SHAR-PEI'S WRINKLE AND SECRETS
A mutation responsible for the characteristically wrinkly skin of Shar-Peis may also make them sick, according to a new study.Originally from China, Shar-Pei puppies have seduced the Western world with their wrinkles, encouraging breeders to select for dogs that would keep the trait as adults. (In the original breed, puppies lose most of their wrinkled skin as they grow.) Underlying the breed's thick and extensive crinkles and furrows is the accumulation of a common skin component called hyaluronic acid (HA). Also characteristic of the breed is a disorder known as Familial Shar-Pei Fever (FSF), which causes apparently unprovoked yet recurrent episodes of fever and inflammation.

Cleft palate in a neonatal calf 🐮
Examination of a newborn Charolais calf revealed the presence of a severe cleft palate. No other abnormalities were noted.
Cleft palate occurs early in the fetus development cycle when the palatine shelves fail to fuse.
The possible cause may be genetic, teratogenic or nutritional in origin.
Affected calves have obvious difficulty in drinking & swallowing, with milk often seen running directly from the nares & out through the nostrils. Aspiration pneumonia is a common sequel.
Surgery is possible but in calves, often not successful.

Tetanus in Dogs
🔄 @canisgirona 🤝
How do dogs get tetanus?
Tetanus is typically caused by C. tetani bacteria entering a wound. Spores of C. tetani are widespread in the environment; these spores are shed in animal feces and can survive for years in dirt and dust. C. tetani does not cause any problems in an animal’s gastrointestinal tract or on the skin, but when it enters a low-oxygen environment (such as inside of a puncture wound) it can begin to rapidly reproduce and produce a toxin known as tetanospasmin. This toxin enters the surrounding nerves; from there, it can travel up the nerves to the spinal cord and the brain.
Signs of tetanus most commonly develop 5-10 days after the initial wound occurred. In some cases, however, signs may be seen as early as three days after exposure or as late as three weeks after exposure.
What are the clinical signs of tetanus?
In dogs, tetanus can take two forms:
Localized tetanus is the more common form of tetanus that occurs in pets. Affected dogs develop muscle rigidity (stiffness) in the limb or muscles closest to the wound. In addition to muscle rigidity, muscle tremors may also be seen. Localized tetanus, can progress to generalized tetanus with time, although this does not always occur.
Generalized tetanus, affects widespread areas of the body. Affected animals may walk stiffly, with the tail held up or extended out behind them. These animals may become so stiff that they are unable to bend their legs to stand; many develop what is referred to as a 'sawhorse' stance, with all four legs held in rigid extension.

THE SECRET OF THE PRICKLY CAT PENIS
.
🔃 @vet_techs_pj 🤝
There are 120-150 hard protrusions extending in the opposite direction on the pen*ses of cats. Their length is about 1 millimeter. These reverse protrusions trigger the female cat's vagina and initiate ovulation. Exactly for this reason, the first male that a female cat mates with may not be the father of the kittens. Because the first male initiates ovulation, one (or more) of the next lucky males will have the honor of fathering the offspring. Of course, this does not have to be this way in all cases, and studies have not been able to show that mating order is directly related to paternity. It is thought that these reverse structures in the pen*s also clean the sperm from the previous males in the female's vagina, so that the males with this feature can continue their lineage more easily, so cats evolved in this direction. In other words, each incoming man is specialized to clean the sperm of the men before him as much as possible. When the male cat pulls its barbed pen*s out of the female cat's vagina, it hurts the female and causes a short-term brawl. In order for ovulation to begin, the female's vagina must be stimulated in this way (provoked ovulation). Ovulation occurs 24-48 hours after mating.
