FOWL CHOLERA

Image
DEFINITION: Fowl cholera is a contagious, bacterial disease that affects domestic and wild birds worldwide. It usually occurs as a septicemia of sudden onset with high morbidity and mortality, but chronic and asymptomatic infections also occur. Etiology and Transmission: Pasteurella multocida , Chronically infected birds and asymptomatic carriers are considered to be major sources of infection. Wild birds may introduce the organism into a poultry flock, but mammals (including rodents, pigs, dogs, and cats) may also carry the infection. However, the role of these as a reservoir has not been thoroughly investigated. Dissemination of P multocida within a flock and between houses is primarily by excretions from the mouth, nose, and conjunctiva of diseased birds that contaminate their environment. In addition, P multocida survives long enough to be spread by contaminated crates, feed bags, shoes, and other equipment. The ...

PIGEON DISEASES

Image
Pigeon Fever  During the past few months we have seen a large number of horses in our practice area with “Pigeon Fever”.  It is a disease caused by specific bacteria called Corynebacterium Pseudotuberculosis . It has absolutely nothing to do with pigeons other than the fact that the affected horses often look like they have a “pigeon breast” due to the swelling and abscess (boil) formation in the chest area. It is believed that the bacteria are transmitted by biting flies or possibly migration of parasites. The most common places for the abscesses to form are in the chest and belly region, the sheath of males and the udder of mares, although the abscesses can appear almost anywhere. These infections are often noticed just as generalized swelling of the chest or belly which is called “edema” (fluid retention under the skin). As the abscess progresses, a more discrete smaller swelling will often appear within the generalized swelling which is the actual abscess coming ...

CARING OF CATS PART 2

Grooming marvellous :  Cats are very clean animals and like to groom themselves, but sometimes they may need a little help. Long-haired cats should be brushed daily to stop their coat becoming tangled. If they are not regularly groomed fur can become matted and uncomfortable. These mats may need to be removed under anaesthetic by a vet. Short-haired cats will probably only need to be groomed once a week. Older cats may struggle to look after their coats and require gentle grooming to help to keep their skin healthy. Grooming also gives you some valuable bonding time with your cat. If you are struggling to groom your cat, ask your vet for advice as referral to a suitably qualified behaviourist or a competent groomer may be useful to avoid the development of problems.  Indoor or outdoor?:  Indoor cats need extra consideration to keep them mentally stimulated. For cats given access outside, consider providing a microchip or magnetic cat flap to allow them the freedom...
