• In the morning I got to observe Microsporum canis undern a microscope. One of the vet techs named Patty set up a wet mount, she first placed a few drops of lactophenol cotton blue onto her slide and then grabbed cellophane tape, with sticky side down she pressed the tape onto the center of a colony. She then placed the tape onto her slide and adjusted the microscope to high dry and examined the slide. I was able to see the macroconidia but they weren’t very well developed. An owners cat had been suffering with ring worm for a while and the owners been having trouble getting rid of it and wanted to see if there was still growth. The DTM had finished incubating and from what we saw under the microscope it was confirmed that there was growth. …show more content…
Dyana restrained the cat by covering it with a towel while Adriana guided me. The medial saphenous was easy to see; I wiped the area with alcohol, went in with my needle bevel up making sure I went as distal as I can go into the vein, and slowly pulled back the plunger. Dyana brought out microhematocrit tubes and clay so I can fill them for the PCV and TP test. Quickly after taking blood from the cat I filled up two microhematocrit tubes 2/3 of the way directly from the syringe, cleaned off the excess blood, and sealed it up with clay. For the chemistry panel they send out the blood in the red top tube, so after we got our sample for the PCV and TP test we placed the rest of the blood in the clotting tubes and we put them to centrifuge. Dyana showed me the microhematocrit centrifuge and we spun down our tubes, timing it for five minutes. When they were done I noted the plasma color which was a clear straw color and measured it and the PCV came out to 39% which was normal for a cat. I then grabbed the refractometer to measure the TP; I break my microhematocrit above the buffy coat so I can place a drop of plasma onto my refractometer. I look through my refractometer and measured it at 6.2 g/dl, which was also within the normal range for a …show more content…
Dyana got a swab of the left and right ear and asked me to set up an ear cytology. Dyana said to use one slide to put both ear swabs on. So I rolled out the right ear sample on one side of the slide and rolled out the left ear swab sample on the other side of the slide. I heat fixed it and stained it with Diff Quick stain. I put it under the microscope and go under oil. I was able to identify yeast, cocci, and rods. Dyana had a look under the microscope and confirmed my findings; we had saved the slide so that Dr. Robins can have a look at it
The drops of crystal violets, approximately 15 drops, were flooded until the smear were all covered and then allowing resting for one to two minutes. After two minutes, the slide was titled over the sink and washed off, with the distilled water bottle, by aiming the stream of water above the smear. The specimen appeared blue-violet when observed with the naked eye. The drops of Gram’s iodine were applied on the slide until covered and then allowed to react for one minute or more. After the time elapsed, the slide was rinsed again with distilled water following immediate drops of Gram stain decolorizer added one drop at a time.
Once upon a time there were three ugly witches on Cat Lane. They were taking a pumpkin at 292 Cat lane and it was a cat punkin they took and they cast a spell to the punkin. They went another house nearby Cat Lane and took all of their pumpkins and cast a spell on them. Then on Halloween they brought all the pumpkins back to all their houses and they had a spell so when someone walked by they got the spell and turned into a zombie. So there were these five little kids and they were going to get candy at 292 Cat Lane and they walk by the pumpkin and they all turned into a zombie. Then, they went to these group of people walking by and he touched all of them then then the one kid Matt said
For this experiment, I utilized unknown number three which I later identified as Staphylococcus epidermis. I concluded that the unknown organism was Staphylococcus epidermis based on numerous tests performed in the laboratory which I will discuss in detail throughout this paper. One of the first tests performed was the Gram Stain. The Gram Stain
Feral cats kill tens of millions of native animals every night and are found across Australia. Unfortunately, there are currently no effective strategies for landscape-scale control of feral cats. However, AWC is at the forefront of efforts to reduce the impact of cats.
Why? Well, to be fair I know why you want a kitten. It's because kittens are the most adorable, enchanting, pretty little creatures in the whole world!
There was also motility because there was growth away from the point of inoculation. It looked like an upside down Christmas tree in the tube. The last thing SIM tested for was indole production. It is produced when the bacteria converts amino acid tryptophan to indole. 5 drops of dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, or Kovacs reagent, was added to the test tube. Upon addition, if it is positive for indole, it will turn a red color at the top of the medium. When the unknown was tested, it did not produce a red color. There was a slight dark red/brown color, but overall the test result was negative.
If you are planning on having your cat declawed, there are multiple ways that you can help your cat heal quickly and safely from this procedure. Here are a few things you need to do after your cat has been declawed in order to help them recover:
As your cat ages, they will encounter numerous changes over time that will eventually lead to a failure of their organs and internal systems - this is a fact of life. However, it is possible to prolong their longevity by paying attention to the special needs that of older felines and by providing your cat with those elements that they will benefit from as they grow older.
Have you ever wanted to go on a vacation, or at work, or maybe your just to busy and don’t have time to take care of your cats for a few hours, and no one has the time to come over and take care of them either, well thats why i have invented the Kitty-Care-2,000. The Kitty-Care-2,000 allows you to go anywhere without finding someone to take care of your cats. It’s capable of doing what any average person can do to take care of a cat, those include: feeding, watering, brushing, playing with, and scooping the litter box.
Thick smears can lead to trapping the Gram Stain and lead to it being positive when it should be negative. Smears cannot be removed during decolonization.
The increase in CAT activity may be associated with increased oxidative stress with the lower concentration of Cl-T. Increases in antioxidant enzyme activities with laboratory exposure to a variety of organic and inorganic chemicals were observed, but the responses were varied for different concentrations, fish species, enzymes and exposure periods. The SOD activity may increase or decrease according to which concentration is administered, the type and concentration of the chemical or xenobiotic, and the particular species
The materials used for the first part of the experiment comprised of the following: a microscope, 4 slides, 4 slide covers, blood samples, lancet, a sheet of paper towel, 3 test tube droppers, Solutions A, Solutions B, and Solution C.
There is a record of the first hybrid cat in 1990, the crosses of a jungle cat and a domestic cat, but the beginning of the breeding was much later when the breeders began to work together for this race to flourish, after much effort.
I’m honestly at a loss for words, this track just makes me want to show off and strut around. (You heard me. STRUT.) Cashmere Cat is so good at making natural sounds sound… better. This is coming from someone who a year ago would’ve called this trash and dismissed it as talent-less button pushing, when really its beautiful and fun and everything you look for in any good music.
The Black Cat, written by Edgar Allen Poe, is a short story about a man, also the narrator, who starts out by living a “happy” life with his wife and favorite black cat, Plato. Although, he begins to be consumed by his drinking and becomes irritable. The black cat used to be by his side but now avoids him. This irritability leads him into becoming overly aggressive, which results in him hurting and murdering the cat. Then, a second cat appears who looks the same as Pluto but with a white spot on his chest. Eventually, the man starts to feel anger towards the cat and attempts to murder him with an axe, but his wife stops him. Unfortunately, his wife was hit in the head. The man then decides to bury his dead wife in his basement wall. He thinks he has got away with murder, but in the end, one learns that he had accidentally buried the cat alive with his wife. The cat reveals his hiding spot when he is caught by the police. Although it seems that the main character has committed these actions solely from alcoholism, it is obvious that there are signs he is also suffering from a mental illness.
