Q. We have a small Pekingese that is experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. She is 3 months old, we are taking her to the vet in the morning (it's 1 AM over here right now). She won't drink anything right now. The diarrhea is NOT bloody and the vomit is light brown/yellow-ish.
What can we do RIGHT NOW in the short term before we take her to the vet? Quick answers are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A. Withhold all food and water, and try to get her to rest. Sometimes all it takes is a rest of old GI tract to settle things down. Dehydration is always a risk, especially with those symptoms in combination, but if she's not able to keep anything down/in, then forcing her to drink or eat will only push her faster to exhaustion.
Get her into the vet the moment that they open in the morning - or, better yet, find an emergency vet and get in NOW. To find one, use google, your local phone book, or ring your regular vet and listen to their message for information on how to deal with an after-hours emergency.
Good luck.

How much are average chinchilla vet appointments?
Q. I plan on purchasing some soon and I wanted to know how much on average a trip to the vet would cost. I've heard many different prices, but I wanna hear from all the ones that actually care about and take of their chinchillas. I'll even like the actual vets to answer too. Thank you
A. Hi there... prices vary tremendously not only from each veterinary hospital, but also of their location (cost of living influences the prices) and their overhead. Therefore, you would need to ring multiple animal clinics who specialise in chins to learn their service fees. Here in Seattle and vicinity an office visit can be anywhere between $75 - 150 depending where the clinic is located and their overhead.
What is the lifespan of a mini-rex rabbit?
Q. Evryone says something different. Like one website said 6 years. Another said 8-10 years. Another said some other age! Can someone narrow it down please? I have a mini rex rabbit who will be turning 5 in July. He has a very large enclosure in a room that no one uses (except excersise). Can maybe an animal expert or vet answer this?
Thanks,
Angie :)

A. The average lifespan of an outdoor rabbit is around 5 years. Indoors, 8-10. Some rabbits will live well into their teens. I lost my oldest rabbit last month at the age of 14. Your rabbit should have several good years left at least if you care for him properly and he eats a proper diet.
