Just Great, My Dog Has Worms, Now What?
It can be a devastating and disgusting diagnosis when a Veterinarian tells you that your dog has Worms. Even worse, you may actually see the Worms coming out of your dog or in their stool, if they have Roundworms or Tapeworms. Trust me when I say that that can be a nearly traumatic experience. Also disturbing, some of these Worms can even be transmitted from your dog to you, which is called zoonosis. These include Roundworms and Hookworms, so you should take extra precautions and follow your veterinarians advice to the letter, if you dog has one of these parasites.
Each type of wormy parasite requires a different treatment or medication, and will display different symptoms. Every dog owner should at least have a working knowledge about the warning signs of a Worm infestation and the treatments involved. Here are the five types of Worms that may infect your dog.
Roundworms - There are two types of Roundworms and they are the most common Worm infestation in dogs. The symptoms of Roundworms include: pot-belly appearance, diarrhea, vomiting, dull coat and weight loss. You may even see this type of Worm in your dogs vomit or feces. They look like pieces of spaghetti up to 6 inches long or longer. This type of Worm is usually treated with oral medication, with follow-up fecal screenings. This is one of the types of Worms that can be transferred to humans, but good hygiene will usually eliminate this threat. Hookworms - Hookworms can not be seen with the naked eye, so they are usually diagnosed by your Vet with a test. The symptoms of Hookworms include: bloody stool, anemia, weight loss, pale gums, diarrhea and low energy level. This parasite is usually treated with oral medication, follow-up fecal screenings, and in the worst case, a blood transfusion. This is the other type of Worm that can be transmitted to humans. Good hygiene and cleaning up after your infected dog can prevent a human infection. Tapeworms - Common Tapeworm symptoms include abdominal pain, nervousness, severe itching around the anus, vomiting and weight loss. You may also see this Worm in your dogs feces. The broken sections, which may still be moving, will give the dogs stool a rice like appearance. Tapeworms must usually be treated with a prescription oral or injection dewormer medication. Over-the-counter dewormer medication is usually not strong enough to clear this kind of Worm infestation. Whipworms - This Worm can not be seen by the naked eye, and must be diagnosed through testing. Symptoms of a Whipworm infestation include anemia, weight loss, flatulence, diarrhea with blood or mucus in the stool and lack of energy. These Worms can be difficult to treat with over-the-counter medication, but there are very effective prescription treatments. Heartworms - Although easily preventable, untreated Heartworm infections are potential fatal. The symptoms usually do not show up until the last stage of the disease, and include pot-belly, coughing, lack of energy and dull coat. Because symptoms do not appear until its too late, it is best to use a over-the-counter preventative medication to stop these Worms before they endanger your pets health.
Having a Wormy dog can be an unpleasant experience, but in almost all cases there is an effective treatment available to help your favorite dog live a healthy and Worm free life.

All About Cognitive Dysfunction Or Doggy Alzheimer's
What is Cognitive Dysfunction or Dog Alzheimer?
Yes, the dreaded Alzheimer's Disease in humans can also affect dogs. Basically, that's what the term Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome means. This is a disease that tends to affect older dogs. However, there are also cases of Cognitive Dysfunction in younger dogs. In a nutshell, Cognitive Dysfunction or Doggy Alzheimer catches all the behavioral changes that occur in animals as they grow older that cannot be traced back to any other illness or disorder. Alzheimer's disease in dogs can be traced back to brain nerves damages. The scientific cause os very much like the cause of Alzheimer's disease in humans.
How to know if your dog has Cognitive Dysfunction
Cognitive Dysfunction or Dog Alzheimer has a lot of symptoms. In humans, Alzheimer's disease is very much associated to memory loss. The same is true about Doggy Alzheimer. Memory loss is the top symptom of this syndrome. To detect memory loss, start looking for signs of your dog forgetting things. Your dog may suddenly forget the layout of your house. They may suddenly forget tricks that you've taught it, which it has known all its life. Sometimes, older dogs even forget that they have just eaten, so if your dog starts growing old and begins asking for food very frequently, you can take that as a sign. However, since memory loss can be part of the natural aging process, it is not usually a sure sign, unless it is accompanied by many other symptoms. Other symptoms include drastic personality and behavioral changes, as well as tendencies to become easily confused. Behavioral changes can affect the decrease in the dog's daily stamina and energy. If you suddenly find that your dog seemed to have made a sharp transition from being an energetic dog to an older dog that just wants to sleep the whole day, it may not be a normal aging characteristic, but may already be a sign of Cognitive Dysfunction. Also, if your dog suddenly develops various types of disorders at around 12 to 16 years old, chances are its recent separation anxiety, phobia, or aggression, is caused by Alzheimer's disease.
How to Treat Doggy Alzheimer
Doggy Alzheimer can be taken as your earliest cluse that your dog may be closer to the end of the rope. In most cases, complete treatment is not possible anymore. The only thing that can be done is to lessen the symptoms, and to try and make your dog live longer. Some known treatment options for Cognitive Dysfunction are quite effective in doing those things. However, most treatments, such as Anipryl, which is also used as a treatment for Parkinson's Disease in humans, may have negative side effects to dogs. If your dog has Cognitive Dysfunction, make sure to consult your veterinarian for the best treatment option that you can use. You should also be aware that it is practically impossible to stop all the symptoms completely. The next best thing that you can do is try to relieve your dog of the symptoms that are most bothersome, both for your pet and for you as well. Aside from medications, there are also several types of therapies available. These therapies are safer, and are known to be more effective than medications. When you consult to your veterinarian, make sure to ask about all the possible options available to you.
