TDH Regional Offices Good Pet Care is Important to Human Health Did you say "I love you" to your faithful pet today? If so, you are not alone; approximately 91% of pet owners have said those same words to their pets at least once. Additionally, surveys indicate that about 76% of pet owners feel guilty about leaving their pets alone at home. No doubt about it, animals play an integral part of the family unit and, in some cases, can be one of the most important beings in a person's life. An estimated 59% (58.2 million) of US households contain a companion animal. Although dogs and cats comprise the majority of the pet population, birds, ferrets, fish, horses, rabbits, and an array of reptiles and rodents also deserve honorable mention. In specific health scenarios, pet companionship has demonstrated significant benefits for sufferers of Alzheimer's disease; pets lowered hyperactivity, verbal aggression, anxiety, and psychological suffering in these patients. Pets have also demonstrated the ability to lower blood pressure in humans by their physical presence. Some dogs have even been known to detect melanomas, a type of skin cancer, which may have otherwise gone unnoticed. With all that companion animals do for us, shouldn't we return the favor by being responsible pet owners? When you adopt an animal, a visit to a veterinarian should head your list of things to do. In addition to having a general health assessment, many animals, especially dogs, cats, ferrets, and horses, require a variety of vaccinations, many of which are subsequently given on an annual basis. Some of the diseases you are having your pet vaccinated against, such as rabies and leptospirosis, can be passed between animals and humans. Therefore, by protecting your animal, you are protecting yourself, family members, and friends from potential exposure to certain diseases. Many animal diseases caused by parasites, including a variety of worms, can also be shared with people; however, application of an appropriate wormer and some preventive medicine advice from a veterinarian can address any related animal and human health concerns.

TDH Accent on Health May 5, 2000 Good Pet Care Is Important to Human Health Did you say "I love you" to your pet today? If so, you are not alone; 91 percent of pet owners have said those words to their pets at least once. Additionally, surveys indicate that 76 percent of pet owners feel guilty about leaving their pets alone at home. No doubt about it, animals are an important part of our lives. Almost 60 million American households include a companion animal, and while dogs and cats comprise the majority of the pet population, birds, ferrets, fish, horses, rabbits and an array of reptiles and rodents also deserve honorable mention. With pets playing such a big part in our daily lives, keeping them healthy can go a long way in keeping ourselves and our families healthy as well. Good health and sanitation rules at home for the protection of your family also should include important rules about pets to prevent passing some diseases and parasites from animals to humans. For example, wash pet dishes separately from your own and rinse with boiling water. Children should never kiss animals or share eating dishes with them. Any reptile tanks, fish bowls or bird cages should be placed out of reach of children. Always wash hands thoroughly with soap after handling pets, their dishes, cages or litter boxes. "It's also a good idea to learn first aid techniques and have some supplies on hand," said Pam Wilson, program specialist for the Zoonosis Control Division of the Texas Department of Health (TDH). "Learn about poisons and store them out of reach, and keep emergency veterinary telephone numbers handy."

Download this Book and Save Hundreds on Vet Bills! We all want our beloved ferrets to be happy and healthy. This means paying the vet hundreds of dollars for exams, right? No! Ask any vet the care your ferret gets at home has far more effect on his health than any vet exam. In fact, most vets give out advice along with prescriptions advice that could have prevented the illness in the first place! Wouldn't you like to have that advice now, before you have to hear it from your vet? Did you know? Ferrets should be fed a high protein diet with at least 33% protein from poultry, which contains taurine. Without taurine, your ferret can go blind! Understanding your ferret's diet needs is easy, will keep him healthier and happier, and can prevent expensive treatments in the future. Note: we are not saying you will never have to visit the vet again! Vet care is important to your pet's health. However, with the care techniques in this book, you can prevent a multitude of costly illnesses with just a little knowledge! Our "Ferret Care"

Actually, we're in the jungle about six miles from town. It's a haven for pets! Our dogs, cats, and chickens are all very happy with their sunny fenced acre, and we plan to add more pets to the family as we find those that need homes. We also have hundreds of geckos, anoles, frogs, and birds of every description living around us, and are thoroughly enjoying our new jungle surroundings. Of course, this means I couldn't do too much work on the web site last month. Never fear, as I have tons of improvements planned! I'll be adding a way by which you can attach pictures to forum posts, upload your own forum icons, plus am writing new pet care ebooks for rabbits, betta fish, turtles, and iguanas.

I. Ferrets: Understanding your Ferret INDEX You've had cats and dogs, and you may even be familiar with one or more varieties of little critters, like hamsters, rats and guinea pigs. We'll tell you right off the batferrets aren't like any of these species. Domesticated about 2,000 years ago, the inquisitive, intelligent ferret can make a great playmate for the right person. Through an understanding of what makes your little guy tick, you can better meet his needsand strengthen the bond between you in the process! It may take awhile for you to figure out what your ferret's trying to tell you. Most fuzzballs don't make much noise, but you may hear yours cluckingalso called chucklingnow and then. This means your pet is happy and excited, and should not be confused with the high-pitched screech, an indicator of pain, fright or anger. And when a ferret hisses, he's letting you know that he's annoyed or angry. Many negative behaviors exhibited by ferrets are caused by boredom. Some animals may resort to digging in their litterboxand flinging the contents every which waywhen cooped up in their cage. Remember that your ferret needs daily playtime in a safe, stimulating environment and lots of attention from you to remain happy. If you can't engage your pet fully during playtime, please consider keeping two or more ferrets.

I. Ferrets: Common Health Problems INDEX With regular veterinary care, proper nutrition and plenty of playtime, your ferret should remain in fine form throughout his life. But members of this species are very sensitive, and are prone to a variety of illnesses. Discussed here are some of the most common ones to watch out for. Did you know that blockage in the intestine and stomach is the leading cause of death in young ferrets? These curious animals will eat anything in their paths, including indigestible items such as erasers and rubber bands. Some signs of blockage include vomiting, bloating and constipation; in worst-case scenarios, stomach surgery may be required. As a responsible pet owner, you'll need to ferret-proof your home and keep all dangerous objects out of your fuzzball's reach. Blockages can even be caused by hairballs, so it's also important to regularly give your pet a hairball preventive.

Comments about vets (good and bad) Pictures of my two ferrets, PeeWee and Snowball Pictures of my ferret, Pixie, who passed away in November 2000 Have a Happy Thought FERRETS: A GREAT COMBINATION Someone once told me that ferrets are a combination of the best features of a kitten (loving and playful, but independent), a puppy (loyal and playful) and a hamster (can be caged when needed). With a dog, you need to take it for a walk or let it out a couple of times a day to "do its duty," but if you have a really rough day, you can put the ferret in her cage for the day - but be prepared, she'll need extra playtime the next day. BEFORE BUYING A FERRET If you are looking to purchase a ferret, I highly recommend that you do a little research before getting one. They can be more demanding than you would first think. They love to interact with us humans, and they also love to explore all of the places they're not supposed to get into. So, you will need to spend time

The Meerkat in the picture above is probably acting as the lookout for the den. The lookout duty is traded off among the adult Meerkats of the den so someone can alert them to danger at all times.
