Trent Pictures
———————————-
Trent, the most recent member of my pet family, has been missing for over 2 weeks- it doesn’t look like he’s coming back.
I have since talked to more neighbors who have all had cats go missing- so they either have indoor cats, or no cats at all.
I have posted a few pictures of Trent - we’ll be having some type of memorial for him this weekend.
He’s very cute and loved to ham it up on camera.
Enjoy yourself- and your pets this weekend
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

My dog Lewis is BIG… but not especially brave.
I happen to also have small children (with LOUD voices), and when they start yelling, Lewis runs to another room…
A while ago I had an incident in the clinic with a disgruntled client swearing, throwing chairs around the room, and Lewis took off out the back of the clinic.
Man’s best friend?… friend yes, but protector…..ah no
And if a dog shows aggression on the trail, he’ll usually do what he can to avoid it.
SO… he’s a lover.
The good thing is he doesn’t get into dog fights, and he’s very social at my work (where he hangs out eating cat food and other human food products from my staff:-)
But in spite of all of this, I love Lewis just the same… he’s part of my family, not some big guard dog.
That’s just his personality.
So my question for today…
Is your pet a lover or fighter?
And if so, How did this happen?
Is it nature or nurture?
For Lewis a bit of both - and now he’s Mr. Mellow.
Feel free to respond below.
Best Wishes,
Dr Andrew Jones, DVM

Hello again to you.
————————
A disturbing story
————————
An emaciated dog was left abandoned in front of
a Veterinary Clinic-
He was a sick, helpless dog, lying in front of a
Buffalo veterinary hospital for 24 hours before
the SPCA was even called.
The SPCA has filed a complaint with the state, saying
the veterinarian whose office Kenny was found in front of,
should have helped the dog.
Dr. Hector Anderson says otherwise.
Here is the entire story:
Officials at the Erie County SPCA say they have to put
“Kenny” the cocker spaniel to sleep.
We’re told Kenny received a blood transfusion Saturday
morning, but did not respond. SPCA workers say he has
an enlarged esophagus and cannot be saved.
Kenny was malnourished and weighed only nine pounds
when he was discovered Wednesday outside a Kensington
Avenue animal hospital.
The SPCA has filed a complaint with the state, saying
the veterinarian whose office Kenny was found in front of,
should have helped the dog.
Dr. Hector Anderson says otherwise.
“The dog was not physically injured…the dog could move.
If the dog was injured, then that would be a different thing,”
Anderson said. He tells us he called the city’s animal shelter
four times, asking them to send someone to pick Kenny up,
before the SPCA arrived. He thinks the SPCA should be directing
its anger toward whoever abandoned Kenny.
Veterinarian Doctor Hector Anderson said, “I should not be
implicated in any way for what happened to the animal.”
It’s believed Kenny was left outside Dr. Hector Anderson’s
clinic on Tuesday. Kenny didn’t get medical care until Wednesday night.
Dr. Anderson said, “When I went towards the dog, it got up
and walked towards the grass patch in the back.”
Dr. Anderson says he’s been a vet for more than four decades
and that if the dog had shown some signs of injury, it would’ve
received immediate care, “As far as I’m concerned the dog was
not injured. It was able to move and I don’t think that I should
be responsible.”
Carr said, “I don’t know how a veterinarian can walk by this dog
and say there is nothing wrong with it. And that’s what I heard
him say.”
Dr. Anderson claims one of his employees called the city animal
shelter to pick up Kenny at least four times on Tuesday, “If the
city had come immediately or within the day, they would have taken
it to the vet that does work for the city.”
“I’m sorry, but this is a medical doctor…anybody looking
at this dog, anybody on this street with no medical knowledge
whatsoever could see this dog was suffering,” said SPCA Erie
County Director Barbara Carr.
“There is no way in the world that I can accept that a
veterinary doctor could not see that that dog was suffering,”
said Carr.
The SPCA wants to thank everyone who asked about Kenny’s
condition and offered to adopt him.
P.S. This story strikes a BIG chord because the
Veterinarian in question, a Dr Anderson, was SO
callous- He could care less.
NO this was not his client.
And YES the SPCA should have been involved.
But ALL he needed to do was have a staff member take
the dog inside, and have his staff provide some BASIC
supportive care.
Just show a small bit of compassion.
It’s NOT all about the mo*n*ey- although much
of Veterinary Medicine ( and our society) has
become..as Dr Anderson.
Being a Veterinarian he should be held to a
higher standard, and been able to see that this
dog was in need of care- but he chose to ignore
it.
And I believe that the SPCA is in it’s rights
to file a complaint.
You decide.
Heal Your Pet At Home!
Best Wishes,
Dr Andrew Jones, DVM

Disturbing Phone Call
———————————–
My Dad phoned me yesterday with some unsettling news
about his 10 year old Bearded Collie- Jessie.
Jessie’s back legs were ‘not working right’
He was wobbling from side to side, and his
paws were folding under themselves..
A sudden onset of paralysis.
I had my Dad to a basic exam of Jessie,
and came to the conclusion that it was
a sudden onset of paralysis, and it was
NON painful..
And then guess what?
Well the differentials for a sudden onset of non painful
paralysis are pretty small.
The most common one?
Tick Borne Paralysis..
It is caused by a neurotoxin produced in the tick’s salivary gland. After prolonged attachment, the engorged tick transmits the toxin to your dog or cat.
The toxin causes symptoms within 2-7 days, beginning with weakness in both legs that progresses to paralysis. The paralysis ascends to trunk, arms, and head within hours and may lead to respiratory failure and death. The disease can present as acute ataxia without muscle weakness.
Tick paralysis is believed to be due to toxins found in the tick’s saliva that enter the bloodstream while the tick is feeding. The two ticks most commonly associated with North American tick paralysis are the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni) and the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis);
Most North American cases of tick paralysis occur from April to June, when adult Dermacentor ticks emerge from hibernation and actively seek hosts.
Tick paralysis occurs when an engorged and gravid (egg-laden) female tick produces a neurotoxin in its salivary glands and transmits it to its host during feeding.
Removal of the embedded tick usually results in resolution of symptoms within several hours to days. If the tick is not removed, the toxin can be fatal, with reported mortality rates of 10–12 percent, usually due to respiratory paralysis.
—————————————————-
So WHAT happened?
—————————————————-
I told my Dad and brother to look for a Tick by Jessie’s ear ( they like to hide behind ears)
And sure enough they found an engorged female tick.
And now Jessie is back to his normal gopher/sheep/cow chasing self-
Everyone is now relieved (minus the gophers/sheep/cows)
Now if you are looking for more of these quick and easy At Home Solutions to
your dogs and cat’s health problems, I advise my NEW Digital Book:
…Until next time

A big hello to you and your pets this
Monday.
————————————
Dogs attacking cats..
———————————–
I had 2 emergencies this weekend that resulted
from dogs attacking cats.
In both cases these pretty easy going cats were
left with serious abdominal hernias- the dogs
bit them so hard that their abdominal muscles were
torn ( through 3 layers) and the intestinal contents
were coming out of the abdominal wall.
The first cat has had surgery, and is stable- the
second cat is scheduled for surgery today.
It’s hard NOT to have a reaction to this- Can
you imagine having your own cat attacked?
And one of the owners told me that the neighbor’s
dog that attacked their cat has also tried to
attack their horses, and goes after other animals..
But they live out of town with little regulation-
and IRRESPONSIBLE pet owners are allowed to get
away with too much- like letting their ‘attack dog’
roam free.
I am contacting the SPCA today- hopefully there
will be some type of investigation. These pet owners
had contacted their regional govt representative who
told them to: ” Just shoot the dog”
This once again highlights the pathetic LACK of
companion animal protection laws- in virtually ALL
areas.
So IF you have an opinion on animal protection and
cruelty, ensure that you make your voice heard by
your local representative- and support organizations
that are trying to bring about more supportive animal
cruelty and protection laws.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
P.S. IF your pet is *ever* attacked you need to have
some basic First Aid skills.
Such as treating for shock, and stopping bleeding.
You can get this with my First Aid Book:
Dr Jones’ Essential Guide to Dog and Cat First Aid
P.P.S. Feel free to comment here..
Enjoy

The Swine Flu ‘Epidemic’ has created a host
of concerned pet owners..
I have received many an email on this topic,
so I feel that it is important to clear
up some misconceptions- and set your mind
at ease.
——————————————-
Can your dog or cat get the Swine Flu?
——————————————-
NO
There are ZERO cases reported, and in
fact no evidence that ANY swine virus has
ever mutated and become infectious to dogs
or cats.
———————————————-
Can my Dog or Cat pass the Swine Flu to
me or other people?
———————————————-
NO
There are NO cases of ANY Dog/Cat to
Human Viral disease transmissions-
including Influenza (Flu) Viruses.
Our Dogs and Cats have viruses UNIQUE to
their species- and there has NEVER been
a recorded case of a person becoming ILL
with a Virus from their dog or cat.
—————————————
What is the Swine Flu Virus?
————————————–
The official name is H1N1 Flu Virus-
it has mutated and it is now infectious
from people to people.
Pigs, as dogs and cats and ALL other
mammals often get Flu viruses, but generally
these viruses are Species specific.
The BIG concern in this case is this is
a NEW virus, and we humans have little
NATURAL immunity to this virus- hence
all the media coverage.
Fortunately it is acting typical to MOST
Flu viruses- you get typical Flu signs:
Common signs and symptoms of the flu include:
* Fever over 101 F (38 C) in adults, and often
as high as 103 to 105 F (39.5 C to 40.5 C) in children
* Chills and sweats
* Headache
* Dry cough
* Muscular aches and pains, especially in your back,
arms and legs
* Fatigue and weakness
* Nasal congestion
* Loss of appetite
* Diarrhea and vomiting in children
Most people with this virus have relatively minor
Flu symptoms- and they recover pretty quickly.
———————————————–
Important Points to Know
———————————————-
It’s also good to put this into perspective-
Every year in the U.S. and Canada OVER 40000 people
die of of the common Human Flu viruses.
Most often these are older people, who have compromised
immune systems, and the Flu leads to pneumonia.
To date the Swine Flu is responsible for 2
deaths in the U.S.
Clearly this is NOT a major health concern,
and it does NOT warrant all of the news coverage.
——————————–
Information on the Dog Flu
——————————–
Dogs to get a Flu virus, the most recent being
a influenza A H3N8 influenza virus (not a human influenza
virus) that was originally an equine (horse) influenza virus.
This virus has spread to dogs and can now spread between dogs.
The symptoms of this illness in dogs are cough, runny nose
and fever, however, a small proportion of dogs can develop
severe disease.
While this virus infects dogs and spreads between dogs,
there is no evidence that this virus infects humans.
—————————————
Cat Flu Viruses
—————————————
Cat’s get 2 common Flu viruses- A Feline Herpes
Virus and Feline Calici Virus.
The most obvious sign is a cat with a runny nose, often
accompanied by swollen and runny eyes. Most cats will also be sneezing.
While this virus infects cats and spreads between cats,
there is no evidence that this virus infects humans.
——————————————
Treating Dogs and Cats with the Flu
—————————————–
In most cases, the virus will run its course in 7-10 days,
so supportive care is needed.
SOLUTIONS
KEEP HER EATING. One of the best ways to help your pett’s immune
system is by ensuring adequate food intake. Warm up her favorite
canned food, or add a small amount (1/8 teaspoon) of garlic.
If her regular food is not appetizing, then switch to something
like canned tuna for cats- or higher fat/higher protein food
for dogs
ORDER UP FLORIDA. Humidity is fabulous for easing congestion and
improving breathing. Use a humidifier or put your pet in the bathroom
and turn up the shower.
WIPE AWAY. Use a damp cloth to wipe crusted discharge around the nose
and eyes.
OPEN THE AIRWAYS. For some pets with severe nasal congestion I have
used Pediatric Otrivin. Use one drop in each nostril 3 times daily for 3-5 days.
AMINO ACID LYSINE. L-lysine has proven anti-viral activity, and is a
mainstay in treating and curing cats with recurrent Herpes Virus
respiratory infections. It comes as a Veterinary paste, (Enisyl).
The dose is 1 ml (250 mg) twice daily for at least 12 weeks.
HERBAL:
Boosting the immune system is what is most important in recovering from the flu.
ECHINACEA. The most important herb, the pet dose is 1-2 drops per pound
3 times daily (of alcohol-free tincture). Give for no longer than 2 weeks.
HOMEOPATHIC:
Several alternative veterinarians have had success using homeopathy
in respiratory infections.
ALLIUM CEPA. Useful for watery nasal discharge causing sneezing;
give one 30C twice daily for 5-7 days.
EUPHRASIA OFFICINALIS. Also effective for symptom relief; give one
30C twice daily for 5-7 days.
———————————-
Closing Comments
———————————-
It is very unlikely that YOU will get the Swine Flu-
and your dogs or cat are NOT at risk.
Your pets cannot spread viruses to you- the Swine
Flu is a very unique - an atypical occurrence.
In fact your pets- your dogs and cats are likely
BOOSTING your immune system via the Human Animal
Bond, ensuring that you are more resistant to any
disease that comes your way.
Enjoy your pets!
