If the animal bites, but is not aggressive then you can take it to a vet clinic. Your vet will inspect the animal and recommend any further treatment.
In most cases, rabies shots will be required. However, you should never administer these yourself. Only a qualified person should be able to do this.
What should you consider when getting a pet?
You must first consider what kind lifestyle you wish for yourself, your family, and your friends. Do you have any children? If so, how many? Are they currently over 50? Are there any special dietary preferences?
Do you have allergies? Is there anything you need to know more about your pet
After answering these questions, consider whether you are looking for an active companion or a calm lap dog, a house-trained pet, or a tank of tropical fish.
If you are thinking about adopting a puppy, be sure to go to a shelter or rescue group to get to know them.
It is also important to check if the animal was vaccinated against other diseases and rabies.
The owner should also be asked if the animal will be taken care of while you're away. This will ensure that you don't have to worry about leaving the pet alone.

How To
How to teach your cat how to use the litter box
Litter boxes are great at reducing your pet's waste, but they don't always work out well for cats. They are too small, or even wrong, for cats to feel comfortable in. In fact, they could end up spilling the waste all over the place and just leave it there.
These tips will help you make the most of teaching your cat to use a litter box.
-
Your cat should be able to stand straight in the box, without having to lean down.
-
Place it in a place where your cat is most likely to be outside. If that doesn't happen, you can try placing it in a room with an outside door.
-
Give your cat water as often as possible while he goes through his usual routine of toilet breaks. It will also help to keep him hydrated and less stressed about the box.
-
Avoid making loud or sudden movements when you first introduce the cat to the box, especially if your cat has been outside for a while.
-
Once he is comfortable with the idea, you can reward him with praise for using the box correctly. You might also consider offering treats to your client, but only after you've completed your business.
-
Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the box.
-
Be patient! It can take several weeks before your cat starts using the box regularly, so don't worry if it takes longer than expected.
-
You should contact your veterinarian immediately if you observe any changes in your cat’s behavior such as aggression towards other people or animals. This could be a sign of a serious condition such as a kidney disease or infection in the urinary tract.
-
Last but not least, make sure you clean up after your cat each day.
