Animal oxygen masks

Fire Department will have the means to revive pets that are suffering from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning.Animal-Oxygen-Mask

Losing a pet in a fire can add to the trauma of a family already having to deal with the fallout of the damage caused by a fire. While rescue personnel have oxygen masks meant for humans, these masks do not work well on animals because they do not fit well on their faces.

The cone-shaped masks, which are available in three sizes, can be fitted snugly on the animal's snouts, and have been found to be very effective in resuscitating pets suffering from inhaling smoke. Because of the various sizes they come in they can be used on different types and sizes of pet animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even birds. These special oxygen masks are equipped with a rubber ring, which creates an effective seal, thus allowing pure oxygen to be pumped into the noses of the animal. The masks are simple to use as they only need to be placed over the snout of the animal, then hooked to an oxygen tank which forces oxygen into the animal. As long as the animal is breathing, these masks can be very effective.

      Avoid Pet Dehydration when Travailing by Air

      Many dogs and cats get sick when traveling by air because of  dehydration.

      Dehydration can be avoided with preparation few days prior transporting your dog or cat by giving them a MIX of the following formula (always consult with your Vet!!) and this is very effective  post transportation .

       

      Section A

      Glycine 6.18g, Citric Acid Monobasic 0.48g, Potassium Phosphate Monobasic 2.08g, Potassium Citrate 0.12g, Sodium Chloride 8.58g.

      Section B 

      Glucose 44.61g

       

      Section A and Section B must be always be used together.

      TEA TREE OIL – MELALEUCA – USE WITH DOGS AND CATS

      TEA TREE OIL_PETSVENTURA I advocate using tea tree oil for dog shampoo, particularly for larger breed dogs. When I use a tea tree oil shampoo it seems to keep the fleas and ticks away for several days after a bath.

      With smaller dogs, miniature breeds like small poodles, Chihuahua's, and felines; you should avoid shampoos with concentrations of tea tree oil or other essential oils like menthol, in concentrations greater than 1%.

      Cats and small dogs are highly at risk to central nervous system depressants (CNS depression) like some essential oils.

      Never use directly tea tree oil, mint, or pennyroyal essential oils on any small animal.

      Although some of these oils have proven themselves effective in repelling fleas and ticks, they can be dangerous or deadly to your small pets.

      TICK SOLUTION

      An Israeli company Mitam has developed a chemical-free, environmentally safe anti-tick spray that is safe for pets and farm animals. Based on 15 years of research at the Volcani Institute in Israel, Mitam's biological solution takes advantage of the fact that ticks do have natural enemies. One in particular is a naturally occurring fungus called Metarhizium anisopliae, which latches onto and consumes the protein exoskeleton of the tick, causing death.

      tick_PETSVENTURA

      Normally present in nature or in a cowshed in small amounts, Mitam has found a way to amplify the fungus's potency and supply it food, while it waits for a tick to jump into an animals' fur.

      "It eats the tick, and there is no egg laying. This is one of our main achievements," Mitam's CEO Tzali Cnaani. What also makes it a plus for farmers and pet owners is that Mitam's spray can be applied either to the animal's habitat on the farm or at home, as well as on the animal directly.

      No resistance and kid-safe

      Competitive in price with similar, but harmful, chemicals such as Frontline, Mitam is now working with the US Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US to prepare for commercial sales expected to start in 2010.

      The solution is believed to be effective on a number of ectoparasites that penetrate the outer body of an animal, although the scientific evidence is not yet available, says Cnaani. For now the company of six, based in Katzrin in the Golan Heights and founded in 2003, is focusing on ticks that attack companion and domestic animals such as cows, horses, sheep, goats - and cats and dogs.

      One problem with existing methods of tick control, according to Cnaani, is that the materials are poisonous and harm the environment. "The dog is close to the kids and it rubs off," he says.

      In addition, he explains: "The ticks develop resistance to it, and eventually it becomes less and less effective. There is room for a solution that is environmentally friendly. We are using something natural."

      Proven efficacy in the greenhouse

      The fungus being bred by the company has already been shown to be a sound biological control solution in the agriculture business, and is used to keep pests off greenhouse-grown berries.

      In the cattle business, beef farmers especially are actively seeking new solutions to save their livestock from cattle tick fever, which leads to anemia and even death in some cases. There are 1.3 billion head of cattle in the world, says Cnaani, and according to experts the overall damage from cattle tick fever is enormous, at $7 billion a year worldwide.

      "There is a high cost of treatment, and loss of production," notes Cnaani, pointing out that the EPA is actively seeking new environmental solutions in this direction.

      CAR SEATS FOR YOUR PETS

      Traveling with children in a car we make sure that they are safe and buckle them up and do everything necessary to make sure that they are as safe as can be. But, what are we doing about pets? Often take bring our pets along with us in the car, taking them from place to place or chore to chore. Have you ever thought about what could happen when you get in a car accident with your dog unsecured?

      Unfortunately some of us found out. Pets can become horribly injured, disfigured, or can die in a car accident due to not being secured properly. It is vital that you make sure that your pet has a car seat or tethering device in the car so that your best friend is kept safe.

      DIARREA EN GATITOS Y GATOS


      La diarrea es uno de los problemas más frecuentes tanto en perros como en gatos. Algunas son fáciles de solucionar, pero otras requieren más esfuerzo para encontrar la causa y el tratamiento específico.

      La diarrea es uno de los problemas más frecuentes en los gatos de estas edades.

      Se define como un incremento en el contenido de agua en la materia fecal asociado con un aumento en el volumen y frecuencia de la defecación.

      Según el tiempo de evolución de una diarrea, se puede separar en dos categorías:

      Diarrea aguda: se puede presentar con o sin vómitos. Puede también ocurrir con pérdida del apetito, letargia o deshidratación según la intensidad y duración del cuadro. La mayoría se deben a enfermedades virales o a cambios bruscos en la dieta.

      En general este tipo de diarrea es autolimitante, es decir que con el transcurso de horas o días la situación se normaliza sola. Esto no quiere decir que no necesite tratamiento. A veces es necesario calmar el dolor del abdomen, administrar suero para mantener al paciente hidratado, aportar glucosa o eliminar los parásitos que pudiera haber. Siempre es importante realizar un ayuno y posterior dieta que permita a los intestinos descansar durante 24 a 48 horas y reponerse. Cuando las paredes de los intestinos están inflamadas o lastimadas cualquier alimento que el gatito ingiera, así sea solo leche, no hará más que provocar mayor inflamación y prolongar la diarrea. En un gatito muy joven la falta de ayuno puede agravar severamente el cuadro de diarrea original. Un medicamento común que puede ayudar es la crema de bismuto, pero su sabor suele ser desagradable y es difícil de administrar. Si puedes usarla, la dosis es de 1 a 2 ml 3 a 4 veces al día durante no más de 3 días. Si la diarrea persiste debes llevar a tu gatito a ver a un veterinario. No conviene usar antibióticos salvo que haya evidencia de una infección bacteriana, pues éstos alteran la flora bacteriana normal de los intestinos.

      Después del ayuno, la primera comida debe ser muy digestible. Se sugiere atún al natural, huevo cocido, trocitos de pollo con arroz o los preparados comerciales específicos que el veterinario te indique. Lo mejor es darle pequeñas porciones varias veces al día y luego ir progresando hasta volver a la alimentación normal en 2 a 3 días. La leche debe suspenderse por completo hasta que las heces tengan consistencia normal.

      Diarrea crónica: este tipo de diarrea es más frecuente en los gatos adultos asociada a inflamación intestinal crónica. En los gatitos las causas de estas diarreas no están del todo claras. Suelen encontrarse parásitos intestinales en casi todos los casos, pero puede ser un hallazgo incidental. Las obstrucciones parciales por cuerpos extraños que el gatito ha tragado pueden ser una causa de diarrea crónica. Otra causa que hay que estudiar es la intolerancia alimentaria; para esto el veterinario indicará como único tratamiento un cambio a una dieta más digestible y luego intentar reintroducir la dieta original u otra de mejor calidad o ingredientes diferentes.

      Lo que es probable que ocurra es que las diarreas crónicas se produzcan como “secuela” de una diarrea aguda que se trató innecesariamente con antibióticos, alterando el balance de poblaciones bacterianas normales del intestino. Casi todos los jarabes para diarreas que se venden tienen una combinación de drogas entre las que se encuentra un antibiótico no absorbible. Mientras el gatito lo toma se encuentra bien, pero cuando la medicación se suspende la diarrea reaparece. Entonces se vuelve a dar un tratamiento con antibióticos y se entra en un círculo vicioso que prolonga el problema.

      Finalmente el gatito tiene una diarrea de varias semanas de evolución que parece no responder a los tratamientos sintomáticos. En general conserva el apetito y no tiene vómitos.

      Para llegar a un diagnóstico correcto es necesario hacer un análisis de materia fecal para descartar o tratar parásitos internos si los hubiera. El análisis de sangre suele dar normal, salvo una eosinofilia en el caso de Ancylostomas. Las radiografías sirven solo para detectar cuerpos extraños en el tracto gastrointestinal. Se puede también hacer un análisis especial para descartar giardias.

      El tratamiento debe orientarse a erradicar la hipermultiplicación de bacterias anaerobias y restaurar la flora bacteriana normal. Se retira toda la medicación, se dan líquidos si son necesarios, se inicia un ayuno de 24 horas y se usa metronidazol (controla giardias ocultas y elimina bacterias anaerobias) durante 5 a 7 días. También se puede administrar Lactobacillus para ayudar a poblar el intestino hasta que se desarrollen las bacterias normales. Si todo esto no corrige la diarrea, es necesario cultivar las heces para detectar infecciones bacterianas como Salmonella y Campylobacter. Si el cultivo da negativo, se puede pensar en una patología inflamatoria del intestino. Un modo sencillo de descartar esto es administrar corticoides durante 2 semanas y luego ir bajando la dosis según la indicación del veterinario que lo atiende. Como última opción si la diarrea continúa, hay que hacer los tests para leucemia e inmunodeficiencia felina.

      En resumen, las diarreas agudas en general pueden tratarse sin hacer un diagnóstico específico haciendo un manejo sintomático del paciente. En las diarreas crónicas, en cambio, sí es importante investigar para detectar el motivo y poder hacer el tratamiento apropiado. Las causas principales incluyen parasitosis, intolerancia alimentaria y posiblemente hipermultiplicación bacteriana.
