Diseases/Conditions Parasites By Susan Rimkus and Pat McKay (as posted to the Wellpet list) Hi all - just figured out that one of my dogs has worms. Two questions: 1 - natural dewormers? pretty sure it's tapeworm. 2 - can anyone provide me with an argument against the "worms come from raw meat" line? Thanks, Susan Rimkus With regard to parasites, worms in particular, I talked extensively with Arthur Endo, DVM, the Head of the Department of Meat and Poultry Inspection of the State of California back in 1993. According to Dr Endo, Federal and State inspectors examine farm animals for parasites and bacteria. The animals are observed while being processed at meat plants and wholesale companies. In looking for parasites, sometimes the actual worm is seen and sometimes the inspectors can tell by the damage done to the tissue, especially to the liver, kidneys and heart. If diseases or damage to the tissue is observed, further inspection is conducted and that animal may be pulled from the food-fit-for-human-consumption area and sold to commercial pet food companies.

Home Campaigns Vegetarianism March 2001 ANIMAL DISEASES And modern farming practices When animals are exploited and stressed through modern farming systems, many will get sick and infirm. The consumer also often has to pay a price from eating unhealthy animals. As part of our Veggie Month campaign , we provide key background to animal diseases and modern farming practices. Concern, often verging on panic, about the safety of food has been the stuff of headlines for the last decade. Whether the issue is BSE, salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli 0157, scrapie, swine fever, bovine TB, or now foot and mouth disease , the common factor to all these scares is that they relate to the flesh and secretions of animals. The farming industry - backed by politicians - often seeks to scapegoat an innocent animal species for these outbreaks. For instance, badgers are blamed for bovine TB, wild boar for the swine fever outbreak amongst shed-reared pigs, and wild birds for giving factory reared chickens Newcastle's disease. But the real lesson is clear for anyone who wishes to learn it: the more we stress and exploit animals under modern systems of intensive rearing, the weaker the animals will become and the more they will fall prey to disease. When people then eat any part of the diseased and enfeebled bodies of these animals, they run an increasingly high risk of themselves becoming ill. Record levels of food poisoning demonstrate this point. As does the BSE catastrophe, which translates into vCJD when people are afflicted.

Board of Regents Search Universities Agencies Health Science Center News/Media System Administration Human Resources Publications Policies Community Resources Special Connections Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory Established: 1969 Headquarters in College Station Additional labs in Amarillo, Center and Gonzales The Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) is one of the largest and busiest veterinary diagnostic labs in the world, receiving more than 160,000 requests per year from Texas animal industries for assistance in diagnosing animal diseases. The agency provides rapid disease identification and testing to reduce the costs and pain associated with animal diseases and to help prevent potential epidemics. This highly regarded lab is one of only 32 full-service diagnostic labs in the U.S. and Canada accredited by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians. Created to aid and educate Texas animal industries in recognizing and preventing animal diseases and poisonings, TVMDL also helps protect human health by identifying diseases transmissible from animals to people. TVMDL develops new diagnostic tests, then transfers that technology from research labs to routine use. TVMDL offers the broadest spectrum of DNA testing for animal disease diagnosis in the nation. These molecular tests identify the genetic codes of pathogens, quicken diagnoses, and help open international trade for Texas livestock. Because the agency also serves as an animal disease data center, information about disease incidence, geographic and seasonal distribution of diseases, and antibiotic sensitivity patterns are computerized and readily available.

87. Why Are Animals Needed In Research? Certain strains or breeds of animals get the same diseases or conditionsas humans. animal Models are frequently critical to understanding http://www.osera.org/why.htm

Order Infection - Version Why Are Animals Needed in Research? Historical Perspectives A wonderful book entitled Cattle, Priests and Progress by Calvin W. Schwabe, D.V.M., M.P.H., Sc.D. is a fascinating and wonderful description of the evolution of medicine and especially veterinary medicine. The following shares a few of the ideas provided by Dr. Schwabe. The idea of stewardship of animals developed in ancient times, as early humans domesticated animals. Additionally in early cultures, priests or shaman began to observe the relationship between human health and animal diseases (for example Judaic Law prohibiting the eating of pork). In Roman times Galen, the father of anatomy, dissected animals learning about their internal structures and then using them to teach others. However, it was not until the time of the American Revolution that we begin to see experimentation on animals rather than experimentation on humans. In Western Europe in the late 1700's an event of major economic consequence was in part responsible for the emergence of the research process as we know it today. Rinderpest (a fatal plague of cattle) was introduced to Europe from southern Russia by returning soldiers. In a decade the disease swept westward and reduced the cattle herds of Europe "in orders of several millions." The first quarter of the 18th century had already witnessed a dynamic expansion of efforts to promote (human) medical sciences. There was wide spread public outcry about Rinderpest and other little understood and devastating epidemic diseases like anthrax, foot and mouth disease, and pleuropneumonia. These were threats to the economic existence of not only household but of countries. Remember that during this time the economic base of most European countries was grounded in agriculture.

Diseases and Conditions of Mammals A vital part of educating the general public relates to animals who are truly in crisis. Injuries are generally basic, i.e. broken leg, head trauma, broken wing, cat or dog bites. Illness or disease is an entirely different issue. The following information is being provided so that you might be able to better assess a wild animal's needs before you call a rehabilitator or game warden in your area for assistance. Be advised that stress is the #1 cause of death in wildlife. Cats are #2. CANINE DISTEMPER: A viral infection which is airborne and is spread through nasal discharge. Signs of this disease include disorientation indicating neurological disorder, convulsions (also neurological), discharge from the eyes or nose (sometimes both), lethargy (lack of energy), thirst (drinks large quantities of water), out during daylight hours ( usually wandering aimlessly), not fearful of humans(part of the neurological disorder). This disease is typically present in sick raccoons, but can also be seen in foxes and skunks. The indications of this disease are not usually apparent until the disease has reached the progressive stages indicating euthanasia for the infected animal. Once neurological signs are present, this disease cannot be successfully reversed. Also be advised that many of the signs of this illness duplicate the signs found in rabid animals. For that reason, a situation with an animal displaying any or all of these characteristics should be referred to a local animal control shelter, a game warden, or a rehabilitator in your area for on-site assistance. DO NOT APPROACH THIS ANIMAL.

Holistic Animal Health: Animal Diseases and their Natural Care Healing Your Pet Naturally with Herbs and Homeopathy "Over the past 40 years and 17 generations of dogs and, cats we are seeing tremendous increases in chronic ill health in our pets that was rare back in the early 1960's. Most of these illnesses revolve around breakdown in our pets' immune systems , and include chronic skin/ear allergies, digestive upset, thyroid/adrenal/pancreatic disorders, seizures, gum/ teeth problems, degenerative arthritis, kidney/liver failure, and cancer across all ages and breeds. We are also seeing a record number of behavioral and emotional disorders including alarming and unexplained fears/aggression., as well as difficulty focusing/training and paying attention. The analogy of these compared with escalating immune/behavioral diseases in children is quite disturbing. The two biggest factors in our pets' population health decline over these generations has been the severe overuse of multiple vaccines and nutrient poor and toxin filled commercial pet foods . We have also failed to address the underlying cause of disease by only suppressing symptoms with antibiotics cortisone and related drugs, so the disease progresses and goes deeper.

Feline Respiratory Disease Heartworm Disease in Cats Top When it comes to heartworm disease, dogs and cats have a lot in common. But new research shows that in cats there is the potential for more severe reactions and even sudden death. Indoor cats are also at risk for heartworm disease. Cases of heartworm disease in cats have been reported across the United States and many other countries. Heartworm disease is most common in areas where dogs are also at risk. What are the signs? The most common signs of heartworm disease in cats - coughing , vomiting, breathing difficulties, weight loss, and lethargy - are often mistaken for other conditions such as asthma, pneumonia and digestive problems. In fact, most common clinical signs of heartworm disease in cats resembles bronchial asthma. Prevention Once a cat is diagnosed with heartworm disease, managing the disease can be difficult. Treatment, as well as non-treatment, is very risky, because there's currently no approved product for treating adult heartworms, and the onset of clinical signs is impossible to predict in cats that are left untreated. Even if the disease is treated, your cat may experience severe complications or even death when the worms die. Prevention is the best medicine. Ask your veterinarian about heartworm disease prevention for your cat. It will help give your feline friend the best chance for a long and healthy life.

97. VESTIBULAR DISEASE IN ANIMALS On the other hand, idiopathic vestibular disease occurs in many animals and inanimal species where exposure to lizards plays no role in the condition. http://neuro.vetmed.ufl.edu/neuro/vestibular/vestib.htm

VESTIBULAR DISEASE IN ANIMALS by R.M. Clemmons, DVM, PhD Introduction: All veterinary species suffer from various forms of vestibular disease. Many of which require only recognition, while others represent significant diagnostic challenges. Although there are a number of diseases which can affect the vestibular system, generally we can break them down anatomically into peripheral and central disorders. With certain exceptions, peripheral diseases bear a better prognosis in most species than central vestibular disease. Partially due to this concern, vestibular diseases represent a large number of neurologic referrals. Often, it is only reassurance that the problem will pass that is necessary. Recognition of when to intervene is as important as when not too. The cardinal signs The anatomic structures involved in the vestibular system include the hair cells in the saccule and utricle (containing the semicircular canals), the vestibular portion of CN VIII, the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem and the flocculonodular lobe of the cerebellum. The vestibular nuclei send fibers forward in the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) which coordinates ocular movements, projects fibers to the spinal cord as the vestibulospinal tract and descending MLF, projects fibers to the cerebellum, and sends fibers to various structures in the brainstem including the emetic center. Involvement of any of the portions of the vestibular system will result in signs of disfunction. Most lesions result in loss of function and, hence, are ablative in nature. The signs develop due to the imbalance existing between the normal and abnormal sides.
