Fever, depression, lethargy, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite. Parvo strikes very fast. If you have a puppy or dog with the above symptoms, it is a medical emergency. Parvo can kill in 24-72 hours.
If you are human your cheeks go bright red.
how young is your kitten?and how bad do you think the cold is? if it is just a little cold you might be able to fix your little baby up at home but if not and if your kiten is whizing and has mucus coming from the nose and runny eyes you need to take it to the vet.and if your kitten is younger then 3 weeks you have to keep a very close eye on it to make sure it feeds and is not getting anyworse if it does take it striaght to the vet.
and if it is older like a month in age and up it would be easier to take care of by puting a thing called "upper respiratory remedy" i get the kind for ferrets because i own ferrets aswell as cats but you could probably get it at petsmart. all you have to do is dab alittle on its chest and a very small amont right above its little nose you should porbaly put it on the bedding and not directly on the kitten if it is younger then 3 weeks i would recommend taking it to the vet first but this should help it has helped alot of kittens my family has rescued.
i hope your little baby gets better all the best.
Yes, cats and kittens can most definitely get the flu - it can be pretty serious sometimes and fatal in kittens. Symptoms can include sneezing, runny eyes and nose and loss of appetite. A trip to the vet is highly recommmended if you suspect your pet has cat flu. It's worth noting that humans can't catch flu from cats and vice verse. There's plenty of help and information on cat flu and cat colds at http://www.CatFlu.biz
Absolutely! It is incredibly important to vaccinate kittens as it helps boost their immune system and protect them against several diseases.
Kittens need two initial vaccinations - one at eight or nine weeks old, and the second one two weeks after that, usually at twelve weeks old.
The main diseases that kittens are vaccinated against are:
Other vaccinations that are recommended but not compulsory:
Vaccinating kittens and cats against these major infectious diseases is a necessity to the health of your pet. The vaccine protects your own pet and prevents it from being a carrier of disease and spreading infection.
Yes, there are some scientists looking into it, but they found a disease inside a mountain gorilla's immune system and he has all the symtoms but the gorilla acts fine. They know that if a perso got it, they would die immediatly. So yes.
A bite of a mosquito can possibly transfer a number of parasites to humans and they are the Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. A person bitten by a mosquito infected with any of these parasites can contract a fatal disease called malaria.
Hookworm is one of the main internal parasites of puppies, kittens, dogs and cats. The others are coccidia, roundworm, whipworm,and tapeworm.
Hookworm infection is very serious for the following reasons:
There are 4 hookworm species in the United States and Canada. A. braziliense, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum, and A. tubaeforme. A. tubaeforme bothers cats, A.braziliense and Uncinaria stenocephala bother both dogs and cats, and A. caninum lives in dogs. A. braziliense occurs only in the warmer temperatures of the south, while the others occur both in the south and the north. Uncinaria stenocephala causes the least problems to pets; and Ancylostoma caninum is the worst, mainly settling in the small intestine of dogs. Both A.caninum and A. tubaeforme can cause severe anemia, however, hookworm infection is not as common in cats as it is in dogs, and is usually less severe.
How does my pet get hookworm?
Hookworms are very tiny (about 1/8 inch), and have several ways of entering a new host as a larvae.
Some puppies will be born infected and some will become infected while drinking colostrum from their mother's teat. Some will be infected from larvae in the litter box. Puppies born infected may be shedding eggs in their stool within 2 weeks of birth.
What is the life cycle of the Hookworm and how to they eat?
The hookworm is so serious because of its life cycle and feeding method.
After arriving inside the host, the larvae develop six sharp teeth and travel to the small intestine. Some will settle there, but others burrow through and migrate to the lung tissue. Those that reach the lungs will develop into adults, burrow back out into the trachea. Then they're coughed up to be swallowed again and travel back to the intestine.
Some of the larvae go dormant while burrowing through organ walls and form cysts. Most eventually emerge to complete their migration.
The adults that live in the small intestine hang onto the wall with their teeth and drink the hosts blood. (Other species of worms simply absorb the hosts' digested food through their skin.) They spend their lives drinking the blood and mating. The active worms leave bite marks that continue to seep blood where they've been. When the female produces eggs, the eggs are released into the intestinal contents to be passed out with the stool.
The eggs hatch in the environment and develop through three larval stages before they're ready to infect a new host. The eggs and larvae will die if exposed to the sun and drying out.
The typical life cycle - from the time your pet ingests the original larvae to the adult worm shedding eggs - is three weeks. Your pet may keep reinfesting itself by licking in the eggs while it's grooming; or your child may pick up the eggs on their hands while petting the dog or cat.
How do I know if my pet is infected? Are there symptoms?
The best way to assure yourself that your pet is hookworm free is to have your veterinarian check a stool sample on an annual basis. They'll also check for any other parasites.
Some symptoms of heavy infestations are severe anemia with pale muceous membranes and gums. Some pets may become weak, suffer weight loss or have black, tarry stools. Adults get bloody diarrhea, cramping, vomiting and weight loss, in addition to anemia. The pet may or may not have diarrhea. If hookworms are common in the area, pets may show signs of skin disease from the larvae burrowing through the skin as the pet lays on the ground.
Hookworm infection is frequently fatal to young puppies who need all of their red blood cells for rapid growth and really can't spare any for the worms. Puppies may look healthy at birth, but be deadly sick within two weeks. A badly infected puppy may need a transfusion and iron supplements to keep it alive, as well as treatment to rid it of the worms.
How is it treated?
There are several products available to deworm pets. Your veterinarian is familiar with all of the deworming products and will recommend the one that he/she feels is best for your particular pet. You will probably be asked to repeat the treatment in 2 to 3 weeks, because the treatment can only kill the worms that are in the intestinal tract. Any worms that are still encysted or migrating through the pet's body won't be affected.
If the mother didn't receive treatment before pregnancy, the puppies will need repeated treatments to rid them of the infection. This should be started as early as 2 weeks after birth and may continue up to 3 months. Kittens do not get prenatal infection, so the treatment may start at three weeks old and continue up to 9 weeks. The mothers should be treated at the same time as the babies to prevent recurrence and further environmental contamination.
It cannot be stressed enough that it's important to treat the females before the pregnancy starts. Preventing the hookworm from ever infecting the puppies is easier, cheaper and safer than deworming them afterward. Many puppies don't have their first exam until they are 12 weeks old. This means that the families of these pets may already be contaminated with hookworm from handling and petting.
If your pet is on a heartworm prevention medication, it is being treated for hookworms on a monthly basis. This also serves as protection for the families of these pets. In addition, cleaning up the stools daily and having your veterinarian check for hookworm eggs every few months should prevent any infestation from becoming too severe. information and pictures from whitneysvet.com
Deer Mouse urine and droppings can carry the hanta virus which is potentially very dangerous. It is an important distinction that Hantavirus can not be found in the droppings of regular house mice. Deer mice can be identified by their larger ears, and their droppings are rough and peppercorn shaped, where a house mouse dropping is smooth and resembles a grain of rice. Deer mice are rare in an urban setting, primarily residing in the country. Hantavirus has an incubation time of 2-4 weeks in humans, before symptoms of infection occur. These symptoms can be split into five phases: * Febrile phase: Symptoms include fever, chills, malaise, headaches, nausea, abdominal and back pain, respiratory problems such as the ones common in the influenza virus, as well as gastro-intestinal problems. These symptoms normally occur for 3-7days. * Hypotensive phase: This occurs when the blood platelet levels drop and symptoms can lead to tachycardia and hypoxemia. This phase can last for 2 days. * Oliguric phase: This phase lasts for 3-7 days and is characterised by the onset of renal failure and proteinuria occurs. * Diuretic phase: This is characterized by diuresis of 3-6L per day, which can last for a couple of days up to weeks. * Convalescent phase: This is normally when recovery occurs and symptoms begin to improve. == Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a deadly disease transmitted by infected rodents through urine, droppings, or saliva. Humans can contract the disease when they breathe in aerosolized virus. HPS was first recognized in 1993 and has since been identified throughout the United States. Although rare, HPS is potentially deadly. Rodent control in and around the home remains the primary strategy for preventing hantavirus infection. These symptoms, which are very similar to HFRS, include tachycardia and tachypnoea. Such conditions can lead to a cardiopulmonary phase, where cardiovascular shock can occur, and hospitalization of the patient is required.
Flatworms are the simplest of worms. Small flatworms release a mucus that they use their cilia (small bristles) to move around on. Larger flatworms can swim by contracting the sides of their bodies. Some even have suckers that can attach to other moving objects.
Malaria
Yellow Fervor
West Nile Virus
these diseases find a hospitable haven in the mosquito's saliva reserve. Mosquitoes use their saliva as a pain-killer and as an anti-coagulant so they actually push some into its victim when they bite. When a mosquito bits an infected animal it sucks these disease into its saliva space. When it bites an uninfected victim it pushes infected saliva into it/him/her.
We have free range British Saddleback Pigs and it is true that the germs and bacteria in a pigs mouth is only second to a crocodile. Peroxide or some strong disinfectant is very recommendable. An anti-tetanus injection would be highly recommended.
There are approximately 460 mosquito species. Of these over 100 can transmit human malaria. Of these 30-40 commonly transmit parasites which cause malaria in humans in areas where it is most prevalent. The single most common carrier is "Anopheles gambiae" which carries the most dangerous malaria parasite species - "Plasmodium falciparum".
Im just gonna make it short and simple...
Its Filariasis..
Similiar To Aedes Mosquito Try Yellow Fever PS:That Is Very Very Very Very Very Serious
Male mosquitoes cannot transmit disease, as they do not bloodfeed. Only females of any mosquito species will be disease vectors. The female Culex spp. can transmit West Nile Virus and Japanese encephalitis.
Horsehair worms are found under the Phylum Nematomorpha (Pechenik, 2010). Their defining characteristic is that they are pseudocoelomates lacking a functional digestive tract in the adult stage. There are about 320 freshwater species and 5 marine species described so far.
Rest assured that parvovirus is specific to dogs alone and cannot be transmitted to humans or other pets of a different species, such as cats.
But, however, humans can get a different form of this virus that is often called Fifth Disease. The real name is Parvovirus B19. Another name for it is Erythema Infectiosum which is also called Slapped Cheek Syndrome.
There are several methods. The most common is to keep the media (food, nutrition source for the bacteria) cold as temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit inhibit (but do not prevent) bacterial growth. Another common method is to reduce the water activity of the media, either by removing water (drying) or adding substances that bind the water and make it unavailable to bacteria (salt, sugar). There are also various antimicrobial chemicals, agents, processing aids and other substances that will either directly or indirectly inhibit or prevent bacterial growth.
At workplaces that are dealing with food and drinks then gloves are normally worn, to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of illnesses. You don't have to wear gloves with every food you touch but its better to use some sort of a glove whenever you can.
The use of gloves does not replace proper hand hygiene. Sometimes gloves are reused to the extent that they are more dangerous than properly washed and sanitized bare hands.
Remember to wash and sanitize hands before putting on the gloves. If they are the disposable type, replace them often. If they are multi-use gloves, they need to be cleaned and sanitized frequently. The primary purpose of the gloves is to protect the food, not to protect your hands.
There is so much I could say on this, I lost 80 out of 120 tomato plants to the Tobacco moziac virus in about a week. Try the link below for all the information you need.
chicken is found all over the world it is found in north America, south America, Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe, but not in Antarctica it is too cold. chickens are usually farm animals and if they are wild they live in grassy and at the same time rocky areas.
As a vasoconstrictor, caffeine narrows the blood vessels in the body. Symptoms of the common cold like nasal congestion may be temporarily relieved through the use of caffeine by reducing acute inflammation of the turbinates. Also, the stimulant effects of the drug can minimize the sedative effects of antihistamines and reduce fatigue associated with the common cold.
You grab both its wings in against its body. One of the best ways is to use an old fish landing net. Corner the chicken in the barn or shed and scoop it up or trap it with the hand net. Remove it quickly before it gets tangled.
Most fast-food restaurants receive their bulk raw food from giant plants that service not only all of that chain's restaurants, but other chains as well. If infection occurs in one of those giant plants, it can become widespread very quickly. This event happens very rarely. These super-processors are financially and ethically very vulnerable to problems of this sort, so they know it's in their best interest to perform a ton of quality assurance all down the line. Infections, then, are VERY rare. Usually, when something does infect, it's a bacterium that's endemic -- very, very common. A few of these are: * E. coli * Salmonella sp. * Brucella sp. * Shigella sp. And many others. This kind of thing makes news, so when it happens, we all get to hear about it. This, however, is not proof positive that fast-food restaurants or their suppliers are casual about their clients' health -- they most definitely aren't.
