Problem: Article: When feeding your dog is more like throwing raw chicken at an alligator, it can be frustrating. But more than that, gulping down food can lead to several potentially harmful issues. Never ignore a habit like eating too fast. Address the issue while keeping an eye out for developing health problems. When a dog races through his food, he is also swallowing a large amount of air. This can result in something simple like burping or passing gas, which is not enjoyable for those around but is relatively harmless. The faster the dog eats, the less he chews. This can cause him to choke if something large that needed to be chewed down to size passes down his esophagus. These include: bloated or swollen belly, walking hunched over, unsuccessful attempts to vomit, listlessness, and pacing. Always call your veterinarian if you suspect bloat. This is an emergency, and it is better to waste a phone call than miss a life-threatening problem. Bloating from food can increase the chance that your dog's stomach will twist, cutting off blood supply to the stomach. This can cause irreversible damage to the stomach or death. A dog suffering from this must be seen immediately by your veterinarian. There is no home remedy.
Summary: Realize that eating too fast can cause health problems. Watch for burping and flatulence. Be on the lookout for choking. Look for signs of bloating.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Offer your rabbit tasty treats that are also high in nutrients such as spinach, carrots, lettuce, rabbit pellets, or timothy hay. These foods will help the rabbit keep healthy in its old age. Timothy hay can be fed in unlimited quantities; veggies should be fed at a rate of two cups per six pounds of body weight. Be sure that your rabbit is drinking and eating several times a day. Make sure that its water bowl/bottle is never empty. Monitor changes in your bunny's weight and adjust its diet accordingly. Older rabbits often need food pellets, which are available at local pet stores. These will give your bunny a calorie boost to make up for the loss of bone mass and muscle. Pellets of timothy hay are best, though alfalfa pellets might be needed if your rabbit is having trouble keeping on weight. Pellets should be administered at a rate of cup per six pounds of bunny weight. Alternatively, if your bunny has put on excess pounds in its old age, work to reduce its weight. Like humans, bunnies can develop arthritis, heart disease, and other health problems related to excess weight. Ask your doctor what your bunny's target weight should be and adjust its diet as necessary. The development of molar malocclusions misalignments of the jaw -- are common in smaller breeds like lops. If you see your bunny has difficulty eating, drools when eating, moves its mouth in seeming discomfort, or paws at its face, you should bring your bunny to the vet. Other signs of molar malocclusions include a bunny who takes food but then spits it out, a bunny who has a very wet face after eating, or a bunny who turns down food regularly. To feed a bunny with malocclusions, offer small chunks of fruit and veggies, and cut up your bunny's greens. Smaller pieces are easier to chew. Check your bunny's teeth for abnormalities monthly. Problems with both incisors and molars might visible. Your rabbit's teeth should be straight and the gums should have a healthy pink color.

SUMMARY: Encourage healthy eating. Feed your bunny appropriately for its weight. Look for malocclusions.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A room in semi-darkness provides much less stimulation for your pup, possibly bettering and shortening the seizure. Take a look around and see what you can do to make the room as peaceful and dim as possible. At night, leave a dim light to watch the dog by. In simple terms, a seizure is an electrical storm in the brain. Anything that stimulates the brain, such as light, noise, smell, or touch has the potential to worsen, or even lengthen, the fit. This electrical storm in your dog's brain will only be heightened by outside noises. To help him get through this, turn off the TV and radio. Likewise, get everybody else to leave the room. The last thing your dog needs is an audience of shocked people gasping and talking, so get them out of the room to give the dog space and peace. You will need to watch your dog for your own peace of mind and to time the seizure and make sure he's okay. Stay as silent and unmoving as possible during this time to make this episode easier on him. A dog's olfactory stimulation (his sniffer) can be quite potent, so if you have scented candles burning or a roast in the oven, takes steps to get rid of the smells. Blow out and remove the candles and open a door to improve ventilation. A large dog during a seizure will not be easily moved. A small dog during a seizure, while easier to handle, may still not be a good idea since touch is also stimulating and can agitate his delicate condition. It will be much easier to get rid of the odors than to move your dog. This is a controversial topic for some owners because they feel compelled to stroke their pet to soothe his anxiety. The risk is that touch is a form of stimulation, therefore it is probably best to leave him alone. His fit will pass quicker if you do not try to get involved. During a fit, at best he won't be aware you are there, and at worst, you could prolong the attack. While touching him may be soothing to you, it will unlikely be soothing to him.
Summary: Switch off the lights and draw the curtains. Make the room silent. Get rid of any smells. Don't be tempted to pet your dog.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take a quick look around for any obvious trash, like wrappers, old food, tissues, or cut off clothing tags, and toss it into a garbage bag. While you're at it, empty any wastebaskets in your room and put in new bags. Since you're doing a quick cleanup, stick with really obvious garbage. Don't worry about sorting through stuff like old papers and deciding which to keep or toss. Gather up your dirty clothes and throw them in a basket or hamper. Don't worry about sorting your clothesjust get them off the floor for now. Make sure to separate out any clean clothes so they won't have to be washed again. If you have a lot of clean clothes lying around, take a few minutes to fold them and put them in your dresser or hang them up in your closet. If you don't have time for that, bundle them up neatly and put them in a basket so you can put them away later. If it's time to change your bedsheets, strip your bed and toss those into your hamper, too. Next, look around for stuff like books, papers, toys, electronics, or any other things that belong in your room but aren't in the right places. Gather up these items and quickly put them away. Put books back on the shelves or put them in a tidy pile on your desk, dresser, or nightstand if you're still using them. If there are toys around, put them in boxes or bins. If there are small items around that you use every day, like your watch or a favorite lip balm, try putting a small decorative dish or basket on your dresser or nightstand where you can keep them all together. Chances are that a few things have gotten into your room from other parts of the house. Quickly gather up any strayslike plates and cups from the kitchen or that screwdriver you used when you changed the batteries in your clockand bring them back to wherever they came from. If you're really in a hurry to finish cleaning your room, put everything in a box and set it outside your bedroom door so you can put it away later.
Summary:
Gather up trash and put it in a garbage bag. Pick up any laundry that's scattered around. Put your things back where they belong. Carry out any items that belong in other rooms.
