The Mountain That Grew Multi-awarded author Alfred A. Yuson adds to his hefty catalog of over 35 literary titles this charming yet thought-provoking story for children, lavishly illustrated by Ilana Antonio and Marcel Antonio The setting is the island of Manao. On the island rises Mt. Lariq. It is nearly bald; “nearly all its trees had been cut down” to make boats for islanders who wanted to leave “to seek better fortune elsewhere.” But then, Ka Liser, one of the islanders, notices that the mountain starts getting taller! New plants start to grow and cover the higher parts of Mt. Lariq. Word is sent to those who left, and they start coming back. Ka Liser leads them up and up, closer to the summit, where “lush valleys gave way to grass-carpeted meadows, where tiny brilliant flowers ringed crystal ponds that reflected the looming nearness of the sky.”

On September 16, “Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin” dropped on all digital streaming platforms worldwide.
As if the universe heard her request, Julie Anne got a call from Universal Records asking if she wanted to collaborate with Gary. Her initial reaction was disbelief.

“To ease your cat’s constipation, your vet may suggest that you give them more fiber, such as by adding canned pumpkin to their regular food. Or they might tell you to change to food that’s easier for your pet to digest. Hairball medications might also help,” Parker said.
With the aid of a hypodermic needle, it is injected beneath the skin. Even though the needle is a little bit bigger than those used for injection, it doesn't hurt any worse than a standard injection. A microchip can be installed during a standard veterinary office visit without surgery or anesthesia. The microchip can frequently be installed while your pet is already under anesthesia for a procedure, such as neutering or spaying, if they are already sedated for the operation. Currently, only identification numbers are stored on pet microchips. It cannot track your animal if it gets lost because the microchip is not a GPS gadget.

Regarding privacy, you don't need to worry. In the event that your pet is located and their microchip is scanned, the manufacturer's microchip registry will use the information you submit to get in touch with you. You often have the option to choose in or out of receiving additional messages from the manufacturer (such newsletters or adverts). When you register the chip or update your information, the only information about you that is stored in the database is the information you choose to give. There are safeguards in place to prevent a complete stranger from just looking up an owner's identify.
A microchip's frequency actually relates to the frequency of the radiowave that the scanner emits when it activates and reads the microchip. The 125 kiloHertz (kHz), 128 kHz, and 134.2 kHz microchip frequencies are a few examples of those utilized in the United States.

In “The Scoop on Cat Poop” reviewed by Amy Flowers, DVM, Hilary Parker stressed it is important to take note of the color, smell and hardness or softness of your cat’s poop. These will tell you if your cat is sick or not.
Editor’s Note: Microchipping is a con troversial issue in the Philippines. There are owners who do not want their pets microchipped due to reports of inflamma tion in the area where the chip was placed or complications due to the procedure (but this is rare, said Fetch by WebMD) , report ed cases of cancer in some microchipped dogs, (again, this is reportedly rare, said Fetch), and the fact we do not have the scanning machine to check the microchip in all cities and towns in the Philippines so if your pet wanders in a city with no microchip scanning machine, the authori ties will not be able to trace the dog or cat back to you, according to a vet-friend who does not believe in microchipping.
“The treatment your cat will need depends on what’s causing their diarrhea. Some will need prescription medications, such as metronidazole or prednisolone, to control inflammation. Your vet may recommend a special diet if they think a food allergy or intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or colitis is the problem. For some cats, a deworming medication or probiotics may also be needed,” Parker explained.

The microchipping technology is already widely used in first-world nations. In fact, some of those countries make it mandatory. This system is used by their governments to more effectively manage the domestic animal population in their countries, particularly in metropolitan areas. It makes registration and monitoring of animals more convenient, more man ageable, and more organized. It just goes to illustrate how seriously they take their legal obligations to protect animals.
A microchip is a tiny electronic compo nent that has a special preprogrammed number on it that can be used to identify your pet. Your cat or dog may be given the chip straight in the vet's office, without the use of anesthetic. It is inserted just beneath the skin.

It s a problem to determine who among the cats had wet poop when a number of cats share litter boxes indoor. But most times, the cat with a health issue is lethargic, has no appetite or exhibits unusual behavior like staying in one corner when he is usually sociable or is irritable when she used to be amiable, among others.
Here are causes of constipation in cats, according to Parker:

that has been accepted and advised by the International Standards Organization, or ISO. The goal of the global standard is to provide a uniform identifying system around the world. The ISO standard scanners in Europe would be able to read the microchip of a dog that was implanted with an ISO standard micro chip in the U.S. and then traveled to Europe with its owners and became lost. If the dog had a non-ISO microchip implanted and the ISO scanner was not forward- and backwardreading (universal), the scanner might not be able to identify or read the dog's microchip. It is 134.2 kHz for the ISO reference frequency. Forward-reading scanners can only read microchips with a 134.2 kHz (ISO standard) frequency; they cannot read microchips with a 125 kHz or 128 kHz (non-ISO standard) frequency. All microchip frequencies are picked up by universal scanners, also known as forward- and backward-reading scanners. The increased likelihood of detecting and reading a microchip, regardless of frequency, is the main benefit of universal scanners. It also does away with the requirement for numerous scanners operating at various frequencies. ((American Veterinary Medical Association, Microchipping FAQ)
