00:00 Hi, welcome back to another episode.

00:02 Today it's a fan show.

00:04 This show is all about you.

00:06 We're going to answer some of your most popular questions.

00:08 So we're going to make it quick and fast.

00:13 Virk Ramstad, a YouTube fan, I hope I'm saying that correctly, asked me a very important

00:18 question.

00:19 Are onions bad for my ferret?

00:21 I hope you're not giving your ferret onions, because those are no good.

00:24 Onions have something in them called disulfides.

00:27 This can cause hemolytic anemia.

00:28 A small amount of onion can be very bad for a very small ferret.

00:33 No onions for your ferret.

00:35 Hope that answered your question.

00:38 Pretty Natural Sister, a YouTube fan, asks, "My seven month old boxer urinates every five

00:44 minutes.

00:45 What should I do about it?"

00:46 Well, I know that can be frustrating.

00:48 So here's what I would suggest.

00:50 Before we can diagnose a problem, let's make sure there's no medical issue first.

00:56 Then we can talk about behavior.

00:58 So take him to a veterinarian, get him checked out, then we'll get a chance to talk.

01:04 Frozen Memories XX, a YouTube fan, asks, "My cat suckles and also kneads or makes bread.

01:14 Is that normal?"

01:15 Of course it's normal.

01:16 A lot of cats will have leftover instinct and traits and behaviors from their ancestors.

01:23 So that feeling of kneading is very similar to our feeling of rolling around in the bed

01:29 in the morning or taking a good stretch.

01:32 It just feels good and it's leftover from our ancestors.

01:35 So don't worry about a thing.

01:37 That's totally normal.

01:38 Diane D., a Facebook fan, asks, "My cat only eats dry food.

01:43 If I switch to wet food, will my cat lose weight?"

01:46 Well, Diane D., it's not that simple.

01:50 But I will start by saying this.

01:52 For the most part, cats becoming overweight or obese is not a product of the dry food.

01:59 It's a product of leaving the dry food out all day.

02:02 Hey, Diane D., if you put me in front of a buffet, I would eat all day too.

02:06 So let's do this.

02:08 Let's make the food in regimented amounts in the morning and in the night.

02:13 People tend to do that with wet food, which makes it a lot easier for your cat to stay

02:18 slim.

02:19 Do you have a medical question you'd like me to answer?

02:21 Just submit them in the comment section below or even in the form of a video.

02:25 We'll see you next time.

02:26 And remember, there's nothing stronger than the human-animal bond.
