Q: Look for a kitten that doesn't seem shy or quiet and that has plenty of energy. Kittens with these personalities will adapt the best to homes with other friendly pets such as cats or dogs. They enjoy homes with plenty of entertainment and people to play with. Consider your existing cat when you are choosing a kitten. If your existing cat is very shy, poorly socialized, or doesn't respond well to other pets then it may be best not to get a new kitten. Shy and quiet kittens do best in homes with little noise and bustle. If you live alone or in a quiet household, then a shy or quiet kitten would be an ideal match. These kittens often form close bonds with their owners and can be playful at times as well as making good lap cats. Older kittens that are almost adults tend to be more mature and less rambunctious than when they are young. This makes them ideal for smaller children as they are likely to be more patient and less frightened of all of the attention. If you have young children, older and neutered male kittens are often the best choice. This is because they tend to be the most laid back. They also tend to tolerate being handled better than females, which is important as small children will naturally be very inquisitive and want to be involved. For elderly people, older kittens also tend to be a good choice. This is because young kittens are more energetic and more easily get underfoot. The characteristics of your existing cat are important when choosing the right kitten for your home. Younger, playful male cats get on well with energetic male kittens. Older female cats tend to respond the best to young and calm female kittens. Playful adult females enjoy the company of energetic female kittens. Laid back, older male cats that have been neutered tend to respond well to both male and female kittens. Male kittens tend to be more playful with other cats and with people than female kittens. Sometimes older female cats can become irritated by male kittens due to their playful nature. Many long-haired cats require regular brushing whereas short-haired cats usually require far less grooming and maintenance. Think about if you will have the time to commit to the grooming requirements of a long-haired kitten. Choose a short-haired kitten if you are unsure.
A: Pick a confident, playful kitten if you have other pets at home. Consider a shy kitten if you don't have small children or other pets. Get an older kitten if you have small children living in your home. Get a kitten that's the same sex as your existing cat if you have one. Choose a short-haired kitten if you're worried about shedding or grooming.

Q: S/he will examine the infected area and take an x-ray. to determine the severity of the situation and identify the best treatment. S/he will examine the position of the tooth to see whether it has fully or partially emerged from the gums. Your dentist will also take note of the condition of the surrounding gums. If the wisdom tooth has not yet emerged, the dentist may need to perform an x-ray to locate the tooth and identify its position. These factors will influence whether or not the tooth will need to be removed. Don't forget your medical history. Your dentist will want to know if you're allergic to any medication. Consult with your dentist about how much the procedure will cost. You should also ask about all the risks and benefits of the treatment, as well as any alternative treatments that may be an option. Don't be afraid to ask questions. You have the right to understand your medical care. If the wisdom tooth is about to emerge from the gums without any problems and the infection is not too severe, the dentist may be able to clear the infection by simply cleaning the area with an antiseptic solution. The dentist will remove any infected tissue, pus, food debris or plaque from around the area. If there is an abscess on the gums, sometimes a small incision will be made to drain the pus. After the cleaning, your dentist will recommend home care for you to follow over the next few days. This might include mouth gels to bring down inflammation, antibiotics to fully clear the infection, and painkillers to relieve any pain. Commonly prescribed antibiotics include Amoxicillin, Clindamycin, and Penicillin. One of the main causes of wisdom tooth infection is when a section of gum covering the wisdom tooth known as the gum flap becomes infected due to bacteria, plaque and food debris becoming trapped underneath it. If the tooth is still buried within the gums (but is positioned to emerge from the gums correctly) it is often easier to remove the infected gum flap than the tooth itself. Your dentist might schedule a minor surgical procedure called an 'operculectomy', in which the soft gum tissue covering the wisdom tooth is removed. Once removed, the area will be a lot easier to keep clean and free of plaque and bacteria, which greatly reduces the chances of the wisdom tooth becoming reinfected. Before the procedure, your dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic. S/he will then remove the infected tissue flap using surgical scalpel blades, lasers or electrocautery methods. If you have suffered from multiple infections and your wisdom tooth shows no sign of emerging on its own, it may be necessary to have the tooth removed. Extraction may also be necessary if the infection is very severe. Depending on the position of the tooth, the extraction will be conducted by your dentist or by an oral surgeon. The dentist will give you a local anaesthetic and will remove the tooth. You may be prescribed antibiotics and painkillers to prevent further infection and relieve any pain. It is essential that you follow your dentist's advice regarding good oral hygiene practices. You will need to schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist to inspect the gums to ensure they are healing properly. The dentist will check the positioning of the opposite wisdom tooth, in case it need to be removed also.
A: Discuss the treatment with your dentist. Ask about costs, risks, and benefits of treatment. Let your dentist clean the infected area. Prepare yourself for minor surgery. Consider a tooth extraction.

Q: (Have your partner check themselves as well.) The sores often appear as open, wet ulcers, or painless sores. These sores, caused by infection with syphilis bacteria, typically appear between 10 days and three months after exposure. They appear on the region of the body infected (such as the penis, vagina, tongue, lips, anus) and heal up, though the disease remains in the body. Secondary syphilis can reappear later on. These symptoms begin three to six weeks after the disappearance of the primary syphilis sore and include: Rash with inch red or brownish sores This is the most classical sign of secondary syphilis. The rash is characterized as a rash (a flat, red area covered with bumps) over the trunk and extremities that includes the palms and soles of the hands and feet Fever Headache Sore throat Anorexia Muscle pain Weight loss Alopecia Gastrointestinal Findings Musculoskeletal Problems Neurological and Ocular Findings Swollen lymph nodes General feeling of malaise This is dangerous and can cause neurological symptoms including uncoordinated movement and changes in behavior. In addition, secondary syphilis can lead to tertiary syphilis, which may spread to organs including and cause life-threatening complications. Neurosyphilis is difficult to diagnose and usually spinal fluid must be tested to confirm. This is a dangerous disease that can cause permanent damage and even death if left untreated. Talk to your doctor immediately and get tested.
A:
Check your genitals, mouth, and anus for primary syphilis sores. Evaluate yourself for signs of secondary syphilis. Be aware that syphilis may, at any point in the course of the infection, spread to the nervous system. Seek medical care if you have any of the symptoms listed above or suspect you may have syphilis.
