opinions. Only answer if u know for sure. I found a lot of people have posted this same quesion on the Internet so it must be common. What causes it? Hoping for vet advice.
A. Yes cats get boogers and they are always black too,its dust gathering up mixed with their moist nose it gets crusty on the edges as it dries, so that's the boogers we get to see,
you will see them on the corners of the eyes too,i always clean it up with my finger for my cat as soon as i put my finger to her nose she moves her head about to be sure they are gone,
i do the same for her eyes too i don't mind my own cats boogers! so if you have central heating you will notice regular ones, as the air gets dried with dust so cats breath it in,
not to worry its so common and we notice it more with cats who have a paler coloured face,not a vet just common sense after always having cats,hope this helps.

How often should I feed a one year old sheltie?
Q. My sheltie turned one this past wednesday. I have been feeding her twice a day as a puppy due to my vets advice. Yes, I know not to substitute yahoo answers for my vets advice. But can anyone tell me if it is true that adult dogs should be fed once a day? Thanks.
A. You could drop back to once a day in adulthood, but I've always stayed at twice a day. It's easier on the dog's system to have two meals if you're feeding kibble. And as it's one of the highlights of most dogs' day, why not keep on feeding them twice?
In bloat-prone breeds, you don't want to ever drop back to once a day as it can increase the likelihood of bloating.
Now that he's full-grown, you may need to drop back the total amount of food, but I'd stick with twice-a-day feedings.

Polysporin drops to clear up an eye infection on a cat?
Q. My cat has an eye infection. (I know it is an eye infection as he had one a few months ago. I would really rather not incur another 150 dollar vet bill for them to tell me he has an eye infection and prescribe me antibiotic ointment, which he hated). We used to use Polysporin drops with our dogs, on vet advice. Can I do the same for a cat? Is is safe and appropriate to use Polysporin drops on a cat for an eye infection?
A. If they are polysporin eye drops go for it. Try it for a few days and see if the eye is better but be sure to give it at least 5 days.
You can buy terramycin eye drops for cat at a pet store so that might be a better option.
Yes, you should take your cat to the vet so he can give you the proper diagnosis and treatment, but I understand that it can be a significant financial problem for regular people with regular income. I have foster cats/kittens and we always have to think about the budget.

Roughly how much would an ultrasound scan cost for a rabbit in the uk?
Q. My rabbit is ill. She has improved slightly following the vets advice as I have been treating her at home with the drugs they gave me but I still think she is in pain and we can't work out why. If it's dental she'll need an xray but she is weak and it isn't a good idea to anaethatise her. I'm looking at an ultrasound to see if she has a blockage/tumor or something like that but I can't find out how much this will cost until Monday. Does anyone know roughly how much this would be in England?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
A. Why do you not just ask you vet how much it would cost or, if he does not do it, ask him to refer you to someplace that does. I am sure they would quote you the price.
