2008-11-29 Feral hogs destroying property in Austin

Not to mention neighborhood pets. Hogs are resistant to a disease called Pseudorabies, but dogs arent. If a dog tries to defend its yard against wild pigs and their noses come in contact, the disease may be transmitted, and it can be fatal to dogs.

The ones that were concerned about with people are Brucella and Leptospirosis," said Bodenchuk. "But theres several other diseases they could pass on to wildlife or livestock. "

2008-11-28 IRAQ: Iraq security forces take aim at stray dogs Babylon and Beyond Los Angeles Times

Some lucky ones, like the puppy pictured above, get taken in by sympathetic U. S. soldiers who raise them on their bases and often try to take them home when they redeploy to the United States. But those dogs are not immune from the diseases that Baghdad officials say make the citys street hounds so dangerous. In June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that an Iraqi dog that had been adopted by U. S. forces and brought to the United States had rabies. The 11-month-old dog had lived the previous seven months on a U. S. base with the soldier but had not been vaccinated. Shortly after arriving in the U. S. , it fell ill and had to be euthanized.

2008-11-28 Remember that we have much for which to be thankful Springfield News-Leader

One of lifes richest blessings is to be the recipient of unconditional love. Recently I was involved in a class where we talked about unconditional love -- the kind that Christians know they get from God. There are also lots of examples of unconditional love around us, if we just take the time to think about it. One that jumps out at me is that love I get from my dog. Anyone who has a dog knows that they love you all day, every day; no matter what kind of day you had, your dog will love you. That, my friend, is unconditional love.

2008-11-28 Treat the Immune System, Not Just the Infection

In late 2005, Angus was found to have anal furunculosis (boils). He was on high-dose antibiotics, ketoconazole and Atopica, for nearly a year before it was under control. The drugs made him sick, and he was depressed. I asked my vet whether his diet had anything to do with his getting this disease, and she said no. He has been on Atopica since his diagnosis, and it seems to keep his rear from flaring into an infection. I give him one 100-milligram tablet three times a week and wipe his rear every time he has a bowel movement to keep the area clean. He tolerates the Atopica well, but Id rather treat him holistically, if possible.

2008-11-28 Treat your dog to a healthy Thanksgiving The Coloradoan,

Were lucky if pancreatitis limits itself to the pancreas. In severe cases, the inflammation can extend throughout the entire body. Without aggressive care, these dogs die. Even if the dog recovers from the acute phase of this disease, permanent damage to the pancreas can cause diabetes. And a dog that has had one bout of pancreatitis is at increased risk for further episodes for life, even without a dietary trigger.

As the dogs gastrointestinal, or GI, tract attempts to deal with the hand it has been dealt, reflux of intestinal contents can occur back into the pancreatic duct, which dumps digestive enzymes into the small intestine. This causes activation of digestive enzymes within the pancreas, where they are supposed to stay inactive to prevent auto-digestion of the organ. They are, after all, designed to digest things. The result is severe inflammation to the pancreas, causing vomiting, diarrhea, fever and a painful abdomen.

2008-11-27 Cyberchondria Is No Joke

Neurotic self-diagnosis is usually common among med students. They study the diseases carefully and take in every symptom and, before they know it, every headache is a brain tumor and every pimple is skin cancer. The same thing happens to anyone who reads all the possible symptoms of most given diseases. If you read the symptoms of Ebola, for instance, you will be convinced that your fever is a sign that you have contracted the deadly virus.
