As a continuation of our how-to series you are going to talk about how to identify birds. Perhaps birds aren't really your cup of tea, well believe it or not, it can actually be quite entertaining to be able to identify birds. Birdwatching has always been a popular pastime, especially with noble men and royalty.

In fact, bird watching is still a rather popular hobby. However, it can take a little time and research if you plan to sort through the many airborne creatures that inhabit this world. If you ever had any doubts, why don't you try it for your self?

Rabies is a serious disease that may afflict your pet cat. It is important to learn about it and undertake prompt immunization of the felines.

Feline Rabies is a serious disease that is caused by the notorious
Rabies virus that is responsible for the condition in numerous outdoor
animals as well as humans. Transmission is usually through bite of an
infected animal and the incubation period normally lasts for a few
weeks, though occasionally it may extend to months. Once the symptoms
develop, however, there is no cure and the disease in invariably fatal.
It is therefore important to be aware of this potentially lethal
condition that can easily develop in indoor/outdoor pets.

Routine health care for pets is critical to their ongoing well-being and overall health. In addition to feeding and exercising your pets, you need to maintain their general health.

Regular health care for pets is a crucial part of their ongoing development, health and well-being. Outside regular exercise and a healthy diet, your pet needs routine health care to ensure it has a long and happy life. Regular, routine health care should include proper grooming, good dental care, parasite prevention and regular visits to the veterinarian's office. To learn more, read on.

We have recently seen a number of cases of iron deficiency anaemia, both in cats and dogs.
In iron deficiency, red cells do not develop the normal complement of iron–containing haemoglobin and the cells that form in the bone marrow are small (microcytic, low MCV) and hypochromic (low MCH and MCHC). The process of red cell maturation becomes prolonged so young red cells no longer contain large amounts of RNA and therefore do not appear polychromatic. As a result the anaemia is non- regenerative, with inappropropriately low reticulocyte counts. There is often a marked increase in variation in red cell shape (poikilocytosis) and red cell fragments (schistocytes) are often seen, as above.
In cats, the red cells are often so small that platelets appear larger than red cells and this overlap in sizing can contribute to apparently very high platelet counts as some automated counters include some small red cells in the platelet count.
Iron deficiency anaemia reflects chronic external blood loss, either through the gut associated with bleeding tumours or ulcers or occasionally with severe flea burdens and parasitic blood loss.
Serum iron, iron panels (including serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin and % saturation) and occasionally staining bone marrow for iron, can all be useful in investigating these cases in addition to a full blood count (which must include smear evaluation since not all cases have a low MCV and MCHC). Occult faecal blood testing, after a minimum of three days off all red meat, is useful to check for blood loss in cases where blood loss is not detectable grossly.
While most non-regenerative anaemias have a poorer outlook, iron deficiency responds excellently and quickly to treatment that is aimed at stopping the blood loss and providing oral iron supplementation. Our current crop of iron deficiency anaemia cases all appear to be doing well now that they are on treatment.

Ringworm is a very common form of skin disease that is found in both
dogs and cats.  Although its name makes you think otherwise, this skin
disease isn't caused by any type of worm.  It's actually caused by
fungi known as Dermatophytes that feed on dead tissues found in the
surface of the skin, spreading them around the skin of the animal.

Flea control can be a very hard thing to do especially if you live in areas where fleas are largely populated. Weather has a lot to do with fleas and trying to keep them outdoors and off of your pets can be very changeling.

You can try many of the products available to rid your pets of fleas and then find that you still have the problem. Fleas will lay their eggs in your carpet and on furniture and bedding that your pet happens to lie on.

The first step in flea control is to rid your pet of these blood sucking pests. Talk with your veterinarian to find out the best products available. You can have your pet dipped; buy flea collars, and other products that will eliminate the fleas from your pet.

Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes is a chronic illness in which there are high levels of glucose in the blood. It is seen in dogs and cats as well as humans, and is commoner when overweight. There is no cure, but treatment, which in cats may or may not include insulin injections, can maintain a healthy and active life. This article discusses how diabetes occurs as well as both Western and complementary therapies in its management.

Introduction- Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes is a chronic endocrine (hormone) illness characterised by high levels of glucose in the blood. It is seen in dogs and cats as well as humans, and in each species is commoner in the overweight and obese. There is no cure, but treatment, which in cats may or may not include insulin injections, can maintain a healthy and active life.
