Animal Health Tip #1
Always provide your animals with clean and constant water source:

Dehydration is incredibly dangerous to all animals and can happen quickly. Make sure your animals have easy access to clean, fresh water throughout the day both indoors and outdoors.
The drinking bowls or troughs for animals should also be cleaned regularly because of microorganisms especially E.coli.

Take note if they are panting excessively, lose interest in eating, or have a dry nose. Be sure to reach out to your veterinarian if you notice these or any other unusual behavior from your animals especially during hot weather.
Dehydration is also harmful for poultry because it can lead to drop in egg production and increased suceptibility to diseases.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASES (FMD)
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of livestock that has a significant economic impact. The disease affects cattle, swine, sheep, goats and other cloven-hoofed ruminants. It is a transboundary animal disease (TAD) that deeply affect the production of livestock and disrupting regional and international trade in animals and animal products. The disease is estimated to circulate in 77% of the global livestock population, in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, as well as in a limited area of South America. Countries that are currently free of FMD without vaccination remain under constant threat of an incursion. Seventy-five percent of the costs attributed to FMD prevention and control are incurred by low income and lower-middle income countries. Africa and Eurasia are the regions which incur the largest costs, accounting for 50% and 33% of the total costs respectively. FMD is caused by an Aphthovirus of the family Picornaviridae, seven strains (A, O, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia.

Cattle are most susceptible, though pigs spread the disease fastest. An incursion of this disease into Nigeria would lead to a loss in production of meat and milk, cessation of trade and the slaughter of many live animals.

Clinical signs:
Early signs include fever, drooling and a reluctance to move. Blisters appear on the mouth, snout, tongue, lips or between and above the hooves on the feet. The blisters rupture to expose raw, painful tissue.

Distribution
Outbreaks are common in parts of Africa, the Middle East, Asia and South America. Outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in the United Kingdom in 2001 and 2007 resulted in millions of animals being destroyed and billions of dollars of revenue lost.

Threat
Foot and mouth disease is considered one of the world's biggest biosecurity risks especially in the beef industry. An uncontrolled outbreak could lead to several lossess in income to farmers.

WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO STUDY VETERINARY MEDICINE:

Veterinary Medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the health and welfare of animals. Doctors of veterinary medicine (DVM) diagnose and treat diseases and injuries of companion animals, food animals and wildlife.

Veterinary medicine is a challenging field that requires intelligence, tenacity and empathy. One significant difference between human and animal medicine is that veterinarians must be sound with the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology of different species of animals.
Veterinarians must also be proficient in medicine, theriogenology, pathology, microbiology, parasitology, surgery and public health.
Veterinarians must deduce problems without sharing a spoken word with the patient. Many veterinarians, therefore are acute diagnosticians with top-notch powers of observation and intuition.

The following are reasons why you might want to become a Veterinarian:
