- Clinical Signs of Parvo Virus Infection
Canine parvo virus causes lethargy; loss of appetite; fever; vomiting; and severe, often bloody, diarrhea. Vomiting and diarrhea can cause rapid dehydration, and most deaths from parvo virus occur within 48 to 72 hours following onset of clinical signs. If your puppy or dog shows any of these signs, you should contact your veterinarian promptly.
Vaccination is important. Young puppies are very susceptible to infection, particularly because the natural immunity provided in their mothers’ milk may wear off before the puppies’ own immune systems are mature enough to fight off infection. If a puppy is exposed to canine parvo virus during this gap in protection, it may become ill. An additional concern is that immunity provided by a mother’s milk may interfere with an effective response to vaccination. This means even vaccinated puppies may occasionally succumb to parvo virus. To narrow gaps in protection and provide optimal protection against parvo virus during the first few months of life, a series of puppy vaccinations are administered.

- Brushing, Combing, Trimming and Nails for your dogs
Brushing not only makes your pet’s coat look nice and shiny. It is vital for skin and overall health and provides you with the opportunity to spend some quality time with your dog. You will be able to check your dog closely for any problems during brushing. Move the hair aside and examine the skin closely for signs of flea, ticks or skin irritations. Check for mats, tangles, dandruff, etc. When you brush, do a section at a time, brushing down to the skin on thick-coated dogs. To avoid coat breakage, only brush clean coats and mist with water or a mixture of water and coat conditioner. Mats and tangles can be carefully removed with de-matters and rakes or, if necessary, carefully cut out. If you are finding lots of mats, it’s a sure sign you are not grooming frequently enough. Don’t bathe until all mats and tangles are out. Combs are useful for the fine coat that grows around ears and for feathering. Spend time with puppies and newly adopted dogs to get them gradually and gently used t grooming procedures. Go slowly and patiently and dispense plenty of praise and high value treats. Learn where he likes to be combed and brushed and where he doesn’t. All dogs have sensitive areas that need to be groomed a little more gently and carefully than others. By paying special attention to these areas, you will help make your dog more comfortable while being groomed, and he will not resist future grooming sessions. You will also become familiar with areas that he enjoys having groomed. This is helpful if you need to calm him during stressful times such as veterinary visits. Short and medium-coated dogs must be brushed once a week and have their nails trimmed. It’s also a good idea to scissor overgrown hair that grows between the foot pads and, if desired, around the food to give a nice, tidy appearance. Don’t worry if you botch it the first time. It’ll grow back and you’ll get better with practice. Even if you decide not to trim feet, check between foot pads during grooming for foxtails (common in California), ticks, bumps and debris. Wipe tearstains with a cotton ball moistened with warm water. Check inside the ears for debris, ticks or signs of inflammation. Wipe with a ear cleaning solution for dogs, if desired, or a mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Dogs with skin folds, such as bulldogs, Pekes, Shih-Tzus and chows need these cleaned, preferably daily, with a moist cotton ball, and then dried with a dry cotton ball to avoid dermatitis and fungal infections. Trim nails every week or two. Brush teeth weekly with products for dogs to avoid tartar build-up, which not only causes bad breath but can necessitate professional cleaning under general anesthetic if allowed to build up. Longer coated dogs should be brushed more often, ideally every day. No dog should have to endure mats or a dirty, itchy coat. If long-coated dogs dirty themselves during elimination, strategic trimming can prevent this in future.

- Red Eye, Lightweight and water resistant Intravenous Infusion Pump
Red Eye™ is a precision instrument which monitors gravity-fed drip infusions. It makes a significant contribution to the safety of patients who are receiving treatment by intravenous drip. It alerts nursing staff when the flow rate deviates from a set range or when the infusion bag is empty or a specified volume of fluid has been infused. If the flow rate deviates from a specified range, ward staff are alerted quickly with both audible and visual alarms. During the night, a bag light alarm can be used to silently alert staff. Red Eye™ registers every drop of fluid and constantly recalculates and displays the flow rate in millilitres per hour.
Red Eye™ allows staff to see at a glance how much fluid has been infused. Red Eye™ monitors the flow rate of intravenous drips, but it does not come into contact with the fluid. This means that risks of contamination or extravasation are minimised. Accurate measurements of drugs and liquids can be delivered safely as prescribed, with staff alerted once the specified quantity has been infused. Red Eye™ is powered by a rechargeable battery which lasts up to 6 days on a single charge. No mains cable means one less hazard on a busy ward. Red Eye™ has been rigorously tested and is approved for use in healthcare environments. Red Eye™ keeps accurate records of all infusion activity which can be easily downloaded to a PC for future reference.
With Red Eye,™ the need to constantly check on the progress of intravenous drips is significantly reduced. It enhances patient safety, reduces the time taken monitoring drips and improves the overall smooth-running of busy wards. Nurses’ time is freed up dramatically when using Red Eye,™ as the device constantly monitors drip rates allowing staff to concentrate on other vital tasks. If there is a problem, staff are alerted. Otherwise, they can get on with their jobs.

- Watch how you pet a dog
- Always let the dog see you first.
- Let the dog come to you on his own terms.
- Make a fist and hold your hand out towards the dog’s nose so he can sniff your hand.
- Talk to the dog in a normal voice. Do not yell or scream.
- If the dog seems comfortable with you, gently pet the dog in the back (not on the head – that’s too close to the mouth, which contains those sharp teeth!)
