Q: The adult flea only visits its host to feed, so for every flea you see on the pet, it is estimated that another 20 are living off the animal in her bedding, the carpet, and the sofa.  It is also important to be aware that the female flea lays her eggs on soft furnishings such as carpet and upholstery. These eggs are very hardy and, in the absence of a suitable host, can lie dormant for years. Once the eggs hatch, the flea larvae and pupae will develop in carpet or bedding, feeding off dirt in order to complete their life cycle and become adults. As a result, it is necessary to kill off any eggs or larvae hidden in the dog's bedding, or the carpeting and sofa, otherwise the mother dog or puppies could easily become reinfected. As explained in the step above, the environment in which the puppy lives is likely to be rich with flea eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to mature into the next generation of fleas. Therefore, this bedding needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to fully eliminate the fleas.  Flea eggs have an extremely tough protective shell, so putting the bedding through the washing machine will not be enough to eliminate them. Use an anti-flea spray or bombs that contains insecticide. The insecticide will find its way into remote corners of the bedding where flea eggs, larvae and pupae may be hiding. Use the insecticide according to the instructions on the packaging. Once you have applied the insecticide and given it time to take effect, you will need to put it through a very hot cycle in the washing machine to remove any residual insecticide (that could harm the puppies) and wash away dead eggs, larvae and fleas. Finally, you will need to kill any fleas living in carpeting or any other soft furnishings. To do this, you should use a permethrin-based insecticidal spray, such as Staykill or RIP fleas.  The manufacturers of these sprays recommend vacuuming prior to spraying. This loosens up the pile of the carpet and helps the spray to penetrate more deeply. In addition, the vibration from the vacuum is likely to ‘wake up’ the larvae who will then wriggle towards light in the hope of finding a host. Spray the insecticide onto the carpet, sofa and other soft furnishings according to the instructions on the label. The permethrins in the spray work by paralyzing the insects' nervous systems, interfering with muscle function and eventually causing death. Insects are unable to breakdown pyrethroids in the same way mammals can and are therefore far more sensitive to their effects Always remove the puppies, along with any other pets (including birds and fish) or children from the room before spraying with insecticide. Following the treatment, ventilate the room for several hours by opening the window, making sure the room is unoccupied.
A: Understand the life cycle of the flea. Wash the puppy's bedding to kill any fleas. Use spray insecticides to kill fleas in carpeting and other fabrics.

Q: Feed your body foods rich in vitamins and other nutrients. There are particular foods that relate to fewer symptoms of depression. These include fruit, vegetables, and fish. Foods that relate to more symptoms of depression include processed foods like processed meats, chocolates, sweet desserts, fried foods, processed cereals, and high-fat dairy. Try to eliminate these from your diet. . You may not think much about your nutrition because the effect of food is not immediate and therefore, can be difficult to observe yourself. However, it is important to pay attention to what you eat and how it makes you feel to avoid falling back into depression.  Write down a general overview of what you eat every day. You do not have to keep detailed note of every nutrient you take in because although nutrients are certainly important to remain healthy overall, the research on the relationship between specific nutrients and depression is inconclusive. Notice when you have particular moods (good or bad). Think about what food you recently ate. Track these patterns as you become more familiar with how foods affect your moods. The Mediterranean Diet is named for the region of the world where this diet is most typical. Eat meals that have lots of nuts, legumes and olive oil. This diet also avoids alcohol. Alcohol is a depressant and can make you feel worse. Avoid alcohol as much as possible. Omega-3 fatty acids and folate may have some effects in treating depression. There is no evidence that increasing intake of omega-3 or folate alone is enough to treat depression, but they can help when used with another type of therapy.
A: Eat more nutrient-rich foods. Cut down on processed foods. Keep a food diary Try the Mediterranean Diet. Avoid alcohol. Increase your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids and folate.

Q: If the broken bone fragments don't align together, the orthopedic surgeon will manipulate the pieces back into normal position — a process called reduction. In some cases, reduction can be accomplished without invasive surgery depending on the number and positioning of the bone fragments. A local anesthetic is injected into the toe to numb the pain. If the skin is broken due to the trauma, stitches will be needed to close the wound and topical antiseptics administered.  With open fractures, time is of the essence because of potential blood loss and the risk of infection or necrosis (local tissue death due to lack of oxygen). Strong painkillers such as narcotics may be prescribed until anesthesia is administered in the operating room. Sometimes with severe fractures, pins or screws may be required to hold the bones in place while they heal. Reduction isn’t just used with open compound fractures; it is also used with any fracture with significant displacement. After a reduction of your broken toe, a splint is often put in place to support and protect the toe while it heals properly. Alternatively, you may have to wear a supportive compression boot, but either way, you'll likely need the use of crutches over the short term (two weeks or so). At this stage, minimizing walking and resting with your injured foot elevated is still highly recommended.  Although splints provide support and cushioning, they don't provide much protection, so be extra careful not to bump your toe while walking. During the bone-healing phase, make sure your diet is rich in minerals, especially calcium, magnesium and boron, as well as vitamin D in order to promote bone strength. If more than one toe is broken or other bones of the forefoot are injured (such as the metatarsals), then your doctor might apply a plaster or fiberglass cast to your entire foot. Short-leg walking casts are also recommended if the fragments won't stay snugly together. Most broken bones heal successfully once they have been repositioned and are protected from further trauma or excessive pressure.  Following surgery, and especially with the help of a cast, severely broken toes take six to eight weeks to heal, depending on the location and extent of the injury. After such a long time in a cast, your foot may need some rehabilitation as described below. After a week or two, your doctor may request another set of X-rays to ensure that the bones are aligned and healing properly.
A:
Get reduction surgery. Wear a splint. Get a cast.
