Now, even small dogs are genetically programmed to function like predators, which makes sense considering they are close relatives of wolves.
現(xiàn)在,即使是小狗也已經(jīng)由基因決定是肉食動(dòng)物,考慮到它們是狼的近親就變得很好理解。
And birds-you can probably figure out why the only way you'd find out your bird is sick is when it dies.
至于鳥類,也許可以發(fā)現(xiàn)它患病的唯一方法是在它死亡的時(shí)候。
The situation with cats, as compared to dogs and birds, is much more interesting.
而同狗和鳥相比,貓的情況則更加有趣。
On the one hand, cats are predators,but on the other, they're small enough to be prey.
一方面,貓是食肉動(dòng)物,但另一方面,體型較小的喵星人也是其他動(dòng)物的獵物。
So how can you tell if your smaller pets need medical attention?
那么你如何判斷自己的小型寵物患病需要去就診呢?
For one thing, trust your hunches.
首先,相信你的直覺。
No one knows your pets like you do, so if you notice even very subtle changes in habits and behavior, you may want to have a vet look them over.
沒有人會(huì)像你一樣了解你的寵物,所以如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)習(xí)慣和行為即使有非常微妙的變化,你可能就需要帶它們?nèi)タ传F醫(yī)。
For a cat, other signs of illness might be that it has stopped grooming, is losing weight, vocalizing more or less than usual, or missing the litter box.
對(duì)于貓來說,其他疾病的跡象可能是它停止梳毛,體重減輕,聲音比平時(shí)增加減少,或垃圾箱里東西失蹤。
