A: Well, it sounds like your dog has gotten himself into a ‘sticky’ situation! Generally speaking, there is a wide margin of safety regarding Elmer’s glue and borax. However, there are some things you will need to watch for. Borax ingestion can cause clinical signs of vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling. If any of these signs are noted, it would be best to visit the veterinarian for symptomatic treatment. Chronic, long-term exposure to Borax has been linked to renal toxicity. However, the pet would have to ingest large amounts of Borax over a long period of time. Renal toxicity is not likely in an isolated incident such as this one. ~Dr. Kristy Mounts Meet Dr. Bethany Busby! Dr. Bethany Busby was born community cat (feral cat) and raised in Minden, LA.

    History of the Abyssinian Cat: Within this section you will find information which will tell you a few things about where the breed may possibly have originated and/or how it was established. Many of the claims made about the breed's origin are probably more myth and fantasy than reality and controversy lingers on until today. Almost any cat book talking about the breed will start with the theory that the first Abyssinian cat was brought to England by a British soldier, in 1868, returning from Abyssinia War (Ethiopia today). Its name is recorded to be "Zula" and believed to be the founder cat of the breed. Having a closer look at the picture published to be "Zula" one would however quickly agree it has practically nothing in resemblance with the breed whether we look at pictures from early Abyssinians or at some more recent ones. The coat seems to be longish and waved rather than that of a shorthaired cat and ears are so tiny that many a modern Persian or Exotic would get embarrassed. Frances Simpson says in "The Book of the Cat" (London 1903) that the so-called Abyssinian cats of her time bore a 'very striking resemblance to the Egyptian or Caffre cat, and a picture of a painting in her book features an Abyssinian cat with ringed tail and many stripes on the legs. However, it is generally believed that all of today's domestic cats are descendants of the African Wild Cat (Felis Libyca). Harrison Weir, on the other hand, had a somewhat less avantgardistic proposal about what may have created the unique look of the breed as it was shown around this time in England and says in "Our Cats and All About Them" (1889) that a cross between the English wild cat and a domestic cat had produced kittens similar to those imported from Abyssinia, so there obviously had been some from that country.

  • Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tui-Na and Food Therapy Integrated with Other Treatments for Chronic Renal Disease of a Cat
    Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tui-na and Food Therapy Integrated with other Treatments for Chronic Renal Disease of a Cat Lisa J. Donato DVM ABSTRACT A 10-year-old 2.77-kg neutered male Abyssinian cat was presented for lethargy, vomiting and anorexia due to renal failure. He had been treated with intravenous fluid therapy, an anti-emetic drug and an appetite stimulant, but his clinical signs and laboratory tests did not appreciably improve. Treatment with a dry needle acupuncture technique and aqua-acupuncture using the homotoxicologic formula Berberis Homaccord and vitamin B-12 was instituted. In addition, Tui-na, Food therapy and conventional medications were also administered. In subsequent treatment sessions the Chinese herbal formulas Shen Qi Wan and Rehmannia 6 were added. With the addition of these treatments, the cat’s renal function significantly improved and his clinical signs resolved. It has been over three and one-half years since the cat’s initial presentation and he continues to have acupuncture treatments every six weeks and is doing well. This case demonstrates that acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and other TCVM treatments can be an important adjunct to the treatment of cats with chronic kidney disease and may significantly increase the length and quality of life for cats presented in renal failure. Key words: chronic renal failure, chronic kidney disease, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Tui-na, Food therapy, feline, Kidney Yin and Yang Deficiency, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine A 10-year-old 2.77-kg neutered male >16.1 mg/dL (reference range 3.1-7.5 mg/dL) (Table 1).

  • Genetic Assignment of Domestic Cats to Breeds and Worldwide Random-Bred Populations
    doi: 10.1111/age.12008 Variation of cats under domestication: genetic assignment of domestic cats to breeds and worldwide random-bred populations J. D. Kurushima, M. J. Lipinski, B. Gandolfi, L. Froenicke, J. C. Grahn, R. A. Grahn and L. A. Lyons Department of Health & Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California – Davis, Davis, CA, 95616, USA. Summary Both cat breeders and the lay public have interests in the origins of their pets, not only in the genetic identity of the purebred individuals, but also in the historical origins of common household cats. The cat fancy is a relatively new institution with over 85% of its 40–50 breeds arising only in the past 75 years, primarily through selection on single-gene aesthetic traits. The short, yet intense cat breed history poses a significant challenge to the development of a genetic marker–based breed identification strategy. Using different breed assignment strategies and methods, 477 cats representing 29 fancy breeds were analysed with 38 short tandem repeats, 148 intergenic and five phenotypic single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results suggest the frequentist method of Paetkau (single nucleotide polymorphisms = 0.78, short tandem repeats = 0.88) surpasses the Bayesian method of Rannala and Mountain (single nucleotide polymorphisms = 0.56, short tandem repeats = 0.83) for accurate assignment of individuals to the correct breed. Additionally, a post-assignment verification step with the five phenotypic single nucleotide polymor- phisms accurately identified between 0.31 and 0.58 of the misassigned individuals raising the sensitivity of assignment with the frequentist method to 0.89 and 0.92 for single nucleotide polymorphisms and short tandem repeats respectively.
