The Canine Thyroid Epidemic: Answers You Need for Your Dogs/Health/Behavior $19.95 W. Jean Dodds, DVM Diana R. Laverdure THE CAN Problems with your dog? It may be his thyroid! If your dog is lethargic, losing his hair, gaining weight or suddenly becomes aggressive, perhaps the last thing you (or your vet!) would think about is his thyroid. Unfortunately, however, thyroid TheThe CanineCanine I disorders can cause literally dozens of health and behavioral problems in dogs and frequently NE go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed. And the real tragedy is that most thyroid problems are treatable with the right medical care and a well-informed owner can often minimize the chance T of a thyroid disorder occurring in the first place. HYRO Noted veterinarian Jean Dodds and co-author Diana Laverdure have done the dog owning Thyroid Epidemic public and their vets a great service by writing The Canine Thyroid Epidemic. The book is written Thyroid Epidemic in such a way to inform both the average dog owner and animal health care professionals about I the ways in which thyroid disorders occur, can be prevented and treated. D E You will learn about: pi AnswersAnswers YouYou NeedNeed forfor YourYour DogDog • The role of the thyroid and why it is essential to a dog’s health. DEM • How to identify the clinical signs and symptoms of thyroid disorders. I • The lab tests needed to identify thyroid problems and how to administer the proper medicines. C • How an increasingly toxic environment can impact your dog’s health. Answers You Need for Your Dog Need for Your Answers You What experts are saying about The Canine Thyroid Epidemic There’s probably no one in the dog world who garners as much respect from all quarters as Dr. Jean Dodds. Her latest work alarms and alerts us to an epidemic of thyroid disease of staggering proportions. It alarms us as we witness the early age at which the disorder now commonly appears, and alerts us to how commonly we aggravate the problem through breeding, vaccination and feeding practices. Steve Marsden, DVM, Canadian Vet. Med. Assoc. Small Animal Clinician of the Year, 2009 The Canine Thyroid Epidemic is an amazing, life-saving gift to countless dogs and the people who love them. This expertly crafted guide provides the tools, advice and information needed to help dog parents navigate this complex, often misdiagnosed and misunderstood disease. From recognizing the signs to finding the right veterinarian to long-term management, I can’t imagine a better resource. Thanks to Dr. Dodds and Ms. Laverdure for shedding light on this epidemic in terms we can all understand. Melanie Monteiro, author of The Safe Dog Handbook Dr. W. Jean Dodds has raised the awareness that canine hypothyroidism is not only about low thyroid hormone levels, but in fact, it’s a continuum of disease that often begins with the immune destruction of the thyroid gland (autoimmune thyroiditis) and progresses over time to end-stage disease (hypothyroidism). Not only is this book a great “eye opener” for pet lovers but also should serve as Jean Dodds, DVM W. Diana R. Laverdure a reference for veterinarians whether they are in veterinary school or have many years experience in private or university practice. Rhett Nichols, DVM, ACVIM, endocrinologist Dr. W. Jean Dodds received the D.V.M. degree with honors in 1964 from the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Toronto. She is the owner of Hemopet, the first nonprofit national blood bank program for animals. She and her husband live in Santa Monica, California. Diana R. Laverdure received a bachelor of arts in English magna cum laude from Tufts University. A lifelong dog lover, and journalist for over twenty years, she is a frequent contributing writer on dog health and dog care topics to a variety of national dog magazines. She and her dog Chase live in Boynton Beach, Florida.

Laverdure Praise for The Canine Thyroid Epidemic Jean Dodds has been my closest friend and mentor for over 17 years. Her enduring dedication to the health and welfare of dogs has been absolutely inspiring to all of us seeking viable health methods and longevity for our loving, furry companions. Jean has spent over 40 years researching, testing and lecturing about the impact the thyroid gland has on the health and longevity of dogs and other animals. There are few true revelations in veterinary medicine, and Jean’s work is a major example. Her studies of thyroid dysfunction, behavioral problems, and autoimmune diseases has solved many undiagnosed canine problems, and has answered a lot of unanswered questions. As the founder of a large canine care group, I have seen the health of thousands dogs improve remarkably as a result of Jean’s clinically tested discoveries. I’ve also seen seizures re- duced or eliminated in dogs with canine epilepsy. Over the years five of my own dogs have benefited from Jean’s experience. I don’t know Diana, but she is clearly an amaz- ing writer. She has combined academic credibility, case studies and Jean’s voluminous research into a easy-to-read form that benefits veterinarians and dog guardians. This is a book that should find its way to the door of every veterinarian looking for answers to unanswered questions. Joanne Carson, PhD, founder www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com Dr. W. Jean Dodds has raised the awareness that canine hypothyroidism is not only about low thyroid hormone levels, but in fact, it’s a continuum of disease that often begins with the immune destruction of the thyroid gland (autoimmune thyroiditis) and progresses over time to end-stage disease (hypothyroidism). And anywhere along the way clinical signs may appear; such as behavioral issues to classic signs such as lethargy and weight gain. In addition, Dr Dodds has made it clear to pet owners what signs to look for that may suggest thyroid dysfunction and what questions to ask their veterinarian about thyroid testing. Moreover, from her vast experience, she has outlined the many pitfalls that can lead to a wrong diagnosis such as assuming normal thyroid hormone levels rule out thyroid dysfunction. Not only is this book a great “eye opener” for pet lovers but also should serve as a reference for veterinarians whether they are in veterinary school or have many years experience in private or university practice. Rhett Nichols, DVM, ACVIM (Internal Medicine), senior educator in veterinary endocrinology. A must read book to all dog lovers!!!! Dr. Jean’s knowledge is a breath of fresh air and a life saver for our beloved 4-legged “children.” Tamar Geller, renowned dog coach and best seller author of The Loved Dog and 30 Days To A Well-Mannered Dog. There’s probably no one in the dog world who garners as much respect from all quar- ters as Dr. Jean Dodds. She is widely known for her uncompromising standards in research and her relentless devotion to the welfare of the canine species. She is truly a household name amongst dog owners and veterinarians alike. Her latest work alarms and alerts us to an epidemic of thyroid disease of staggering proportions.

  • Irish Water Spaniel
    YOU BE THE JUDGE By Robert Cole From Dogs in Canada, May 2005 THE IRISH WATER SPANIEL HISTORY According to Harry Glover, author of The Standard Guide to Pure- Bred Dogs, there’s little doubt that the Irish Water Spaniel owes its origins to the European Water Dog (Figure 1), which he informs us was also an ancestor of the Poodle. This woodcut is from the 4,000-page Icons Animatium produced by Conrad Gessner over the period 1551-57. For the book General History of Quadrupeds, Thomas Bewick (1752-1828) produced a woodcut of the Large Rough Water Dog (Figure 2), which is closer in appearance to today’s Irish Water Spaniel than Conrad Gessner’s woodcut. This woodcut also resembles the Otterhound, a breed said to be an IWS ancestor (in addition to the Portuguese Water Dog and a setter or two). The Irish standard (FCI) informs us that the exact origins of the breed remain obscure. Generally it is thought that water spaniels evolved from dogs that originated in Persia and came to Ireland via Spain. The first Irish reference to water dogs that pursue waterfowl dates from 1600, so we know that dogs with waterproof coats were used in Ireland even before the advent of the flowing piece. There is no real evidence of the ancestry of the Irish Water Spaniel except in its most peculiar feature, the rat tail. This feature appears in no similar dog and makes it very likely that the modern breed had an indigenous Irish ancestor. The tail has given rise to the names “Whit Tail” and “Rat Tail”.

  • Introduction to the Basenji Standard
    Introduction to the Basenji Standard What does it all mean? Prepared and copyrighted by the Basenji University in 2010 1 A standard is a description of the ideal dog for each breed. It is intended to serve as a word pattern by which dogs are evaluated. Every Breed’s Standard has a history. The first UK Basenji standard, written by the breed’s founders, was approved in 1942. There have been several revisions over the years. The current AKC standard became effective June 28, 1990. Each update is meant to clarify not change the basic description. The 1990 standard came about when brindle Basenjis were finally successfully brought from Africa so the new color description was added. AKC required all revised standards to be uniform in layout and use of terms so these changes were required at that time as well. 1932 imports from Africa to England 2 Copyright the Basenji University We are going to go through the Basenji standard by sections as it appears in its official AKC form. The actual standard will be in black and comments will be in this rusty brown color. This is simply an introduction to demonstrate what each part of the standard is discussing. It is not meant to explain why the standard calls for each feature nor is it meant to change the official published standard. It is wise to study the origins and original function of the Basenji to understand the reasoning behind some of the points in the standard. Information on these subjects is found throughout the Basenji University.

  • Arthur Golding and the Elizabethan Progress of Actaeon's Dogs
    ,.... <http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:21-opus-49614> | <https://doi.org/10.25623/conn001.3-taylor-1> Connotations Vol. 13 (1991) Arthur Golding and the Elizabethan Progress of Actaeon's Dogs ANfHONY BRIAN TA YLOR It was as the Elizabethan Age opened that Actaeon's dogs set foot in English for the first time with Arthur Golding's translation of Metamorphoses. 1 Golding's work reflects the impoverished poetic milieu of the fifteen sixties with its rough, earthy vocabulary, and inflexible, ungainly metre. It also reflects the limited contemporary response to Ovid; like other mid-Tudor Englishmen, Golding had little appreciation of Ovid as the pagan poet of the flesh-his interest is liable to pall rather quickly when faced by elaborate descriptions of beautiful youths by pools or nymphs in flight before gods. And in an era when English was in a ''barbarous'' state, struggling to establish itself as a literary language, Golding, as might be expected, conveys almost nothing of the wit and verbal brilliance with which Ovid's poem is presented. But give him a scene of action, Phaethon "reeling" in terror as he loses control of the "fierifoming Steedes" of the Sun, Cadmus "crashing the steele" between the teeth of the monstrous Snake of Mars, Achemenides "trembling like an aspen leaf" as the Cyclops savagely devours victims "yit more than half alive," and he is in his element.2 His other great joy is the countryside; he has a real interest in country people, the way they speak and the way they live-anyone curious about life in a sixteenth-century cottage should turn to Book Eight of his translation and the story of Baucis and Philemon (802-902), and at times he can display a naturalist's eye, noting fine details like the "fine red string a crosse the joyntes" in a swan's webbed feet (2.468), or the delicacy and texture of the "shere and velume wings" with which bats ''hover from the ground" (4.506).
