Amazing Kind Souls - Foster parents, families, homes !

My this article is dedicated to Foster Homes, families and foster parents.

I have a great respect for those wonderful kind souls who choose to foster a homeless dog/cat along its journey to find a forever sweet home and loving and caring family. I sincerely admire. Imagine taking in a needy homeless animal and providing all the necessities, giving them love, nursing them when they are sick, teaching them everything including trust, then teach them how to socialize, provide them a safe, clean and loving environment in their homes taking care of them in any way !   

This can not be done by everyone but only those wonderful souls can do who sincerely love all innocent voiceless living beings and also  having strength to do it. Foster homes/ foster families/ foster parents are one of the key to help to homeless, needy animals and  for rescue work.

Here one question comes that what animals are in need of foster homes/ foster families/ foster parents. I can give some examples.

Dog and cat that is abandoned by its family, abused dog /cat that needs socialization and tender loving care, pregnant dog/cat that need personal care, puppies/kittens those are too young to be adopted, injured dog/cat who need medical help, is under treatment and need personal care or that has had surgery and needs a place to recover from health issue, abandoned mother (dog/cat) with a litter of puppies/kittens, etc.

The animal lovers and rescuers desperately need of foster homes, families for the animals they rescue, otherwise they are unable to rescue more animals who are in distress, suffering in pain even facing death.

If you sincerely agree with my views so please share and spread the word of awareness. Help homeless animals who desperately in need help.

Thanks and hats off to all amazing souls who are already doing and thanks and hats off  to all in advance who will start from now !

Save lives of innocent voiceless creaters. Make a difference !

Arthritis in dogs :

Arthritis in dogs is very painful disease just like in humans. It can develop at any age of dog and can make dog's life miserable. It is an inflammation of the joints. Joints are the site of the junction of two or more bones and the joints of the skeletal system are responsible for co-ordinating the movement of a dog. All activities of dog like jumping, running, etc require the use of him/her's leg joints. Arthritis cause the severe pain for the dog because it causes stiffness in the joints and muscles. So early diagnosis can save dog from discomfort.

Types of Arthritis:There are two types of arthritis in dogs.
Degenerative arthritis (DJD)/ Osteoarthritis - which result from damage to the cartilage cushioning the bones of the joint. Cartilage  protects the bones that make up the joints . Normal stress from years on abnormal joints can cause destruction of the cartilage. Hip dysplasia and malformation of the hip sockets, loose knee caps, trauma are the example of normal stress on abnormal joints. Constant jumping,stretching,injuries because of accident or fall, are the examples. Since cartilage has no nerve, it lost ability to protect the bone surfaces and the damage can progress with no outward symptoms.

Inflammatory Joint Disease ( IJD) - can be caused by infection/ by underlying immune-mediated diseases. Fungal infection, bacteria, tick-borne disease also can be the cause of inflammatory joint disease. It affects multiple joints. It cause fever, stiffness, anorexia ( lack or loss of appetite for food/ desire to lose weight by not eating food.

One more rare type of arthritis is Rheumatoid arthritis. It is rare in dogs.  
Types of arthritis can be distinguished by their causes and symptoms.

Causes :
Age, obesity, hip dysplasia and related to it diseases, injuries, improper nutrition, poor breeding practices, pain in the legs, etc.

Symptoms :
Stiffness, intermittent lameness, swollen joints, reluctance to move/ rise, depression, lethargy, irritability, weight gain, painful joints, sleeps/rest more than usual, loss of appetite, aggression when joints are touched, disinterest in physical activity, visible joint deformities, while walking abnormal stance, limping, lagging behind on walks, yelping when touched, difficulty in changing position, etc.
Dog arthritis usually so mild and appear gradually then slowly worsen over time that's why owners/ animal lover people may miss them. Affected dog may become three-legged lame.

Diagnosis :
Because infectious joint disease and immune-mediated joint disease call for different treatment protocols so no doubt diagnosis must be accurate. A complete physical examination  can help to see the location of dog's joint pain. MRI ( Magnetic Resonance Imaging)  and CT ( Computed Tomography ) will help to diagnosis arthrisis in dog. Also it may be diagnosis by present symptoms, history, sample and analysis of synovial fluid and lubricating inside of the joint capsule may help to diagnosis of infected joints.
 
Treatments :
There are Surgical and non-surgical types of treatment in dog's orthritis. These options can improve in dog's comfort. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ( NSAID's,drugs like Rimadyl, Deramaxx are the example which may advised by vet), vaccines, surgery, joint fluid modifiers, natural cures, etc.
According to veterinary doctor If surgical/surgery is not advisable then vet may suggest for non-surgical treatments like massage therapy, weight management, diet, supplements, acupuncture, rest, etc. which are the best ways to improve dog's comfort in orthritis.
There are some Natural cure treatments like massage oils, herbs, vegetable's intake, these are the natural remedies which will help in dog's arthritis. But be sure, in dog's arthritis any type of treatment surgical/non-surgical/natural cure, should be given under veterinary care only.
 
Animal lovers and pet lovers should be aware of all diseases of dogs/cats/stray animals. All diseases are painful. Arthritis in dogs is really a worse disease.
 
Make a difference by taking care of not only your pets but be kind to all stray animals and take care of them. They desperately need your help. By helping them every time you will be saving voiceless innocent lives.

Diarrhea in dogs :

Diarrhea in dogs means loose, unformed stools. Food takes about eight hours to pass through the small intestines. A normal stool contains no undigested food or blood. But with rapid transit through the bowel, food arrives at the rectum in a liquid state, unformed bowel movement. And this type of rapid transit calls diarrhea in canine.

Causes :
Dietary indiscretion is a common cause. Dogs have tend to eat garbage and decayed food, wild and ornamental plants, grass, dead birds/animals, paper,wood, plastic, many indigestible substances, food intolerance (chicken, egg, fish, spices, fats, beef, meat, etc) and many of these are irritating to the stomach and in results liquid form of stools. Even some antibiotics and medicines and circumstances, depression also can cause diarrhea.

Intestinal parasites are another common cause of acute and chronic diarrhea in both puppies and adult dogs. Hookworm, threadworms,roundworms,whipworms are the main cause for diarrhea. Kidney disease, liver disease, cancer, distemper, parvovirus, etc.

Symptom and colour :
Several small stools in an hour,with straining or 4-5 large stools in a day, weight loss, vomiting, fever, pain, lethargy, depression, loss of appetite, standing anxiously standing at the door and needs to get out quickly and when it is out it runs urgently.
Colour of stool is greenish or yellowish, black and tarry in diarrhea and some times contains blood.

Treatments of diarrhea :
Home treatment :
The most important and first step in diarrhea is to stop giving food for 12-24 hours. Do not give milk. Give fresh drinking water as much as dog wants. Consider giving canine supplemental electrolyte solution with water. After 24 hours watch condition of dog and start giving healthy well balanced home cooked diet which is low fat. Boiled chicken with soup, cooked white rice with chicken soup, cooked oatmeal, cottage cheese in chicken soup or other easily digestible foods. Give 2-3 small meals only in a day. If you are switching food to the dog, then lowly switch the diet back to the dog's normal and regular food or dog might again have diarrhea.

When you should seek veterinary doctor's clinic :
Pay close attention to dog. If diarrhea continues for more than 24 hours to dog, dog appears weak and depressed, running a fever, blood in stool, then do not waste time. Seek Vet assistance immediately. It is important to bring a sample of dog's stool veterinary doctor because it will help vet identify cause for the diarrhea.
If the case is severe or if dog has an organic disease such kidney, liver, thyroid then all can be tested through a blood test. The vet might consider to put him or her on IV fluids to put liquids back into his/her body to hydrate or vet might give medication according cause, dog's body weight, condition.
Take care of not only your pet but also strays. They desperately need your help, support, love and care.

Always remember, treat animal by experienced and qualified veterinary doctor.

Do not buy a pet, consider saving a life by adopting homeless animal from streets, animal shelters, foster homes. Save voiceless innocent lives.

Canine Kidney Problems






Some signs of kidney problems in canine
§  Pale gums
§  Vomiting
§  Loss or decreased appetite
§  Depression and restlessness
§  Change in water consumption
§  Blood in urine
§  Change in volume of urine produced
§  Pale gume
§  Weight loss
§  Mouth ulcers
§  Stumbling
Various forms of canine kidney diseas
§  Acute kidney failure
§  Kidney failure due to Lyme/othertick born diseas
§  Chronic kidney failure
§  Glomerulonephritis
§  Congenital kidney failure
There are three possible outcomes from the first phase of treatment of kidney failure in dogs.
§  The kidneys will resume functioning and continue to function for a few weeks to a few years.
§  The kidneys will resume functioning during treatment but fail again as soon as treatment stops.
§  Kidney function will not return. Unfortunately, there are no reliable tests that will predict the outcome.
The second phase of treatment in dogs is to keep the kidneys functioning as long as possible.

Here are some steps to give your pet the very best chance at recovery.
§  Diet:  The  diet should be low in phosphorus, low in protein and it shoud be not acidified. This type of diet will help you  to keep the blood tests as close to normal as possible, and your pet will feel better.
§  Fluids: Fluids should given at home. Once your  pet is stabilized, fluids can be given under the skin (subcutaneously). It will restart the kidney function and will help your pet function begins to fail again. Initially it should done daily then once weekly. Its  depending on the degree of kidney failure.
§  Pure drinking water: Clean and pure filtered drinking water should be given to  canine.Tap water can be poison for him.
§  Calcium and Phosphorus must remain  in blood of canine. Ratio: approx 2:1, A drug to regulate the parathyroid gland and calcium levels. The increase in blood phosphorus level, as mentioned above, stimulates the parathyroid gland to increase the blood calcium level by removing it from bones. This can be helpful for the sake of the normalizing calcium:phosphorus ratio, but it can make the bones brittle and easily broken.
§  Hydrotherapy: This therapy utilizes alternating hot and cold water on the affected area, which promotes rapid healing. Hydrotherapy is found beneficial in repairing injured and torn muscles more quickly by bringing more blood, oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This therapy can  heal a canine from chronic sinus infection, repair torn ligaments.
§  Phosphorous should  be removed from the body by filtering through the kidneys ( a phosphate binder). Once the filtration process is impaired, phosphorous begins to accumulate in the blood. Certain drugs will bind excess phosphates in the intestinal tract so they are not absorbed, resulting in lower blood levels of phosphorus.
§  Exercise: This is the thing many neglect when pet is sick. Many owners don’t realize that exercise not only stimulates circulation and strengthens muscles it also strengthens your canine’s organs, intestines and stomach and creates wonderful healing chemicals within the body. But  if your  canine is extremely sick so you should always start off slowly,  with short walks and build up day by day.
§  Many canines in kidney red blood cell count, anemia, synthetic forms of erythropoietin. A drug to stimulate the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells and will correct the anemia in most canine .But  it is sad that for some dogs, the drug cannot be used long termfailure have a low    
If your canine shows any symptoms, please take him/her to see your veterinarian immediately.It does not matter what stage your dog is at, the sooner you start doing everything you can to naturally support his body in the healing process, the better his chances will be for recovery.
Always treat your pets by an experienced and qualified Veterinary Doctor only.

Do not abandon your pet, he is your beloved family member.







He sat by the road
hours passed so slow,
tired and hungry
and all alone,
and no other place to go.

Though his family left him by the road,
but he is thinking,
he is lost from them,
he is not walking as
he is still thinking,
they must be searching for him.

Slowly as time is passing,
now is fearing with setting sun,
he is scared now
but still patiently waiting .

Dusk has come
still he is thinking
he is lost from his family
they will come.

Dawn appears,
he is tired, lies there
shivering in cold,
he is hungry
his throat is parched and dry.

Now cheeks are wet
with his tearsTears
but still he is waiting.

Hours pass and came another day
he wants to move
but is afraid
for if he will move
and his family will come
for searching him

Who will make him understand
do not wait child
your family will not appear
you are not lost
but they dumped you

No one will know your pain
no one from your family will come
you will starve to death
along the road
so hungry, so thin,
but still waiting.

You are confused
you want to ask
with tears in your eyes.

That what you have done wrong
you always loved your family
why they will leave you alone to die.

Your unconditional love
still can not understand.
Still you trust them
that your family loves you
will come to take you home.

So child, you are waiting
and will be waiting till you die
but your family will not return.


-----------------------------------------------------



Dear Animal Lovers,

If you have pets at home, i hope you love them and continue taking care of these sweet beings. However, if for whatever reason in future, please do not dump, abandon your them.
Pets are emotional beings and can not imagine staying away from their families. The feeling of being abandoned often kills many. They are your beloved  family members. Accept them with your heart and love. You are only the world for their lives. Come what may, never abandon your pet.

Hence Godforbid, do not let your beloved family member live and die in such, loneliness and despair.
