Rabies, a Danger Closer Than You Think Rabies, a Danger Closer Than You Think It's time for us to understand more about this disease so that we can safely cope and help stop the spread of rabies. Rabies is caused by the Rabies virus (pronounced Rabies) that destroys the central nervous system, causing madness. The rabies virus is spread through the saliva of animals that are carriers of the disease through a bite, making the disease contagious to humans and other animals. After being infected, symptoms will appear within 21 to 60 days. This virus is destroyed by heat, sunlight, and dryness. It is also easily destroyed by soap and water and common disinfectants...
Dog owners often worry about whether to neuter their dogs due to fears about possible side effects. But neutering can have more positive effects on dogs than many people realize.
What is arthritis? Arthritis is a degenerative condition of the joints that results in pain and loss of joint function, subsequently affecting surrounding bones and tissues. Management requires a multifaceted approach, including medication to reduce and alleviate symptoms, and other management factors. Obesity is one factor that needs to be managed. Weight and arthritis: Normally, joints function well under balanced pressure from the animal's weight due to improved synovial fluid circulation, increased waste drainage, and nutrient flow. However, in overweight animals, excessive pressure on the joints can lead to damage to the cartilage surrounding the joints and eventually the development of arthritis. Body fat and arthritis: Studies have shown that animals with high levels of body fat produce higher levels of inflammatory mediators that affect cartilage, joints, and the synovial membrane, ultimately leading to joint degeneration and inflammation. Can weight loss help reduce joint inflammation? Research has shown that overweight animals experience reduced weight-bearing on their legs, while conversely, losing weight allows for increased leg weight-bearing and can reduce the severity or delay the onset of arthritis. In short, being overweight negatively impacts leg use and can predispose to arthritis. Therefore, owners should pay close attention to their pets, including providing appropriate nutrition, regular exercise, and regularly checking for any abnormalities related to arthritis.
Makrut, a stray cat, approximately 5 years old, was brought in for treatment by his owner with skin sores spreading across his face, nose, body, legs, and tail. The sores were raised, with some areas becoming pitted and filled with blood and lymph. Veterinarians examined cells from the sores and found a deep fungal infection, known as Sporotrichosis. The disease is most commonly caused by the Sporotrix schenckii bacteria, a common environmental pathogen transmitted through wounds or bites. It can also be transmitted to mammals such as dogs or…
Pyometra When you raise a female dog, you should know about this disease because it is dangerous and can cause our dogs to die. "Pyometra" is a reproductive system disease that is common in dogs and cats. This disease is caused by the hormone progesterone. When a female dog is out of heat, this hormone normally decreases. But in dogs that do not breed, this hormone induces the endometrial gland to enlarge, forming a sac called Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) and also stimulates the production of more secretions in the uterus. The uterus during this period will contract less...
