The Benefits of Pets: Why Owning One is Good for Your Health Pets are more than just cuddly ,cute and lovely companions. They offer a range of benefits that can improve your physical, mental, and emotional health. Research has shown that owning a pet can lower your stress levels, reduce your risk of heart disease, and even improve your social life. In this article, we'll explore some of the ways that pets can benefit your health and why you should consider adding one to your family. 1- Lower Stress Levels Pets are natural stress-relievers. Spending time with a pet can lower your cortisol levels, which is the hormone associated with stress. This can reduce your blood pressure and help you feel more relaxed overall. Pets also offer unconditional love and support, which can be particularly helpful during difficult times. 2-Improved Heart Health Owning a pet can also improve your heart health. Research has shown that pet owners have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which ca

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

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

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

NEW CASTLE DISEAES ND

What is Newcastle disease and what causes it? definition   Newcastle disease is a contagious viral disease of birds and considered one of the most important poultry diseases worldwide. The disease can vary from mild to severe. A highly contagious and severe form of the disease, called exotic Newcastle disease (END), is so deadly that many birds die suddenly without showing any signs of disease.  What animals get Newcastle disease?  susceptability  Both domestic and wild birds can be affected by Newcastle disease. Chickens are very susceptible to the disease. Turkeys, ducks, geese, as well as parrots, pigeons and wild cormorants can also get END. How can my animal get Newcastle disease? Newcastle disease is spread by direct contact with the droppings or respiratory discharges of infected birds. The virus can live for a long time in the environment and can be spread by objects (fomites), such as shoes, clothing, and equipment, that have become contaminated by infected birds. Out
