HOW TO TREAT BITES FROM ANIMALS

Animal bites happen far more often that you might realize. Generally they occur between humans and pets, although not necessarily the pet of the individual who has been bitten. Wild animal bites are a bit more uncommon but they also happen from time to time. Be prepared by learning how to treat animal bites.

things to do

• Determine the exact type of animal bite that needs to be treated.
• Identify the bite area
• Cleanse and disinfect the bite area. Rinse it out with water and hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol and then apply an antibiotic cream or ointment. Cover with a clean gauze pad or cloth.
• Contact a physician with the information you have gathered about the patient , the animal that did the biting, and the symptoms of the bite itself. If the bite is from an animal that cannot be identified or located, from a stray animal acting unusually, or an unknown snake, go directly to the nearest clinic or hospital. Poisonous venom may be involved whenever snakes are involved and time may be of the essence.

A BEAR'S SENSE OF SMELL

If someone were to ask you, "how does a bear smell," you could answer in two ways. Bears smell real bad – or so I’m told. Bears are thought to have the best sense of smell of any animal on earth. For example, the average dog’s sense of smell is 100 times better than a human. A blood hound is 300 times better. A bear’s sense of smell is 7 times better than a blood hound’s or 2,100 times better than a human.

Bears acute sense of smell evolved in order to help them find food, mates, keep track of their cubs and avoid danger, particularly between competing individuals. Except for mother bears, bears are territorial animals that need to range widely to find enough food to sustain themselves.
Bears have an incredible sense of smell because the area of their brain that manages the sense of smell, called the olfactory bulb, is at least 5 times larger than the same area in human brains even though a bear’s brain is one third the size.

Bears also have highly developed noses that contain hundred of tiny muscles and let them manipulate them with the same dexterity as people’s fingers. The surface area inside their 9 inch noses also has hundreds of times more surface area and receptors than a human’s.
So the next time you make camp in bear country, make sure you hang a bear bag or store your food in a bear-resistant bag or canister at least 100 yards away from your shelter.

KEEP YOUR DOGS FROM OBESITY!

Obesity is thought to have numerous causes with physical, emotional, environmental, endocrine and/or neurological components. The sedentary lifestyle of the domestic dog, combined with high rates of surgical contraception, may play a dramatic role in the environmental and endocrine mechanisms, respectively. Other factors such as musculo-skeletal problems and/or developmental abnormalities greatly influence the ability to exercise and ultimately contribute to weight gain. The indiscriminate feeding habits including table scraps, poor diet, constant access to food, and other poor eating rituals is a significant contributing factor. Also, competitive eating in multiple dog households may be a factor not apparent to the owner.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DOG THIS FESTIVE SEASON.

Christmas is an exciting time of the year.
Gifts to buy, decorating to organize, crafts to make, cards to write and send, parties to hold, secrets to keep, and so much more.
The festive season will see us rushing around with barely a moment to spare. That means something will be forgotten, and many times it's our innocent pets.

HOW DO WE CARE FOR OUR NEGLECTED PETS DURING CHRISTMAS?

First, take the dog to a veterinarian. If the dog is reasonably healthy, have the vet give a Rabies vaccine. Never allow your vet to give a vaccine to a sick animal or give several vaccines at once. You will also find out if it is safe to handle the dog.

Remove any parasites. brush or comb the dog to remove any parasites, preferably outdoors. If the vet administered a spot-on treatment like Frontline, don't bathe the dog for at least 48 hours. To remove ticks, collect the following: rubbing alcohol, tweezers, and paper towels. Settle the pup down and rub the alcohol on the ticks, then start plucking those nasty ticks off of him. Be sure to dig the entire head of the tick out as well, because the tick may still survive. If the bites start to bleed, apply pressure on them with a paper towel.

The bleeding will stop shortly. The dog may whine or wiggle if you hurt it, so soothe the animal by speaking softly and petting it.

Groom the dog. Shave matted hair at your discretion, it is usually less painful than picking but can leave the dog somewhat irritated at the sudden loss of fur, rest assured it will grow back quickly enough. Alternatively, carefully use scissors to cut down the center of mats and use a comb to gently pick the mat apart. Feed it. A neglected dog is almost always a hungry dog. When you take the animal to the vet, ask what kind of feeding schedule you should set up. Why? If the dog has a distended belly, and you overfeed it, you could twist its intestines and kill the poor animal. Be sure to provide the animal with clean, cold water as well. Let it rest.Give it some love. It has just been neglected, it searches for a loving and responsible pack. Make it feel loved and let it know that you will care for his future needs because it is CHRISTMAS
