Your gerbil should not be in his cage during cleaning as the chemicals can be harmful to his skin and fur. Before cleaning the cage, gently take your gerbil out of their cage and put him in a safe place where he cannot escape.  Find a secure area where your gerbil will not get hurt. Keep him away from other animals, especially cats and dogs as they might be predatory towards gerbils.  A bucket is a good choice, as the gerbil will not be able to jump or climb out. You might also consider purchasing a running ball for your gerbil, which can be found at most pet and department stores, so your gerbil can ran and play while you clean his cage.  If your gerbil seems nervous, move something from his cage, such as a toy or a piece of bedding, to the new location. That way, he'll have something familiar as comfort. Also, try leaving him alone, so he will not feel so overwhelmed. Any equipment in the gerbil's cage, especially items he eats or drinks from, should be removed before you begin the cleaning process.  Litter should be periodically cleaned, but when you do a thorough cage cleaning you should remove all litter and replace it with fresh litter when you're done. Remove the litter before you begin the cleaning process.  Soap suds in a food bowl or water bottle can easily harm your gerbil and cause stomach issues and general discomfort. While you should clean these items, they should be cleaned separately as you'll be using less soap then you would on the cage in general. Make sure you have cleaning supplies ready before you begin the cleaning process. Being in the cage can be stressful for your gerbil and you do not want to prolong the cleaning process.  All you need to clean a gerbil's cage is mild soap and water. No special cleaners are necessary and might actually be harmful to your pet. Never used ammonia-based products. These can be harmful to your gerbil, even when rinsed off thoroughly.

One-sentence summary -- Put your gerbil in a safe place while you clean the cage. Remove litter, the food dish, water bottle, and toys from the cage. Gather the necessary cleaning supplies.

Q: This will help you figure out the best method to clean a stain off of your tie and prevent you from ruining it. If you are unsure about the fabric, it is always better to treat the tie delicately and keep it out of the washing machine. These products act to absorb stains immediately after they happen. Leave the talcum powder or cornstarch on your tie for a few hours, and then shake it off. If the stain still shows, you can repeat the process. Find a dry cleaner who knows specifically how to clean a tie, but only if all else fails. A regular cleaning service may be able to remove the stain, but it will also press the tie flat, altering its appearance dramatically. The specialist will be able to remove the offending marks without changing its shape, although it might require the disassembly and reconstruction of the tie.  At that point, you will have to decide if the purchase of a new tie might be more cost-effective. Be sure to always read the instructions for the tie on the label. Most ties will instruct you to wash by hand or dry clean only.
A: Check the label to determine the fabric content of your tie. Cover grease, oil, or ink stains with talcum powder or cornstarch. Choose a dry cleaner for difficult stains or delicate ties.

Article: As soon as the puppy's heart begins to beat, stop performing chest compressions and focus on stimulating the puppy. Continue giving breaths if its breathing is not yet regular and strong.  Using light, careful pressure, vigorously rub the puppy with a towel. Gently turn the puppy over in your hands several times. If it’s a newborn or still very small, grab the puppy by the scruff of its neck several times as well. While stimulating the puppy, you may still need to provide a few puffs of air every 20 to 30 seconds to keep its lungs pumping. Once the puppy's heart starts beating, you should continue rubbing and turning the puppy in your hands for at least 20 minutes.  Most puppies that revive after receiving emergency CPR will stabilize after 20 minutes. If the puppy's heart does not start beating within 5 minutes of treatment, however, it is unlikely that the puppy will revive. All newborn puppies should be closely monitored for several days, but it is especially important to keep a close eye on puppies who needed to be revived upon birth.  One of the most important things you can do is keep the puppy warm. Puppies that get chilled during the first week of life can easily weaken and die. Provide hot water bottles, heating pads, heating lamps, and plenty of warm blankets in an effort to keep the box it stays in at a minimum constant temperature of 85 °F (29 °C). Professional veterinary care is also strongly recommended. If you have not already called the veterinarian, do so after the mother has given birth to the remainder of her puppies. Let the veterinarian know about any puppies you needed to revive and follow their instructions on additional aftercare.

Stimulate the puppy once it shows signs of life. Keep stimulating the puppy for at least 20 minutes. Monitor the puppy closely.

Article: To treat your IBS, talk to your doctor about taking acidophilus probiotic for 6 weeks. Choose a probiotic supplement, such as Proviva or Lacteol Fort, that contains viable lyophilized bacteria species including lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, and streptococcus. This can be taken in a drink or capsule form. When you are buying one, make sure the supplement contains 10 billion CFU of lactobacillus acidophilus. You should take this supplement twice per day.  Some people find it beneficial to take digestive enzymes along with probiotics to really heal the gut and provide help with digestion. Acidophilus bacteria colonizes in the large intestine. It can help to repair damage due to IBS and help control diarrhea and constipation. Taking acidophilus can cause additional gas or diarrhea for the first few days of treatment. The diarrhea should go away and your gas should be reduced after your body adjusts. See a doctor if you have diarrhea for more than 2 days and discontinue use of the supplement. You can use acidophilus to help prepare your body for the issues it goes through when you take an antibiotic. Consult with your doctor about counteracting the side effects by taking an acidophilus supplement containing lactobacillus when going on a course of antibiotics. This is necessary because antibiotics kill both harmful and friendly bacteria. You can recolonize the good bacteria through the use of at least 20 billion CFU per day, which is available in a products such as Culturelle. Take the acidophilus 2 hours before or after you take an antibiotic pill. Antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the active cultures, so staggering them with other pills will help. Sometimes when you go on trips, you suffer from traveler's diarrhea. To help prevent this, choose an acidophilus brand that does not break down under normal temperatures, as most acidophilus does, and one that doesn't need to be refrigerated. This will make it easier to take with you when traveling. Take 2 billion CFU of a Lactobacillus GG supplement, such as Culturelle, for every day of travel to prevent traveler's diarrhea. Buy capsules that can easily be tucked away in your luggage. Since the vagina naturally contains acidophilus, you may want to talk to a doctor about using a supplement to treat some bacterial based issues that occur in that region. For vaginal yeast infections, acidophilus can be taken orally or with suppositories. Take 1 to 2 tablets of oral medicines such as Gynoflor. These tablets should contain at least 10 million CFUs per tablet and 0.3 mg estriol. Take this dose for 6 days, or according to the doctor's or package's instructions.  You can also use a vaginal suppository, such as Vivag, that contains 100 million to 1 billion CFUs. Insert it twice daily for 6 days. If you use vaginal suppositories, an increase in discharge most likely will occur.
