Pets From Tails of Hope
Pet Care Guide
Heartworms
Heartworms are a serious disease of an animal's cardiopulmonary (kar-dee-o-PULL-mah-nare-ee) system and generally affect dogs. Worm larvae (LAR-vee) are carried by mosquitoes which ingest the infected blood of one animal and transfer the disease to healthy animals through bites.
Feline urological syndrome
Feline bladder disease or feline urological (yer-row-logical) syndrome is a disorder of a cat's urinary tract. It is characterized by the presence of mineral crystals (often called 'sand') which can irritate the lining of the urinary tract, plug the urethra (yer-ree-thruh), and form bladder stones.
Spaying or neutering your dog
Each year, millions of healthy, friendly puppies are put to sleep because there's simply no one to care for them. If you're an animal lover, that in itself should be enough to make you do your part to prevent pet overpopulation.
About macaws
Macaws are hard birds not to like. These big, colorful, highly intelligent birds will quickly become part of your family. But for all these plusses, there are also a few minuses.
Taking care of eyes and ears
Whenever you groom your cat, be sure and check its eyes and ears. Some long-haired cats often need help clearing out kitty sleep from the corners of their eyes.
Veterinary medicine employment outlook
The job outlook for most areas of veterinary medicine is expected to be fairly good. Experts predict that veterinary employment will grow faster than the average of all other occupations through the year 2006 (two thousand six).
Reptiles
Several types of reptiles, including snakes, lizards, and turtles, are kept as pets. Though they can be dangerous, reptiles are advantageous because they require very little attention.
Cardiac care
Believe it or not, the majority of heart disease in dogs and cats is caused by dental problems. Animals on a diet of soft food don't get the chewing exercise they need.
Pet pythons
Pythons are the world's largest snakes. An adult can grow to be 30 feet long. A more practical pet would be one of the smaller species. A ball python is named for the fact that it'll curl itself into a ball when it's nervous.
Animal trauma
Trauma occurs when an animal is struck by or collides with a heavy object such as a large branch, a car, or a wall. An animal who's suffered trauma may experience internal or external bleeding and could go into shock, a condition in which blood pressure and vital signs are dangerously low.
