Do you have an old dog? Had not noticed that this old dog shows changes in the activity? This is because elderly dogs have many problems, especially health.
When we could say that they have getting old? They called as old dog if they reach 7 years old, or if we calculate with the human equivalent is 49 years old. At these age they need more intensive treatment. Here are some programs that we recommend for the "better life for the old dog":
As the elderly man, a routine examination to the vet is very important, at least twice a year. Veterinarians will examine the condition of your dog through physical examination or with a specific diagnostic test that will be tailored to the age, race and health status. Veterinarians will usually recommend a blood test and urin, more than that if necessary will be conducted inspections ECG / rays chest cavity. Test is important to know the extent to which the body is still a role and can be a normal tool for early diagnosis of health problems in the next days. Do not forget to keep vaccinate and prevent parasites infection. Old dog is less resistant to get diseases and more vulnerable to the infection. So, make sure to keep booster vaccinations and perform routine preventive action against heart worms. Protect your dogs against external parasites such as lice, tick and mite.

Vitamin A is the most important vitamin in cattle nutrition. It is the only one which normally must be added to cattle diets. It is necessary for bone development, sight, and maintenance of healthy epithelial tissues (i.e. lining of digestive and reproductive tracts). A deficiency can cause an increased susceptibility to disease, night blindness and reproductive failure. Vitamin A needs special attention in beef cattle rations. This vitamin is found only in animals. Plants, however, are the natural source of vitamin A activity for animals. Green and yellow plants contain carotene, a pigment which animals convert to vitamin A. The wall of the small intestine is the principal site for conversion of carotene to vitamin A.
Some metabolic functions of vitamin A are not yet known. A chief role is maintenance of epithelial tissue (skin and lining of respiratory, digestive and reproductive tract) in a healthy condition. It also functions in visual purple, a compound in the eye needed for sight when an animal adapts from light to dark. Vitamin A is essential for proper kidney function and normal development of bones, teeth and nerve tissue.
One of the first easily detected signs of vitamin A deficiency in cattle is night blindness. An easy way to check for this condition is to place an obstacle in the pathway of cattle and notice if they stumble over it at twilight. Other early signs are loss of appetite, rough hair coat, dull eyes, slowed gains and reduced feed efficiency. Diarrhea and pneumonia may be the first indicators, especially in young animals.
Vitamin A injected in the muscle is used more efficiently to increase liver stores than that given in the feed. This method is often used to supply vitamin A to new feeder cattle. The intramuscular injection of 500,000 to 6 million IU of vitamin A in cows two months before calving has been used in numerous experiments with range and farm herds. There has been no benefit in many cases in respect to fertility, calving percentage or weaning weights.
Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because ultraviolet light acting on a compound on animal skin changes that compound into vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in sun-cured forages. Animals kept outdoors or fed sun-cured hay do not usually suffer a deficiency, whereas animals kept indoors and fed silage may do so. Animals manufacture their own vitamin D requirements from sunlight and fresh or dry feed. The body also stores sufficient vitamin D to overcome dietary deficiency for several months.
Vitamin D is involved in the uptake to Ca and P, so that a vitamin D deficiency resembles a Ca and P deficiency: rickets in the young animals, weak bones in older animals, and a decreased growth rate. Young, growing animals have a greater requirement for vitamin D than mature animals. Under normal conditions, cattle receive adequate vitamin D from exposure to direct sunlight or from consumption of three to four pounds of sun-cured forages daily. Experiments with calves indicate a requirement of approximately 300 IU of vitamin D per 100 pounds of body weight.
Vitamin D increases the absorption from the digestive tract and metabolic use of calcium and phosphorus. It helps regulate blood calcium levels and the conversion of inorganic to organic phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the formation of sound bones and teeth. Its specific role in the prevention of rickets in young animals or osteomalacia in mature animals is associated with its involvement in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus.
Vitamin E and selenium have similar and interrelated functions in the body. Use supplements containing vitamins D and E in addition to vitamin A. They may not always be necessary but cost little to add. Most rations fed to beef cattle in Missouri are adequate in vitamin E. Adding two to five IU of vitamin E per pound to high-grain rations devoid of leafy roughages has increased feedlot cattle performance in a few Corn Belt trials, but not in others. Injecting new feeder cattle with Vitamin E may reduce the incidence and severity of sickness in the starting phase. Vitamin E is contained in green plant material, hay and grain; the concentration in grain decreases during storage.

- The Main Function of Central Nervous System
The main function of central nervous system are set up, regulate and adjusts the body’s internal activities in the whole body on the situation in surrounding areas. Higher degree of ingenuity animal powerless animal’s cause adapts themselves to the changes around and this is mainly caused by animals that have tremendous momentum. These momentums, which many regarded as a bit of evolution index, grow and develop according to the needs of movement. Each ganglion affect one segment, but each ganglion works with the other. This is the basic function of medulla oblongata and brain stem. When the animals in their lives should be more then he needs to move the mechanism that provides oxygen and food on the animal so medulla and spons will be created, which have major respiratory and blood circulation. Besides, the increasing power indigestion caused by the influence of the vagus nerve power swallow, vomiting, and digestive organs movement. When animal becomes more aggressive with leg and feet reflex then mastered the location of the top of the medulla to the brain; cerebellum will perfect the exercise. In the hypothalamus there are: 1. Centers to adjust the temperature changes outside and inside 2. Centers which work together with the pituitary gland (which is also set to grow animals) to maintain affect animals. Finally cerebellum provides power to connect past experiences with the present experience, body movement and think more quickly.
