How is Yeast Dermatitis Treated?
Treatment for yeast dermatitis may be topical, oral, or a combination of both, and is based on the severity of your dog's condition.
Topical treatment. Treatment with medicated shampoos is a vital part of treating yeast dermatitis. Many dogs with greasy or oily skin will require an initial ‘degreasing’ cleansing with a shampoo containing selenium sulfide or benzoyl peroxide. After the initial bathing is complete, bathing with an anti-fungal shampoo containing chlorhexidine, miconazole, or ketoconazole is performed. It is important the anti-fungal shampoo remain in contact with the skin for at least ten minutes.
Oral treatment. In more severe, chronic, or persistent cases of yeast dermatitis, the use of oral or systemic anti-fungal medications is often required. Many dogs with yeast dermatitis will also have a bacterial skin infection (pyoderma) and will require antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection for typically four to twelve weeks. Oral anti-fungal medications include ketoconazole, terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole. Although these medications are highly effective, they must be given for prolonged periods of time (often several months). Because these drugs have potential side effects, particularly involving the liver, close monitoring with routine blood tests is necessary. If the dog has a relapse of the fungal infection after an initial successful treatment, a higher dose of the antifungal medication will usually be required. Most dogs with advanced or chronic yeast dermatitis are treated with a combination of oral and topical treatment.

How is Yeast Dermatitis Diagnosed?
There are several techniques used to collect samples for diagnosing yeast dermatitis:
🔵 Skin scraping - scraping the skin with a dull blade to collect yeast organisms
🔵 Impression smear - pressing a microscope slide on the skin to collect yeast organisms.
🔵 Cotton swab sample - rubbing a moistened swab on the skin to collect yeast organisms.
🔵 Acetate tape preparations - applying a piece of clear tape to the skin to collect yeast organisms.
🔵 Skin biopsy - obtaining a small piece of skin with a biopsy punch. This is the most invasive diagnostic test, but provides the most complete diagnostic information. This is sent to a veterinary pathologist for examination

Can My Dog Get a Yeast Skin from Another Dog?
Yeast dermatitis is not contagious; your dog did not get this infection from another dog. Opportunistic yeast infections often recur unless the underlying allergy or skin condition is controlled. There are certain breeds thought to be genetically predisposed to developing yeast infections. These breeds include West Highland White Terrier, Basset Hound, Cocker Spaniel, Silky Terrier, Australian Terrier, Maltese Terrier, Chihuahua, Poodle, Shetland Sheepdog, Lhasa Apso, and Dachshund. Some dogs develop a hypersensitivity to yeast, becoming allergic to an organism they are exposed to all the time. Those dogs have an intense, inflammatory reaction but only a few yeast present on their skin. They will often have frequent recurrences of yeast dermatitis, some starting shortly after treatment is discontinued.

How Does a Dog Get a Yeast Skin Infection?
The skin is host to innumerable bacteria and fungi. Under normal circumstances, these organisms do not cause a problem and are kept under control by the immune system. If conditions on the skin change or if the immune system is suppressed, these bacteria and fungi can cause infection. These types of infections are termed opportunistic infections. If the number of yeast organisms on the skin increase, a yeast skin infection results. A common cause of a yeast skin infection is an increase in the amount of oils produced on the skin. This is most frequently associated with allergic skin disease. Some dogs have an immune deficiency making them ineffective at fighting yeast infections resulting in chronic infection. Dogs that receive immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids (steroids) may also be unable to effectively prevent yeast infections, so may develop a chronic yeast infection.

How to Treating Cat Flu?
Just like human colds, there isn’t a cure for cat flu. Antibiotics can’t treat the viruses that cause it, but they can help if there’s a secondary bacterial infection caused by damage to the lining of the nose and airways; if left untreated this can cause complications, such as pneumonia.
Encourage your cat to drink as much as possible, as fluids can help loosen thick mucus; intravenous fluids may be required if they’re still reluctant to drink. Regularly wipe away any discharge from the eyes or nose with damp cotton wool and keep them warm and comfortable throughout their illness.

What is The Causes of Cat Flu?
Most cat flu cases are caused by feline herpesvirus or feline calicivirus. These viruses are highly contagious and usually spread between cats through direct contact, sneeze droplets, and shared food bowls. Virus particles can survive for up to a week in the environment, so your cat may not need to encounter an infected cat to catch the disease.

What is Cat Flu?
Cat flu (or feline viral infectious respiratory disease) is very common in cats and causes symptoms that are similar to that of the human cold. While some cases can be mild, others can be life-threatening, particularly in kittens, so it’s important for all owners to be aware of the condition.
Kittens and cats with underlying health issues are most at risk of developing severe complications, including lasting eye damage and even total sight loss. In some rare cases, it can be fatal.

Silent Day, also known as Nyepi, is a sacred day of introspection and reflection in Bali, Indonesia. It is a unique cultural event where the entire island shuts down for 24 hours, with no activities or noise allowed. The Balinese observe this day by staying indoors, practicing meditation and self-reflection, and refraining from any form of entertainment or work. The streets are empty, and the only sounds heard are the natural sounds of the island. It is a time for cleansing, renewal, and gratitude, and an opportunity to connect with oneself and with the island's rich cultural heritage.

Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Silent Day in Bali, filled with moments of stillness, reflection, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures

What is Contact Allergy in Dogs?
The least common type of allergy in dogs is a contact allergy, which occurs due to direct contact with allergens such as pyrethrins found in flea collars, pesticides, grasses, or materials like wool or synthetics used in carpets or bedding. Contact allergies can emerge at any age and can be caused by almost anything. If your dog is allergic to any of these substances, there will be skin irritation and itching at the points of contact, usually on the feet and stomach. Removing the allergen, once identified, typically resolves the problem, although sometimes topical or systemic treatments may be necessary. It is important to note that allergy symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions or may coexist with other disorders. Therefore, it is advisable not to attempt to diagnose your dog without veterinary assistance. Your pet should undergo a complete diagnostic evaluation to rule out other causes of itching and skin problems. If an allergy is diagnosed, you must closely follow your veterinarian's advice to successfully relieve your pet's discomfort.

18/03/2023

What is Food Allergy in Dogs?
Dogs can develop a food allergy or hypersensitivity to nearly any protein or carbohydrate found in food. These allergies are most commonly triggered by the protein component of the food, with beef, chicken, lamb, eggs, dairy products, and soy being frequent culprits. Food allergies can emerge at any age, and typical clinical signs include itching, digestive disorders, and respiratory distress. Since a dog may have multiple allergies, such as both food allergy and atopy, accurately diagnosing the cause of itching can be challenging. Typically, food allergies do not respond well to medical treatments like corticosteroids, and the most effective treatment involves identifying and eliminating the offending components of the diet. The most reliable method to diagnose food allergies is by an elimination diet trial, wherein a veterinarian hypoallergenic diet is exclusively fed to the dog for eight to twelve weeks. If there is a positive response and improvement in symptoms, the veterinarian will guide further treatment.

17/03/2023

What is Atopic Dermatitis (Atopy) in Dogs?
Atopic dermatitis in dogs is a term commonly used interchangeably with atopy, which refers to a condition where the immune system becomes overly reactive to specific allergens. The primary allergens in dogs are tree pollens (e.g., cedar, ash, oak), grass pollens, w**d pollens (such as ragw**d), molds, mildew, and house dust mites. Some of these allergies occur seasonally, while others persist throughout the year. Symptoms of atopic dermatitis in dogs include itchy skin, leading to rubbing of the face, licking of the feet, and scratching under the arms. Most dogs with atopic dermatitis develop signs between the ages of one and three and often react to multiple allergens while experiencing concurrent flea or food allergies. Identifying the allergens through skin or blood tests can help protect dogs from exposure to them, although this can be challenging due to the environmental nature of many allergens. While the symptoms of atopy can be controlled, a permanent cure is not usually achievable.

What are The Common Allergens?
Many substances have the potential to trigger allergies, with insect, plant, and animal proteins being the most common allergens. However, even small chemical molecules can cause allergic reactions. Examples of typical allergens include pollens, mold spores, dust mites, shed skin cells (similar to pet allergies in humans), and insect proteins such as flea saliva. Certain medications can also cause allergic reactions. Overall, there is a vast range of allergens that can induce allergic responses, with both organic and synthetic substances having the potential to cause adverse reactions in susceptible individuals.

What are The Different Types of Allergies?
There are several ways of classifying allergies. Some examples of classifications include:
The allergen: flea allergy, food allergy
The route the allergen takes into the body: inhalant allergy, skin contact allergy, or food allergy
The time it takes for the immune reaction: immediate-type hypersensitivity, also called anaphylaxis or shock, and delayed-type hypersensitivity
The clinical signs: the areas of the body affected by the allergen
Inherited forms: atopy or seasonal allergies

What is an Allergy in Dogs?
This passage discusses allergies as an over-reactivity or hypersensitivity of the immune system to a particular substance, known as an allergen. Allergens are commonly proteins found in plants, insects, animals, or foods. Repeated exposure to the allergen sensitizes the immune system, and subsequent exposure can cause an overreaction. Although the immune system usually defends the body against infection and disease, in the case of allergies, it can be harmful. Allergic reactions involve complex immune responses that can cause local inflammation and various symptoms. Overall, allergies can be considered an unnecessary immune response to a typically benign foreign substance, leading to discomfort or even life-threatening reactions.

How Can You Tell If a Dog Has Eaten Rat Poison?
Newborn kittens from a healthy mother acquire passive immunity to certain feline diseases before and immediately after birth. The mother's antibodies pass through the placenta to the kittens' bloodstream before birth, and they also receive maternal antibodies from the first milk produced by the mother after birth, known as colostrum. This maternal immunity shields the kittens from the diseases that the mother is immune to. Therefore, it is recommended to vaccinate the mother a few months before breeding to boost her immunity. However, the maternal antibodies last only for a short duration of a few weeks, and the kittens become vulnerable to disease. Kittens should receive their first vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, followed by one to three booster vaccines to complete the vaccination schedule. The recommended vaccines for kittens are feline panleukopenia, feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, feline leukemia (FeLV), rabies, and possibly Chlamydophila felis. Depending on your cat's lifestyle and potential exposure to infection, your veterinarian will determine the specific vaccines and frequency of vaccination. If the kittens don't nurse during the first three days, vaccinations should start when they are four weeks old or earlier if the risk of disease is high.

How to Prevent My Dog from Rat Poisoning?
Growing kittens require a carefully balanced diet that meets their unique nutritional needs. Commercial kitten foods are specially formulated for kittens and should be fed until they are 12 months old. Kitten food comes in dry and canned formulations, and it's important to choose a brand that has undergone feeding trials for growth and development. Adult cat food does not provide the necessary nutrition for a growing kitten. Advertisements often focus on taste, color, and shape rather than nutrition, so it's important to choose food with the AAFCO certification, which indicates that the food meets the minimum requirements for nutrition set by the industry. Feeding a cat table scraps or dog food can compromise their health, and if you want to prepare your cat's food at home, it's essential to consult a veterinary nutritionist to ensure the diet is properly balanced.

I have heard of milk fever. What exactly is it?
Milk fever, or eclampsia, is caused by low calcium in the queen's bloodstream due to high milk production. Symptoms include restlessness, panting, and lack of attention towards kittens, and can progress to tremors, spasms, and collapse. This is a serious condition and requires immediate veterinary attention, as it can be fatal within an hour. Treatment involves intravenous calcium. Kittens should be weaned if the queen develops milk fever."

Kitten's early life expectations?
Newborn kittens are born with closed eyes, but they typically begin to open their eyes within one to two weeks. If you notice any swelling, bulging or discharge beneath the eyelids, it is important to contact a veterinarian for assistance. Kittens should be routinely weighed to monitor their growth and ensure they double their birth weight within one week. They should begin to stand, climb and play at around two to four weeks old. Solid food can be introduced at around three to four weeks old by mixing milk replacer with kitten food to create a gruel. Gradually decrease the amount of milk replacer or supplemental moisture until they can eat canned or dry food without any additional moisture (usually by four to six weeks of age).

Kitten health warning signs, action?
Kittens need to eat or sleep for 90% of their time during the first two weeks of life. Crying during or after feeding may indicate an illness, insufficient milk supply, or milk infection, requiring a visit to a veterinarian. When the mother's milk supply is inadequate, it is recommended to use commercial milk replacers, which should be warmed before feeding. Goat's milk is not recommended. Kittens should be fed every 2-4 hours if under two weeks old, and every 4-6 hours if two to four weeks old. Weaning can begin at three to four weeks of age.

Do I need to help care for newborn kittens?�Provided that there were no complications during delivery, the mother cat, also known as the queen, will spend most of her time caring for her kittens during the first few days after giving birth. During the first month of life, the kittens' needs are minimal because the mother will feed and nurture them.
It is generally not advisable for pet owners to interfere with the mother cat's care, as she knows best how to care for her young. It is crucial that kittens receive colostrum, the first milk produced by the mother, which is high in antibodies that help protect them from infections. It is important to keep the kittens warm and to ensure that they nurse frequently. It is recommended to check on the kittens every few hours to ensure they are being fed and kept warm, as well as to check the mother's milk production.

How Can You Tell If a Dog Has Eaten Rat Poison?
Sometimes it can be very difficult to determine if your dog ingested rat poison if you did not witness them eating it. However, rodenticides contain dyes (red, pink, green, blue, and tan) that can often be seen after the fact in your dog’s stool.
Other times there are no indications until your dog becomes sick. If your pet has any of the symptoms listed above, take them to an emergency veterinary hospital immediately.

How to Prevent My Dog from Rat Poisoning?
Prevention is key! Keep all rat poisons away from your dog and in a secure place. Consider an alternative form of pest control, such as live traps that do not include poisons.
If you must put out rat poison:
🔵 Keep a detailed record of how much was placed
🔵 Know what kind of product (including the active ingredient)
🔵 Take a picture of the ingredients in case you need to refer to it later for veterinarian treatment.
🔵 Mark where you dispensed the rat poison
🔵 If your pet is going to visit a friend, family member, or sitter, be sure to ask if they have rat poison out and keep the dog away from those areas.

Never let dogs eat unidentified objects on walks, as these can include toxins and poisons and be hard to determine after the fact. Finally, remember to monitor your pet’s stool carefully, as many rodenticides contain dyes (red, green, blue, pink, and tan) that may be noticeable before severe symptoms begin.

What is Treatment of Rat Poisoning in Dogs?
Dogs should be treated as soon as possible for rat poisoning. Treatment will vary based on the active ingredient involved, so it is extremely important to determine the type of rat poison.
For most active ingredients, the vet will likely induce vomiting. (If the active ingredients include zinc and aluminum phosphides, the vet may induce vomiting in a well-ventilated area because of the risk to people. Activated charcoal may be given to treat other toxins.
After vomiting, treatment will depend on the specific active ingredient ingested:
For anticoagulant rodenticide, treatment will include at least 4 weeks of oral vitamin K as well as hospitalization for IV fluids, plasma and/or blood transfusions, and additional supportive care (such as oxygen therapy, gastrointestinal support, and antiemetics to reduce nausea and vomiting).
There is no antidote if a dog has swallowed rat poison with either cholecalciferol or bromethalin. Hospitalization is likely in both cases with IV treatment. Dogs that have swallowed cholecalciferol will also be treated to reduce calcium levels. Dogs swallowing bromethalin will be treated to decrease brain swelling.
Poisoning by zinc and aluminum phosphide rodenticides includes antacids and similar medications to decrease the production and effects of the deadly phosphine gas. Additionally, liver protectant medicine and medications to treat tremors or seizures may be needed.
