Feline oral resorptive lesions (FORL), also known as feline stomatitis or more commonly feline tooth resorption, is a relatively common oral disease often seen in veterinary practice. The general nature of the disease is to eat away at the tooth structures similarly to cavaties or carries in humans, though the disease is not initiated in the same manner as humans as felines do not consume an overabundance of simple carbohydrates. In fact, it is not truly known what the cause of this disease is, though
Every day there are millions of cats around the world that contract a broad range of illnesses. When an owner’s feline companion becomes ill, it is good for them to recognize any clinical signs that may be present and know whether their cat had the potential to come into contact with an unknown animal if an interaction was not seen. Information like this will help the veterinarian to make a proper diagnosis and create a treatment plan for the animal. Some illnesses can be potentially fatal and can
Although cats and dogs are both animals they are different in many ways from, showing love, grooming, vaccinations, food, and vet care. To me dogs are more loveable than cats. However, cats are cheaper when it comes to grooming, vaccinations, and food. Owners treat and take care of their dogs better than their cats. I have always been more of a dog person even though they are expensive. Cats and dogs are different in the way they bond with their owners. While I have always been more of a dog person
partial solution to this problem, veterinarians have resulted to keeping their opinions to themselves and following what they were taught in school all of those years ago. In graduate school, the veterinarian students are taught to follow the vaccination schedule and follow it right on the dot when it comes to the dates as well as the time of year! Some people are more fond of this method so that they are not taking any unnecessary risks; while
Skipping Childhood Vaccination Is Not Neglect According to The Guardian, everyday approximately 11,000 babies are born in the United States of America. From the time they are born, they are required to be immunized. In the first few hours of life, these newborns receive the Hepatitis B vaccine. There are parents however who are skeptical about the potential side effects of all the vaccines. They think that immunizations are going to harm their children by causing them to develop neurological deficits

smallpox. This observation led Edward Jenner to his first ever vaccination technique. He inserted the cowpox virus obtained from the scabs of a woman into a boy, and then when the boy was inoculated some time later, he proved immune to smallpox (Fenner). It is impossible to contract smallpox from this inoculation of the less virulent related virus and allowed individuals a way to protect themselves without risk. Later, the smallpox vaccination was adapted by using a different live virus, the vaccinia
still children all across the United States that are being deprived of life saving vaccinations. The universal vaccination dilemma causes moral principles such as beneficence and justice to be debated continuously in regards to how nurses provide care to patients. In 1997, the American Nurses Association made a position statement supporting the intentional outreach to children and communities receiving vaccinations that still remains today. It states, “The fulfillment of the immunization goal is a
In New Zealand scientists are warning that biosecurity is at risk with new trade deals. With allowing the new free trade agreements and all the tourism at the border, this is where the risk comes from. Figures have shown that little less then have of one of their major exported crops had been on the market before the disease it was carrying was reported. This will on average cost producers of the crop $200 a year to unsure that the crop is not infected (Morton). Biosecurity- especially in the food
Vaccination was first introduced globally for small pox and later on extended to other communicable diseases which are now known as vaccine preventable disease. Vaccination is beneficial both for individuals and community. This bring us to the ethical dilemma - Vaccination of a healthy child with the intention of protecting both the individual child and the community at the same time exposing the child to the theoretical risk of exposure to disease products whether live, attenuated or killed. There
Every year, tens of thousands Americans die from the seasonal flu alone. This alarming statistic is what led the United States government to urge the country to vaccinate themselves, as well as their children every November, when the flu season is fast approaching. Though countless Americans do follow the government’s plea, many others insist that these vaccines distributed every year (as well as other year-long vaccines) contain an abnormally high amount of thimerosal, (a mercury-based chemical
Edward Anthony Jenner, known as the founder immunology, created the foundation of modern vaccines by paving the road to wiping out formerly inescapable diseases such as smallpox (source 4.) The results of his work can be seen in modern healthcare. Edward contributed greatly to the research as well as saving numerous lives in his invention of the smallpox vaccine. Edward Jenner was born on May 17, 1749 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. He was the eighth child out of nine. His father was the vicar of Berkeley
Rabies is the oldest infectious disease that is spread between species. Historical evidence of rabies dates from about 2300 BC. The first written record of rabies is in the Eshnunna code (ca.1930 BC), which states that owners of rabid dogs with symptoms of rabies should take preventative measures to keep their dog away from others. If a person were to be bitten and later become ill or die, the owner would be fined heavily. During this time and for many centuries to follow, it was commonplace to kill
Louis Pasteur, the most famous French chemist in the world, was born on December 27, 1822 and passed away on September 28,1895. He said: “There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it”, which showed his ideal method for science. In this quote, he admitted that theoretical science and applied science have to go together and his whole scientific life
thirty-three doses of ten vaccinations by the age of five years. Not only do children need a separate vaccine for most diseases (hepatitis B, polio, Hib, and chicken pox are single vaccines; DTaP and MMR are multiple) but they generally need more than one dose of each vaccine. Because of the many vaccines needed, vaccination is an extremely controversial topic in the United States Today. Whatever side of the aisle you may fall with regard to your opinion about vaccination, one thing is for certain:
After there was an outbreak of smallpox in 1000CE, the smallpox immunization was created to limit the fatalities. Eventually, the inoculation traveled to Africa, Europe, and the Americas. However, in 1796, Edward Jenner used cowpox components to create an even stronger immunity. Over the next two centuries, that method undertook several medical changes. Furthermore, in the 1930s, vaccines against many diseases such as tuberculosis and typhoid developed. More recently however, vaccine research and

The researchers discovered Somali Americans developed twice as many antibodies to rubella after receiving the current approved rubella vaccination than did White Americans. Hispanics appeared to have the lowest immune response to the vaccine.
Australia nad brought the disease with them. To this day, people fear that U.S.A or Russia will use the Smallpox sample they have stored as a biological weapon, which could cause another outbreak in the targeted country. This would be horrific but vaccinations would be created to reduce the number of infections. There is also a very slim chance that it will be used as a weapon.
side effects that may accompany vaccinations. Faced with conflicting information, there are many questions that arise from these concerns and parents do not want their children to catch any crucial illness but are also concerned about the risk and side affects of vaccines. Challengers have claimed that vaccines do not work, that they are or may be dangerous, or that mandatory vaccinations violate individual rights or religious principles. Some wonder, are vaccinations even 100% effective? For parents
