How Spay & Neuter Can Save Lives How Spay & Neuter Can Save Lives & Save

In 2021, there was an estimated 7169 animals killedinshelters acrossthe state of South Carolina. While this number is significantly lower due to a state-wide initiative to make SC the first No-Kill State in theSouth, itis still 7169toomany.
Unfortunately, the numberonereasonanimals are euthanized at shelters isduetoovercrowding.This means there are too many unwanted animals versus theamountofresourcesthe facility has to care for them.
Tragically, many underfunded shelters have found extermination to be the only solution. But there isanothersolution;wecan
save ourfurryfriends through preventative measures. By spaying and neutering our animals, we can help finally put an end to cruel and unnecessary animal euthanasia.
When I was a child, my parents bought an Airedale Terrier as our family’s pet. Max was a great dog –to us. But, he was not great to anyone else. He bit two people, including one of my best friends, whose mother never let her play at my house again. Max was never neutered. At the time, my father did not believe in altering dogs. Later, after Max had passed, I heard my father say, in hindsight, he shouldhaveneuteredMax.
Myparentshavetwofemale dogs now, and both have been spayed. I recently askedhimwhatchangedhis mind about spaying and neutering animals. He told me he was not that educated on the subject. “Back in the 80s, there just was not the research or push as there is today to haveyourdogfixed.Hadwe neutered Max, maybe he would never have had that problemwithaggression,”my fatherconcluded.
Almost 40 years have now passed since we first got Max, and my dad made that decision to not neuter him. Luckily,inthoselast40 years, a lot of research has been done regarding spayingandneutering.

CATS
In theory, it is estimated that two cats and their offspringcanproduceupto 420,0000 kittens in seven years. The reason is because cats are seasonally polyestrous, meaningQueens (unspayed females) will cycle in and out of heat until impregnated, having up to three litters per year. I reached out to Bruce Eilts, a Professor Emeritus in theriogenology at Louisiana State University to better understand this. “Cyclity in the queen is based upon daylight length. Queens normally cycle with long day lengths (12 hours). Remember however, that queens exposed to artificial light may have cyclesallyearround.”
heartbreaking to see how many people lose or have lost their cat due tosomething so easilypreventable as spayingandneutering.
The good news is that Banfield also concluded that spayed female cats live an average of 39% longer and neutered male cats live an averageof62%longerthantheirnonsterilizedcounterparts.
It is recommended that cats should be altered before they are 5 months old, as they can become pregnantasyoungas4monthsofage.
Cayce resident Sandy Lento, who formerly served as a feline adoption center/ shelter manager in Falmouth, Massachusetts says, female cats will continue their heat cycles throughout their years “untiltheyare spayed.”There is no menopause for cats (or dogs). She also notes thatintact male cats will roam for miles to find a mate, sometimes getting multiple partnersinonenight.
In the Banfield Pet Hospital State of Pet Health Report 2013, it was found that non-neutered cats are four times as likely to be hit by a car than neutered cats. Unfortunately, no matter how great a cat’s life is at home, an unfixed cat’s desire to mateismuchgreater.Itis

Escape Escape
Your life story is like an epic movie, with all the joys and challenges that come with the experience of being human. At times you may feel lost inside a gloomy movie with no way out. You run scripts in your mind about what she said, what he did, and how it didn’t match your idea of how things should be. The happiest people learn to step outside of the pages of their own story, close the book and set it aside. They learn to pause the non-stop conversation inside of their mind, and with clarity they see the world with new eyes.
Dream Dream Dream Dream
Achievers are dreamers who believe in possibility. They think big and hold tight to the belief that what they want is already on the way. When you have the freedom to think anything you want, why not think big? Dare to imagine vivid details as if your future was already here, and feel the glorious feelings of your dream come true. Think outside the bounds of what your rational mind believes is possible. Some people may say that you are out of your mind, but that can be a good thing! Don’t just follow your dreams, run towards them.
Laugh Laugh
Someone does something wildly funny and you laugh until tears run down your face. When you finally catch your breath you feel giddy and refreshed. With a smile you look around and realize that things are better than you thought, and your day ends up being great. Surround yourself with people who keep things light and fun because laughter is truly the best medicine.

Ah! Spring is here! The birds are singing, those crazy furry squirrels are running around teasing me knowing I can’t catch them, and the whole outside world is popping to life!
As you remember, I almost wasn’t here to see last spring! Yeah no kidding…! NO KIDDING AT ALL!! I got crushed under a 100ft+ pine tree that came crashingdownon me inthe ice storm on 1-16-22! Jennifer had put me outsideinmy pento potty and she ran in to potty herself. The tree fell and a long story began last year. But, I’m finally recovered and back to being my smart cutesy self. I’m running, playing and charming people—that’s what I dobest—charm people.
Jennifer and I have enjoyed the fall and winter as we usually do. I have been traveling some… yes I have… I looove to get in the car and travel in my crate. Been to the beach this fall several times! I LOoove the beach! I love to raise my little nose in the air with my fringy ears blowin in thewind and takea deep breath of the salty air!! It makes me want to take off running on the beach chasing birds. That’s my dream, but I’m on my 30ft line… Just being with Jennifer on the beach watchin’ a sunset is glorious! Sharing the moment… what more could a dogwant thantobewiththeirperson.
I rodewithTaude(Claude, Jennifer’s brother) on the first trip down as I mentioned in the Winter article. Taude is my hero… he got that stupid tree off me saving my life but… listening to cool Jimmy Buffett music is one thing and listening to Taude sing for 3hrs is another… I started to join with “howlin’in” but it was just too much…sorry Taude… I Luv ya though. Afterwards, I started traveling with Grandmama and Jennifer in the big car ‘cos Taude couldn’t always go on the same day. What a thrill torideinthe BIG car!
I rode in my crate on the back seat and listened to the girls talk. It was wonderful.Jennifertoldmebeach trip (I know the word “beach”) andIknewI was ona long trip. Whilethere, I played with our neighbors Jim and Terry. We actually had Thanksgiving at the beach with them. I ran on the beach on the long line and met loads of people. I did some tricks for them on the beach and just shared my love. Jennifer and I went to some doggie stores to look around. It’s fun to sniff ‘round in the toys and treats. We went to walk up town and I had fun greetin’ folks. I love to sit up on a bench with Jennifer and show off my pretty necklaces (collars) and my jewelry (tags)! Sometimes Jenniferand I wearthe samecolors she says! She makes me proud bein’ with her!! Just bein’ with her, smelling her, listening to her voice and laughter is heaven!!! At home, we often sit on the back porch with her rockin’ in the chair and me layin’ ‘round is heaven too. We have a huge fenced backyard with a wonderful screen back porch with ceiling fans… ah… the life… At night, I am in my play penwiththe family nearby when we go to sleepy time. Beach life is… Wonderful!!!
Wow, I hear Jim and Terry got a puppy for Christmas! Her name is Zoe Rae, an Irish Setter Doodle, whatever that is. Guess I’ll have a neighbor to romp with! Hope she’s not too big and rough. I’m getting on in age now you know. Horrors…
Taude mentioned he knows of a mountain cabin we might can rent. Hope I can tag along ‘cos I don’t like bein’ away from Jennifer, especially since my accident. I NEVER have in my 13 years, (except for medical reasons) spent time away from Jennifer. I don’t know what a mountain is but a trip sounds Great! I have some dog friends who have a place in the mountains. They say it is a nice place but it’s mainly all up hill. That might befun!
My health issues are stable thank goodness. I had a BIG Ultrasound done at Dr. Rosemary’s on 12-7-22 to check my adrenal cancer. A specialist doctor did the test. Thankfully Dr. Rosemary and Audrey, hertech, were there with me. I was scared… where Jennifer was… the test showed I have some issues going on so who knows what the future holds… My Cushing’s Disease and chronic UTI are under control with meds. I get stuck every so often to check my blood. I’m sorta gettin’ used to it now. I just glue my eyes on Jennifer and it’sover!
I romp ‘round every day in the big dog pen. Gettin’ my exercise and stayin’ fit. The specialist doctor and Dr. Rosemary say I’m in fantastic trim physical shape. Difficult to tell my age ‘cos I’m SO ACTIVE! Hey, exercise may be the key even for animals…
Thank you Dr. Rosemary for being the wonderful thoughtful veterinarian youare.
Thank You, Jenniferforadopting me!I am a very blessed littledogto havea special personlikeyou.
Thank you Taudefor gettingthat stupid treeoffme!I luvyou…
Thank you God for giving you God for these, and these, and these, these, and other, wonderful people in my life! other, wonderful people in my life! wonderful people in my life! wonderful people in my life!
Happy trails to ya…

Pet Food Myth Busters - Part Two
By Emily Hoppmann, DVM Elgin Veterinary Hospital, Elgin, SC
In the last issue, we examined the
quality of commercial pet food and what consumers should look for when feeding their pets a healthy diet. This article will cover information about corn (as a filler); raw food diets; grain-free and gluten-free diets; and wheat allergies.
Information about Corn
Is it a worthless filler or a nutritious ingredient?
People often hear that a plantbased ingredient such as corn is a "filler" that shouldn't be included in a pet's diet because it is poorly digested and can cause allergies. However, corn is actually an excellent source of many nutrients and is not even close to the top of the list of ingredients that dogs and cats are most allergic to. "Fillers" may be defined as feed ingredients with little or no nutritional value. Based on this description corn is certainly not a filler.
Corn provides a good source of carbohydrates, protein, and essential fatty acids in the diet of dogs and cats. Corn can be found in many forms, all of which can contribute to nutritious diets. For example, corn gluten meal contains 60 to 70% protein and is an excellent source of essential amino acids. Whole corn or corn meal provides highly digestible carbohydrates as an energy source.
Corn is a good source of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid required by both dogs and cats. It also contains abundant amounts of antioxidants, such as vitamin E and beta-carotene. Corn gluten meal is easy to digest, making its nutrients readily available to your pet. Corn gluten meal contains many essential amino acids, so when it is properly combined with other protein sources, it can contribute to highly digestible and nutritious diets.
Corn is not a common cause of allergies. Dogs and cats can develop allergies to any protein, including meats and grains. However, allergies to food are very uncommon and it is estimated that only 10% of allergic skin conditions in dogs and cats are caused by food. Many food companies are pushing new ingredients as a way to avoid food allergies, but food allergies are just not very common and the truth is that is a pet has a food allergy to one thing, it will develop a food allergy to anything it is fed over a long period of time. Corn does not appear on the list of most common food allergies in dogs or cats.
The most common food allergies in dogs are beef, dairy products, and
Dr. Emily Hoppmann completed her undergraduate studies at the University of South Carolina and graduated from the University of Georgia School of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. She works with pre-veterinaryandpharmacystudents to further their educations. She has many informativearticlesforpetowners.

wheat, followed by lamb, egg, chicken, and soy. In cats, the most common food allergies are beef, dairy products, and fish. Remember that it is the overall quality of the pet food that makes it a good choice for your pet.
Raw Food Diets- are they the best for your dogs and cats?
Many pet owners think feeding their dogs and cats food that mimics the raw diet of wild animals is the right thing to do. However, it is possible for these diets to be harmful to both pets and humans alike.

Raw meat and poultry may be contaminated with harmful microorganisms, such as salmonella. Feeding raw meat to pets can expose them to bacteria, parasites, and protozoa. Members of the household will also be exposed to the same bacteria, protozoa, and parasites when you feed a diet containing raw meat to a cat or a dog. These microorganisms pose greater risk to the young, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Bones as part of a raw diet can also be hazardous to pets' health. Raw (and cooked) bones can fracture teeth. Jagged and sharp points can tear the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Fragments of bone can also become lodged in the gastrointestinal tract.
Diets made mostly of meat and bones may be lacking in important nutrients. Calcium deficiency is a common problem with these diets, which can lead to impaired growth, spontaneous fractures, and loose teeth. Vitamin A toxicity can occur if large amounts of raw liver are fed.
A raw food diet may not be the best choice for your pet. This type of food can expose your pet and your family to harmful microorganisms, physically injure your pet, and lead to nutritional imbalances.
Should Pet Foods be Grain-free?
Many pet owners believe that grain-free pet foods are easier to digest and provide pets with better nutrition than pet foods containing grain. However, the carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients provided by grains add to both the nutritional value and structure of pet food.
Most cells in the body use carbohydrates as a primary source of energy. The nervous system (i.e., the brain and nerves) requires the carbohydrate glucose to support normal functions.
If carbohydrates, such as those from grains are not available, dietary protein is diverted away from its most important function, protein synthesis, in order to make glucose.
If carbohydrates are available, the dietary protein is instead used to build and maintain muscle and tissue. Reproducing females, growing puppies and kittens, and active dogs especially benefit from diets containing carbohydrates. Grains also provide fiber, which contributes to gastrointestinal health. Grains also contain essential fatty acids and other nutrients that contribute to a healthy skin and coat. Properly processed grains provide needed nutrients as part of a nutritionally complete and balanced diet.
Wheat Allergies
How common are they?
There is a widespread misperception that wheat commonly causes food allergies and pet foods containing it should be avoided. Food allergies are actually uncommon in dogs and cats. Food allergies constitute only a small percentage of allergy problems in pets. While the exact incidence is unknown, it is estimated that only
10% of allergic skin conditions are caused by food. Flea bites and environmental allergens, such as pollens, mold, and dust mites, are more common triggers of allergic symptoms than food.
An allergy is an abnormal reaction by the body's immune system to normal substances in the environment, including foods. Allergies can form to almost any food or ingredient, but the more animals are exposed to a food or ingredient, such as wheat, the more likely it is that allergies will develop. Proteins, especially beef and dairy products, are the most common food allergens in dogs and cats. Genetics is also a factor in the development of allergies. Certain individuals are predisposed to become allergic to something, but no single food is more likely to cause allergies than another. The only way to truly diagnose a food allergy is with an elimination diet trial, which your veterinarian can prescribe. Unless it has been proven to be the culprit through appropriate testing, arbitrarily avoiding a single ingredient, such as wheat won't prevent allergies from developing.

Spay/Neuter continued from page 7 a few times a year, they tend to have a bigger litter size than cats. Dogs, unlike cats who reabsorb their uterine lining, actually menstruate similar to humans and include all the unpleasant side effects such as painful cramping and nausea. Therefore, spaying your dog is the only route to go to keep your house clean; keep your dog out of pain; and keep yourself free of the burden of finding homes formultiplepuppies.
Another great reason to spay and neuter is to help prolong the pet's life. A recent University of Georgia study in the Departmentof Genetics, (dogshttps://journals.plos. org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/ journal.pone.0061082)
compared causes of death amongover40,000sterilized and reproductively intact domestic dogs. It concluded that thelifespanwasgreater in the sterilized dogs compared to those with their reproductiveorgans.
Banfield’s 2013 report concluded neutered male dogs live an average of 18% longer and spayed females dogs live 23% longer than their fertile counterparts. Sadly, intact males are twice as likely to be hit by a car thanthoseneutered.
Spaying and neutering dogs also helps to prevent or eliminate certain cancers and diseases of thereproductiveorgans.
It is recommended that female dogs should be spayed before they are 5 months old. In addition, small, medium and large breedmale dogsshould be neutered before they are 5 months old. Studies have also shown that giant breed male dogs who are house pets should be neutered after growth stops, between 12 to 15 months of age, due to orthopedicconcerns.
Help Spread the Word
Currently, Rhode Island is the only state to have mandatory spay and neuter laws in their General Laws. South Carolina state laws only demand spaying and neutering if the dog or cat is being acquired from the shelter,agency,society,or rescue organization.
Therefore, it is up to us to do our part in preventing more unwanted animals being dumped in shelters or given to people who will abuse or neglect them. If you find or privately adopt an animal that has not been spayed or neutered, itisupto youto doit.Even older cats and dogs who arehealthycanbespayed
or neutered (My friend had her 7-year-old dog successfully neutered). If your neighbors or friends bring home a new animal, it is up to you to encourage them.
Contact your veterinarian to discuss and/or schedule your pet’s appointment and encourage your family and friends to do the same. If money is the deterrent, there are many low-cost spay/neuter clinics across the state to help cut costs so it is affordable to everyone.
A great way to pass on this message to friends and strangers alike is to purchase the “No More Homeless Pets” license plate available through the SC Department of Motor Vehicles. A portion of the fees collected for the plate goesintoaspecialDepartment of Agriculture account to support annual spaying and neutering programs. I am anxiously awaiting my plate toarriveinthemail.

Wheat is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates for energy, as well as a source of protein. Including wheat in a pet food as an energy source preserves the animal proteins in the diet for maintaining a pet's muscle and tissue.
Are Gluten Free Diets Really Healthier for Your Pets?
Although only 1% to 2% of people have celiac disease and require a gluten-free diet, many
more people are jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon in hopes it will help them lose weight or feel better. Many of them assume that a gluten-free diet is what is best for their pets too. However, gluteninduced enterotherapy (celiac disease) is very rare in dogs and has been reported primarily in Irish Setters. Pets with celiac disease react to the proteins (gluten)in wheat, rye, and barley. The protein in corn gluten does not cause GI problems, even in individuals with celiac disease.
Gluten is the concentrated protein from grain after all the starch has
been removed. Corn gluten meal contains approximately 60% to 70% protein, and provides essential amino acids that form the building blocks for protein. Gluten is highly digestible. In addition, gluten provides structure to pet food. Just as wheat gluten is added to breads to enhance the texture, a small amount in pet food helps canned formulas, kibbles, and treats hold their shape. Gluten from various grains is a nutritious ingredient that provides a concentrated source of protein in pet foods.
