🚨 Don't let rabies sneak up on your furry family members!
Here's what you should know:
Transmission:
Rabies spreads through the saliva of infected animals, like when our curious pets encounter wildlife or get into scuffles with other pets otr animals.
Seriousness:
Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal for cats and dogs. But the good news? We can protect them with proper vaccination!
Common Carriers:
Dogs, cats, and wildlife like bats and raccoons can carry rabies. That's why it's crucial to keep our pets safe from potential exposure.
Symptoms:
Keep an eye out for behavior changes in your pets, such as unexplained aggression, restlessness, or difficulty eating or drinking.
Human Risk:
Rabies can spread to humans through infected pets. So, keeping our furry friends vaccinated isn't just for their safety but ours too!
Action Steps:
Ensure your pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations, keep them away from wildlife, and if they're bitten or scratched by an unknown animal, seek veterinary care immediate

You may have come across stray dogs in your community. For one, stray dogs are no rarity in India. Irrespective of where you live, India is filled with man's most faithful friends. The Indian constitution rules that caring for the well-being of stray and community animals is every citizen's duty. Here are 4 simple ways to care for the paws in your locality:
1. Ensure that water is readily available: Leave water in bowls for the dogs in your locality. Make sure that it is always available for the dogs to access. The summers are unforgiving and water is non-negotiable in keeping your stray dogs hydrated ⛲
2. Feed them 1-2 times a day: Provide warm meals for your stray dogs. Remember to keep the place near and tidy; always clean up after feeding them 🦴
3. Vaccinate: Take your stray dogs to the nearest veterinarian or government facility to get them vaccinated against deadly diseases such as Cabinet Distemper 🏥
4. Spay and neuter: Spaying and neutering stray dogs is an important step in caring for their well-being. Talk to a veterinarian or get in touch with a non-profit to discuss sterilization procedures for your dogs 👩⚕️

What constitutes a successful coccidiosis-vaccination program?
It starts with proper vaccine handling and uniform application at the hatchery. While many factors can influence the outcome, there are numerous ways to monitor the bird to track vaccine effectiveness.
"Getting chicks to eat and drink soon after placement is key because active chicks are more likely to access the sporulated oocysts they need to build immunity," says Charlie Broussard, DVM, Merck Animal Health.
Broussard offers tips on how to determine whether the vaccination program is on track to protect the flock at https://lnkd.in/gC7YahfQ#poultryproduction#poultryhealth#coccidiosis
In the past two weeks, the Hawaiian Humane Society has seen an alarming increase in positive cases of canine parvovirus (CPV) and feline panleukopenia (FPV) incoming to our Kosasa Family Campus at Hoʻopili, particularly among puppies and kittens. These highly contagious diseases are spread through fecal contamination and cause severe symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and immune system suppression. They can be fatal if left untreated.
All dogs/cats brought into the Hawaiian Humane Society’s campuses receive species-specific vaccinations upon admission to protect against CPV/FPV and other diseases. However, please note that most animals entering the shelter system have not received routine vaccinations before coming in, and vaccinations take time to become effective. The added stress of the shelter environment makes them more vulnerable to contagious diseases.
“One pet entering the shelter with community-acquired disease can rapidly spread that disease to other animals, even before symptoms develop,” said Dr. Becca Boronat, National Shelter Medicine Veterinarian at Best Friends Animal Society, a leading national animal welfare organization, working to save the lives of cats and dogs in America’s shelters by 2025. “Shelters can take every appropriate precaution to reduce infectious disease but are still not immune to outbreaks. The very conditions necessitated by traditional animal sheltering predispose pets to illness.”
"What's happening in the shelters reflects what's happening in the community. Therefore, the solution also lies in the community," emphasizes Dr. Boronat. "We implore everyone to step up and help get as many healthy pets adopted or into foster homes as possible and to play a role in reducing shelter intake now and in the future."
Our shelter will remain open for adoptions, fostering and resources, but with stricter disease prevention protocols. To find out how you can make a difference, see our comment below.
Mahalo for your kōkua and compassion.
Parvovirus is estimated to affect more than 300,000 puppies a year,(1) yet only 44% of dog owners are aware of the disease and its symptoms(2). While vaccination is the cornerstone to disease prevention, here are three additional steps we'll focus pet owner educational efforts on this parvo season:
1️⃣ Know the signs and symptoms of parvo and how it spreads. Parvo is easily spread through feces or even on shoes. If your dog is refusing to eat, is vomiting, has diarrhea or lethargy, call your veterinarian and get them checked for parvo.
2️⃣ If your dog tests positive for parvo, ask your veterinarian about Elanco’s Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody, the first and only USDA conditionally approved targeted treatment for parvo that may help puppies feel better faster and get home sooner.
3️⃣ Check our parvo tracking system at https://bit.ly/3x9HCON and sign up to receive parvo outbreak alerts in your area.

"Rabies claims the lives of 2,000 Kenyans annually, 40% of whom are children."
Now, here's the downright reason why we do what we do with rural communities...
“What do parents choose: a carton of milk for their child or a dog vaccination? This is the essence of Ripple Effect’s work: people must have enough to eat, and then we help to build capacity, so they generate an income to take care of their families,” Dr. Peter Ngielo, Veterinarian with Ripple Effect

The decline in rabies cases in the US since the 1960s was a joint effort by human and animal health experts which resulted in successful vaccinations and animal control programs, public health tracking and testing, as well as post-exposure prophylaxis which is used after an animal bite occurs.
The theme of this year's World Rabies Day is “Breaking Rabies Boundaries” and highlights the needs and benefits of working together across sectors and regions worldwide in the fight against not just rabies, but all zoonotic disease, some of which are pandemic-prone.
We want to take today to recognize not just the veterinary professionals involved in this fight, but all of the animal health professionals who help in rabies prevention and control.
