Extractions: Jump-To Menu/Site Map Protect Your Companion Animals From Common Household Dangers The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) reminds us that many common household items can pose a threat to our animal companions. Even some items specifically meant for companion animals could cause health problems. Although rodent poisons and insecticides are the most common sources of companion animal poisoning, the following list of less common potentially toxic agents should be avoided if at all possible: Antifreeze - the types containing ethylene glycol have a sweet taste that attracts animals but are deadly if consumed in even small quantities; one teaspoon can kill a seven pound cat. The types containing propylene glycol are safe in small amounts but still toxic in large doses. The HSUS recommends that you use a safe antifreeze in their vehicles.

RABIES REVACCINATION FOR COMPANION ANIMALS: CANADIAN DATA By Rabies is widespread in Canada, although, traditionally, the majority of reported cases have occurred in Ontario (85%), and to a lesser extent, in Saskatchewan (10%). Since1958, over 60 000 rabies cases have been recorded, with approximately 75% of http://www.siriusdog.com/rabies-canada.htm
Extractions: Nigel Gumley DVM Introduction Although prior to 1945, dogs accounted for the majority of the cases of rabies in Canada, vaccination, animal control, and regulatory measures have reduced the incidence of rabies in dogs. Vaccines for dogs are currently available with one, two and three year label recommendations, while cats have one and three year rabies vaccines available. Despite the availability of vaccines providing longer term duration of immunity, many veterinarians in Canada continue to use the rabies vaccine on an annual basis, even when using triennial products. In some cases, there appears to be significant confusion as to regulatory requirements; in others, there may be a lack of confidence in triennial products being used according to label recommendations. Vaccine Use Across Canada -The Provinces In a telephone survey of the use of rabies vaccines across Canada, significant variability existed with regard to revaccination policies or procedures3. In Newfoundland, small animal practices currently recommend triennial vaccination; some practitioners have even discontinued rabies vaccination for indoor cats and those that do not travel outside the island. Dogs and cats in areas of Labrador with minimal private veterinary care receive vaccination from lay vaccinators, usually public health nurses. Although a triennial schedule is recommended for these pets, the nature of the vaccination times prevents strict adherence to this policy; pets are often vaccinated only when vaccinations are available in the communities. Emphasis is given to vaccinating in the months prior to an anticipated outbreak.

Extractions: Field Officer Equipment Checklist This sample field officer equipment checklist has been adapted from equipment lists created by Ft. Wayne Department of Animal Care and Control in Indiana and the Humane Society of Carroll County in Maryland. This list should serve only as a guide for public and private agencies that provide field services and/or animal rescue services. It is not an exhaustive list, and some items might be more relevant to specific regions; a fowl leg grasper, for example, might be used more often in rural or farming areas. For the most part, however, a well-stocked field services vehicle includes appropriate capture and handling equipment, first-aid items for both animals and humans, dog and cat food, investigative tools, educational materials, record-keeping equipment and paperwork, and communications devices.

Extractions: DOGS IN THE PARKLANDS Dogs are welcome in the Parklands. Many areas of the Parklands are set aside for walking dogs both off and on a leash. People use the Parklands for different reasons. We ask dog walkers to be considerate of others and make sure dogs are under control at all times. Cats must be on a lead at all times when in the Parklands. There are regulations for dogs in the Parklands to make sure dogs do not compromise safety in areas where there are horses, cars, cyclists, children or sporting activities. They also help protect the Parklands' animals, plants, ponds and heritage monuments. The rules are legally enforceable. You can be fined on the spot for breaking them. Click here to see the Dogs in the Parklands brochure, which outlines your responsibilities as a dog owner and has a map of the Parklands showing on-leash, off-leash and prohibited areas. (Please note that it may take a few minutes for the brochure to download). THE COMPANION ANIMALS ACT The Companion Animals Act (1998) introduced new standards of care for dogs and cats, as well as regulations aimed at promoting public health and safety. To meet the requirements of the Act and to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for park users, the Trust revised its dog policy and regulations. Following considerable public consultation, these have been updated and are explained in the brochure, Dogs in the Parklands.

The Bower Awards are presented annually by the Franklin Institute. Dr. Brinster is being recognized for his original and highly significant contributions to the field of mammalian embryo development and gene regulation. He was chosen by a prestigious international panel of scientists including Lap-Chee Tsui, Ph.D., professor of molecular genetics in Toronto, Canada; Dr. Pablo Rudomin, M.D., Ph.D., science advisor to the President of Mexico; and Marvin Caruthers, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In his most recent work, Dr. Brinster took frozen rat stem cells the cells that make sperm thawed them and grew them in living mice. The mice produced rat sperm along with their own. His continued leadership in the field of transgenic biotechnology promises significant advances in animal husbandry and human health.

Planned Giving Programs for the School of Veterinary Medicine The American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia was the site of a special ceremony in November. Here Dr. Ralph Brinster was honored by the City of Philadelphia as the recipient of the John Scott Prize. The award, established in the early 19th century by John Scott, a druggist from Edinburgh who provided funds to the City of Philadelphia to present awards to people who had made useful inventions. The first award was presented in 1834. Dr. Brinster was honored "for his pioneering research in transgenesis. The transgenic animals pioneered by Professor Brinster produce insight into such human genetic disorders as birth defects, cancer and heart disease." The other honoree was Dr. Frank A. Cotton, a chemistry professor at the University of Texas. Past recipients of the prize have included innovators and scientists such as Mme. Currie, Thomas Edison, the Wright brothers, Edwin Land, Jonas Salk, Guglielmo Marconi and many others selected to follow John Scott's wish of honoring "ingenious men or women who make useful inventions."

Extractions: Pound seizure is the practice, which refers to the taking of cats and dogs from shelters and pounds, to supply the biomedical research industry with live models. When dogs and cats are obtained for research, their fate is terminal. Some animals die quickly, while others are allocated for long-term, agonizing studies. Once the animal is turned over to the research facility, the Animal Welfare Act and anti-cruelty laws are close to nonexistent. Although there is no law pertaining to pound seizure, fourteen states prohibit it. Most other states have no declaration regarding pound seizure and leave it up to the county or town governments to decide. Several anti-pound seizure bills have been presented before Congress, but it has yet to be ratified. AB 588, as introduced 2/18/03 by Assemblyman Paul Koretz, (D-West Hollywood), is intended to prohibit the pain and suffering of animals who are sold or given away by animal shelters to entities that perform biomedical research, product development and safety testing, and educational demonstrations.
