My puppy is really young and going through the teething phase. It seems to bite everything, including my hands and feet. Just a day ago, it tried to bite me, and when I moved my hand away, its teeth scratched me, causing a bit of bleeding. On the same day, it also scratched me while playing, and it drew blood again. I know the puppy's mom is a stray and she wasn't vaccinated, but the puppy hasn't had any other contact with outside animals except for her. Do you think I need a rabies shot because of these scratches? Should my siblings be concerned if they've played with the puppy and were bitten, even if there wasn't any bleeding? It's been two days since the scratch. What should I do?

Rabies transmission from a scratch is very unlikely, especially if there was no saliva contact with the wound. If the puppy seems healthy and is not exhibiting symptoms of rabies, you do not need a rabies shot at this time. Your siblings are at low risk as long as they were not bitten deeply or exposed to saliva on open wounds. It's always safer to clean the wounds well and seek advice from a doctor or local health authorities if you are still concerned.

I've been using Nicotex for the past 10 days. I know there's a specific cycle for using it. Since I don't feel like I need it much, I'm just taking 1 or 2 chews daily. Is that okay, or should I be following the cycle more strictly?

Detecting Fetal Heartbeat with Doppler Device at 17 Weeks _General Guidelines_ 1. _Typical detection time_: Fetal heartbeat can usually be detected with a Doppler device between 9-12 weeks of pregnancy. 2. _17 weeks is a good time_: At 17 weeks, the fetal heartbeat should be easily detectable with a Doppler device. _Factors Affecting Detection_ 1. _Fetal position_: If the fetus is positioned with its back towards the mother's abdomen, the heartbeat might be harder to detect. 2. _Maternal body type_: Women with a higher BMI might require a more advanced Doppler device or a transvaginal ultrasound. 3. _Device quality_: The quality and sensitivity of the Doppler device can impact detection. _Tips for Successful Detection_ 1. _Use a high-quality Doppler device_: Ensure the device is specifically designed for fetal heartbeat detection. 2. _Follow the manufacturer's instructions_: Properly position the device and adjust the settings as recommended. 3. _Try different positions_: Move the device around the abdomen to find the best spot to detect the fetal heartbeat.
