PUPPY'S FIRST COLLAR

A Collar – A puppy’s first collar can be very plain, because it will soon be outgrown. A collar serves two functions:- a) It allows you to hold the dog securely either with a leash or with your hand. b) It can adorn the dog. The collar should, first of all, be strong enough to withstand the pulling force of the dog and, secondly that its style be in keeping with the dog’s breed and appeal to our sense of beauty. Most important, it should be well made. In the market variety of collars are available and it makes the confusion state. Maximum collars have buckles, which itself is a problem. Reason being if the collar is set too loose, the dog can slip its head out of it and get off the leash; if it is too tight, the dog is uncomfortable. It can be avoided if you choose from the following:- i) A choke collar – It tightens as dog pull itself. Always make sure to buy one with a stop that allows the ring to move only to a certain point. If the collar doesn’t have any stop, you could choke your dog to death or the dog might strangle itself on the collar.

ii) A harness – It is worn loosely around the neck and chest. These are suitable only for dogs that don’t pull too hard. A leather collar or a chain - A collar should be the right style for the dog. It should look attractive on it and must be according to the dog breed. Chain collars are very convenient as you can carry them in your pocket, but metal may discolor light fur so most dog owners use leather collars. Do not buy an expensive collar until the dog has attained its full growth.

UVEITIS - DOGS AND CATS

Uveitis is defined as inflammation of some or the entire uveal tract including iris, cilliary body, and choroid. It may be associated with inflammation of adjacent structures such as retina, vitreous sclera, and the cornea. Clinic signs of uveitis in dogs and cats include spasm of the eyelids, thickening of the inner eyelids, and redness of the white of the eye, a thickened white film on the cornea, constricted pupil, and blood in the intraocular fluid. Uveitis can be present in just one or both eyes. Uveitis in dogs and cats is a secondary problem, precipitated by a primary cause of intraocular vascular damage. Primary causes include: infection, trauma, auto-immune disease, parasites, and cancer. Diagnostics in dogs with uveitis should include blood chemistry, complete blood count, and heart worm test to begin with. In cats, blood chemistry and complete blood count should be run, but should also include blood tests for immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukaemia, and toxoplasmosis. Uveitis is a medical emergency that causes a great deal of pain, and can quickly lead to irreversible blindness. In treating uveitis, once an underlying cause is identified, specific treatment will be directed at the underlying disease process.
