In animals suffering from rabies, the virus is found in large quantities in saliva. This virus will be transmitted to other animals or to humans primarily through bite wounds. Therefore, the Carnivora (dogs, cats, wolves) is the most important animals as a propagator of rabies.

Rabies is a disease disease Zoonosa very dangerous and feared because when you attack people or animals will always end in death.

Given the dangers and health danger and tranquility of the community life, the prevention and eradication of this disease need to be implemented intensively. For that the government set to rabies-free asia in 2005.

Animals that are susceptible to rabies

All warm-blooded animals are susceptible to rabies. Rabies disease naturally present in the dogs, cats, bats and wild carnivores.

Incubation Period

The incubation period is the time between onset of symptoms until disease. Rabies disease incubation period in dogs and cats less than 2 weeks (10 days-14 days). In humans at least 2-3 weeks and 1 year old.

Stages of Rabies Disease

Travel rabies disease in dogs and cats were divided into 3 phases (phase).

1. Phase Prodormal: Animals looking for a cool and aloof, but can become more aggressive and nerve, extend pupils and rigid posture (tense). This phase lasts for 1-3 days. After phase Prodormal Excitation or phase proceed directly to phase bias Paralisa.

2. Phase Excitation: Animals become malignant and attack whoever is around and eat things weird. Next the eye becomes cloudy and is always open and trembling, into the next phase Paralisa.

3. Phase Paralisa: Animals paralysis in all parts of the body and ends with death.

Disease Signs Rabies In Animals And Humans

In dogs and cats, rabies disease can be divided into 2 forms, namely forms of silence (Dumb rabies) and malignant forms (Furious rabies).

* The dog became more frisky and love to play, but will bite when held and will become malignant in a few hours.

Signs of Rabies in Humans:

* Fear of a very in water, and sensitive to light, air, and sound.

* Tears and saliva out excess.

* Pupils dilated eyes.

* Talk not karuan, always wanted to move and seemed in pain.

* Further marked by convulsions and paralysis and finally death.

Actions Against the Biting Animal

Dogs, cats dank era that bite humans or other animals suffering from rabies should be suspected. To animals should be taken the following actions:

* If the animal is a pet or an owner, the animal must be captured and handed over to the local Animal Husbandry Department for observation for 14 days. If negative observations the animal’s rabies should receive rabies vaccinations prior to be returned to its owner.

* If the biting animal is wild animals (no owner) then the animal was captured alive should be sought and submitted to the local Animal Husbandry Department for observation and after the period of observation over the animal may be destroyed or kept by people who wish, after previously given a rabies vaccination .

* If the animal is biting hard to catch and had to be killed, then the head of these animals must be taken and immediately transferred to the local Animal Husbandry Department for laboratory examination.

Action Against Those Who Bitten (Victim)

1. Immediately wash the bite wound with clean water and soap or detergent for 5 – 10 minutes then rinse with running water, then dry with a clean cloth or tissue paper.

2. The wound then was given a wound that is available (eg iodine) and wrapped loosely with a clean bandage.

3. Patient or the victim immediately taken to the health center or the nearest hospital for further treatment.

Action Against Dogs, cats, or monkeys Yang Maintained

1. Placing a pet in the cage a good and appropriate, and always consider the cleanliness of the cage and surroundings.

2. Keeping a pet’s health by providing good food, good maintenance and carry out regular rabies vaccination every year to the Department of Animal Husbandry or Veterinary Practice.

3. Put the chain on the dog’s neck when the dog is not being invited to dikandangkan or a walk.

2. Being a Black skin color. Abdominal skin is most easily seen when there is change in skin color. This happens because the dog had fotosens(through sensitive) to sulfametoksasol components. At first the skin will look fleck abdomen (one or more), black more and more widespread.

What action should be done when your dog shows one or both of the above symptoms after administration of drugs containing trimethoprim + Sulfametoksasol, especially when accompanied by vomiting and loss of appetite? First of all is: immediately stop giving the drug, give water to drink as much as possible; second: take the dog immediately to the practice of licensed Veterinarian to be treated further. Some signs in front of an indication that your dog poisoning drugs mentioned above! So do not carelessly give medicine containing trimethoprim + Sulfametoksasol if your dog sick!

At the age of 2 months to start the vaccinations dogs. Vaccination can only be given to dogs in a healthy condition. There are several stages of the vaccination on dogs before they can receive the full vaccination repeated every single year.

After the vaccination is given then a new antibody titer reached a maximum after 14 days. Therefore a new dog vaccinated should really be noted upkeep.

As for the things that can be associated with vaccination include:

1. Newly purchased dog should not be vaccinated immediately, but once adapted home for 1 week.

2. After the vaccination is given, the dog should not be directly transferred to the new environment or long journeys.

3. Dogs are not washed after being given the vaccination. For the puppy before full vaccination should not be bathed first. For a while you can use a dry shampoo sold in stores animal needs.

4. As far as possible contact with a dog that has not been clearly preventable health status after vaccination, especially 2 weeks after vaccination.

5. Dogs should be placed on the protected environment of the cold weather / rain.

In dogs there are 6 diseases preventable by vaccination, namely: Parvo Virus, Leptospirosis, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, Kennel Cough, and Rabies. Two of these diseases are leptospirosis and rabies is zoonotic / transmit to humans. A puppy can be vaccinated against these diseases gradually in accordance with the general development.

By providing vaccinations according to the good programs then chances are our favorite animals infected by the disease will be reduced. Coupled with the maintenance of good health of these animals will be more secure again during his life.

Hip Dysplasia The term means the formation of the groin joints (hip joint) is ugly, and describe a disease in a period of development in young dogs from different dynasty. Hip joints that are not good is the general case of a large dynasty, and hip dysplasia can be a serious obstacle to any dog trained for activities with high activity. Hip dysplasia is a genetic disorder that has many factors in how the decline. The emergence of these genetic disorders can be triggered by environmental factors, such as changes in nutrition, exercise and bad experiences (trauma). Naturally, the only heir moderate HD, that is, the formation of the hip joint can also be shaped by environmental factors such as excess nutrients, growth is too fast, and certain traumas during the period of bone growth. If sorted is quantitative, the condition of the hip joint can be classified from good to bad with all levels in between.

HD Signs can not be detected in young chicks, but usually appears in the rapid growth period between ages 4 to 9 months. The signs of the disease can vary quite widely, from less regular than the same steps until all can not move properly. Improvement, even so it looked as if normal, may occur as a more mature age which causes more stable joints, meredanya inflammation, and muscle strengthening of the structure. However, dogs who have HD usually will have arthritis at some point later in life.

In the U.S., the diagnostic assessment can be obtained by sending X-ray images to Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (Ofa) or Synbiotics (PennHIP, The Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program). Although both procedures are somewhat different assessment, GRCA recognizes them and encourage all Golden Retriever breeders in order to comply with health rules for hip dogs that will be bred.

Dogs who develop HD should not be used for breeding, but left to live a long, happy and useful. In the acute phase, the veterinarian may suggest rest and supportive treatment. Light and regular exercise, maintaining weight, and perhaps with drugs anti-inflammatory, will help in the treatment of arthritis associated with HD in the old dog. Golden Retriever Many people with HD do not show any symptoms, until at age 7 or 8 years during which condition his muscles began to decline and decay of arthritis and injuries to joints and become more visible. Operations can also be done to reduce the pain of HD.

Purebred Golden Retriever, Purebred and other retrievers often have limits of high pain, and showed no signs of pain as-Purebred Purebred where others may have felt very uncomfortable. X-ray photographs did not always give a clue what your dog feels, as many people with HD Golden Retriever did not realize that they have a problem.

Eye Diseases

Cataract derivative is a common eye disorder occurs in Purebred Golden Retriever. Cataract itself is defined as any lack of clarity in the eye lens. At least one type of cataract derivatives will appear in the early ages of the Golden Retriever dog virus, and this condition can interfere with the dog’s vision, even in part to continued deteriorating vision loss at all. There is also a type of cataract is not a derivative that sometimes happens.

In the U.S., to determine whether the cataract is derived from a genetic factor or not the test required by a panel of veterinarians recognized ophthalmologist. If there is doubt about the status of these cataracts, so the dog is not recommended for cultured.

Some descendants of Golden Retrievers carry genes causing Central Progressive Retinal atrophy (CPRA), which quickly led to the decline of the function of the eye’s retina to receive light, and can lead to total blindness at a relatively young age. There are also abnormalities other eye, such as Retinal Dysplasia, which should be considered when a dog bred.

Disorders eyelids and eyelashes may also occur in this dynasty; partly derived disorders, and others because of other factors. Entropion and Ectropion is a disorder of the eyelid fold inward or out. Trichiasis and Distichiasis is a disorder in which feathers or fur ordinary eye (near the eye) is touched and causes eye irritation. Surgery may be needed to improve, and although this is only a minor problem, such dogs should not be bred.

AKC (American Kennel Club) dog ban thus embracing the exhibition come AKC rules. In the U.S., testing for dogs that were bred to be done every year, until at least age 8 years and even more, because the eye disorders can arise derivatives at any time during the age of the dog. Testing should be conducted by a panel of veterinarians recognized eye specialist, who has the equipment and specially trained dogs to test the right eye.

Heart Disease

Derivatives heart disease, in general Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis (SAS), known to occur in Purebred Golden Retriever. In America, all dogs are likely to be bred should be examined by a panel of heart specialists veterinarian approved. When a vaguely sounds detected through the examination with a stethoscope, there are diagnostic tests that can be recommended enhancements. Although test results are negative, does not mean the dog is free from heart disease, because some cases are mild but may not be detected decreased except by autopsy (when the dog suddenly died). Animals with heart disease should not be bred descendants.

There are several additional disorders such as Hypothyroidism, seizures Disorders and Orthopedic irregularity others, who do not do it screened at the Purebred Golden Retriever in America. This is probably due to a recognized test standards yet exist or because it rarely occurs in Purebred Golden Retriever.

Rabies or hydrophobia is the most malignant disease in animals because it can kill animals infected this disease and can also be transmitted to humans.

Three groups of this disease:

1. Melancholium the stadium looked restless dog lead, lose their appetite to drink and eat.

2. Exitatie stadium which in a few days can make any dog bite, and then run away until a few kilometers away.

3. Paraltycum Stadium within a week who can make the dog became paralyzed and died.

Dogs usually need to get a rabies vaccination at the age of 5 months.

Leptospirosis

This infectious disease can not be taken lightly. Carrier of disease germs usually are found in rat urine. Leptospirosis is very dangerous and require your attention to these infectious diseases.

The symptoms of this disease include fever, slow or no excitement, pain in muscles and diarrhea.

Dogs are affected by this disease should be immediately taken to the vet for further treatment.

To prevent this disease you should give leptospirosis vaccination before the 3-month-old dog.

Canine distemper

Radius distribution can include the whole world, modes of transmission of this disease through touch, and air. Usually a dog attack at a young age and adult dogs body endurance is not good. This disease has the highest mortality, ie 80% of patients.

The symptoms: fever, anxiety, no appetite, diarrhea, runny nose discharge, cough and pneumonia. Sometimes found red spots on the skin .. The signs of nerve muscle spasms include, gagau seizures, and paralysis.

Dogs should have a distemper vaccination before the age of 3 months.

Parvo virus

The spread of this disease with Canine distemper disease. Only 10% of these patients can survive. Symptoms dog has diarrhea and vomiting because it attacks the digestive section. The disease is almost the same as vomiting disease in humans. Dogs will lose a lot of fluid, vomited blood and dysentery.

Dogs should get Parvo vaccinations before the age of 3 months.

But for our domestic dogs, it is very dangerous because the brown substance contained therein. Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine substances. theobromine substance was highly toxic substance for our beloved dog. Many people underestimate and still give chocolate as a snack on pet dog. They usually say my dog was used and was hooked with chocolate, but never have a problem?. In fact, every year, especially in the United States many cases of reported dog deaths caused by chocolate.

Chocolate poisoning dogs stricken with abdominal pain and extraordinary is usually accompanied by vomiting vomiting blood. Usually smelly brown vomit. Then the dog will spit out excess fluid, restless, and difficult to stand or walk because the body felt stiff and cramped. The thirst will increase when saliva hold out, the dog would drink it until then vomited again.

If not immediately be helped, about dogs will become even worse as increased respiration, muscle tremors, rigid body, urine contains blood, blue gums, seizures, and eventually die.

Usually, a veterinarian if you see these symptoms most of the convicted dog disease parvo distemper because the nerve or similar symptoms. Well, in Asia rarely reported dead dog poison chocolate attack but more frequently reported attacks the nervous distemper, parvo or insecticide poisoning.

There is no medicine that can offer chocolate poison. Usually the doctor dogs and given an IV only extra oxygen to the dog can survive until chocolate is poison disappear by itself ..

Well, if you already know that chocolate was very dangerous for dogs, from now stop the habit of giving chocolate to our dogs.

Note: The amount and type of chocolate eaten and the dog’s tolerance level is also crucial. But, to kill a dog that weighs about 10 kg on average takes 250 grams of chocolate alone.

Factors of race,

There are several types of dogs that had to go through the process if the Caesarean birth. For example: Bulldog, Bulldog anatomy that causes the dog to the Caesarean. Bulldog puppies have a larger body than the head, crooked legs, making it hard to be born normally. Coupled with indukan Bulldog who do not have a neck which causes shortness of breath is not strong Bulldog puppy for ngeden. Small dog like Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Yorkshire, etc. are also often experienced Caesarean operation because they do not have the energy or the child is too big.

Anatomy and genetic factors,

Dogs who have narrow hips usually have difficulty giving birth normally. To determine whether our dog had a narrow pelvis can be examined by a veterinarian. Dog with hips narrow and child conceived large-sized certainly can not be giving birth normally.

Narrow-hipped dog, often also gave birth to a narrow-hipped. Therefore, if you want to buy a female dog should be asked whether there breedernya generation above that of Caesarean delivery. Indeed, not 100% true to the parent-hipped narrow-hipped his son will also narrow, but at least there is a possibility it will lower indukan ugliness of his son.

Health,

This factor is often the case, the dog was pregnant disease. Disease that often causes the dog to the Caesarean is usually an infection of the uterus and vaginal tract. Pregnant dog discharge disease is likely to bear children with the condition because the chicks are blind will pass out a lot of whitish fluid containing bacteria or viruses.

There are dogs that are pregnant appetite so that disrupt the quality of health. Usually occurs when the older age pregnancy, the enlarging uterus pressing the dog’s intestinal tract so hard to eat. Pregnant dog will eat more trouble down the level of health and this will also affect fetal health. Anjingpun do not have the energy to give birth normally to require Caesarean operation to help her birth.

Dogs who have passed 60 days into the pregnancy but no sign of having a baby should be brought to the vet for examination. Many cases of Caesarean occurred because the mother was not having contractions when placenta had separated from the uterine wall. This is not done immediately if the Caesarean operation would endanger the fetus. Placenta who had come off no longer deliver oxygen to the fetus. Usually after take, the fetus can survive between 3 hours â € “24 hours.

Usually the vet will induce with oxytocin to the mother having contractions. But, if it is induced by 3 hours aksitosin in the mother’s contractions have not had to run a Caesarean operation.

There are some cases, the dog was originally a normal birth, but because of the many children who should be born or the fetus is too large so that the mother was exhausted. So the parent must also be in cesar. If the fetus was already dead inside the womb but not lifted immediately, the mother’s life would be threatened because the process of decay is very fast and the fetus will poison all the existing systems.

Many emails and sms sent to me, someone asked the meaning of the word holistic, and there is also a curse if I did not know about holistic, he said do not bring religion if you advertise.

Holistic word you will not find in the English dictionary. In the English dictionary you will find the words that are associated with religion.

Try to open (if any) dictionary English medical terms. Â € written there œholistic, holistically, Holistic medicine
which means: a natural, simple, natural medicine (traditional), organic, no chemicals, etc..

How a food can be practically holisitic?

Raw foods such as grains, meat animals, vegetables, preservatives, etc. can be incorporated into the holistic category, if in the process of manufacture, biggers, etc. pemupukannya using only organic or natural materials. The definition of natural or organic is: do not use pesticides substances, hormone booster, chemical preservatives, etc..

Dog food producers who claimed a holistic products, will use such materials are written above as a raw material for it foodnya dog. . Preservatives that they used were just Vitamin C and Vitamin E. This is done to improve the quality of life for animals to live longer and healthier lives.

Dog food brands that use a holistic ingredients that have been circulating in asia (the brand I know) is a Natural Life, Eagle Pack and Solid Gold. We as consumers must have the right to choose which brands will we give to our pets with price considerations, the ease to get the product, and certainly the most suitable for our dogs.
