Pet Pals, Veterinary Surgery Games animated 3D for Windows and Mac

vet surgery games vet surgery games The game does a good job of being matter-of-fact and professional, asking you to select the three most pertinent, professional questions to ask, handling injections, rectal temperatures, and stool samples with a minimum of fuss. It will present the cases with info on the normal pulse and temperature for that species, then ask the doctor if a particular reading is high, low, or normal.

The program takes about 15 minutes to install, but once installed, you don’t need to insert the CDs to play – something I really appreciate rather than expecting a child to handle the CDs (or having to take them on trips). Pet Pals is a great game to give to any youngster who loves animals or loves a more realistic game.

vet surgery gamesThe cases seem well chosen to help educate about the care of the various species and to help compare and contrast appropriate care for different animals.

Useful Article: Treating Dog Fever

dog feverIt is nearly impossible to tell if a dog has fever without taking his temperature first. One of the best outer signs that your dog may not be feeling well nor has fever is lethargy, meaning that he is just lying around not wanting to play, drink or eat.

If your dog’s temperature is over 104 degrees, you will need to get him to the vet. If it is below 104 degrees, keep him cool and hydrated.

If you are taking the temperature with a mercury thermometer, you will need to leave it in approximately three to four minutes before reading it.

To read the thermometer, gently slide it out of the rectum and wipe the inserted end off with either a baby wipe or a dry tissue.

Have someone assist you in keeping your dog still. If he is not feeling well, he may be more prone to biting.

If you are taking his temperature with a mercury thermometer, you will have to shake the mercury down. If you are using an electronic thermometer, it should be ready to go.

After reading the thermometer, wipe it down with an alcohol pad or a germicide wipe to ensure that it is clean.

Slowly and gently lift your dog’s tail to insert the lubricated end of the thermometer right inside of his rectum.

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

  • Vitamins A and D Injection with Vitamin E for Cattle
    vitamin_a_dVitamins A D Injection with Vitamin E – Antioxidant. A water emulsifiable solution to be used as a supplemental source of Vitamins A and D in cattle sheep and swine. EACH mL CONTAINS: Vitamin A 500 000 I.U. Vitamin D 75 000 I.U. Benzyl Alcohol 2% v/v; Ethyl Alcohol 8% Vitamin E (antioxidant) 5 I.U. B.H.A. 0.75% B.H.T. as preservatives in a base. GET IT NOW 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. DIRECTIONS: For intramuscular use.

  • Dog Bite Prevention Tips
    If you encounter a strange dog:
    • Do not scream. This may excite the dog even more.
    • Do not throw things at the dog. This may make him mad and more likely to try and bite you.
    • Do not run. The dog may chase you.
    • Do not turn your back on the dog.
    • Remain motionless. Keep your hands and arms at your side with your hands tucked into fists.
    • Avoid making eye contact with the dog.
    • Once the dog loses interest, slowly back away until the dog is out of sight.
    • If the dog attacks, “feed” it a jacket, purse, backpack or any other object to create a barrier between you and the dog. This may buy you enough time to escape.
    • If the dog knocks you down, curl into a ball, protect your ears and the back of your neck with your arms and remain motionless.
    • If you are bitten, immediately wash the wound with soap and water and contact your physician.
    • Report the bite to your local animal control agency and the police.


  • 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. Dog eye disordersThe 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.

  • 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.
