If your dog is going to a veterinary hospital or clinic, call ahead to let them know you have a suspected case of canine influenza virus. Untreated, the illness may progress to pneumonia or other, more serious problem. If you believe your dog may have canine influenza virus, contact your veterinarian immediately. Treatment of canine influenza virus requires veterinary assistance. If your dog does get sick, isolate them and keep them isolated for up to 21 days after symptoms subside. ![]() Use disposable gowns or wipe down clothing and shoes with a bleach solution between dogs or after leaving an area where dogs congregate. At the very minimum, hand sanitizer should be used between handling dogs. Wash your hands frequently, especially between handling different dogs. Allow items to thoroughly air dry before exposing dogs to them. Use a bleach and water mixture to disinfect common areas such as tables, bowls, leashes, crates, etc. Vaccines take 3-4 weeks to provide immunity. The vaccination requires a booster shot two weeks after the initial vaccine. There is now a single vaccination to prevent both the H3N2 and H3N8 strains of the virus. Fever (normal temperature is 101-102 degrees).Discharge from the nose or eyes that may become green or thick.Dry, hacking cough (similar to kennel cough but can progress to a moist, congested cough).Most dogs will completely recover with proper treatment, but the disease can be fatal. ![]() Viral shedding starts to decrease after the fourth day, but dogs with H3N8 can remain contagious for up to 10 days after exposure, and dogs with H3N2 can remain contagious for up to 26 days. The incubation period of canine influenza is approximately 2 to 4 days from initial exposure to the dog, often even before showing symptoms. Dogs can also contract and spread the virus without showing symptoms. Most dogs exposed to the virus will contract it, and about 80% will show symptoms of illness. Since it’s a highly contagious disease, it can easily spread through infected dogs that are in close proximity, contact with contaminated vectors, or people moving between infected and uninfected dogs that can transfer the virus. Whether your dog is often in social spaces or lives in a single-pet household, it’s important to try to minimize the risk of canine influenza. Which Dogs Are Most At Risk for Canine Influenza? Worsening signs are the development of pneumonia. The signs of influenza are usually lethargy, fever, decrease in appetite, cough, runny eyes/nose, and possible vomiting. Cases usually do require veterinary attention, regardless of severity. Though dogs can die of the flu, as in humans, the majority don’t. To be fully vaccinated against influenza, dogs should receive two initial sets of vaccinations followed by a yearly booster. Just like humans, it’s best to get your dog the flu shot each year. Owners of boarding and daycare facilities may require vaccination of dogs frequenting their establishments. In general, dogs that participate in events and social activities should be fully vaccinated for core vaccines as well as Bordetella and canine influenza. ![]() Most veterinarians do recommend getting the vaccine for canine influenza, especially for dogs who frequent the groups mentioned above that are higher-risk. ![]() Jerry Klein, who was personally involved in treating hundreds of dogs sickened by the virus during its initial outbreak in Chicago in the spring of 2015. Here are some things to note about the canine influenza vaccine, from the American Kennel Club’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. It’s safe to be around your dog when they have canine influenza, just as they can be around you when you have the flu. It is important to note that people don’t become infected by dogs infected with influenza, and dogs do not become infected by humans infected with the flu. In fact, you may be able to obtain one vaccine for both depends on what your vet offers.ĭogs most susceptible to canine influenza are those that frequent communal activities: dog parks, dog events, grooming shops, daycare and boarding facilities. Any dogs can contract the virus from other infected dogs or from vectors, which are inanimate objects such as dog bowls, clothing, etc., that have recently been exposed to the virus. There are now vaccines available for both known strains of canine influenza: H3N8 and the more recent H3N2. The difference is that we now know which viruses cause the two different strains of influenza, which helps veterinarians diagnose and treat the illness properly. As with human influenza, the dog flu stays with them. Outbreaks of canine influenza virus, also known as the “dog flu,” can occur anywhere at any time.

At that point he said “I also made a second jump into Holland, into Arnhem.” I was standing with a genuine war hero. I told him yes, I know exactly where Normandy was, and I know what D-Day was. do you know where Normandy is?” At this point my heart stopped. ” at which point my heart skipped.Īt that point, again, very humbly, he said “I made the 5 training jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped into Normandy.

If you have a lot of splitting, or white spots on your nails, you should definitely not have overlays. You should avoid having any kind of overlay including gel and acrylic if your nails are extremely weak for example. In some circumstances, overlay can be bad for your nails. Hard gel overlays, if removed correctly, shouldn’t cause any damage to your natural nails. However, I do notice that my nails get weaker, softer, and split more often after using gel polish compared to normal polish. Gel overlay is good for your nails if you want to make them look nicer and feel a little stronger. In my personal experience, gel polish and hard gel overlays are slightly better for your nails than acrylics. ![]() Is acrylic overlay good for your nails?Īcrylic overlays are good for anyone who has weak or short nails that are in good condition.Īpplying a layer of acrylic over the natural nail can approve the appearance and strength of your nails.Īs long as your natural nails are in good overall condition and you remove them carefully, you shouldn’t have any issues.īut it’s always best to get acrylic overlays taken off professionally to avoid potential damage. To minimize the risk, you should always get your overlay nails removed by a professional. However, like all nail products, they do contain potentially harmful substances, and the removal process can cause damage to the natural nail. Gel polish, hard gel, and acrylic overlays will all strengthen your nails and make them last longer. If your nails are brittle, short, or if you bite them, then overlays can help you to grow your natural nails. If you ask for gel nails, just make sure you clarify whether you want gel nail polish or poly gel application and you’ll be fine! Is overlay good for your nails? The important thing to remember is that with gel overlays, whether it’s polish or hard gel, the length of the nail is NOT extended. Technically, a layer of gel nail polish is an overlay, because a nail overlay is any layer of nail product applied to the natural nail without extending.īut, if you ask a nail technician, they will tell you that to them, gel overlays are natural nails covered in a HARD setting gel, like poly gel. The only difference is that overlays cover just the natural nail, whereas acrylic nails are usually extended with either nail forms or plastic tips. People often get confused between acrylic “nails” and acrylic overlays.īoth acrylic nails and acrylic overlays are applied in the same way (an acrylic nail brush dipped in monomer and then acrylic powder).

Don't die by any of those methods, and choose Ending #1 (Out of Body Experience) just to be on the safe side. I'm not sure if that's because Ending #2 counts as a death and one of the above methods doesn't, or just because it doesn't tally them until the end regardless of which ending you get- and now that I've gotten the achievement I can't test to find out.īasically, do the complete opposite of Glutton for Punishment, above. As with the mummies, this leads to an automatic reload rather than a game over screen.Īfter all of the above, the achievement still won't register until you beat the game, and possibly only with Ending #2 (drinking the D'versahe). If you don't run to the exit, the Shoggoth (which looks like a big black blob with some glowing yellow nodules) will bear down on you and kill you. In the desert ruins of Rub'al Khali, on your way out after solving the constellation puzzle and discovering the Jurassic-era map, your character will hear a rumbling and warn that he needs to get out of there. This one doesn't lead to a game over screen, but just reloads you right before the mummies are revived. When the lizard mummies in the connecting halls are revived and give chase, just let them catch you right away. Again, there are many opportunities to do this throughout the game, starting with the vines behind the vertical metal stand you set the talisman into shortly after picking it up. Just stand in the middle of the vines after they've withdrawn until the talisman runs out of energy and turns red, and the vines will close in and strangle you, giving you a game over screen. However, the talisman runs out of energy over time, fading from blue to red. In the ruins after the submarine ride, you'll eventually pick up a portable crystal talisman that you can charge at the glowing blue obelisks and equip to make the poisonous vines retreat. The first few times will crack the glass, the final time will sink the sub and lead to a game over screen as you drown. When you're in control of the submarine, just smash it into some walls at full speed. ![]() There are many opportunities to do this throughout the game, starting with the very first time you encounter the plants, after getting off the Link Elevator beneath the base and picking up the first axe you find. After enough cuts, you'll black out and get a game over screen. Use an axe to repeatedly cut at the blue poisonous vines, rather than getting them to retreat by shining light on them. Nerve or muscle damage after radiation treatment to the pelvis.Nervous system conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or stroke.Urinary tract infection or inflammationĬauses that may be more long-term include:.Stool impaction from severe constipation, which causes pressure on the bladder.Certain medicines (such as diuretics, antidepressants, tranquilizers, some cough and cold remedies, and antihistamines).Bedrest - such as when you are recovering from surgery.Causes of sudden or temporary incontinence include: Incontinence may be sudden and go away after a short period of time. Weakness of the pelvic or urethral muscles.Dementia or other mental health problems that make it hard to feel and respond to the urge to urinate.Mixed incontinence occurs when you have more than one type of incontinence, usually both stress and urge urinary incontinence.īowel incontinence is when you are unable to control the passage of stool. Overflow incontinence - occurs when the bladder does not empty and the volume of urine exceeds its capacity. ![]() You don't have enough time after you feel the need to urinate to get to the bathroom before you do urinate. Then the bladder squeezes and you lose urine. Urge incontinence - occurs as a result of a strong, sudden need to urinate immediately.Stress incontinence - occurs during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise.The three main types of urinary incontinence are: Or, you may not be able to hold any urine. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of your body from your bladder. If you are experiencing urinary leakage or wetting accidents, contact Urology Austin to schedule a thorough evaluation.Urinary (or bladder) incontinence occurs when you are not able to keep urine from leaking out of your urethra. Minimally invasive surgery to correct prolapsed organs.Minimally invasive surgery to remove prostate tissue that is blocking the flow of urine.In-office procedures, such as Rezum or Urolift, to remove excess prostate tissue.Intermittent self-catherization for patients with neurogenic bladder.Medications to relax or shrink the size of the prostate.Some factors can be treated by the urologist, or in conjunction with another specialist if a disease state is involved. The appropriate treatment option will depend on the underlying cause of overflow incontinence. Treatment options for overflow incontinence The urologist will most likely request a Urodynamics evaluation to determine how well the bladder is storing and voiding urine. In addition, a urinalysis will assist in determining if infection is present. To start, the provider will review the patient’s personal and family medical history, current symptoms, and perform a physical examination. When visiting a urologist, the provider will use several tools to assist in their diagnosis. This is due to damage or obstruction of sacral nerves. Neurogenic bladder – The loss of sensation to determine when the bladder is full.Blockage caused by a prolapsed organ – bladder, uterus or rectum.Blockage cause by bladder and kidney stones. ![]() In itself, urinary retention can be an emergency condition. Urinary retention is another contributor which can result from several different factors. Urine flow may also be hindered by damage to the spinal cord that has resulted in a bladder that cannot contract effectively. ![]() For men, this blockage may be caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate. Overflow incontinence is generally caused by a health condition that is restricting the normal flow of urine. Overflow incontinence is one of several types of urinary incontinence, and is most common in older men. Essentially when urine is added to a bladder that is at its capacity, the excess urine will spill out causing urinary leakage or a wetting accident. Overflow incontinence is an involuntary loss of urine when the bladder becomes overfull due to a secondary health concern. ![]() Otherwise, leave that option unchecked for better security. ![]() That’s okay if both host and guest are in the same secure location.

Brewers rice is a cereal grain by-product consisting of the small fragments left over after milling whole rice. On the brighter side, pork and bone meals are meat concentrates and contain nearly 300% more protein than fresh pork. ![]() Scientists believe this decreased protein quality may be due to the ingredient’s higher ash and lower essential amino acid content. Pork and bone meal may have a lower digestibility than most other meat meals.

If replanting in a bed, prepare the site as described below. Trim any diseased or dead root mass away, and replant or pot and fertilize with transplant fertilizer.Use a clean, sharp knife to cut a piece of the root mass away that is attached to the targeted stems, being careful not to disrupt the connection between root and stem.Try not to break the larger primary roots as you tease the roots away from the plant.Start 12 inches back from the plant and dig about 2 feet under the root system, or as deep as you can get on one side of the plant to lift up a small section with a few stems.First, push any mulch away from the area you’re working in so you can reuse it.Plants grown from cuttings tend to develop shallower taproots, in my experience, but avoiding root disturbance is always a good idea with these plants nonetheless. Unlike some perennials, hardy hibiscus planted from seed should be divided carefully without digging up the entire root system, since their taproots will be forever impaired if you do this. The best time for making divisions is in the spring or early fall, when soil is moist. ![]() From Crown DivisionsĬrown divisions are done with mature, fully grown plants that have many stems and a healthy root system. Once you see roots beginning to creep out the bottom of the pot and the cutting is well-rooted, repot in a 10 or 12-inch container, and place it out in a greenhouse or sunny window for a season before transplanting outside. If successful, leaves will start to develop in about two months. Watering with 1-3 percent hydrogen peroxide every 2-3 waterings will reduce the chance of rotting. Place the in a warm area with consistent temperatures of at least 60☏, in a greenhouse with 50-60 percent humidity, or in a sunny window covered with a humidity cover or bag.Carefully insert the lower half of the cutting and tamp the planting medium around it. Poke a hole deep into the growing medium, about half the length of the cutting and wide enough to avoid rubbing the rooting powder off.To avoid getting the powder wet, pour out what you need before dipping. Remove buds from the lower half of the cutting, moisten the cut end, and dip it in softwood rooting hormone powder.Cut a piece of new growth (softwood) four to six inches in length.Prepare a pot of moistened medium consisting of 50 percent soilless potting mix and 50 percent perlite. |
