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 to a head

CARING OF CATS PART 3

Dental care  Dental disease is quite common in cats, especially as they get older. You should get your cat’s teeth regularly checked by your vet.

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 to choose whe

  Cats can be independent and are considered the ideal pet for people with busy lifestyles, but they still need to be looked after. You should be prepared to spend time playing with and grooming your cat, as well as being a companion to them. By following the advice in this leaflet, you can do your best to ensure you have a happy and healthy cat.  Food:  Cats should be fed a complete, balanced, good quality meatbased food; they cannot be vegetarians. There are a multitude of different brands of cat food on the market, but there are two main types to choose from; wet and dry. Fresh wet food should be replaced at least twice daily and dry food at least once daily. Do follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommended amounts. Once neutered, cats typically have reduced energy needs, so consider reducing their daily amount accordingly. Food should be placed in an area where the cat feels safe and away from their water bowl and litter tray. If your cat eats dry food, using f

ACUTE RUMINAL IMPACTION IN CATTLE

Impaction in dairy animals refers to the failure of digestion, slow passage and accumulation of feed in one or more of the stomach compartments leading to constipation or absence of dung .  In last few years this condition has emerged as one of the most common digestive disorder in dairy animals of Punjab.

DOG DISEASES: PART 2

Image
INTERNAL PARASITES:  The most common internal intestinal parasites are tapeworms and roundworms.  TAPEWORMS:  Tapeworms are long, segmented worms. They are transmitted when a dog ingests a larval stage of the worm found in a flea or the raw meat of small mammals. A dog that hunts on its own or has had fleas will likely develop tapeworms. Individual tapeworm segments are easily seen in freshly passed feaces or around the anus of an infected dog. Special dewormers are required for treatment.  ROUNDWORMS:  The roundworm classification encompasses many worm types, including Ascarids, hookworms, whipworms, and heartworms. The intestinal worms are transmitted by the ingestion of faces or faces-contaminated soil that contains worm eggs. The transmission of the heart worm, however requires an intermediate host such as a mosquito for propagation. Your veterinarian will perform a specialized microscopic examination of feaces (for intestinal worms) or blood (for heartworms) to deter

DOG HEALTH

Common Dog Diseases and Health Problems  Whether your dog is a working companion, champion show animal, hunting partner, or just a best friend, the kindest and most responsible thing you can do for him is to provide proper health care. Knowing about common dog diseases and being aware of appropriate prevention and treatment can better help you provide that care. Many Diseases Can Be Prevented Some of the most common and serious dog diseases have been made less common through vaccines: however, these diseases continue to threaten a dog that lacks proper immunization. Puppies many be vaccinated as early as 4-6 weeks depending on each situation and the veterinarian’s advice. Through mother’s milk, puppies receive diseasefighting antibodies, which last 6-16 weeks. Vaccinations then take over. Yearly boosters should be given throughout your dog’s life, including old age when your dog may become more susceptible to some diseases. The following diseases can be prevented through vac

Cat Diseases :                         Vaccinations protect cats from some of the most serious cat diseases. Prevention through vaccination is essential since these diseases are difficult, if not impossible, to treat. Vaccinations are the best insurance you can buy for your cat. All cats should be vaccinated; even indoor cats that never go outdoors. Some diseases are caused by viruses that are airborne or that could be carried indoors on your shoes or clothing, so that an indoor cat without immunity could easily be infected. Kittens receive some disease-fighting antibodies from their mother’s milk, but these antibodies do not last past 6 to 8 weeks of age. Kittens should start receiving vaccinations at 6 to 8 weeks. Once a kitten is immunized, vaccinations should be boosted yearly or according to the veterinarian’s recommendations. No vaccination confers lifetime immunity. The following diseases are preventable through vaccination  Distemper.  Feline panleukopenia is the name
