Ticks out early, so use preventives on petsQ: I am already seeing ticks on my dog. I don't remember ticks being out this early in the spring; is it another sign of global warming? A: I concur with you that ticks are already out this year. In fact, I found one crawling up my leg last week. However, I cannot report about our climatic or political future, but the sight of these parasites indicates it is time to begin applying tick preventives. Ticks hatch and nymphs are active once the weather warms to around 52 F. <a href="http://www.goldvk.com/Game.gw2_us.Guild Wars 2.gw2.Gold.Info.aspx">guild wars 2 gold</a> Perhaps we are seeing more ticks because human development is reaching further into their habitat, or because our ability to travel has carried ticks into new environments. Ticks carry many diseases that are a threat to animals and humans. The most common ones are Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. But luckily there are many good tick preventives available today; check with your veterinarian to find out which one is best for your pet. Q: Have you ever come in contact with swine flu, and how do you recognize it in pigs? A: Personally, I have not seen or diagnosed swine flu, but in veterinary school and accreditation classes I learned about many zoonotic diseases, including influenza. Zoonoses are transmissible from animals to humans, and veterinarians are well versed in this arena. Swine flu in a pig causes fever, weakness, discharge from eyes and nose, coughing and respiratory distress. Humans who come in contact with an infected pig may develop flu symptoms, but that is not common. While some countries are slaughtering tens of thousands of pigs out of fear of this disease, according to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, the recent outbreak is not known to exist in pigs. The Association says no pig farmers or workers have fallen ill, and of the people infected, none report having direct contact with pigs. <a href="http://www.goldvk.com/Game.gw2_us.Guild Wars 2.gw2.Gold.Info.aspx">gw2 gold</a> Influenza viruses mutate easily, and this flu virus has genetic components of human, avian and swine influenza A. It is being termed swine flu because six of the genes are swine influenza A. <a href="http://www.goldvk.com/Game.gw2_us.Guild Wars 2.gw2.Gold.Info.aspx">guild wars 2 gold</a> Tracy Dewhirst is a freelance contributor to the News Sentinel. 2009, Knoxville News Sentinel Co.
