Conbun - The Best Online Consulting App

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Vinod Kumar Jain If your cat has suddenly stopped using the litter box, the cause is usually a medical problem, stress, territorial behaviour, a litter box issue, or an age-related condition. Cats rarely avoid the litter box out of spite. They are just responding to discomfort, anxiety, or an environmental change that makes the litter box unsafe or unpleasant to use. Before assuming that your cat is being stubborn, dramatic or plotting revenge on you because you bought the wrong treats, here’s an important truth you need to know: cats don't usually stop using the litter box without a reason. In fact, sudden litter box avoidance is often one of the earliest signs that something is physically or emotionally wrong. The trick is figuring out what your cat is trying to tell you. What Are The Reasons Your Cat is Avoiding the Litter Box? 1. Medical Problems: The First Thing Every Cat Owner Should Rule Out If you’re wondering why your cat is s...

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Saroja Patil It's 2 AM. Your dog has decided that sleeping is overrated and has adopted scratching as his full-time profession. Scratch. Scratch. Pause. Scratch again. You check for fleas. Nothing. You check again because surely there must be fleas. Still nothing. If you're wondering, "Why is my dog scratching so much?" you're asking one of the most searched pet health questions in India. The truth is that fleas are one tiny piece of that puzzle. From allergies and yeast infections to mites and hormonal problems, there may be various reasons why your dog has turned into a furry sandpaper. The Usual Suspects: Why the Itch Won't Quit 1. Allergies: The Itch You Can't See If your dog is itching all over its body, what to do depends on the trigger, and allergies are “the usual suspects.” Dogs can be allergic to pretty much everything: food, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, or even the ultra-fancy, lavender-scented...

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Saroja Patil It’s 10 PM. Your dog has started scratching again. The same spot and the same frantic rhythm. You’ve already checked for fleas twice but see nothing. It's your third time, but the dog is now biting his paws and shaking his head like something’s wrong. If you are a pet parent, this may sound familiar. Dog itching is one of the most common reasons Indian pet owners consult a vet. Whether you have a Labrador in Chennai, a Shih Tzu in Delhi, or a Beagle in Pune, skin problems are everywhere, and most of them are not caused by fleas. According to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association, allergies, infections, parasites, hormonal disorders, and environmental factors are among the leading causes of chronic itching in dogs. Understanding why your dog is itching is the first step toward lasting relief. The good news is that most causes can be diagnosed and managed successfully when identified early. In the following article, ...

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr. Saroja Patil You pick up your cat one afternoon for the routine cuddle session, but something feels off. The cat feels lighter to you, and her spine is more noticeable. The ribs are easier to feel. She’s still eating right, so you shrug it off. A week passes, then another, but the weight keeps dropping. This is one of the most common cat health concerns in India. The tricky part? A thick coat hides weight loss extremely well. By the time you can notice weight loss visually, the change may already be significant. Weight loss in cats is not something you can guess. It may be because of something as simple as dietary changes, or it can be an early sign of kidney disease, hyperthyroidism or diabetes. This guide covers the most likely causes and how you can stop them early. How Much Weight Loss Is Actually Concerning? Any unintentional loss of more than 10% of your cat's body weight is considered clinically significant and should be investig...

Written by: Anand Sen; Reviewed by: Dr Vinod Kumar Jain Riya got a Labrador puppy. For the first two months, she fed the dog whatever she felt was healthy. It was rice, dal, leftover and chicken on weekends, and occasionally dog biscuits. By the third month, the puppy started facing common Labrador health problems like poor coat quality, loose stools and early calcium deficiency. Riya did not neglect nutrition, but she neglected structure. This is one of the most common mistakes new pet owners in India make. Dogs of different sizes, breeds and life stages have different dietary needs. A growing German Shepherd puppy does not have the same nutritional needs as a senior Pomeranian living in an apartment. That is why a proper dog diet chart India owners can realistically follow matters so much. Why a One-Size-Fits-All Dog Diet Does Not Work in India Most generic feeding charts that you get online are designed for Western climates and imported commercial dogs. But dogs in India live...

The stray disappears and suddenly everyone is busy searching drawers for an old vaccination card that may or may not exist. This happens across India every single day. Most pet owners already know that rabies is dangerous. However, many are unsure about these things: When the vaccine is actually due Whether yearly boosters still matter How much does the vaccine cost Whether skipping rabies vaccination can create legal problems In a country with a high density of stray dogs, exposure to rabies is common.
