MALIGNANT TUMOR - DOG

german shepherd dog had minor injury on the fore limb. it went unnoticed but dog started limping quite often and even radiograph showed no visible bone injury. After few months the limping was quite painful to dog. At that time radiograph showed some impressions over the joint and dog was put on pain killers. But this didn't help the dog. Finally biopsy was sent to the lab for histopathology and it confirmed the maligant mesenchymal carcinoma. Few more radiographs were done to find out the spread of cancer and prognosis at this stage. But it was too late to help the poor dog and pain was too much to him. Only good thing is that dog is full of life and want to fight with the end.

Spinal fracture in a male daschund dog

This is a story about a male 9 years old daschund. all of a sudden one day he was sick. owners were unaware about accident with the dog. they were taking him to one vet to another for the treatment. One of the vet suggested for radiographs and fracture was diagnosed. owners approached me from the other state for the help and we had telephonic conversation about the treatment to be followed over there. first priority was to stabilise the condition before surgical intervention. The dog had internal injuries and was bleeding internally profusely. the treatment was going on and suddenly the dog developed bloat. His condition deteriorated and then decision was taken to ease his suffering. I am not able to understand why they were not getting proper care for their dog in that city. Every time its God who decide the destiny of everyone. God may give him peace in heaven.

Urinary bladder stones along with UTI (E.Coli)

Johny, A Boxer, 11 years old male dog was undergoing severe pain and trauma. He was suffering from hematuria and was lethargic, anorectic and had lapses of fever. The x-ray of abdominal area was done by one of the reputed Vet. hospital to find out the root of this problem and urinary bladder stones were found. Veterinarians at this hospital said that dog will die in 5-7 days, if not operated immediately. Owners were very much worried and concerned about this statement. Then owners approached at my clinic. Urine was tested qualitatively and quantitatively and culture test was positive for E.coli. Blood test was done and there was remarkable leucocytosis. Dog was put on antibiotics, other medications and syp.Neeri. Bleeding stopped by next day and appetite improved gradually and within 7 days of treatment there was remarkable improvement in activity level as well. After 21 days the X-ray was repeated and there was improvement in the status of urinary bladder stones as well. Finally dog is happy and the owner is happy.

KIDNEY STONES IN DOGS

Kidney stones in dogs can be very painful and can lead to serious health problems if not treated. Kidney stones - Dogs naturally have minerals in their bodies like calcium, magnesium, ammonia or phosphorus. When there is excessive mineral salts in the urine in humans, they are filtered out through the kidneys. But it can be difficult for these minerals to be soluble in the naturally acidic urine of dogs, these minerals can form stones. While they may not pose a health risk while in the kidneys, they may grow very large and be quite painful if they pass through the rest of the urinary tract, even blocking the tract in the worst cases.
Stones may consist of different types of minerals, general causes of kidney stones can include kidney or urinary tract infections, dietary factors, medications, or geriatric affects. There are some breeds that are naturally predisposed to develop kidney stones, such as Dalmatians, Yorkshire terriers and English Bulldogs. Kidney stones tend to appear more in female dogs and also older male dogs.The most obvious symptoms will occur if the stones pass into the bladder, or the ureters. This will cause severe pain, straining until the stone passes or is surgically removed.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Most stones are visible on an x-ray. Some stones are made up of more organic matter than mineral and may be more difficult to find on an x-ray, so an ultrasound could be used to locate them. There are diets available commercially to dissolve the stones. Dogs that show no changes in five or six months will probably have the stones removed surgically. The stones are removed from the kidney, then the kidney is flushed and sewn up.In order to control reformation of kidney stones, dogs should have a urine test twice a year to prevent urinary tract infections, have access to urinate frequently and plenty of water to keep them hydrated and the urine well diluted.

no words to say for such a disgusting act

It was Friday morning when i was sipping hot tea in chilling weather of Delhi. I was looking at my four legged friends at jeevashram and thinking how beautiful life these animals have.. they have caring families or jeevashram. they just have to do little activity to please us to get those tasty treats.
Well this day dreaming suddenly shifted to a chaos was happening at the main door of jeevashram.
We rushed to the main gate and i almost cried out for help, i saw a female dog in a bad state. the dog was in severe pain when brought to jeevashram. Some one had forcefully inserted the nail driver into her vagina. the screw driver was visible from outside (vulvar lips) but was difficult to pull it.. We rushed and took her directly to the X-ray room to take the radiographs and to find out the length of driver.nail and screw were visible and apparently look quite long. finally we prepared the dog for surgery under general anesthesia. we took linea alba approach to operate the dog. we gave incision on vagina to expose the tool and with great difficulty we were able to take out the whole nail driver. we sutured the vagina part and the spayed the dog. she is still in trauma and is afraid of people and other animals. she is on fluid therapy, antibiotics and pain killer drugs.today she had food as well.

i don't have words to express my anger towards such a horror.......

God may give peace to all humans and animals and definitely He is there to teach a lesson to such cruel people.

WHAT IS ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE?
Animal sexual abuse, often referred to as bestiality*, is the sexual molestation of an animal by a human. This kind of animal abuse includes a wide range of behaviors such as vaginal, anal, or oral penetration; fondling; oral-genital contact; penetration using an object; and killing or injuring an animal for sexual gratification. Animal sexual abuse may or may not include physical violence other than the sexual violation; and may or may not result in physical injury to the animal. Animal sexual abuse, like rape, is the eroticization of violence, control, and exploitation.

WHO SEXUALLY ABUSES ANIMALS?
Although there has been little research to date on animal sexual abuse and its perpetrators, case reports and anecdotal accounts indicate that men are the primary abusers, although
women and children may be forced or coerced into sexual acts with animals or may be abusers themselves. Reports indicate a wide age range of abusers. Abusers may feel isolated, insecure, and powerless. They may have difficulty in forming healthy interpersonal relationships with other adult humans and may have experienced neglect, physical abuse or sexual abuse as a child. Some may suffer from mental illness.
WHY DO PEOPLE SEXUALLY ABUSE ANIMALS?
People sexually abuse animals for a variety of reasons. Many abusers fall into one or more of the categories below (adapted from Carol Adams, 1995):
1. Opportunistic/Experimental: This type of abuse is often viewed as the act of a curious youth or a lonely man. These individuals may seek out animals for sexual gratification because animals are accessible, vulnerable, and non-threatening. They may abuse an animal out of boredom, insecurity, curiosity or as a substitute for a human partner. This type of abuser becomes accustomed to the idea that it is acceptable to exploit and control others for his/her own sexual gratification.
2. Fixated/Primary: In this category of animal sexual abuse, animals are the primary or exclusive focus of a human's sexual desires. These abusers often refer to themselves as "zoophiles". Some individuals may have species or gender preferences and use pornography involving animals. They defend their sexual abuse of animals as "consensual", claiming it benefits their "partners", and characterize their behavior as "loving". The rationalizations used to justify their actions are the same as those used by pedophiles, and, as in the case of victims of pedophiles, the claimed motivations don't matter to the victims. Just as pedophiles may seek out employment in child-related fields, this type of animal sexual abuser may seek out employment in animal-related fields in order to have access to numerous potential victims.
3. Domineering/Sadistic: Batterers, rapists and pornographers may force women, children, and other vulnerable individuals to have sex with animals in order to humiliate, dominate, control, and exploit the human and animal victims. Children who have been sexually abused may act out their abuse on animals in an attempt to gain a sense of control. Some
people may derive sexual gratification from the pain and suffering inflicted while sexually abusing animals. This type of sadistic sexual abuser will probably injure or kill the animal.
Any type of animal sexual abuse can involve the use of force and physical violence and may result in the intentional or unintentional death of the animal.
WHAT ANIMALS ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE?
Cases of sexual abuse of animals include many species, both domestic and wild. Dogs and horses are the most frequently mentioned targets. Their availability and status as companions may make them likely victims. Dogs may be acquired from free-to-good home advertisements, pet shops, breeders, animal shelters or as strays. Animals who are kept outside, such as dogs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, may be abused by "fence-jumpers" who trespass to gain access to animal victims. Wildlife in captivity, such as those in roadside zoos, may also be vulnerable to abusers.
