How To Provide Excellent Equine Injury Care

By Joshua Adekane


Horses, by virtue of their degree of outdoor activity and their impulse to react to a situation before considering effects, are susceptible to injury. Popular incidents include lacerations , puncture wounds, as well as abrasions. Just like all wide open wounds, your horse is at risk of infections when the wound is not medicated promptly. Equine injury treatment is not horribly challenging once you know the steps you need to take.

Healing Lacerations

A laceration, or cut, will often need a round of antibiotics to prevent contamination, so you should contact your equestrian veterinarian if a laceration occurs. In the meantime, there are certain steps you need to take to supply enough wound care to lower the pain your horse experiences and to lower the potential risk of an infection. By using a big cleanse syringe with an unbreakable bowl, you should flush the laceration with sterile saline. This is a better option compared to plain tap water mainly because it has no impurities that can worsen the risk of contamination. A cleanse bandage must be used to guard the injury through further toxins; do not apply ointment or any other topical medications without the guidance of your animal medical practitioner.

Healing Puncture Injuries

A puncture wound on your horse's chest or abdominal area will require an urgent situation call to your veterinary specialist. Nonetheless, a pierce injury to a leg or hip is often not too severe. When your horse will allow you to use equine wound treatment, the first thing must be to quit the hemorrhage. You must do this by making use of direct pressure with a clean gauze bandage or small towel. Next, eliminate the wound with a Q-Tip and sterile saline . If the wound appears to deep to determine if it is really clean, you might need to make contact with an equestrian veterinarian to make certain that your horse's injury will not become infected.

Treating Abrasions

An abrasion, or scrape, might be unattractive, but it's commonly shallow sufficient in order to clean efficiently without the assistance of an expert veterinarian . Once you've determined that the abrasion is the only problem, that means there are no broken bones or muscle injuries, you can give equine injury care to the damaged area. The injury needs to be carefully purged clean of dirt and grass utilizing sterile saline as well as a syringe. Once you've thoroughly cleaned the area, use an antiseptic solution like betadine to the wound to ward off any contagious microbes. Next, use a clean bandage to the wound. The wound should be modified periodically; take time to clean up and reapply antiseptic solution with each new bandage until the abrasion has cured over. Bear in mind that there might be discoloration below the abrasion, so if your horse appears to be in pain for more than a few days, you might want to see a veterinarian for the prescription for an anti inflammatory medication.

Get Ready

There are going to be lots of times that you along with your horse won't be near home when a wound happens. Good equine wound care depends on your being prepared for an accident when it occurs. This is why you must always have a first aid kit with you that contains sterile saline, a syringe and a bowl, fresh bandages, and germ killing solution so you can treat your horse whenever and wherever he needs it.

Purchasing The Right Type Of Lead Or Headcollar For Your Pup

By Andre Goff


A dog owner will be glad to be informed about a Halti harness will take the shape of the head as soon as it is fitted on your doggy. Two rings are found beneath the chin. This is an adjustable harness that has a sliding mechanism. After the buckle has been secured, it should fit around the neck in an accurate manner.

The best guide that a dog owner can use is two-finger slackness. When you fit one of the collars on your doggy, the nose band will sit naturally, and it should fit on the nose and away from the eyes. When the pressure on the chin strap is released, it should allow the mutt to be able to open the mouth without any restriction.

These halti harnesses are composed of a number of different parts and they include a nose band, the cheek piece, the lead ring, a slip ring and also the harness. You should note that there exists the possibility that the mutt can remove the harness from his head after you have fitted it.

To remove this possibility, a dog owner is advised to tighten the harness such that you are only able to fit two fingers or three fingers under these collars. Linking the sections of the collars to a conventional harness is advisable, and a safety strap is something that is recommended for a dog owner to use.

A training lead can also be used to prevent your doggy from removing a harness, and one end of the training lead can be strapped to a lead ring, and the other end to a regular harness. Troubleshooting these collars is a simple procedure, and here is how to go about it.

The first thing is to show a dog one of them, and allow him to take a sniff of it. Let him understand that there is nothing to be afraid of. To fit the collars, you can give your doggy some treats when your hand is through the body of one of the collars.

Once you have been successful in putting one of these collars on to the head of your doggy, you should allow him to wear it for several minutes so that he gets used to having it around his head. Try and distract your dog, and you can give him a treat or by playing with him.

After distracting the animal in this manner, attach one lead to this harness, and to ensure your dog does not attempt to remove it using his paws, you can hold a tasty treat in the air so that your dog will be forced to lift his head up. One needs to exercise patience while training a dog to wear one of the collars.

The reward for your efforts lies in the fact that the Halti collar is a comfortable one, and the dog will enjoy going out for a walk, and so will you.

Get Dog Food

By Roberta Chrabasz


For many years my first cat absolutely loved to eat the crunchy commercial pet foods, even when I supplemented that with lots of fresh meat, fish, eggs, and cheese. This is what started my search for the best possible dry cat food that I could find on the market. I came across one brand, made with lots of high quality ingredients and natural preservatives, that is produced in Canada and promoted by leading holistic veterinarians from around the world. In fact, this brand included real whitefish and salmon, chicken meat, livers, and fat, as well as fresh fruits, herbs, and vegetables like pumpkin, kelp, and alfalfa.

The AAFCO label is the first element the consumer should look for on a dog food package. The AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) develops and implements laws, regulations, standards and enforcement policies for regulating the manufacture, distribution and sale of animal feeds. The AAFCO approval is required for every dog food provider to be able to put their product on the market. Information about the basic nutrients provided by a specific type of dog food should also be found on the package. The ingredients are listed in order of weight according to the AAFCO regulations. In a descending order of weight, the ingredients should also be stated by their specific names and not a general terminology such as "grain" instead of "corn."

Not knowing of these dangers, I used the gourmet dry food as almost half of my cat's diet. As a result, she became another of those cats afflicted with the irreversible neurological conditions. As she developed wobbly hind legs, and as she was having great difficulties swallowing, urinating, and defecating properly, my cat began to lose a whole lot of weight. When she started having trouble simply breathing, I really began to fear the worst. Her veterinarian finally suggest I euthanize her, after all attempts at treatment failed.

From this experience I learned the great importance of natural and balanced pet diets, especially those that are homemade. Although I will very rarely recommend a few acceptable commercial food brands, I most often advise my veterinary patients to give their pets real, home-prepared foods.

A good number of veterinarians continue to recommend processed, "premium" dry pet foods, in spite of evidence suggesting these can be extremely detrimental to your pet's health. These commercial brands are creatively marketed as the healthiest diet options for your pet, even as the companies know this not to be true. An overwhelmingly amount of research shows a strong connection between a dramatic decline in our pets' overall health and the increasing use of those "premium" processed pet foods. There are many uncontrollable factors, such as over-vaccination and poor genetics, that contribute to pet health problems, by far the most important factor is an insufficient diet. Our pets are now regularly diagnosed with all sorts of conditions, from skin, teeth, and gum diseases, to diabetes, obesity, renal failure and anal gland blockages-all of which can be traced to improper nutrition. It should now be clear that an obscene number of our pets' health issues are directly attributable to the consumption of such mass-produced, processed pet foods.

If you want your pet to enjoy a long and healthy life, it is essential that you provide it with a balanced, natural diet made with fresh, real foods. For my own pets' recipes, I will choose anything from raw chicken necks, wings, even whole carcasses, to raw fish and eggs, organ meats from beef or lamb, in addition small amounts of dairy items. Because providing greens is also important, I will also add parsley or wheat-grass, broccoli, carrots, sweet potato, apple, pear, pineapple, and whatever other fruits and vegetables I have available. Using seaweeds like kelp powder or nori flakes, I am able to add further vitamin and minerals to their diet. I make sure that all of the foods I use are organic, whenever possible, and are also of human-grade.

It certainly does not have to be difficult or expensive to provide your pet with a healthy, natural diet. Above all, you can take pleasure in knowing that your pet is now more likely to live a longer, healthier, and happier life.

On Dog Food

By Ezekiel Yates


In today's world, we are bombarded with images pressuring us to exercise daily, eat healthier, and generally take good care of our bodies. Our pets most likely are not concerned with such matters, however, as their owners, we must be responsible for their overall health, as well. With this in mind, many dog owners are abandoning store-bought dog food brands for their own homemade recipes. Even compared to the brands purchased from the veterinarian's offices, homemade meals are very often more healthier choices for your furry friend.

Looking at the ingredients list on any prepackaged bag of dog food will likely confuse and disgust most dog lovers, with all kinds of items listed people cant even pronounce. It could shock some to see things like bone meal, animal byproducts, and any number of things you would think are inedible as major parts of your pet's diet. Most of these ingredients are not natural parts of a dog's diet, though they may be great for your garden's compost pile.

Leaving any number of substances that cannot be processed naturally, many of these ingredients just are not conducive to a dog's digestive system. The amount of protein content listed on the package, of course, will seem sufficient and beneficial for your dog's good health. However, most pet owners are not told that these high levels of protein come at the cost of low digestibility for their dog. Usually to save money, manufacturers us proteins from plant-based sources which are not natural parts of dog's diets, like various soy products, corn gluten, wheat gluten, and other grains which dog's have trouble digesting.

Also, active dogs require a certain amount of fat in their diet, which dry pet food typically does not adequately supply. Fat in a dog's diet is crucial for maintaining optimal performance of various body systems, such as the kidneys, as well as for storing energy. You are able to eliminate the countless unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients from your dog's diet by preparing the meals yourself, choosing on the best and most essential items for your pet's health.

Pet owners should do a little research on some of the different artificial flavorings and colorings that go into each bag of food from the store shelves. Then there are the various preservatives used to keep the dog food "fresh" but have no nutritional value whatsoever for the dog. Our pets are essentially family members, therefore we must provide for their nutrition and health as best we can.

Choosing to make your dog's food yourself is not necessarily an expensive, complicated, or time consuming option. There are so many delicious recipes with various ingredients that most dogs love and enjoy. A lot of the more popular homemade dog food staples include honey, peanut butter, veggies and fresh meats, which most dogs really love.

If you truly do consider your pet as part of your family, then you should certainly feed your pet as if it is family. While it may seem a bit odd at first to prepare your pet's food along with yours, but the benefits of doing so will make your pet much healthier, and surely make you both much happier.

A Look at Some Common Dog Behavior Problems

By Sarah H Raught


Your dog can be your best friend, but on occasion their manners leave a little to be desired. It can be difficult to teach your dog better manners if you have never been confronted with these issues before. This type of matter can make you slightly irritated to extremely anxious. Below we will offer some suggestions on the most prevalent behavior issues with dogs and the best ways to take care of them.

One of the more annoying habits that a dog can have is jumping on people with their paws. If your dog does not like the person that it is doing this to, this can cause some major difficulties. Usually this starts early on when the puppy jumps up in a playful manner. At this stage, it is cute and usually okay. The only problem is, if this type of behavior is allowed to persist, although cute, it will develop into a very bad habit later on in life.

Don't try to push the dog away, as this will be interpreted as playing. It's best to turn to the side with your body so the dog can't get its paws on your chest. The basic "sit" command can be helpful here, and you should praise the dog for sitting. A dog can be trained out of jumping, and its best to do this at as young an age as possible.

When you are out for a leisure walk with your pooch, is he yanking on the leash nonstop? When you are leading your dog with a leash, does he try to drag you along? This could appear like a trivial thing. Do not minimize the condition; it could grow into something more severe. The awful things that could occur if your dog got off the leash could range from a dog fight to getting hit by a car. Dogs pulling things for people have been going on for many, many years. Persistence can get the job done. Never let your dog take control on your walks; you should always be the one in control. Come to an abrupt halt when your dog is straining on the leash. Stay in place and walk on once your dog has stopped along with you.

Separation anxiety is one of the most widespread issues that dogs are faced with. When a dog is left alone for the day, there is a range of different behaviors that they can show to prove their displeasure. Some symptoms of separation anxiety include urinating or defecation, chewing and constant barking. An additional sign of this is that your dog seems disappointed when you leave your home and then acts up when you get home. This is a tricky thing to have to take care of and it may take awhile to do behavior modifications and training. Leaving the radio on can be helpful, plus it is really important that you leave some toys out for them to play with during the day. Another alternative, if it is doable, is to get a second pet to keep your dog company during the day. Dogs can demonstrate a myriad of negative signs and we have covered just a few of them. Usually, if you dogs are acting out in some unusual way; it can be curtailed if you follow the correct procedure. Dogs already have the tendency to do what we want, and if they do not, we are probably not getting the correct message across to them. Whether you take on the challenge by yourself or if you have help; training your dog is doable with the right manner and a firm hand.

Horse Feed Management

By Ilechukwu Magnus


When we think of horse feed, the image of horses grazing contentedly in paddocks and fields or chomping on hay in a stable may come to mind . However, to help a horse enjoy a long, healthy life, its diet needs to be enhanced with the necessary nutrients.

Broadly speaking, the two types of horse feed diets are either one of hay and oats or a specially compounded one. The diet type will depend on whether the horse does light, medium or heavy work .

Horse Feed- Conventional Horse Feed

It is believed that horses with small workloads can exist on forage alone . But, in doing so, the likelihood is that they may not get sufficient minerals and vitamins. The reason for this is that soil may be lacking in these nutrients and so the crops they produce will also have low levels . Additionally, because forage is obviously subject to seasonal changes, a horse may face hardship in winter. However, such deficiencies can be rectified by adding a feed balancing supplement to the forage and there are no shortage of these. In addition, a popular practice is the use of heat-stable yeast, which makes food usage more efficient and this, in turn, generates better health . Because yeast boosts digestion, it helps with the absorption of all the nutrients . The use of a horse feed balancer can prove an economical way to improve the health of a horse . Adding it to high levels of forage can ensure the horse receives sufficient amounts of each nutrient . The horse's condition and workload will determine the type and level of horse feed balancer used.

Quality Horse Feed- Compounded Horse Feed

Horses are usually required to work hard and give high performances in sporting activities such as eventing, racing and polo. These are demanding situations so is vital that horse feed is formulated and balanced to ensure the horse is mentally and physically fit . Because of the competitive, commercial and welfare implications of these activities, there are a vast range of horse feed supplements available . It is essential that an owner is aware of the particular pressures placed on their horse in each situation . Such knowledge allows them to supplement the horse feed accordingly . For example, rice bran oil is deemed suitable where weight gain and performance are required because it enhances the metabolism of fat and the synthesis of protein whereas flax is good for slow energy release . The horse's overall condition and appearance can be improved by flax because it has a high omega 3 content. It is thought that adding digestible fat to horse feed is an effective way of calming skittish or excitable horses . And, of course, the horse feed should be concentrated to cater for muscle and joint well being, whether it is to achieve high performance or aid recovery I And, undoubtedly, to maintain good muscle and joint health, an appropriately formulated horse feed is needed I And, undoubtedly, muscle and joint health should be protected by a specially formulated horse feed whether it is to achieve optimum performance or assist recovery.

Ways To Care Forr Your Horses Hooves

By Steven Jones


We have all heard the old saying 'no hoof, no pony ' explaining why it's vital to have your pony seen by the farrier frequently.

The Proper balance of the hoof encourages soundness and if the hoof isn't balanced a variety of issues can arise such as bony changes in the foot, soft tissue damage caused by uneven loading and stress thru the limb.

When assessing hoof balance of the horse it is critical to evaluate it from 3 ways; the lateral view (from the side); from the front, and the dorsal view (the bottom of the foot).

From the side view the hoof-pastern axis should form a straight line, i.e. The hoof wall should follow the same line as the pastern bone. From the front the coronary band should be flat and parallel to the ground. From beneath the centre point should be between the widest part and just behind the point of the frog.

If your horse's feet don't match the above outline then you could have them seen by a farrier. Don't be afraid to ask your farrier for information; they'll be able to tell you whether your horse is shod regularly enough and if there's anything more you can do to help. The advice is that a horse should see the farrier each 6 weeks however some horses with poor feet will have to be shod as often as each 4 weeks, while some horses will last 8 -10 weeks with no Problems.

If your horse has issues with its feet then your farrier may suggest remedial shoeing to fix this. This could usually be done with your vet as your farrier may wish to see x-rays to get a better understanding of what is happening within the hoof and the angle of the pedal bone.

There are various different types of shoes that your farrier may select depending on the horse's requirements. These include natural balance shoes (designed to increase natural breakover), egg bar, heart bar, onion formed, front toe clips and side quarter toe clips.

If in any doubt about your horse's needs , speak to your farrier. They have knowledge of balancing and trimming horse's hooves and will most likely be able to help you on the best plan. Using their unique mixing of veterinarian and blacksmith talents, they will help you to look after your horse's hooves in the correct manner.

Types and Symptoms of Dog Skin Allergies

By Jennifer Gretson


Dog skin allergies happen in different ways and because of different causes. No dog is totally safe from them so as a dog owner, you may want to take it into consideration to know what these common types of allergies are and how they are likely to appear on your dogs.

Insects are the most common source of dog skin allergies because their bite creates an allergic reaction. This is what commonly happens with fleas. It's the saliva that gets left behind when they bite that actually causes dog skin allergies.

Aside from this, dogs can also have canine atopy. Atopy is the type of allergy wherein inhalants can be the trigger. Among the most common causes of atopy are pollen, dust mites, and other particles that can get mixed with the air your pets breathe.

People are not the only ones that can get affected by food allergies. Even dogs do. So it would be wise to know what stuff you feed your dogs and to read the ingredients of the kibble that you buy. If you are also introducing a food to your dog for the first time, it would be best to observe how they would react to it.

There are also different ways in which these dog skin allergies would manifest themselves. The most obvious is frequent scratching especially right on the ears of the dog and the hind legs. If you observe that your dog seem to be scratching too much and gnawing on their body parts, better check those areas for any wounds or current infestations.

Eventually, the dogs would have red patches obvious on their skin. When you give them bath, those red spots may be relieved and soothed especially if you use a soap or shampoo with special formulation. At this point, make sure that you are also using mild formulation for your dog because their condition is already sensitive.

In its advance stage, skin infections may eventually become dermatitis. This is also a common symptom that is observed when a dog's skin becomes infested with flea saliva. In its advance stage, the skin becomes inflamed with papules and hair loss also happens.

Regardless of the dog skin allergies which your pet may be experiencing, keep in mind that the best person who could see them is a vet. So if you suspect your dog to be suffering from some unknown allergy, go see their vet immediately.

It's Always Deer Season with Deer Checks

By Alan Plastin


Is your favorite "holiday" the first day of hunting season? Or, do you just love the beauty of these graceful, shy, beautiful animals? If you never outgrew your love of Bambi or can tell how many points a buck has from a mile away then the deer personal checks might be the ones for you.

There are many different deer checks and styles to select from. Some have hunting themes while others go in a different direction and are dedicated to protecting the animals they harbor. You can find checks that contain striking photographic images as well as those that have dazzling realistic illustrations.

One of the most popular check series brings consciousness to the National Wildlife Federation. Their checks have stunning images by artist Rosemary Millette and depict realistic illustrations of buffalo, foxes, a bear, and deer in their natural environment. These checks not only look good but they also raise awareness for a very commendable organization, too.

If it's hunting that you are passionate about then the Buckmasters checks and accessories can't be topped. These contain delicately detailed photographs of bucks in their indigenous settings. Bucks are swollen with pride and the designs show them in everything from fields of lofty grass to snow-covered hillsides.

If you are a fan of the artist Greg Alexander then you'll also like the check series that showcases his illustrations. Is there anything more striking to those who get pleasure from nature than a whitetail buck strolling out of the woods? Greg Alexander's illustrations are pulsating and realistic looking. When you view these checks you'll feel as though you can saunter right into the quiet scene yourself.

Of course, you can also find checks that have gorgeous photographs of deer in the wild, too. Most series come with rotating designs so that every check you write will be different from the one before it. The only problem that you'll have is trying to hand one over to someone because you'll want to keep them all!

Some of the check series come in different styles. While the usual top-tear checks are still obtainable, now you can also get side-tear checks. Some prefer these as they tend to be a little easier to get out without ripping.

Don't forget that you can also purchase coordinating accessories for most of the check series. A beautiful leather checkbook cover or matching address labels can look great with your new deer checks.

If you hesitated in purchasing checks before due to their high cost then you don't have to be anymore. When you order them from a highly regarded dealer online you can save as much as 50%. In addition, you'll have a large variety of designs available to pick from, unlike at your bank where you more than likely had a narrow supply.

When you order your checks on the internet, just make certain you have your routing number and checking account number handy and ready to supply.

What You Want To Know About Breeding And Caring For Baby Snakes

By Greg Weir


Sadly , snakes, like all reptiles, won't breed easily in prison. This is undeniably no reason why herpetologists should just keep single examples, in truth countless species have bred while in the hands of private collectors, and there is not any doubt if snake owners took the effort to invest in collecting 2 snakes of both sexes there would be more baby snakes born in prison.

Live-bearing, or viviparous, species such as boas, garter and water snakes appear to breed much more readily in captivity than egg-laying, or oviparous snake species. Should the herpetologist have the good luck to be successful, she stands an excellent chance of rearing the young. Baby snakes typically start off feeding after their initial slough, which happens 1 or 2 days after birth. The young of water and garter snakes, doubtless the most easily bred of all reptiles in captivity, can typically be started on tiny fish, tadpoles, and earthworms, while people from the much bigger species, like the egg-layers, begin on very little mice, doubtless hairless or new born.

Care should be taken to make sure the most assertive of the the baby snake brood does not monopolize the foodstuffs provided; it can be thus a brilliant idea to split the heavy feeders from the feeble eaters. Baby snakes should routinely be given little things to eat, whether or not they would handle much bigger food, for they've got a tendency to gorge all alone and this could lead to death.

Egg-laying species are extra hard to rear because of need to have to the ideal medium in which to hatch the eggs. Fine sand and leaf mould are excellent in this respect, though fabulous results have been got with foam-rubber, newspaper, and even by leaving the eggs suspended in a plastic carrier bag. No matter what medium is used, the eggs have to be handled as little as you probably can, though frequent checks actually should be made, and damaged or clearly infertile eggs removed. Even though a measure of humidity truly should be preserved, the hatching medium should in no way grow to be soggy - a continuing temperature of approximately 29C is necessary for hatching. Hatching normally happens within five to 10 weeks according to the species. On hatching, the baby snakes might be cared for in the exact same way as many of viviparous snakes.

The snake-breeders major quandary is that of sexing his pets. Infrequently the double-structured knob of the male is obvious when the reptile alleviates himself, but it is very difficult to catch a glance at the precise right moment. Usually the female has a heavier body matched against the male, and her tail is a bit shorter and noticeably less pointed; the male typically has a longer, more slim tail, hard it is touch to tell with out close examination and a pair of snakes of both sexes for comparison.
