When the weather gets warm, my son comes home from his workout, and uses the outdoor shower. Our ducks love it! They come right into the water with him. He doesn't seem to mind and is done quickly. Then the ducks splash arround on the wet drain stones for a few minutes. But, I'm worried that the ducks will drink some suds and get sick. My son thinks the biggest problem we might have is very clean ducks. Anyone have the amswer?Will shampoo and soap hurt pet ducks?
It appears your son is correct.
';Once stable, oiled birds go through a series of tub washes alternating between baths with a one percent solution of Dawn dishwashing liquid and clean water. The wash time varies depending on the amount of oil, and the size of the bird, but on average it takes two people 45 minutes and 300 gallons of water to do a thorough washing.
After being washed, the birds are put in net bottom cages with warm air dryers. The final steps are to put them in warm water pools, where they continue to preen, and finally into cold pools. Birds in rehabilitation are checked constantly to make sure that they are completely waterproofed and when their blood work and weight are in the normal range, they are banded and released.
We thank Procter and Gamble for the countless donations of Dawn dishwashing liquid that they have contributed over the years.';Will shampoo and soap hurt pet ducks?
Soap and water will not hurt your pet duck. If you use the right kind of soap and water then you will be okay.
well, if the swallow some they shouldn't get too sick, maybe just belly aches. If your going towash them, use babay shampoo or even better, Duck or Bird feather cleaner. Something that won't strip the natural oil from their feathers. Hope hat helps.

Is there a reason why lather is always white no matter what color the soap, shampoo or detergent is?
Because you are seeing reflected light, and typically the light source in your bathroom/kitchen is white light from a bulb or from sunlight. ';Color'; is perception based on the reflected wavelengths of light; surfaces absorb some wavelengths and reflect others. We see the reflected wavelengths. When something ';looks'; white it is typically because it's reflecting all or almost all wavelengths of light.Is there a reason why lather is always white no matter what color the soap, shampoo or detergent is?
Lather some up just a little and estimate the reflectivity of the individual bubbles. Looks like 20% or so. In penetrating just the outer 0.01 inch or so of the fully developed lather structure a light ray encounters many of those surfaces, each reflecting a further percentage of the light that reaches that far.
The shampoo coloration isn't very dense when you look at it in the bottle. The lather is perhaps 10% shampoo and 90% air. So as it is being successively more totally reflected, the light ray passes through only a microscopic thickness of actual shampoo. As another answer said, if the incident light is white, that's what you'll see reflected as the apparent color of the lather.Is there a reason why lather is always white no matter what color the soap, shampoo or detergent is?
I think I've seen green lather with like pert plus or something...
I don't know- interesting question though!

Should I wash my dog with Dish soap or Kitten shampoo?
As i have no money and only have these available, should I use Dawn dish soap or Magic coat( A tearless shampoo for cats and kittens) to wash my poodle?Should I wash my dog with Dish soap or Kitten shampoo?
I've used human shampoo on my dog in a pinch but it was Johnson and Johnsons No More Tears Baby Shampoo...I use it to wash the dogs face.
Unless the dog absolutely needs a bath right now, you can wait until you get the right kind of shampoo. Dogs don't need baths too often anyway. Give him a good brushing and see if it helps.
Everyone gets stuck between paydays. I understand...just get some dog shampoo when you get paid.Should I wash my dog with Dish soap or Kitten shampoo?
I'd go with the Cat shampoo as Dawn dishsoap is very harsh. Just make sure you don't shampoo your dog too often because it will strip the natural and essential oils from your dog's skin. If you can go as long as a month, that would be the best for her, but if you can't wait that long it's recommended that you at least wait to do it every 10 days. Whenever you have a little money to spare, it would be great if you could get a natural, high quality shampoo that doesn't have harsh detergents in it. I recommend Doc. Ackermans Colloidal Oatmeal Shampoo or Cloud Star Buddy Wash Lavender %26amp; Mint.

Stick to a shampoo made specifically for dogs. The dollar store offers dog shampoo for just $1. I'm not sure about the cat shampoo, but I know that dish detergent is NOT good for the dog's skin. It will irritate the skin. You'd be better off just using water and making sure you thoroughly rinse the dog.
The kitten shampoo would be MUCH better than dish soap or baby shampoo, both of which are too harsh for a dog's coat and skin. Why exactly does the poodle need a bath? Unless he rolled in something stinky or ran in mud, the dog probably doesn't need to be washed in anything.
I used dog shampoo, but if I didn't have that option, I would definitely go with Dawn. My vet recommended that to me, anyway. Just make sure dilute it and rinse well, as someone has already said.
I would have to imagine that the kitten shampoo is close if not the same as the puppy shampoo. I would use that. Although they do us Dawn for wildlife animals that are caught in the oil spills. Anyways I would use the kitten shampoo.
if you don't have money how do you care for your dog?! If you don't have money you shouldn't have a dog. What if it were to get sick.
Get dog shampoo or you will cause discomfort to your dog.
The Dawn is fine if you dilute it (put an inch in the bottom of a shampoo bottle, fill the rest with water), and make sure you rinse VERY well.
I would suggest a second job or a good friend who wants a poodle.
Also I would suggest the kitten shampoo, at least it's designed for mammals (not dishware).
Neither!!! There are all kinds of shampoo's on the market specifically for dogs. How did you afford a poodle, but you can't afford proper shampoo???
DO NOT use the dawn....it will dry your puppy skin too much....the kitten shampoo is about the same as puppy shampoo so use that....and put some conditioner on it after that and rinse
i would use baby shampoo as dish washing liquid may be a bit harsh on the skin and a cat shampoo is formulated for cats coats only
If ya wash your dog in kitten shampoo he may start meowing. Use baby shampoo

What happens if a guy jacks off with soap or shampoo and has sex with a girl 3 hours later. Any infections?
No infections, soap and shampoo both cleanse.What happens if a guy jacks off with soap or shampoo and has sex with a girl 3 hours later. Any infections?
Great--so now people are stoopid enough so that we have to put labels on soap and shampoo that say ';Not for internal feminine use';? The guy doesn't become aware of a rash? The girl doesn't think it's suspicious when she blows bubbles after oral?What happens if a guy jacks off with soap or shampoo and has sex with a girl 3 hours later. Any infections?
No, it's soap, it is self cleaning.

What kind of shampoo or soap do i use to wash my guinea pig?
I wouldn't bath him, but if you must, use baby shampoo.What kind of shampoo or soap do i use to wash my guinea pig?
ursWhat kind of shampoo or soap do i use to wash my guinea pig?
go to this web...its good...i hope it helps...it helped me....and you can find out lots more abt g.p on the web....
you can buy small animal shampoo. that will be fine for them to use, just make sure that when they come out of the bath keep them in a warm place otherwise they will get cold/sick, small animal shampoo/conditioner is really cheap to buy and lasts a while.
x
Use baby shampoo, it's gentle.
It is definitely ok to bathe a guinea pig so don't listen to people when they tell it is not. They get oily and they get bedding and stuff next to their skin which makes them itch. Just make sure when you bathe them there is a towel or a washcloth on the floor of the tub or sink, wherever you plan to bathe the little guy. He will freak out if he cannot get a grip on the ';floor.';
Anyway, DO NOT USE BABY SHAMPOO!! Or any kind of people shampoo. The pH is all wrong and it will give your piggy a skin condition all its own.
Either use an oatmeal puppy shampoo or a bunny shampoo. I prefer the oatmeal puppy shampoo because the bunny shampoo is very perfumey and the oatmeal is much better for piggies because their skin tends to be dry.
Make sure you rinse really really well, and towel them dry. Do not blow them dry, but cover their cage in a towel and put a towel in their house to cuddle in until they are dry so they don't get too chilled.
Then you will have a fresh smelling, soft, clean piggy! Also try to keep the water out of the ears.
Good luck!

go to pets mart of pet co and they would have some
guniea pigs should not be washed unless they have a skin condition which means they need medicated shampoo from a vet
Hello gr8huagirl,
I help to run a guinea pig rescue with my friend, you do not need anything special all you need in a mild anti-bacterial soap will work just fine. Just make sure you keep the water out of eyes ears and nose, My personal piggies love to swim and getting blow-dried.
