Feline panleukopenia

In the following essay, I will debate the issue of animal testing along with the manufacturers whom participate, and provide information for both sides. I will start by presenting some basic animal cruelty laws. The Animal Legal Defense Fund maintains a database of criminal animal cruelty cases in the U.S. reported to our organization. In the last ten years, over 30% of cases that we have tracked involve animal neglect (Animals Neglect Facts). Animal cruelty includes some of the following, torturing

I’m pretty sure that once in your life you have heard the word or term “Parvovirus”, or in its shortened form, “Parvo”. Likely, if you have heard of this word you know it isn’t a great one. Canine Parvovirus is a severe life threatening virus, hence the name, found in dogs of nearly any size and usually found in dogs 6 months or younger. The Parvovirus attacks blood cells and sharply affects the intestines. In 1967 the parvovirus was discovered and given the name CPV-1 and at the later period of

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is currently a common issue among house cats in the United States. Feline lower urinary tract disease is a term used to describe the formation of urinary crystals and stones found in the bladder, ureter, urethra, and kidneys. Nutrition and diet have been proven to play an integral role in cause, prevention, and treatment of FLUTD. Understanding the role and balance of magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium in the diet can help owners make better dietary choices

Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), or feline distemper, is a viral disease caused by feline parvovirus- a viral infection which weakens the immune system by reducing the white blood cell count then attacks rapidly dividing cells such as those found within the intestinal tract and stem cells found in bone marrow (Garigliany et al. 2016). The virus can survive in environments for long periods of time, resisting most disinfectants and increasing the risk of exposure to felines. Kittens and fetus are

However, for all of his health issues, he proved a loving and trusting companion. For starters, he carried cat herpes. Thankfully, this strain can only pass from feline to feline. Generally, with medication, it will not harm the animal too much. However, I only uncovered this little-known fact a month after we said our goodbyes to him. Feline herpes causes respiratory problems in cats if left untreated, and Gimli keyed the term ‘respiratory problems’. Every breath he took sounded like an asthmatic having

other species of animals that are equally affected by these diseases as well. Generally, the viruses that these species fall victim to exclusively affect a single species without affecting other species. Feline Leukemia virus for example can be found exclusively in cats. More specifically, this Feline Leukemia is a retrovirus, which leads to metastasis, tumor growth, and slow infections to develop. The FLV is one of the most common ways that cancer occurs in cats weakening their immune systems and making

• In the morning I helped Adriana restrain a dog named Sinbad for a jugular venipuncture. He was a well-tempered dog just very vocal, so with one hand I grasped his muzzle, tipping his head back towards the ceiling so we can extend his neck. Then with my other hand I wrapped my arm around his front so he wouldn’t start sliding backwards. Luckily Adrian is very quick at finding the jugular vein so Sinbad didn’t have to stay in this position for too long. • On this day an emergency came in, it was
