Learn about Crohn's disease symptoms and treatments Croup Croup is a childhood condition of the windpipe, airways and voice box Hyaline degeneration, characterized by tissues that become clear and appear glasslike, usually occurs in connective-tissue components of small blood vessels as a result of conditions that may occur in kidney structures (glomeruli) of animals with nephritis or in lymph glands of animals with tuberculosis.

Areas that are harder to clean (grassy areas, carpeting and wood, for example) need to be sprayed with disinfectant or even resurfaced. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy or a combination of therapies, Excessive thirst/increase in water consumption, Unusually sweet-smelling or fruity breath, It is thought that obese dogs and female dogs may run a greater risk of developing diabetes later in life (6-9 years of age), Some breeds may also have a greater risk, include Australian Terriers, Standard and Miniature Schnauzers, Dachshunds, Poodles, Keeshonds and Samoyeds, Juvenile diabetes can also be seen and is particularly prevalent in golden retrievers and keeshonds. It includes a description of the animal (age, species, sex, breed); the owner’s report; the animal’s history; a description of the preliminary examination; clinical findings resulting from an examination of body systems; results of specific laboratory tests; diagnosis regarding a specific cause for the disease (etiology); outlook (prognosis); treatment; case progress; termination; autopsy, if performed; and the utilization of scientific references, if applicable. Contact local animal control officers if the animal who bit your pet is still at large; they will be best able to safely apprehend and remove the animal from the environment. Abnormal amounts of glycogen, which is the principal storage carbohydrate of animals, may occur in the liver as a result of certain inherited diseases of animals; the condition is known as glycogen infiltration.

If your veterinarian has diagnosed your dog with ringworm, he or she will explain what you must do to prevent the fungus from spreading to your other pets—and to the human members of the household. Other tests are designed to identify the causative agents of the disease. The most common form of the disease in dogs is Type I, insulin-dependent diabetes, which occurs when the pancreas is incapable of producing or secreting adequate levels of insulin. 0000004354 00000 n
Many plants are poisonous if eaten, such as bracken fern, which poisons cattle and horses, and ragwort, which contains a substance poisonous to the liver of cattle. In most cases, she’ll appear healthy except for the cough. 0000441699 00000 n

Autoimmune disease, genetics, obesity, chronic pancreatitis, certain medications and abnormal protein deposits in the pancreas can play a major role in the development of the disease. startxref

Heartworm is a parasitic worm that lives in the heart and pulmonary arteries of an infected animal. If a specific diagnosis is not possible, the symptoms of the animal are treated. Rabies is most often transmitted through a bite from an infected animal. The conjunctiva, or lining of the eye, may exhibit pus in pinkeye infections, have a yellow appearance in jaundice, or exhibit small hemorrhages in certain systemic diseases. Cataract, a condition in which the passage of light through the lens of the eye is obstructed, may result from a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism (diabetes mellitus), infections, or a hereditary defect. cxC���3o�l�u#,�� �0�E�iޖ[���N���������N�r�T��Tk�v�c'J�R���T�f������9�'�!ZI̍@E�W@���%��#%���ޟ���#�N�5�4���X) w]�� 8|rt����qH�7�&�co�'����O{��y��@�{�]|�a�v����h�Tׂ*ƿ��. 0000014262 00000 n

Females produce babies called “microfilaria,” which are shed into an animal’s bloodstream but are not capable of directly causing heartworm without first passing through a mosquito. Metaplasia is used to describe the change of one cell type into another; it may occur in chronic irritation of tissues and in certain cancerous tumours. Less frequently, it can be passed on when the saliva of an infected animal enters another animal’s body through mucous membranes or an open, fresh wound. Mild acute inflammations of mucous membranes resulting in the production of thin watery material (exudate) are called catarrhal inflammations; parenchymatous inflammations occur in organs undergoing degeneration. Examples of hemorrhage, the escape of blood from vessels, include epistaxis, or nosebleeds, in racehorses; hematemesis, or regurgitation of blood, in dogs with uremia; hemoptysis, or blood loss from lungs; hematuria, or blood in urine, of cattle with inflammation of the urinary bladder. <0���}�4{ ��X^
