Dehydration in birds

Water provides a medium for digestion, absorption, transport, metabolism, and the removal of cellular waste products out of cells. Birds do not have sweat glands, so they need less water than mammals. They lose water through respiration and in their droppings. Fresh, clean water should always be available. If a water bottle is used, you must first determine that your bird knows how to get water from the bottle. The water should be changed daily and the tip should be checked daily to make sure it is working. A 10% loss of body water can cause serious illness. Without replacement of the water which is lost, death will result. Dehydration is a serious problem that can occur within 1 to 2 days if water is unavailable.
If you are concerned about dehydration you must examine the area around your bird's eyes closely. If his eyes appear to be sunken or dull, or the skin surrounding his eyes has a wrinkled appearance your bird may be suffering from dehydration. Also do a quick check whether they have a dry mouth or tongue. If your bird has areas of skin where there are no feathers, check for dehydration by pinching gently and lifting a section of skin and then releasing it. If the skin takes longer than a second to go back into place smoothly, then your bird likely is dehydrated. Reduced skin elasticity, weakness and lethargy are common symptoms of dehydration in birds. If you notice any of these changes in your feathered pal, bring him immediately to your veterinarian.
To prevent dehydration fresh, clean water should be available at all times. Adding a little honey to the water may encourage drinking; however, the water needs to be changed frequently as bacteria grows easily in sweetened water. Commercial electrolyte replacement fluids will also help prevent dehydration.

Hair loss in cats

Natural development and growth of new hair is accompanies by the shedding of old hair. So shedding is just a stage in natural replacement of the hair coat. Some hair loss, like shedding her winter coat, is normal. But if she loses a lot of hair, there might be a problem. Shedding may be abnormal if it results in obvious loss of hair coat, symmetrical hair loss and bald spots.
There are lots of different things that can cause hair loss in your cat, including parasites, diet, psychological factors, infection, allergies or something more serious. An accurate diagnosis of the cause of hair loss requires a detailed history and physical examination. The physical examination will cover both the cat’s skin and its general health. The veterinarian will also look for signs of skin infections or parasites. Veterinarian may perform laboratory tests like smears and culture of the skin to check for bacterial, fungal, or yeast infections. If these tests do not identify or suggest an underlying cause, a skin biopsy may be performed. If your veterinarian suspects a hormonal problem, he or she may order blood and urine tests.
Successful treatment depends on the underlying cause and specific diagnosis. Because identifying the underlying cause of the skin condition may take some time, many veterinarians will provide or prescribe medication to relieve any discomfort or itching your pet has in connection with the hair loss. Balanced diets with all necessary vitamins such as A, E and the B vitamins and other nutrients can help prevent deficiencies and associated hair loss. For your cat always use a preventative treatment that protects against all parasites including fleas, mites, heartworms, ringworm and ticks.

Vaccination in kittens
Like puppies and human babies, kittens receive a certain degree of immunity is passed from their mothers at birth and also shortly thereafter through the milk. Because maternal immunity declines slowly over time, kittens should be vaccinated according to a regular schedule, beginning at 2 to 3 months of age. Vaccinations are given to stimulate the immune system against infection before exposure to disease.
Several vaccines are routinely given to cats against serious infectious illness. Core vaccines are considered vital to all cats and protect against panleukopenia (feline enteritis/feline distemper), feline calici virus, feline herpes virus type I (rhinotracheitis) and rabies
Feline panleukopenia caused by feline parvovirus with symptoms like loss of appetite, bloody diarrhea, listlessness fever and dehydration.Feline calici virus causes flu like symptoms include fever, nasal and eye discharge, mouth ulcers, lethargy, red gums and limping.Feline herpes virus infection is a highly infectious upper respiratory infection with symptoms like eyes and nose discharge, sneezing, fever, loss of appetite and corneal ulcers.
Rabies is a fatal disease that can affect not only cats but also many other animals, including humans. Your kitten can receive a rabies vaccination as early as 12 weeks of age, but this depends on state laws and the veterinarian.
Non-core vaccines are given depending on the cat's lifestyle; these include vaccines for feline leukemia virus, Bordetella, Chylamydophila felis and feline immunodeficiency virus. Your veterinarian can determine what vaccines are best for your cat.
Traditionally, booster vaccinations on the core vaccine have been given every year throughout the cat’s life to ensure ongoing protection. Non-core vaccines are boostered annually, but only for those cats at risk for the particular disease. Restricting access to unvaccinated cats until the full series of vaccinations has been given is important to avoid disease.

Chocolate toxicity in

Chocolate is derived from the roasted seeds of Theobroma cacao, which contains the both theobromine and caffeine. The ingredient in chocolate that causes the toxicity is theobromine which is toxic to animals especially, dogs. The amount of theobromine varies widely between chocolate products. In general, milk chocolate contains less theobromine than dark chocolate, which contains less than baker’s chocolate.. Milk chocolate contains1.6–2.1 mg/g , semi-sweet ordark chocolate contains 4.6–6.5 mg/g and unsweetened (baking) chocolate contains 5.3–21.1 mg/g. Cocoa powder contains 4.6–6.5 mg/g .
Toxic doses of theobromine are reported to be as low as 20 mg/kg, where agitation, hyperactivity and gastrointestinal signs such drooling, vomiting and diarrhoea can be seen. At doses around 40 mg/kg cardiac signs such as increased heart rate, high blood pressure or even cardiac aarhythmias. At doses around 60 mg/kg neurologic signs canbe seen, which include tremors and twitching. Death can occur at around 200mg/kg or when complications occur.

Clinical signs of chocolate poisoning can take several hours to develop and will last for days due to the long half life of theobromine in blood. It is very important to seek medical attention if you suspect that your dog has eaten chocolate.

Treatment depends on the amount and type of chocolate eaten. Gastric decontamination may be performed as indicated by the time from exposure and the patient’s mental and cardiovascular status. Induction of vomiting to remove chocolate from stomach, activated charcoal tablet to reduce the resorption and recirculation of theobromine and supportive treatments such as intravenous fluid therapy to dilute the toxin in the body are the some important treatment steps.

Though it may not be harmful to the dog in small quantities, it is safer to avoid giving chocolate to dogs in general. As with everything else, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Benefits of keeping a
Animals have been a central feature of human life for many thousands of years. Evidence suggests that pet keeping has been practiced continuously throughout human history
In today's world almost everyone experiences stress on a daily basis. When thinking of ways to reduce stress in life, usually techniques like meditation, yoga and deep breathing come to mind. These are great techniques, to be sure. But getting a new best friend can also have many stress relieving and health benefits. In my opinion, there is nothing better in this world than the unconditional love you get from a dog or cat or any pet in your life. Animals have been demonstrated to improve human cardiovascular health, reduce stress, decrease loneliness and depression, and facilitate social interactions among people who choose to have pets.
Pets are beneficial to children also. They are thought to teach responsibility, build empathy, more positive behavior among children and promote concern for animals and the natural world. Other studies document that children exposed to pets in early life experience enhanced immune function with some exceptions.
Recent work on the hormonal basis of the human-animal bond has shown oxytocin peaks in both people and their dogs when they interact positively. This ‘feel good’ hormone is also released when people are in close physical contact and suppresses the production of cortisol, the stress hormones.
Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is often used to describe any situation where an animal is brought into a therapeutic setting. The therapeutic use of pets to enhance the mental and physical health of a wide variety of individuals, including people with AIDS or cancer, older adults living in institutions, and individuals with mental illness, has received increasing amounts of attention. The most recognized role for assistance animals is as guide dogs for those with impaired sight.
