Dalmatian bladder stones caused by gene that regulates uric acid in humans
The discovery equips dog breeders with the tools to eliminate that trait from the Dalmatian breed and yields clues to the cause of similar problems in humans. The findings will be published Nov. 7 in the scientific journal Public Library of Science.
“This defect, which in dogs is peculiar to the entire Dalmatian breed, has been reported for nearly a century and was probably unintentionally introduced as breeders worked to select more distinctive spotting patterns,” said veterinary geneticist Danika Bannasch, lead author on the study.
“It is now possible that this trait can be removed from the breed by crossing Dalmatians with the normal offspring of the original Dalmatian-pointer breeding that occurred in the early 1970s,” she said.
By Dec. 1, the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory in UC Davis’ School of Veterinary Medicine will begin offering DNA testing for the mutation in dogs to allow breeders to eliminate the trait. Information on the testing program will be available online at UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory
The researchers collected DNA samples as well as urine samples from hundreds of dogs to identify the gene responsible for high levels of uric acid. Genetic analysis of dogs that are a cross between pointers and Dalmatians revealed that gene to be SLC2A9, a gene that recently has been reported to be important in regulating uric acid levels in humans. DNA analysis showed that mutations in the SLC2A9 gene were responsible for the elevated uric acid in the Dalmatians.
The same mutations also were present in some bulldogs and black Russian terriers, breeds that are not known to be closely related to Dalmatians. This suggests that the gene mutation must be quite old, even predating formation of the Dalmatian breed. Alternatively, the mutation could have been introduced to those breeds by crosses between breeds, the researchers noted.
Because the gene mutation does not always occur in bulldogs and black Russian terriers, breeders can simply use genetic selection to eliminate the unhealthy trait from those breeds. In Dalmatians, however, the mutation occurs in all dogs, forcing breeders to look outside of the breed to correct the problem. Download the journal in PDF format

Tags:Dog Eye Disorders
The Eye Disorders was not only encountered to humankind, but quite a few were encountered to the dogs. The case happened to the multitudinous dog, from the minor case to heavy. The owner’s ignorance of the dog would the cause of the Eye Disorders often result in got a serious disturbance to the dog eyes.
Wrong therapy could make eyes damage more spread. For example drop eye medicines not suitable for the glaucoma or the increasing pressure of the eyeball liquid. Moreover when excessive giving will make destruction of the eyeball that resulted in blindness. To understand various cases of the eyes, based on its anatomy, at least the problem was divided into eyeball problem and the outside of the eyeball problem.
The important part of the eyes that often experienced the disturbance is cornea or the most outside part of the eyeball took the form of the thin layer. This part often experienced the wound (ulcer cornea) because of various matters, the trauma or the bacterial infection. Behind cornea was gotten the liquid that was acknowledged as anterior dumber that often his pressure increased because the rise in the waste of the available liquid was mentioned glaucoma. The liquid pressure increased cause the eyepiece to be pressed, so as to blindness happen. Whereas that was meant by cataracts is eyepiece that caused by the age factor. Inflammation of the iris or the slice often mentioned as uveitis. So it’s clear, that must be careful in naming the magma changes to the eyes because not all the changes in the cornea were cataracts.
Others Eye Disorders of the outside of the eyeball was incision. Incision was the waste of the eyes that often were encountered to the corner of the eyes. The cause of incision was varied among them because of the foreign object or because of buckling the eyelids had a direction the eyeball so as the eyes as being stabbed. The other cause of incision could take the form of the germs infection or the allergy so as the eyes were felt itchy. Generally when the infection or the interior allergy from the eyelids happening reddened or became excited. Incision also could happen because obstruction of the eyes tract.
Eye Disorders that also occurred often encountered were cherry eye or the issuing of the middle eyelids so it is looks like a stand out eyes that similar to cherry that only could be treating by operation. The trauma that often happened is pacula or caused by the bite that often caused by the issuing of the eyeball. It is only occurred on pekingese dogs. It should immediately handled by putting again the eyeball and sewing the eyelids so as to keep the eyeball went again out. In the difficult incident was the eyeball could not have functioned again then better be released or amputated so it will not cause the continued infection.
From the analysis above could be concluded that it’s need to be careful in handling the dog eye disorders because not all eyes medicine could overcome the problem of the eyes even when causing the bigger problem.

Omron HEM-790IT Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Omron Health Management Software
Outstanding quality, consistency and accuracy! At the end of the day that is all you can ask from a blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer). A few things to bear in mind: In consecutive readings done at the same time, you will see a trend from higher to lower blood pressure as you “learn” to lower your own pressure. Also, your blood pressure at home will be lower than that you obtain at your doctor’s office until you learn to overcome the anxiety normally associated with the doctor’s office. This is normal and is one of the main reasons to obtain a home blood pressure monitor. Also, your pressure will fluctuate from day to day and even during a blood pressure monitoring session.
This monitor has been extensively tested against measurements obtained at the doctor’s office and has been determined to be as accurate a method of determining blood pressure as you would obtain at the doctor’s office – actually, more accurate since the anxiety factor is eliminated.

Tags:- Every Living Thing Gift Set (Audio Cassette), the story of James Herriot's veterinary practice in Yorkshire
A master storyteller continues the charming account of his experiences as veterinarian in rural Yorkshire. And although there are more cats and dogs as patients than before, there are plenty of large farm animals to deal with, frequently during the middle of the night. The detailed but succinct descriptions of people, places, and animals are a delight. Herriot’s unusual ability to identify individual characters, both human and four-legged, brings them to life–even for the most urban American. The endearing strand weaving all episodes together is the constant devotion of man to animal and animal to man. Chapters are short, the pace is rapid, and the stories are very easy to read–perfect for unmotivated readers. The author’s keen sense of humor will bring smiles to the faces of YAs, particularly when he tells a joke on himself. Nonfiction at its most entertaining best.
The late Alf Wight aka James Herriot left a legacy of books that excites readers to this day (and I presume will do so for decades more.) His gentle, self-deprecating style of humor and the portraits of the Yorkshire Dales farmers and country people are amusing and interesting.
The four books, named after a hymn "All Creatures Great and Small" are joined by this fifth volume with similar stories. James (as Alf called himself) now has his own practice in Skeldale House, is married with two kids. The stories are very similar to the first four, with goof-ups, miracles, and funny tales. Somehow, these stories are not quite as hilarious as the first set, possibly because Mr. Herriot had written up most of the good stuff, or to represent the seriousness of raising two kids and having his own practice and being a settled man rather than a raw youth just out on his own. Nonetheless, if you lapped up all the "Creature" books, as I did, and you mourn the loss of Dr. Wight, who passed away in the 90’s, then you will want to read these stories and vicariously enjoy more of the daily life of a country vet.

- 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.

- 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.

- UNL veterinary medicine students get national honor
In just the program’s second year, students in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine are proving they are among the best in the nation. The UNL Student Chapter of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners recently won first place in a competition at the American Association of Bovine Practitioners’ annual meeting. The club, composed of veterinary students in UNL’s veterinary medicine program, was honored for a case report it submitted to the AABP Student Case Presentation Competition. The report summarized club members’ findings in a project in which they studied reproductive health problems at a dairy. The report was one of 11 selected for presentation at the AABP’s annual meeting in North Carolina this fall. Students Jennafer Glaesemann of Fairbury, Neb., and Jeffry Faimon of Lawrence, Neb., gave the winning presentation. Last year was the club’s first year in existence–and the first year for the Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine–and all club members now are sophomores, making their achievement even more impressive, since their competition was composed of third- and fourth-year students. “This is an exceptional accomplishment because they were competing with the best abstracts selected from veterinary colleges across the U.S. and Canada,” said David Smith, veterinary professor in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. “Further, the case presentations are usually from upper-class students. It is very unusual for students in their first year of veterinary school to be involved in clinical cases.” Six UNL students attended the AABP conference. The Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine is a partnership with Iowa State University in which Nebraska students receive their first two years of education at UNL and complete their DVM educations at ISU. source: www.hpj.com
