🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇

Its smelling like chocolate, hot cross buns and danger.

For us, this time of year brings lots of yummy treats, gatherings and excitement.
But these things also bring dangers for our pets. Chocolate, sultanas and Easter decorations can be dangerous, if not fatal.

Please be diligent and keep your pets safe this long weekend.
Keep those yummy treats locked up and out of reach. Your pets don’t know that they will cause them harm

Canine Cough (Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, CIRDC) is a contagious respiratory infection in dogs. It spreads through airborne droplets, direct contact, or contaminated surfaces, especially in places with many dogs, like kennels, dog parks, and shelters.

Symptoms:

Persistent, dry, honking cough

Gagging or retching (as if trying to clear something from the throat)

Runny nose and sneezing

Mild fever

Lethargy (in some cases)

Loss of appetite (rare but possible)

Dogs who are at a higher risk:
Puppies and senior dogs – Weaker immune systems make them more susceptible.

Unvaccinated dogs – Lack of the Bordetella vaccine raises the risk.

Dogs with respiratory conditions – Brachycephalic breeds (e.g., Bulldogs, Pugs) and dogs with chronic lung disease are more vulnerable.

Immunocompromised dogs – Those with conditions like Cushing’s disease or undergoing chemotherapy.

If your dog has a severe cough, difficulty breathing, or stops eating, consult a vet immediately.

We finish this month, by saying Thank You to all the women (and their supporters) who have helped shape the world we live in today.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Where would we be if we didn’t have things like the toilet roll holder and sanitary products for women (Mary Kenner, 1982), the 1st dishwasher (Josephine Cochrane, 1886) to the discovery and awareness of HIV (Flossie Wong-Staal & Françoise Barré-Sinoussi) and a breakthrough in IVF (Dame Annie McLaren)?

Be the women that future generations dream to be, because supporting each other is essential for creating a greater, more inclusive, and compassionate world. When people uplift one another—regardless of gender, background, or circumstance—society thrives.

We are still celebrating Women's Month.
Tonight, we are taking a look at Dr. Katie Bouman

🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️

Dr. Katie Bouman (born 1989) is an American computer scientist known for her role in developing the algorithm that helped produce the first-ever image of a black hole.
Bouman became widely recognized after a viral photo showed her reacting with excitement as the black hole image was processed.

Many media outlets and social media users celebrated her contributions, but some critics attempted to discredit her work.
She was a victim of both misogynistic trolling and targeted online attacks.
Dr Bouman took to Facebook to confront the haters and squash and further trolling.
“No one algorithm or person made this image, it required the amazing talent of a team of scientists from around the globe and years of hard work to develop the instruments, data processing, imaging methods and analysis techniques that were necessary to pull off this seemingly impossible feat,”

FUN FACTS:

In 2021, Dr Katie Bouman had asteroid - 291387 Katiebouman named after her.

The image is of a black hole is in the Messier 87 galaxy that is about 100 billion kilometres wide, and 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun.

In 2021, Bouman was awarded the Royal Photographic Society Progress Medal and Honorary Fellowship.

She was recognized as one of the BBC's 100 women of 2019.

Did you know that we can do IV fluid therapy for you at home?

Types of Fluid Therapy for Kidney Disease

1. Intravenous (IV) Fluids

Used in hospitalised pets with acute kidney injury (AKI) or severe chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Rapidly corrects dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

Can be adjusted based on bloodwork (e.g., potassium supplementation for hypokalemia).

2. Subcutaneous (SQ) Fluids

Used for long-term management in pets with CKD, especially cats.

Can be administered at home (usually 2–3 times a week or daily, depending on severity).

Helps maintain hydration without hospitalisation.

While being hospitalised and monitored 24/7 is the gold standard, we understand that in some cases, having your pet’s treatments done in the comfort of your own home, is less stressful and more convenient for both the clients and patients.

3. Oral Fluid Support

Increased water intake through wet food, water fountains, or flavoured broths.

Less effective than IV or SQ fluids but beneficial for mild cases.

Only beneficial if there is no decline in appetite

Celebrating the brilliance of Dr Rosalind Franklin, who was a British chemist and a foremost expert in X-ray Crystallographery, with a PhD in physical chemistry.

Dr Rosalind’s technology helped identify that DNA has a double helical structure (via photo 51). This photo was then shared by her understudy, Raymond Gosling, with a scientist named James Watson, who then showed it to another scientist named Francis Crick. (Evidentially before intellectual property was a thing).
Because of the Noble Prize rules at the time, Dr Franklin, nor her understudy Raymond Gosling, received recognition for the groundbreaking work whereby X-ray crystallography provided critical insight that led to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure.

Other achievements:

Dr Rosalind began her studies looking at porosity on coal. Which helped classify coals and accurately predict their performance for fuel purposes and for the production of wartime devices like gas masks.

In 1956, Dr Rosalind was approved for a grant, to research the polio virus. With her group, Franklin then commenced deciphering the structure of the polio virus while it was in a crystalline state. She attempted to mount the virus crystals in capillary tubes for X-ray studies, but was forced to end her work due to her rapidly failing health

Fun facts:
She was fluent in German and French

In 1946, she almost died in a trekking accident in the Frech Alps.

In 2020, Rosalind was names in Times 100 Women of the Year for 1953

The UK Royal Mint released a 50 pence coin in honour of the 100th anniversary of her birth

In 2021 a satellite was launched, named after her - (ÑuSat 19 or "Rosalind", COSPAR 2021-059AC)

In 2022, a new bacteria genus, Frankinella, was described in her honour

While Dr Rosalind Franklin did not receive full recognition during her lifetime, she is now celebrated as a pioneer in molecular biology and a symbol of women’s contributions to science.
