Fish? You mean I can really toss my dog a whole fish?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely...head, tail, body...the whole thing! Just be sure to check inside the fish for any hook that may have been forgotten to be removed. Fish is not a substitute for an RMB meal, but it can be fed a couple of times a week. One reason for this is the thiaminase enzyme in fish...it destroys thimaine (Vitamin B1). Fish especially rich in thiaminase are herring, capelin, suckers, smelts and various carp species, a total of some 50 species, most of which live in fresh water.

Can I toss my animal a whole fish or rabbit?

Wildlife Whole Prey Pet Food - Welcome
Yes, however, you will want to do it outdoors because you do not want this kind of bloody, greasy mess drug through the house. It should never be live and should always be frozen first. Freeze for at least 24 hours to kill germs and parasites. This goes for rabbits and birds too. Be careful what kinds of fish you feed, it should be ocean white fish only. Do not feed too much fish because fish has the thiaminase enzyme in it which can destroy thiamine (Vitamin B1).

What does it mean when my power tubes glow blue? Should I toss them?

Kevin O'Connor's Amplifier / Tube Amplifier FAQ
No, you don't have to toss them just yet. However, a blue glow indicates the presence of some gas in the tube, which is not a problem in most situations. If you have noticed an increase in the amount of blue, then you might want to get a new set of tubes sooner than later. Too much gas in the tube can lead to bias failures, blown fuses, and possibly blown output transformers.

What are Satin Balls? Can they really put weight on my skinny dog?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
The recipe and information on Satin Balls can be found here. Satin balls are not treats. They are a recipe that was developed to assist with putting weight on dogs. They were not developed as part of the BARF diet, but independently from it and are used by people who feed kibble as equally as those who feed home cooked or raw natural diets. The fact that they can be served either raw or cooked is the main factor that makes them 'acceptable' for all these.

Can you really tell river from ocean fish by their color?

StriperTracker.org - About the Project
It is a good guess that some copper-colored striped bass spend more time in the Mullica River than do silvery striped bass, because the river is stained by natural pigments that may enter the skin or mucus. However, no one has followed these fish yet and tested it, so the answer is "Maybe". In Nova Scotia, fishers said the same for "Greenback" and "Blueback" striped bass; differences in the diet and fatty acids of those fish shows that they are right.

Q - If I have fish, do I really need to feed them?

Pond Lifestyles - An Aquascape Designs Website - FAQ's - Pon...
No, the fish are scavengers and can generally live off of anything the find in the pond, including the algae. On the other hand, if you want to see your fish grow in any significant way or if your pond is heavily stocked with fish, you will need to feed them. Give them no more than what they can gobble down in five minutes. Excess food creates more nutrients that can encourage algae growth, causing more work for you. More fish care resources.

My dog's nose is dry. Does that mean he's sick?

Shoal Creek News (Volume 9, Number 1)
Not necessarily. There is a considerable amount of confusion regarding the importance of a cold, warm, wet, or dry nose in a dog and what is signifies about the animal's health. There is no standard which applies to all pets in all situations. Most dogs will periodically lick there nose and, due to evaporation, most wet noses feel cold. One might think, therefore, that healthy dogs have wet, cold noses. However, not all dogs repeatedly lick their noses.
