Medical calculations, part 2, Veterinary Pharmacology Hi this is dr. Herndon and this is part two of our review of medical  calculations. In this article i will be  explaining and demonstrating how to  calculate a drug dose and how to  calculate an amount of a drug that we're  going to administer to a patient. In order to be able to do these  calculations we need to know three  things: you need to know the animal's  body weight,  the drug dosage rate, and the drug  concentration. A word about the terms  dose and dosage: these two terms are often used interchangeably. It's important to know the difference, and for our purposes a dose of a drug is  what we're going to be calculating. It's  the quantity of drug active ingredient  that's delivered to a patient at one  particular time. So you'll often see a drug dose written  as 20 milligrams or 20 units. A  dosage rate, however this is something we  don't have to calculate. A dosage rate is  goi

As with humans, cancer rates among our animal friends are constantly increasing If a mass develops on or under an animal skin, it could be a tumor. This tumor can be treated, considerably increasing the life expectancy of the animal. Numerous treatments exist, notably an innovative technology: electrochemotherapy. One session takes about 20 minutes. The animal is anesthetized, then the tumor is cleaned and disinfected. The doctor then proceeds to apply linear retro-tracing injections of the chemotherapy drug every 6 mm, intratumorally. Pulsed electric fields are then applied to the whole surface of the tumor, as well as a 1 cm margin around the tumor. The pulsed electric fields render the tumor’s cells permeable, allowing the cytotoxic product to efficiently penetrate the tumor cell’s walls. The DNA cleavage breaks lead to apoptotic cell death and prevents cell division. During the 10 days that follow the session, the dead tumor cells are completely ev

Multi Radiance Medical, the global leader in the development and manufacturing of super pulsed lasers, is setting the new standard for veterinary laser therapy with the ACTIVet PRO, a cordless, ultra-portable laser therapy system that combines high-power super pulsed lasers with infrared, red and blue LEDs. The synergistic optimization activates the entire phototherapeutic window, significantly reducing treatment times and delivering consistent, reproducible outcomes. The MR4 ACTIVet PRO's super pulsed laser produces a burst of highly focused peak power light at a billionth of a second. It's so fast with each burst that it eliminates overheating of the skin. The result is a low thermal influence on the skin from maximizing the dose to the target and the beneficial phototherapeutic effect. Super pulsed laser therapy is the most effective method to promote natural healing on both companion and equine animals. Clinically, it improves bon

Herbal Veterinary Medicine Part 1 The history of animal husbandry is as old as the civilization of mankind. Our dependence on animals for ploughing, milk products, manure, meat, wool etc. is well known. Man developed his own methods for management, feeding and health protection of his domestic animals. Naturally the animals know some self medication. Dogs and cats eat green grass and vomit in case of indigestation. Man observed the nature and formulated the herbal medicines in trial and error method. Ayurveda has the collection of such medicines and practices for human beings. Even the traditional herbal medicines which have no documentation are also equally important. Ayurveda explains the human health science in depth. But there is no such documentation for the treatment of animals. We can find few references in the literatures of our folk cultures. In recent years the dairying has taken commercial shape with exotic milk breeds. Allopathic medi
