Fly strike is basically a condition where flies are attracted to the fur or exposed skin on a rabbit, whereby they lay eggs that hatch into maggots that subsequently cause extensive skin and deep tissue damage. The attraction to flies comes from urine or fecal soiled hair or skin that has been damaged by fight wounds, fleas or skin mites. Treatment requires veterinary attention and potential hospitalization. Prevention is attained by keeping your rabbit INDOORS and clean.

Rabies in Dogs
La rabia es una enfermedad producida por un virus que, probablemente, es la más desagradable de todas las que afectan a los animales de sangre caliente, incluyendo las personas y los perros. Casi siempre es mortal.

Rabies in Cats
La rabia es una enfermedad viral que pueden contraer todos los animales de sangre caliente, incluyendo gatos y perros, aunque algunas especies presenten más resistencia natural a padecerla que otras. Cuando aparecen los signos clínicos de rabia, la enfermedad es casi seguramente fatal.

Rabies is a viral disease that can infect all warm-blooded animals, including cats and people, although some species are somewhat naturally resistant to the disease. When signs of rabies occur, it is an almost invariably fatal disease. Vaccination and post-exposure quarantine are discussed.

Rabies is one of the most devastating viral diseases affecting mammals, including dogs and humans. It is a fatal disease caused by infection with the rabies virus. Following a bite from a rabid animal, the disease progresses in stages. Vaccination is the cornerstone of rabies prevention.

Radiation is a type of energy produced naturally by the sun, earth, and rocks and artificially by machines. Although several types of tumors can be treated with radiation therapy alone (e.g., nasal tumors, brain tumors, and certain types of lymphoma), radiation therapy is most commonly used to destroy or limit the growth of cancer cells left behind (i.e., microscopic disease) after a tumor has been surgically removed. Side effects depend on the type and location of the tumor and its surrounding tissues.

Radiographs (X-Rays) for Dogs
Muchos de nosotros no somos aún conscientes de las ventajas que tiene la radiología, aunque en los perros resulte algo más complicada que en las personas ya que no podemos decirle al paciente que se este quieto, se coloque en esta o aquella postura o aguante la respiración.

Radiographs (X-Rays) for Cats
Uno de los procedimientos diagnósticos más comunes en medicina son las radiografías o rayos-X. El término rayos-X se originó en 1895 cuando el físico alemán Wilhelm Röntgen descubrió la técnica.

X-ray images are produced by directing X-rays through a part of the body towards an absorptive surface such as an X-ray film or electronic sensor. The image is produced by the differing energy absorption of various parts of the body. Bones are the most absorptive and leave a white image on the screen, whereas soft tissue absorbs varying degrees of energy depending on the density, producing shades of gray on the image. Air on an X-ray is black. X-rays are a common diagnostic tool used for many purposes.
