These four pups have such different personalities. Hank (black one) is a sweetie who loves to give kisses. Olaf- the really light chubby one is such a laid back, lazy lil guy.

Tip and turn him...he will fall right alseep wherever he is.

Marvin, the first born loves to snuggle and then Elsa, the only girl, is a wrestler. She likes to pounce on her brothers and play. She is also a little whimperer.

HOLISTIC & NATURAL VACCINATION PROTOCOLS AND MORE!

by Cheryl Larson, Pet Journal Columnist clarson@petjournalmidwest.com Spring is a time when animal companions are often faced with several decisions that greatly affect your pet’s health. The choices may not seem risky and certainly not dangerous however, the decision to use some of the common veterinary protocols may not be appropriate for your individual animal. Should you vaccinate?

Which vaccine to choose? What about flea and tick protection? What to use to de-worm? And, are heartworm preventatives safe are all important questions to ask.

does not respond to the vaccine or a sick dog with a titer already present.

Health concerns linked to vaccines include, autoimmune hemolytic anemia (especially in spaniels), injection site tumors (especially in cats), destructive behavior problems similar to autism, allergies, bloody diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, seizures, arthritis, and other chronic immune and auto-immune issues.

Dr. Karen Becker at healthypets. mercola.com has several very good articles about repeated vaccinations and their affect on the immune system. I highly recommend starting The big question is, should you your research on the topic there. vaccinate and with which vaccine, aahanet.org recommendations are is a complicated topic with a wide 3-5 years for protective immunity. range of opinions.

then to assist in detoxification after the vaccine is given. Each vaccine has a specific corresponding remedy. This worked very well for my dog that became ornery after the rabies vaccine. We now ask for a waiver and he no longer is vaccinated for rabies, but has a titer response to it. Please know that you can receive a waiver if your pet has had an adverse reaction in the past. My personal experience has been to vaccinate puppies after immunity from the mother has worn off and then run a titer test annually.

We then can determine if there is a need to administer a booster. The lesson however, is to look at each pet’s individual health and age, the real risk of exposure, and ask a lot of questions so that you feel comfortable with your decisions.

Spring is also a time when we start to worry about parasites, especially fleas and ticks. Topical flea and tick prevention is associated with many reactions from lethargy to seizures. A quick internet search will reveal some of the risks the FDA is investigating. Many safe herbal options are available, sprays can be purchased or made at home with essential oils, herbal flea collars and yeast and garlic sprinkled on the food are all very effective and safe.

Homeopathic worm parasite cleanses are very safe for cats and dogs and are easy to give. Liquid drops have no flavor, and are much safer then harsh chemicals. I do this in the spring and fall for a week to eliminate anything picked up from

puddles, rabbits etc.

Heartworm treatment is quite harsh and even scarce, so it is helpful to know that homeopathics are available for heartworm and that some herbal parasite cleanses are also effective. I have been using 1/5 the recommended dose of heartworm preventative for several years with great results. Studies have shown this to be effective and my dogs receive much lower doses of medication, ultimately this is easier on their immune system.

Knowledge is the best way to feel you are making the best possible choice for your pets. Each individual will have different needs and reactions. Age, diet, existing health issues, and necessary medications should all be factored in to the decision*. You know your pet better than anyone, so you are the best possible advocate they can have! * We highly recommend all pets take milk thistle supplements for one week following vaccines, medications or parasite treatments.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

by Seth Minaker, Pet Journal Columist sminaker@petjournalmidwest.com Hello Pet Journal readers! I hope you all had a nice April, I certainly did! It has been nice to just head outside without having to worry about a hat, gloves, or a coat. The dogs, especially the long haired ones (I take care of two often) are adjusting to the warmer weather... some better than others. Hopefully the weather will stay this way, I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Anyway, enough rambling, onto this month’s products:

research - it works! Its ergonomic design is comfortable, lightweight, and allows full range of motion.

Small ($28.95), Medium ($29.95), and Large ($30.95)

Drinkwell Hydrate (Upper Left): Another great product from PetSafe!

Hydrate is an easy way to keep your pet’s water fresh, filtered, and flowing. Just submerse the pump in your pet’s bowl and the suction cups keep it in place. Water circulates through Hydrates activated carbon filter, filtering out debris and contaminants while exiting in a gentle stream, encouraging your pet to drink. Quiet, low power consumption, dishwasher safe, and available in 3 colors for $14.95

Pebble Smart Doggie Doorbell (Lower Left): As owners know, dogs like to go out - a lot. But their ways of telling you can be aggravating to say the least.

Whining, barking, scratching, and jumping is annoying and can be damaging to your home. Furthermore, some dogs just don’t tell you they want out and end up stuck inside or having an accident. Doggie Doorbell is just that: a doorbell for your dog!

Doggie Doorbell comes with a large button (for your dog to push) and a wireless bell with a 250 foot range, no wires or tools required. Detailed training instructions make training easy and fun (I trained my dog as a puppy to ring a doorbell in only a few hours). Extra buttons are available if needed. 36 selectable tunes and 2 colors for $29.99

Dog Gamutt Safe Behind Bars (Upper Right): Dogs are escape artists.

Lots of owners have problems with their dogs squeezing through fences, gates, or cracks in barriers. Safe Behind Bars keeps dogs from escaping by a simple harness. How? The harness has a “rod” sewn in sideways, preventing dogs from getting through. It may sound goofy but after doing some

Orapup (Lower Right): From the makers of human Orabrush! Bad breath is a problem with most dogs.

Normal methods to freshen their breath can be difficult or expensive.

Orapup is a large brush that cleans your dogs tongue, the main source of bad breath. Simply apply Lickies, a tasty specially formulated gel (or anything of your choosing) and let your dog start licking. 1470 soft

“A Fitting Tribute to a Faithful Friend”

bristles reach deep into your dogs tongue and loosen odor causing bacteria, while the 4 in line scrapers collect and remove it. Your dog will happily lick away his bad breath!

For a limited time, when you order online, receive two free human Orabrushes with your order (a $14 value). Comes with 1 Orapup and 1 Lickies for $20.00 As always, thanks for reading.

Until next month!

ASK THE VET DIABETES

by Dr. Kim Everson, Pet Journal Columnist ask-the-vet@petjournalmidwest.com Q: My cat has been drinking a ton of water lately. My friend says she probably has diabetes and will need to be put to sleep. I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old, but I really hate to do that because she seems pretty happy.

What do you think?

A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to hear your kitty still is acting happy. Cats hide illness very well and might only give subtle hints that there is something wrong.

Hiding, not eating well, vomiting, going to the bathroom outside the litter box or having an increased thirst can signal various illnesses.

Any behavior changes like this should be considered an alert that your cat needs a veterinary checkup right away.

One of the most noticeable symptoms of diabetes mellitus in pets is increased drinking with associated increased urination.

Examination, bloodwork and urine tests are all required to definitively diagnose diabetes in dogs and cats.

The good news is that many pets can live comfortably with management of their diabetes through diet changes and insulin injections, so a diagnosis of diabetes does not have to be a death sentence!

Before we talk a little more about diabetes in pets, I should point out that a noticeable increase in thirst is not just a sign of diabetes.

Increased thirst is also seen with kidney and liver diseases, elevated thyroid levels, life-threatening uterine infections in unspayed pets, certain electrolyte imbalances, and a host of other conditions. A thorough history, comprehensive physical examination, various laboratory tests and imaging studies (like x-rays or ultrasound) may be needed to fully understand a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increased thirst.

10 Pet Journal May 2014

Diabetes mellitus in pets and people is a complex metabolic disorder involving the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to utilize sugar (glucose) for energy. If the pancreas cannot produce insulin or the body tissues cannot respond to insulin in order to convert blood sugar into energy, the result is elevated blood glucose levels and (over time) weight loss because the body cannot obtain nutrition from meals eaten. Sustained increased blood sugar has a negative effect on the organs and can lead to cataracts, bladder infections, liver damage, neuromuscular problems and serious electrolyte changes among other problems. In really severe cases, life threatening diabetic ketoacidosis can occur with symptoms including vomiting and diarrhea, dehydration, stupor or coma.

Early diagnosed and properly managed, diabetic dogs and cats can enjoy a prolonged quality of life. The majority of diabetic dogs have Type I or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus meaning their pancreas cannot produce adequate insulin to get blood glucose into the tissues. Diabetic dogs therefore require daily insulin injections for the rest of their lives. Many cats also develop Type I diabetes and require insulin. A large number of cats, however, develop Type II or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus secondary to obesity and can be managed or even cured with strict dietary management.

Pet owners are usually quite surprised by their ability to give insulin injections at home. The needles are tiny and most pets tolerate the treatment very well.

Some pets even seem to understand that the momentary discomfort will help them feel better! Insulin

therapy is often started in the veterinary hospital during a 12 to 24 hour â&#x20AC;&#x153;glucose curveâ&#x20AC;? to ensure that the pet does not develop hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, from too high an insulin dose.

Hypoglycemia is dangerous and can cause weakness, stumbling, seizures and coma.

Editors Note: Our Vet columnist, Dr. Everson welcomes your general questions on general pet health topics, please email her using the email address above or via our mailbox: Pet Journal attn: Ask the Vet 3120 S Business Dr #270 Sheboygan WI 53081-6524

Management of diabetes in veterinary patients is constantly evolving! Nowadays pet owners may even be trained to perform glucose curves at home where the pet is most comfortable. Regardless of whether the pet will be tested in the clinic or at home, good communication is essential between the pet owner and veterinarian.

Early management of diabetic pets is sometimes challenging and requires patience and discipline, but the results can be very satisfying for all involved.

WILDLIFE AWARENESS STICK YOUR NECK OUT FOR WISCONSIN’S TURTLES from WI DNR, reprinted with permission With Wisconsin’s 11 turtle species soon starting their journey to higher ground to lay their eggs, state turtle conservation officials are calling on motorists to slow down by wetlands and report all turtle road crossing hot spots to aid conservation measures for the turtles.

“One of the greatest threats to turtles in Wisconsin is road mortality -- too many turtles are killed when they cross roadways to reach upland sites where they lay their eggs,” says Andrew Badje, a conservation biologist with the Department of Natural Resources.

“Luckily, it’s a threat we can correct and proactively fix.

accessed through the web pages of the Wisconsin Turtle Conservation Program, a citizen-based monitoring initiative managed by the Department of Natural Resources.

DNR launched the initiative last year to help conserve turtles. “Turtles all over, including in Wisconsin, are fighting an uphill battle against many threats,” Badje says. “In addition to traffic mortality, habitat loss, fragmentation, and alteration are big threats, as well as newly emerging infectious diseases such as ranavirus, which has decimated populations in the Northeastern United States,” he says.

Other dangers to turtles include water pollution, overharvesting of wild populations for food and the pet trade, and egg predation by increasing populations of raccoons, coyotes, opossums, and skunks.

Collectively, such threats to turtles mean that many fewer females are Citizens can report the hazardous living to adulthood and contributing crossings by filling out an online to population growth, Badje says. reporting form or by printing and Read more about the initiative in mailing in a form. Both can be “We’re asking for citizens’ help in identifying hazardous turtle crossing so we can team up with road maintenance agencies to make these roads safer for turtles, people, and other wildlife.”

ASK SCRAPPY!

by Scrappy, Pet Journal Columnist and Mascot askcrappy@petjournalmidwest.com Howdy doodle, everyone! I hope everyone had a great Easter and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Even with the questionable weather.

I must apologize about last month’s weather prediction for Easter. We had a few sunny days and a few patches of green and I lost my mind.

Though I put the blame squarely on the vile demonic rodent Punxsutawney Phil and his extended winter forecast. Why must he be so evil!?!

Hey, he had his six extra weeks of winter. I’m sure as the snow came down on the rest of us, he sat in his palatial home atop Gobbler’s Knob (what kind of name is that?

Come on!) and chittered happily at our misfortune. Easter Bunnies everywhere having to dig out their Bunnymobiles® to deliver Easter joy to everyone. He better watch his back next year for any sniper bunnies in the audience. He has been warned.

Spring being finally here, I hope everyone is preparing for more time outside. This means getting your four legged buddies all set with their lotions, potions, elixirs, and inoculations to combat all the creepy, flying monsters that plague us during

a typical Midwest summer. I know it kind of a pain in the tail, but you’ve got the easy part. All you have to do is kidnap us and drag us off to the doctor. You get to sit in the waiting room and catch up on all of the publications that seem to only exist in a doctor’s waiting room. All the while we’re being poked, prodded, injected, and probed. When it’s time to go we have to put on a happy face like we just loved it. This happens to you and it’s an alien abduction and you require years of therapy to get over it. Superior human beings, I say meh! I really can’t complain, it’s well worth the torture to be able to play outside worry free.

Plus the best part, summer means ROAD TRIPS!! I can get out and meet new and interesting animals, have barking contests, staring down scary dogs in other cars, watching humans pass by and wonder if I’m one of those crazy killer pit bulls and debating screaming and calling the police, and the list goes on. Misty wanted me to mention that there are many options available for kitties to enjoy all the summertime fun. All manner of comfortably posh carriers that allow kitty to view the world from a safe distance, harnesses for

kitties that like to get into the thick Opps, that wasn’t supposed to of things (Misty wears a harness at come out. I need to learn to keep all times because she has, ahem, my yap shut. emotional issues), and much more.

Take Care Everyone I know I sound hard on kitties, but I See Ya’ Next Month was raised by a house full of kitties and developed wicked step motherScrappy kitty syndrome. It’s not my fault.

Well, that about wraps up this column for May. I hope everyone is looking forward to summer as much as I am. Hey, when you doing something special or fun, take some pictures and send a copy to me. I’d love to see what everyone one else is up to. I’ll be sure to post anything Misty and I get into. That is, unless it’s something that could be used as evidence in animal court. Those will disappear into a deep hole in the yard. Bwahahaha!

ANIMAL LAW

by Devin Roger, Wisconsin State Law Library Finding Animal Laws Online Does my state have a leash law?

How do I report animal cruelty?

The answers to your animal law questions may only be a click away.

Over the years, the Wisconsin State Law Library has fielded many reference questions on animal law.

From our research, we have created a page on our website exclusively about animal law with links to numerous online resources selected and reviewed by our library staff.

Located in downtown Madison, the Wisconsin State Law Library, maintained by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, is open to the public weekdays from 8 am - 5 pm.

While our physical location holds a wealth of information, our website, wilawlibrary.gov, has become a formidable resource in itself; being essentially a 24/7 one-stop shop for myriad sources of law-related and general reference information.

Below is a brief overview of the resources available on our Animal Law legal topics page: wilawlibrary. gov/topics/animal.php.

Agencies / Organizations This section contains brief descriptions and links to websites for national and international groups focused on providing awareness and information on animal welfare and biomedical research.

Examples include the American Humane Association, Animal Welfare Information Center (U.S. Dept. of Agriculture National Agricultural Library), Human Society of the United States and World Animal Net. These websites provide a good starting point for finding general information, locating local chapters and keeping up on relevant legislation.

Online animal law resources The page continues with a list of information resources on the web specifically pertaining to animal law. The general format includes the resource name, link to the website and a brief description of the resource. One example is the

Animal Legal & Historical Web Center, created by Michigan State University -- Detroit College of Law. Self-described as, “the largest legal website devoted to animal issues in the world,” this website features news, cases, articles, and international materials related to all kinds of animal law. On the side navigation bar, researchers can peruse topical explanations, search primary legal materials by jurisdiction, subject, species or administrative topic and search secondary legal materials such as briefs, articles and historical materials. Other features include an FAQ section, maps, comparative table of laws, highlights of new topic areas, journal articles and a monthly “amazing but true animal laws” summary.

Directories This section contains a link to the “Find a Shelter” feature on the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ website.

Researchers can search by zip code to find shelters within a 5 - 25 mile radius. The second link is essentially an online “yellow pages” search which lists local humane societies in Wisconsin.

Pets For many of us, animals mean pets. In this section, we first provide links to legal articles about pets, pet breeders and pet dealers in general.

Since cats and dogs are the most popular domesticated pets, we link to additional resources specifically on each of these. For information on cat law, see the article entitled, “Domestic Cat & the Law” which includes links to federal legislation and regulations, including the Animal Welfare Act; landmark court cases; bibliographic information on recent publications; and links to organizations and groups on cat law. For information about dog law, we link to several articles on dog ownership, breeding and dealing in Wisconsin. Other resources include a helpful FAQ entitled, “Dog bites & Other Injuries” on Nolo. com, which provides information on a number of topics such as the “onebite” rule for dogs, dog owners liability insurance, and veterinary malpractice.

Hi, I’m Smokey!

I’m a super relaxed girl and love rolling over to get pet, but first I need a person who is willing to love me and pet me and take me home. I’ve never had a forever home that I can call my own, so I can’t wait to have a family. I also love open laps and a cozy napping spot. I love all people, even some cats and dogs, and I can’t wait to meet the person who has room in their home, and their heart, for a gentle girl like me. Maybe that person is you? www.giveshelter.org

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.

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

AVIAN CORNER BLUE HERON NEST-CAM UP AND RUNNING from WI DNR, reprinted with permission Department of Natural Resources wildlife management staff at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center have set up a nestcam overlooking the property’s great blue heron rookery (ustream. tv/search?q=horicon) and front and center is an active heron nest with at least two eggs.

Spring in Wisconsin means that native wildlife are starting to hatch and give birth to their offspring in a seasonal pattern as old as their species.

Wildlife naturally seek protected and isolated places where they will be undisturbed and their young will be safe from predators making observation of this annual event difficult.

“The heron rookery on Horicon reached its pinnacle in the 1970s with an estimated 4,000 birds using the site,” continued Owsley.

“Over time, a combination of bad weather and Dutch elm disease caused the trees that supported the rookery to decline which resulted in a decrease in the number of tall sturdy trees the birds use for roosts.

Wildlife management staff placed artificial nests, near the original location during the winter of 199293 consisting of telephone poles and angled slats of wood to bring the colonial nesting birds back.

We repaired and added additional structures and took the opportunity to add the nest-cam this year.”

“This nest camera gives a sneak peak at one of Wisconsin’s common wildlife species whose nesting behavior isn’t easily observed,” said Bret Owsley, DNR’s Horicon area wildlife supervisor. “Also, this nest cam is a great educational tool for people who are interested in learning more about the trials and tribulations that a heron experiences while incubating eggs.

Initial problems with providing sufficient bandwidth for a stable high quality video picture have been resolved and wildlife officials invite anyone interested in watching the show to link in.

• Do not jeopardize your safety or that of any others while you are out of your car and helping turtles crossing roads.

• Escort turtles to the side of the road that they were headed, to minimize the number of times a turtle will cross that particular road stretch.

• Snapping and spiny softshell turtles are quite defensive and will bite. When dealing with these turtles, have them bite down on a stick or long object.

Then carefully escort/glide them off the road.

• Avoid picking any turtle up by their tail as this can severely damage their spine.

“Turtles are widely beloved by people all over the world and they are a critical link in the food chain,” Badje says. “In some cases they are keystone species, where all other species in the ecosystem rely on them for some form of survival.

ECO NEWS DEADLY BAT DISEASE DETECTED IN SINGLE WISCONSIN SITE; STATE JOINS 23 OTHER IN CONFIRMING WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME from WI DNR, reprinted with permission White-nose syndrome, a bat disease that has spread to 23 states and killed up to 5 million bats since 2006, has been confirmed in Wisconsin, state natural resources officials announced April 10, 2014.

Results from visual inspection and genetic and tissue tests completed earlier this month showed that 2 percent of bats in a single mine in southwestern Wisconsin had the disease, named for the characteristic white fuzz on their nose, wings and tails, according to Erin Crain, who leads the Department of Natural Resources Natural Heritage Conservation Program.

“The discovery is not a surprise but it’s a sad day for Wisconsin. We face the loss of multiple bat species and the benefits they provide to our ecosystems and our people,” Crain says.

hibernation sites and historical estimates have put the population at 350,000 to 500,000 bats. Bats play an important role by eating insects that can damage forests and transfer diseases like West Nile Bat crews collected two of the bats Virus. for genetic and other laboratory testing; the results came back in At this time, the discovery in the early April and were positive.

Grant County mine appears to be an isolated occurrence.

DNR’s The same mine had been visual surveys of 85 other mine and examined as recently as December cave sites this winter did not find any 2013 as part of a study and had no other signs of white-nose syndrome, visual signs of white-nose syndrome however, DNR is awaiting results at that time, Crain says. All four from genetic tests underway from species of bats that hibernate in samples collected at 19 of those Wisconsin cave and mines have other sites as part of the routine been documented in this particular sampling. mine during surveys in recent years.

Grant County positive an isolated occurrence White-nose syndrome is a disease of bats infected with the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans.

It does not affect people or other animal species but causes hibernating bats to frequently wake from a hibernating state. Stirring repetitively depletes the bats’ energy stores and can cause them to starve or become dehydrated before spring arrives. Up to 95 percent of bats in infected caves and mines in other states have died.

Next steps in efforts to save bats Cave and mine owners have been notified of the positive site in Grant County.

DNR bat crews had been wrapping up winter surveillance efforts for 2014 when they discovered 11 individual bats with the classic signs of white-nose syndrome in the Grant County mine. The mine is within flying distance for bats from a site in Illinois where white-nose syndrome Wisconsin is home to several of had been confirmed in 2012. the upper Midwest’s largest bat

Most state caves that serve as bat hibernacula have already been seasonally closed to the public for several years as part of the measures DNR has taken to give hibernating bats the best possible chance. Several have been closed to all access to delay introduction of the disease to Wisconsin and to slow its spread. Voluntary prevention

“We knew this day would come because white-nose syndrome spreads rapidly bat to bat and bat to cave. With great cooperation from mine and cave owners, we took aggressive steps to prevent human spread of the disease to Wisconsin, and we think those steps helped delay its arrival by several years, allowing more time for research and to learn from other states’ experiences. But we knew there would be no dodging the bullet.

We now face the sad potential of bat die offs that will be felt at home and across the country.”

DNR will be meeting with its external white-nose syndrome science and stakeholder teams to discuss the finding and how best to proceed based on data collected this winter. The teams are advisory and will forward management recommendations to DNR for consideration, Crain says.

plan agreements are in place with private and public owners of caves and mines open to human access, including all commercial caves and mines. Recreational cavers also have followed decontamination procedures that prevent transmission of disease between sites.

indoor cats are relocated to indoor homes.

Truly feral felines are sterilized and relocated to outdoor homes in rural areas with caregivers who provide food, water, and shelter 24/7.” “Our program has been extremely effective in reducing and preventing the needless suffering and death of abandoned felines”, says Beer.

“With the generous grant from DDAF we will continue to sterilize felines, but also provide medical care for rescued cats suffering from exposure, road injuries, malnutrition, respiratory issues and skin diseases.

REPTILE CORNER PACKMAN FROG

by Dr. Michael Wenninger, Pet Journal Contributor Pacman frogs (also known as ornate horned frogs) are native to Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.

They inhabit tropical rainforest habitats and live among leaf litter. They reach adult sizes of approximately 6 inches.

They eat any living things smaller than themselves and are voracious ambush predators.

Pacman frog care is relatively simple. A 10 gallon aquarium is the minimum suggested size for an adult frog. A temperature gradient from 75-85 degrees is suitable.

Substrate comprised of “Eco-earth” or sphagnum moss is ideal. The environment must be kept moist but not wet to achieve a humidity of 80%. Diet can consist primarily of insects such as crickets, roaches, and earthworms offered several times weekly. Small mice and fish can be used periodically but should not be the primary diet. Commercial diets are available and can be used as an adjunct to insects. Insects should be “gut-loaded” for 72 hours prior to feeding. Calcium supplements are beneficial and should be used several times weekly with feeding.

Vitamin supplementation weekly with

a multivitamin containing vitamin A is also beneficial but care must be taken to avoid over supplementation of fat soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, K). The necessity of full spectrum lighting is controversial.

It is unlikely to be harmful and may help with calcium metabolism and is therefore recommended.

Noninfectious problems commonly encountered in captive pacman frogs include foreign body ingestion, toxin ingestion or absorption, dehydration, renal disease, hypovitaminosis A, nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism (nutritional metabolic bone disease), and trauma. Bacterial infections such as dermatosepticemia (“red-leg” usually associated with Aeromonas or Pseudomonas bacteria) are commonly secondary to inadequate husbandry.

Several infectious diseases including chytridiomycosis and ranavirus infection are becoming more common as well.

PRACTICAL PETVET BLOG CHEYETIELLOSIS: NIGHT OF THE WALKING DANDRUFF from petvet1.blogspot.com, reprinted with permission printed April, 2014 Sorry to mislead you into thinking this blog was going to be about the ever popular zombie creature.

It’s actually about a different kind of monster, a microscopic mite commonly referred to as “walking dandruff” that likes to prey on bunnies. What better time to talk about mite monsters than Easter?

What if the cute little twitch in Peter Cottontail’s nose is because of an itch?

Meet “Lucky,” a young rabbit presented to our veterinary clinic during the winter of 2014 because of a recently noticed skin condition.

Lucky was missing large clumps of hair between his shoulder blades, and the area was covered in huge flakes of white dandruff. His physical examination was rather unremarkable besides his obvious skin disease. He did not even act that itchy, but his skin was quite red everywhere and the hair fell out easily anywhere you parted it.

keratin level; they less commonly invade the nasal passages. The mites are fairly large as mites go, and their scurrying among the excess amounts of dead skin produced in response to irritation resulted in the nickname “walking dandruff.”

Animals acquire Cheyletiellosis by direct contact with an afflicted animal in most cases. However, the mites and their eggs can also survive for a short period (days to weeks) within bedding and the environment, so transmission may occur via indirect contact as well. Some animals carry around Cheyletiella mites but don’t show symptoms at all!

Definitive diagnosis of Cheyletiellosis in Lucky was swift and satisfying. I collected some dandruff from his back on the sticky side of transparent tape and applied the entire thing to a glass slide. At relatively low magnification under The other rabbit in the home, kept the microscope, I saw numerous separately, showed no symptoms of mites and mite eggs amid hair shafts skin disease.

This is a good way to diagnose Cheyletiellosis in cats.

I suspected the “walking dandruff” Because they are such fastidious mite even though no movement was self-groomers, infected cats often seen in the flakes of dead skin. ingest the excess dandruff as well The official name for this parasitic as the mites making diagnosis from insect is Cheyletiella and there are physical examination alone more numerous species which can plague difficult. various mammals from rabbits to dogs to cats.

mites.

Because rabbits are weirdly sensitive to certain topical insecticides -- for instance, over-thecounter products containing fipronil, well-tolerated in dogs and cats for the treatment and prevention of fleas, are devastatingly toxic to rabbits -- we selected topical prescription-only selamectin which has been used safely and effectively in rabbits for mites of various kinds.

In addition to thoroughly cleaning the hutches and surrounding environment as well as replacing the bedding and feed hay, we decided to treat the asymptomatic rabbit as well. Both bunnies will receive a small amount of medicine on the skin between the shoulder blades once a month for several months in a row.

Any mite bites on the humans in the household are expected to resolve once the bunnies have completed treatment.

CATS INTERNATIONAL from catsinternational.org reprinted with permission What could be more fun for a little tiger than to have the jungle brought into his home! From Kitty’s point of view a potted plant is a snack, an entertainment center, and sometimes a latrine, all-in-one. What could be more perfect! (Unfortunately owners seldom see plants that way). Wise cat owners will check the poisonous plant list before bringing greens into the home. Rubbing moistened black pepper onto the leaves and placing stones on top of the dirt will dissuade

Bats from page 19

Kitty from tasting or digging in the plant. Let’s be fair... why not plant a pot of healthy greens just for Kitty?

How citizens can help, including reporting sick or dead bats Wisconsin citizens can help bats by continuing to avoid disturbing bats, especially during hibernation; by following all decontamination requirements for those who enter caves or mines, and by continuing to volunteer to monitor bat populations in Wisconsin through a variety of different opportunities. Wisconsin’s four bat cave species are listed as threatened, a status which makes it illegal to kill them or take action that would result in their death. Learn more about bats and volunteering opportunities on DNR’s Bat Program website, found at wiatri.net/ inventory/bats.

The area’s finest full-service grooming, or “wash your own” in our self-service areas!

People who see sick or dead bats are encouraged to report them to DNR. DNR’s Bat Program website, wiatri.net/inventory/bats has a link to the reporting form and instructions for how to safely collect carcasses of dead bats. People should not touch or handle bats without appropriate protective clothing.

“Now more than ever we need Wisconsinites’ help to keep our bats as healthy as they can heading into next year’s hibernation period and the challenges they will face,” Crain says.

AVOID PROBLEMS WITH BLACK BEAR from WI DNR, reprinted with permission With the arrival of spring, black bears have begun to emerge from their dens in search of food. State wildlife officials are encouraging homeowners statewide to take precautions to reduce the potential for problems with hungry bear. “ More than 800 complaints about bear are called in each year,” says Brad Koele, Department of Natural Resources wildlife damage specialist.

Koele says many of these conflicts occur as a result of some type of attractant such as bird feeders, garbage cans, grills, or pet food left outside and accessible to bear.

Although conflicts can occur anytime bear are active it is especially important to remove attractants during the spring when bears are emerging from dens and natural foods are limited.

“Just because you see a bear does not mean it’s a causing conflict,” Koele adds. “Black bears normally avoid contact with people.

However, when food sources are available bears can quickly learn to associate humans with food and
