My six year old Ronin, named lizardy, Fluffy. Fluffy is a Chinese Water Dragon. he is about four years old. He is beautiful, very nice, and never bites. It;s really cool to watch him ear giant supper worms and he loves to splash around in his bath. He can run and swim very fast. In the wild he hides up in trees and when a predator flies overhead, he darts into the water and swims away.

He is loved by his family, Jessie, Jalena, Drake (8), Ronin (6), Lejin (4), and other family and friends.

Holistic & Natural Complementary Care Option for Your Pet

by Cheryl Larson, Pet Journal Columnist clarson@petjournalmidwest.com Complementary therapies are available for pets and can be used with conventional veterinary care. While some people choose alternatives to traditional care due to a pet’s previous reactions to traditional care, or because they choose a different philosophy to health, it is important for you to know that many of the services offered at Down To Earth Nutrition and Massage can be complimentary to veterinary care.

Animal Massage has the same health benefits that massage offers humans such as increasing circulation for both blood and lymphatic circulation – which provides support to the immune system. Massage can be helpful with weight-loss as it energizes and can get your pet moving again.

Pain management is improved with the increased circulation, energy flow and relaxation of the muscles.

Reiki is also recognized by many veterinarians to help the body start regulating itself and to smooth out physical and emotional disturbances.

Life-force energy rebalances the complex energy flowing between cells, benefiting the whole pet.

Anxiety, stress, aggressiveness, and other behavior issues are harmful to overall health and benefit from herbs, behavior modification, music and physical aids. Weight-loss can also be accomplished with high quality, appealing food, supplements and proper meat treats.

All of these therapies and more are available to support your efforts to give your pet a better quality of life.

Ask the Vet Grass Scald

by Dr. Kim Everson, Pet Journal Columnist ask-the-vet@petjournalmidwest.com Q: Every spring my lawn has lots of brown spots where my dog urinated. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

slowly released into the surrounding grass. This is why you get a small dead spot surrounded by a lush ring of grass where stools sat on the lawn.

A: That is a very common and frustrating problem. It is such a common complaint, in fact, that pet stores carry numerous treats, vitamins and supplements that promise to prevent yellowing of your lawn by changing your pet’s urine. The big question is do they work? And are they safe?

In small amounts nitrogen is a fertilizer, providing nutrients to the grass to stimulate growth. However, dousing the lawn with nitrogenrich urine puts the grass completely off kilter. While a small amount of nitrogen is required by plants to live, an excess amount interferes with root development, causes dehydration, and essentially sterilizes the plant causing browning and plant death.

Interestingly female dogs cause more lawn scald than males because they empty their bladder in one spot on the lawn whereas male dogs mark in multiple locations.

However, similar damage to shrubbery and ornamental plants can occur if male dogs over-mark on those plants.

The actual cause of urine scald is heavily debated. A common belief is that urine with an alkaline, or basic, pH is the culprit of grass-kill. The proposed solution is to acidify the urine by feeding the pet compounds like dl-Methionine or vitamin C (ascorbic acid). How well these vitamins and supplements work to acidify the urine probably depends on the dog. In order to determine if a urine acidifier is working requires multiple urine pH checks by your veterinarian before and after starting the product. Some dogs have serious medical conditions that may worsen if their urine is acidified, so be sure to check with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement.

In response to this theory of lawn scald, lawn care companies have created supplements for pets that basically dilute the urine to reduce the amount of nitrogen present. This might be done with herbal diuretics or salts that stimulate drinking and promote dilution of the nitrogen in the urine, making it less potent. Again, it is a good idea to check with your Whether or not acidic urine veterinarian before starting such a reduces lawn burn has not been supplement, especially if your pet has proven. A more likely explanation a known medical condition. is over-fertilization of the area with the nitrogen wastes present in the A very safe but more time urine and, to a lesser extent, feces. consuming alternative to diluting The kidneys rid the body of excess your pet’s urine through the use of nitrogen (a product of protein supplements is to follow along behind metabolism) by concentrating it in your dog and saturate the spot where the urine. While feces also contain she or he urinated with water from nitrogen waste, the nitrogen is more a garden hose, gallon jug or bucket.

Doing so will dilute the nitrogen-rich urine making it less toxic to the grass.

Zoo News Hope for the Red Wolves

by Dustin Hermann NEW Zoo Educator North America is home to two species of wolves; the gray and the red. The red wolf is one of the world’s most endangered wild canids. Once common throughout the southeastern United States, red wolf populations were decimated by the 1960’s due to intensive predator control programs and loss of habitat.

Red wolves are social animals that live in packs consisting of a breeding adult pair and their offspring of different years, typically five to eight animals in total. They prey on a variety of wild mammals, such as raccoon, rabbit, white-tailed deer, nutria, and other rodents. Most active at dusk and dawn, red wolves are elusive and generally avoid humans and human activity

canids were captured in Louisiana and Texas, but of this number, only 43 were considered to be purebred red wolves and were therefore placed in captivity. Further breeding experiments and blood tests revealed that only 17 of those 43 were true red wolves. (The other individuals were determined to be other species of canine – OR they were the result of red wolves that had bred with other species, such as coyotes. This means they were not purebred red wolves, but instead “hybrid” animals.) Only 14 of these original 17 animals successfully bred in captivity. By 1980, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service declared red wolves extinct in the wild, or “extirpated.”

All remaining individuals left in the population were in captivity.

After being declared an endangered species in 1973, efforts were initiated to locate and capture as many wild red wolves as possible. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established a captive breeding program for the red wolf and biologists began to remove remaining red wolves from the wild in an effort to save the species from extinction. Over a period of six years, more than 400 wolf-like

By 1987, enough red wolves had finally been bred in captivity to begin a restoration program. Today, an estimated 90 to 110 red wolves roam the wilds of northeastern North Carolina, and another 178 comprise the captive breeding program, still an essential element of red wolf recovery. Interbreeding with coyotes has been recognized as the most significant and detrimental threat affecting recovery of red wolves

in their native habitat. Currently, adaptive management efforts are making good progress in reducing the threat of coyotes while building the wild red wolf population.

mates, so we are confident in the parenting abilities. The newborn pups will likely stay with their parents for at least their first year, or until the SSP (Species Survival Plan) makes recommendations for their new homes to help further propagate their species. We are hopeful that

by July, the pup will start coming out of their den box to explore their exhibit. Be sure to stop by to view these very adorable, very important new additions to the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park family.

The red wolves at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park recently did their part to help their struggling species survive: it was discovered on May 22nd that they became the proud parents of six newborn puppies! Four males and two females were born to our adult female, Mayo, and her mate, Tamaska. Mayo (pronounced MY-oh) was born on May 5th of Photos courtesy of Jessica Hutjens, 2009 and arrived here in October NEW Zoo. of 2013.

Scrappy

by Scrappy, Pet Journal Columnist and Mascot askcrappy@petjournalmidwest.com Happy September to everyone! I hope everyone is out having a great time in the last days of summer. There is so much left to do in the last month that is truly safe to be outside without a parka. So, enjoy it while it’s here.

I mean every moment you’re not slaving at a job, you should be outside.

If you haven’t made exact plans, just go outside and run around your yard.

That’s what we dogs do. Run up and down the street offering a cheerful “howdy” to everyone you see, chase a squirrel, menace that snotty poodle on the next block, eat some grass.

Wait; hold on, I’m still thinking dog here. I really don’t know what you humans do for fun, but whatever it is, get outside and do it. Don’t stop until you’re absolutely exhausted. I mean it! Cause, if while I’m out casing the neighborhood and I see any of you in your house looking out the window or watching any of those abysmal reality shows (like that television nightmare called “Naked and afraid”! Trust me, the whole concept has taken years off my life!), I’m calling the police K-9 unit to write you a ticket or something. At the very least give you a few frothing hostile barks.

Remember, those are German Shepherds and, trust me, they don’t mess around.

Hmmm, what else…oh yeah, I have to go see the vet for surgery.

My family is concerned about a skin tag I have on my side. Hey, I don’t complain when I see those things hanging off of you people. Not like I run up and say “hey,been sitting too close to the microwave, huh? Are you sprouting another arm or maybe a tentacle?” No, I don’t! I have manners. When it’s on you, it’s nothing to worry about. When it’s on me, it’s like the premise of a horror movie.

You’re planning the funeral and asking where in the backyard I want to be buried. You have the mortician on speed dial and wondering how much rouge to put on my cheeks so I can look to so natural and peaceful. Well, forget it! Read my muzzle, No Rouge! Just a little foundation, lip color and liner, something tasteful that’ll go with my fur, and then toss me in a box and plant me. And don’t let Misty touch me! I want to look dignified, not like Lady Gaga. Though she and I do have some things in common, we’re both hounds. Yow, zing!! I may not be a kitty, but this puppy’s got claws. Likes to scratch.

Wow, ummm, okay, yeah it’s no big deal. I’m sure they’ll just remove it and it’s over and done with. I would like to keep it though, we’ve become quite attached and he’s been growing on me. (yeah, pretty witty, huh?

Eco News Car-Killed Deer Assessments Shed Light on Deer Nutritional Condition from WI DNR, reprinted with permission

MADISON - Following a recordbreaking harsh winter, a statewide effort to assess the condition of carkilled deer is helping researchers understand winter’s impacts on Wisconsin’s deer herd. This information is in addition to radio telemetry monitoring of deer over the last four years has that has also provided insight into winter’s impacts on deer.

reserves were at their lowest point of the year. Local wildlife biologists inspected and gathered data from deer that were killed in vehicular collisions to evaluate pregnancy rate and fat stores at various points within the deer carcass, including the rump, Fat stores are a key indicator of around the heart and kidneys and in nutritional condition as deer rely on the bone marrow. these reserves, accumulated during summer and fall, to survive winter.

Regardless of where in the state deer in the study were collected, the evaluations revealed that nearly all adult does were pregnant.

“Pregnancy rates among adult does were greater than 90 percent across the state, even in the northern forest,” said Storm. “We wouldn’t expect the severe winter to impact this year’s pregnancy rates, because the deer became pregnant before winter began.”

However, Storm did indicate that pregnancy rates of the youngest deer will probably be impacted this coming fall.

While adult pregnancy rates did not differ between regions of the

state, pregnancy rates of juvenile deer approaching their first birthday and the average number of fawns being carried were found to be quite different from north to south and between major habitat types throughout the state.

“The rate of adults carrying twins exceeded 60 percent in both the central and southern farmland zones, while the rate of single fawns for these zones was approximately 9 percent,” said Storm. “In contrast, fewer does in the northern forest zone were pregnant with twins and many were carrying a single fawn.”

Juvenile does (under one year old) exhibited much lower pregnancy rates than adult does. Less than 10 percent of juveniles in the northern forest and nearly 20 percent in the central farmland zone were pregnant. Differences in litter size between the farmland and forest zones likely reflected differences in habitat productivity and the late spring experienced in 2013 in the Northern Forest Zone. A late spring limits the food supply available to deer, which in turn limits the amount of resources deer can use to create offspring.

Josie is a friendly girl who would love a warm lap and a gentle pet any day of the week. She shows promise with small and respectful dogs, and gets along well with other cats.

Pets Available for Adoption at Area Rescues and Shelters Scooter is a 22 year old diva who adores to be doted over! She has had a very leisurely type of life... has never been saddle trained... to our knowledge... however she is so far very accepting of a saddle and is well started. She was a pasture ornament... (a very beautiful one at that!) her whole life with the same owner. The owners moved cross country and could not take her with them. She is sound, healthy and moves like a horse half her age!! She stands about 14.1 hh and is a very lovely and elegant Polish Arab. Scooter spent all her years with a gelding who recently passed... so she is very used to and desires to be with at least one other horse. Applications can be downloaded off our website www.rescuehorses.org. Please email any questions to rescue.horses@yahoo.com.

Godiva is a sweet, beautiful, shiny black bunny. When Godiva arrived we noticed her eye looked quite strange. Our vet said it is a side effect of a bunny disease that she got from her mom. She is not actively sick but it may affect her immune system later down the line. Also she needs to live alone due to the possibility of spreading it to another bunny. Godiva does need eye drops everyday but she is a very easy patient. Godiva loves her free range play-times and is doing incredibly well with her litter box. Godiva’s foster home is socializing her with kids and other animals and she is doing great with everyone! Please contact K&R Small Animal Sanctuary @ kr_small_animal_sanctuary@yahoo.com

• Humans touching young mammals does not mean Mom will reject them. We are not putting human scent on them, we are rubbing Mom’s scent off, which is how she identifies them! If you are replacing a young mammal back into the nest, wear gloves and gently rub the others of the nest together with the youngster you are replacing — this will spread Mom’s scent around all the young.

• If you have found a young bird of prey, work with your licensed wildlife rehabilitator, local WDNR conservation warden, or animal control officer to return

• If you do need to find help for young animals with a licensed wildlife rehabber, always make a note of where you found the nest in case the injuries are not so severe that you and the rehabber can reunite the youngster with Mom!

Practical PetVet Blog Squirrel!

A Wildlife Rescue Case

from petvet1.blogspot.com, reprinted with permission printed September, 2012 A little while back, my clinic got a call from a concerned citizen regarding a grey squirrel. This little squirrel kept following the female caller into her house! Every time the woman returned the young squirrel outside, he’d scurry right back into the house after her. Was he sick?

Was he hungry? Or worse, did he think she was his mother?!

The beleaguered squirrel lady offered the little guy some food and drink based on her internet research of what would acceptable for a squirrel. (Although motivated by good intentions, this was a risky move which could have caused more harm than good for the young hungry animal. Please see below.)

The trick is finding the right resource. A good place to start is your state department of natural resources website.

Cats International Sleeps & Naps: Feline Style

from catsinternational.org reprinted with permission Cats are the world’s best sleepers.

They slumber away about 60% of their lives–16 hours out of 24. At this rate a nine-year old cat has been awake for only about three years! Since cats are so efficient at obtaining their protein-rich food, they have plenty of time to rest up for the next hunting trip (or visit to the kitchen). A typical feline day includes over fifteen hours of sleeping, and dozing, four to six hours of grooming and playing, with hunting, eating and exploring making up the rest of the day.

When choosing a site for your cat’s bed, keep in mind the feline need for warmth and security (high and protected). It has been observed that the temperature of the room is a determining factor in the sleeping cat’s body position. At less than 55 degrees F., the cat is curled up with his head tucked into his body. As the temperature increases, the cat’s sleeping position opens up. At over 70 degrees F., the cat is uncurled with paws out in front. Upon waking, the supple cat usually takes a few minutes to stretch and restore his circulation.

There are three types of adult feline A yawn or two later, a quick face sleep: the brief nap, the longer light wash, and watch out!–he’s ready for sleep, and the deep sleep.

Unlike some of their larger relatives, ball pythons remain small with adults reaching an average of 3-4’ in length with an occasional larger specimen found. These snakes are harmless and generally docile. They are found naturally in western and central Africa and prefer a savannah/forest border type environment. They are secretive and nocturnal. They feed primarily on native rodents.

In captivity, ball pythons are easy to maintain when provided the correct environment. They can be kept in aquaria, rack systems, or home-made enclosures.

A temperature gradient from 80-90 degrees is sufficient. Enough space should be provided to allow the snake to move around and stretch out (even if around the perimeter of the enclosure). Ball pythons do not require large enclosures but will make use of space if it is provided.

Care should be taken to provide a dark and secure hiding space if kept in a larger enclosure. This gives the snake a retreat and reduces stress.
