The Sims 2 Pets how to’s

What do you do when your cat or dog doesn’t look so good? It can’t tell you what’s wrong so you take it to your vet because unlike Dr. Doolittle, people can’t communicate with their furry bestfriends. Apparently, pet woes are not limited to the real world. Pet problems strike virtual pet lovers, too. Here’s Pets 101 from tmrcx for The Sims 2 Pets so you can play Dr. Doolittle yourself:

• Flu – Use a Stethoscope when examining the pet and it tell you that it has a flu. Purchase some “Pet Medicine” from Vets B Us (catalog) and have the pet drink the meds for three days.
• Fleas – Brush the pet’s coat to check for fleas. If the pet has them, buy some “Flea Shampoo” from Frugal Felines (catalog) and give the pet a bath. Repeat it for three days.
• Worms – Feed the pet a snack to check for worms. Buy some “Worm-b-gone” from catalogs Bone Cheap or Frugal Felines and have the pet drink this for three days.
• Filthy – The owner of the pet will tell you that his or her pet smells. Give the pet a bath with the shampoo specifically for it. Filthy pets are kept for one day and should be checked for fleas.
• Ugly – The owner of the pet will tell you that their pet is ugly. Keep the pet for a day and dress it up with pet clothes.
• Broken Bone/Limb – Use an X-ray to determine if the pet has broken bones. Buy bandages from the catalogs and a Neck Cone. The pet should be kept for five days to be sure that the fractures mend completely.
• Lodged Item – X-ray the pet to check if it has swallowed any foreign objects. An Extractor from Vets B Us would be just the thing to get the thing out of the pet. Be sure to get the lodged item within a day.

Aspiring vets can’t be blamed for being forgetful at times, players can check the owner’s instructions by pressing the R trigger. Also, owners might not pick up their pets first thing in the morning so you have time to finish some tasks you forgot.
