Q: My two indoor cats share a tray and constantly use it but sometimes they spill their waste in excess of the edge, generating a mess. It occurs all around when a fortnight and can be at any time: when the tray has just been transformed, or at other occasions as well.
MH, London
A: The excellent answer in any numerous cat home is to have one litter tray per cat, plus a single extra. Cats are territorial (even if they seem to be to be receiving on well) and they normally desire to use their own litter tray. Also, some cats like to pass urine and faeces in various places, so an added tray makes it possible for for this. If this does not solve your difficulty, it may be well worth attempting bigger and deeper plastic trays, such as the type sold for seedlings in backyard centres, rather than the regular ones sold in pet shops. There’s more space inside them for cats to flip about and the deeper sides indicate that litter is less likely to spill over the edges. Go to icatcare.org (Global Cat Care — formerly the Feline Advisory Bureau) for much more guidelines on litter tray difficulties.
Q: I purchased a Bearded Dragon two months in the past, and the tip of his long tail has turned black. It appears as if it has died off: it is shrunken and hard. Do I need to do anything at all, or will this settle down naturally. I know that lizards can often regenerate their personal tails.
FL, Preston
A: It sounds as if the lizard has tail tip necrosis, which is most frequently induced by trauma of some sort (such as getting his tail stuck someplace or, in a several-lizard atmosphere, currently being bitten by a single of the other individuals.) There are other achievable leads to including bad husbandry and bacterial or fungal infections. Bearded Dragons can’t regenerate their very own tails, and he may need an x-ray followed by amputation of the tail tip to end the necrosis from spreading. You need to get him to a vet with a specific curiosity in lizards: you can discover a single by going to the Find-A-Vet segment of the internet site of the Royal School of Veterinary Surgeons (findavet.rcvs.org.united kingdom).
