How to Care for Dogs with Diabetes
Many dogs live a normal life with the disease. And yes, I could handle it. Over time I learned how to care for my dog and help her stay active and healthy. If your dog has diabetes, you too can easily care for your pet with help from your veterinarian and support from your friends and family.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common hormonal disorders in dogs. Statistics show that one in 400 dogs develop diabetes. So you and your diabetic dog are not alone - many other pet owners are helping their dogs stay healthy and live normal lives with this disease.
Types of DiabetesMost diabetic dogs have diabetes mellitus (pronounced MEL-uh-tus). In diabetes mellitus, the pancreatic islet cells that produce insulin are destroyed during episodes of pancreatitis or when the immune system attacks them (a form of autoimmunity). Dogs with diabetes mellitus usually require shots of insulin to help their bodies use the energy from the food they eat.
Diabetes insipidus means that either the body is not making enough of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that controls water regulation in the kidneys, or that the kidneys cannot respond to ADH. Diabetes insipidus is very rare in dogs; this article addresses only diabetes mellitus in dogs.
What is Diabetes Mellitus?Diabetes mellitus is the inability of the body to properly use the energy from food. The disease is caused by a deficiency of insulin, a hormone that regulates how the cells absorb and use blood sugar. Insulin is produced by the pancreas, a gland in the endocrine system.
The pancreas serves two functions: one if the production of digestive enzymes; the other is the regulation of blood sugar. The pancreas produces and releases enzymes into the small intestine to break down food into nutrients. It also releases hormones into the bloodstream to help the body use sugar (glucose). One of these hormones, insulin, controls the uptake of glucose into cells. The cells use the glucose as fuel for energy production. When the body does not have enough insulin, the dog may show symptoms of high blood glucose, such as excessive hunger and thirst, increased urination, and weakness in the limbs.
A lack of sufficient insulin causes glucose to accumulate in the blood until the kidneys must use water to flush excess glucose into the urine, causing dehydration. Severe dehydration can causelow blood pressure and possibly shock, so it is important to start diabetes mellitus treatment as soon as possible.
Causes of Diabetes MellitusScientists are not sure about the cause of diabetes; it may be caused by various factors, including a genetic predisposition, diet, or even exposure to certain viruses. But they can point to risk factors such as obesity, a sedentary life style, and genetic history.
Risk Factors
The following are risk factors for diabetes in dogs:
* Age — Dogs are generally over seven years of age, but are occasionally diagnosed at a much younger age. On average, dogs are diagnosed between the ages of 8 and 12.
* Gender — Female dogs have diabetes at almost twice the rate of males.
* Breed — Although any breed of dog may get diabetes, several studies indicate that some breeds tend to be diagnosed with diabetes more often, which may point to a genetic predisposition to the disease.
The breeds that are at higher risk include:
* Keeshond
* Cairn Terrier
* Schnauzer (miniature and standard)
* Poodle
* Dachshunds
* Beagles Symptoms
Some of the symptoms that can indicate diabetes are:
* Low energy, lethargy
* Losing weight
* Eating excessively, not eating, or other changes in interest in food
* Drinking large amounts of water
* Urinating frequently, which may cause waking up at odd times to urinateBy the time you notice that your dog's eating habits have changed, that he's drinking excessive water, or even vomiting, your pet may be losing weight and getting lethargic.
Because diabetes can be controlled more easily with an early diagnosis, it is important to go to a veterinarian as soon as you notice these symptoms.
The longer symptoms persist without a diagnosis, the more the blood glucose level increases and damage can occur in the bladder, kidneys, liver, and eyes. Dogs with diabetes can also have a decreased resistance to bacterial infections.
DiagnosisTell your veterinarian all the symptoms you have observed in your dog, including the physical symptoms and any changes in mood, behavior, and energy. Your veterinarian may suspect diabetes right away and take a quick blood glucose test like the ones that human diabetics use. This kind of test can give an immediate reading of current blood glucose, but is not a definitive diagnosis since elevated blood glucose readings can be caused by problems other than diabetes.
Your veterinarian will know about many other health problems that cause similar symptoms, such as Cushing's Disease, and may order a blood test for blood glucose levels along with other tests of kidney and liver function, etc.
It may take several days to get the blood test back from the lab. Your veterinarian will want to meet with you to discuss the findings and the care you need to give your pet.
TreatmentTreatment for most dogs includes insulin therapy, weight control, dietary therapy and exercise.
InsulinMost diabetic dogs need insulin, given in daily injections. Depending on the type of insulin your veterinarian suggests, your dog will need one or two injections per day.
Vial of insulin and syringe
Your veterinarian will show you how to handle insulin and administer shots to your dog. The veterinarian may have you practice giving the shot in the office, to make sure you know how to do it and to answer any questions.
Insulin shots are given under the skin, so you won't have to find a vein. Some veterinarians suggest you give shots in the buttocks area, others suggest the loose skin around the neck. Ask which area your veterinarian recommends for your pet.
Too Much InsulinThe greatest threat to your dog's health related to insulin is getting too much insulin. This causes blood glucose levels that are too low (hypoglycemia), which can make the dog very sick and can result in death. Just as human diabetics carry a candy bar or orange juice to treat their low blood glucose, you should carry corn syrup or sugar pills with you for your diabetic dog.
Symptoms of low blood glucose include:
* Dizziness or unsteady gait
* Lethargy
* Shaking
* Falling
* SeizuresEvery dog shows a different combination of these symptoms. React immediately to the symptoms by giving your dog corn syrup or sugar pills. It's important to make sure your dog ingests glucose in one of these forms as soon as possible.
You can dilute the corn syrup in water and let your dog drink it. If the dog does not willingly drink it, administer it orally using a turkey baster. Corn syrup absorbs into the blood stream through the tissues of the mouth, so it is immediately effective.
You should quickly see a change in the dog's symptoms and behavior since this treatment increases the blood glucose right away. Keep in mind that elevated blood glucose for a short time is much less dangerous than low blood glucose. To prevent low blood glucose, it's generally better to err on the side of too little insulin rather than too much.
Weight ControlA healthy weight for your dog will help you control the diabetes and keep your dog active. A diet that is low-fat, moderate complex carbohydrate, and high-protein is recommended. Your veterinarian can suggest changes in diet or a prescription food for your dog.
Make sure to feed your dog at specific times each day and stick to these prescribed times. Resist the temptation to feed extra food, such as table scraps, and ask others in your household not to give treats that may alter blood sugar or increase weight. Consult your veterinarian about acceptable treats.
Other MedicationsCheck with your veterinarian about other medications your dog is taking. Some medications should be avoided in diabetic dogs.
Consequences of DiabetesDiabetes can cause many other health problems when not properly regulated.
Some of the complications include:
* Eyes — diabetes can cause or worsen cataracts
* Kidney disease
* Liver disease
* Limbs — high blood glucose can cause weakness and instability in the legs
* Increased susceptibility to infections PrognosisMost dogs are diagnosed with diabetes when they are between 8 and 12 years old. Some are much younger, but with the consistent care, you can expect your pet to live a normal life and be active and healthy.

Italian Replica Watches for 2015
In the world of replica Rolex watches, those that are Swiss-made are assigned the highest rating because of their level of quality. It's been said that it's almost impossible to distinguish them from authentic Rolex timepieces.
However, despite being just replicas, they do not come cheap, being priced in the mid-hundreds to the thousands (in US dollars). Sure, that kind of price is still a lot lower than what an original Rolex goes for, but it's still out of reach for many who want a quality replica Rolex watch. So what can these people do? They can turn to a replica of a replica, of course. Specifically, those Rolex replica watches that are made in Italy.
Just as Swiss-made Rolex replicas are almost identical to authentic Rolex timepieces in every respect, so the Italian-made fakes are true to their Swiss counterparts. Experts say it's difficult to tell Swiss-made fakes and real ones apart; now it's also said that it's just as difficult to do the same thing when it comes to Swiss and Italian replicas. The only difference is that the Italian-made Rolex replicas are lower in price than their Swiss cousins; they generally cost about 50-60% lower.
If Italian Rolex replicas are just as good as the ones made in Switzerland, why are they cheaper? It's partly because the excellent reputation of the Swiss fakes precedes them. But as word of the quality and Italian counterfeits spreads, more and more people are taking a second look at them and it isn't at all improbable that they will grow in popularity.
After all, if you can get the same quality at a cheaper price, then why not go for it?
Like Swiss replicas, fake Italian Rolex watches also cover a number of models and varieties. Consumers can choose from watches in counterfeit Rolex collections such as the Daytona, Submariner, Sea Dweller, GMT Master, Yacht Master, Daydate, Explorer, Datejust, Presidential, and Cellini.
Replica merchants both on the Internet and offline carry these models and more, and many of them offer both Swiss- and Italian-made versions. Their success as replicas hinges on the fact that they reproduce the traits of real Rolex watches so convincingly.
They carry the same markings and engravings, they are water- resistant, they are made of the same materials – and some even carry a one-year warranty.
But, as mentioned earlier, price is the big differentiator. An authentic Rolex Yacht Master watch, for example, costs around US$30,000. A Swiss replica of this model would cost about US$700. But a well-crafted Italian copy, which looks and feels exactly the same as a Swiss replica, can be purchased for less than half that price – around US$300.
Italians, like the Swiss, are known for their excellence when it comes to design. While they can't take the credit for designing such watches as Rolex does, these Italian replica Rolex manufacturers maintain their reputation for high quality products that are fashionable, contemporary, and elegant – even if it's in the dubious context of the world of replica watches.

Recovery Rehab Programs
Complete recovery from drug addiction requires motivation and determination on the part of the drug abuser. Drug addicts receiving treatment fare best when they regularly attend programs, practice life development skills and avoid any trigger mechanism of drug abuse for total sobriety.
Drug Addiction And Recovery can be a long process that should be conducted with the support of professionals. The possibility of a patient resuming the use of drugs, or relapsing, is very high. Withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings may become agonizing to the addict when they try to stop using the drug.
Occasionally, health providers may prescribe medications for recovering addicts to help ease some of these symptoms. Certain medications can cause severe side effects, especially when not taken according to a doctor's prescription.
However, these medications are helpful in drug addiction recovery, suppressing the physical and menta effects of withdrawal, as well the cravings for the drugs.Illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine are extremely addictive. Continual consumption of these drugs may be fatal and lead to death if immediate medical help is not provided. Even after detoxification the patient still may experience intense cravings.
Doctors in rehabilitation institutions often prescribe medications such as Naltrexone, Gabapentin, methadone, and N-acetylcysteine to address cravings, physical and psychological problems. The medications for drug addiction recovery function by altering brain receptor cells where the chemicals are usually attached.
Ironically, many people abuse drugs to acquire 'good feelings' without realizing that they risk ruining their health, losing their jobs and destroying relationships with family and friends. However, drug addiction need not result in permanent damage, because it can be treated if the patient seeks professional help at a drug addiction recovery facility.
Recovery depends on a number of factors, including the length of time the patient has been abusing drugs, the severity of their addiction and, perhaps most important, their motivation to recover. Successful drug addiction recovery will also depend on support provided by friends, family members and health professionals.
Many drugs have the effect of lowering the level of the chemical substance known as dopamine, meaning that the brain needs time to bring back the level of dopamine to normal. This process may take some months or up to a year. Detoxification forms part of drug addiction recovery. There are numerous rehabilitation centers offering detox programs. A program involving medical detox is helpful in expelling toxic substances from the body that create the feelings that are part of addiction.
This medical treatment is coupled with counseling therapy. Counselors help the patient to identify the root causes of addiction and provide them with skills they can use to deal with the problem.Drug addiction recovery programs are followed by recuperation therapy. This involves learning about the factors that have contributed to addiction.
The risk of drug addiction can be increased due to family background, association with addicts, abandonment or relationship problems. In thereapy, the patients are encouraged to be introspective and to examine the underlying issues that prompted them to start taking drugs. The counselor can also help the recovering addict to fully comprehend what the effects of drug abuse are, including for instance financial strains, damaged health and increased risk of certain diseases, loss of employment and friends.
Drug addiction recovery also involves patients attending group discussions and group counseling sessions where they can interact with other addicts and support each other with effective ways of dealing with addiction.

However, drug addiction need not result in permanent damage, because it can be treated if the patient seeks professional help at a drug addiction recovery facility.
Recovery depends on a number of factors, including the length of time the patient has been abusing drugs, the severity of their addiction and, perhaps most important, their motivation to recover. Successful drug addiction recovery will also depend on support provided by friends, family members and health professionals.
Many drugs have the effect of lowering the level of the chemical substance known as dopamine, meaning that the brain needs time to bring back the level of dopamine to normal. This process may take some months or up to a year. Detoxification forms part of drug addiction recovery. There are numerous rehabilitation centers offering detox programs. A program involving medical detox is helpful in expelling toxic substances from the body that create the feelings that are part of addiction.
This medical treatment is coupled with counseling therapy. Counselors help the patient to identify the root causes of addiction and provide them with skills they can use to deal with the problem.Drug addiction recovery programs are followed by recuperation therapy. This involves learning about the factors that have contributed to addiction.
The risk of drug addiction can be increased due to family background, association with addicts, abandonment or relationship problems. In thereapy, the patients are encouraged to be introspective and to examine the underlying issues that prompted them to start taking drugs. The counselor can also help the recovering addict to fully comprehend what the effects of drug abuse are, including for instance financial strains, damaged health and increased risk of certain diseases, loss of employment and friends.
Drug addiction recovery also involves patients attending group discussions and group counseling sessions where they can interact with other addicts and support each other with effective ways of dealing with addiction.

Basics of Straight Razors
A cut throat razor has just one straight edge that is mounted on a handle by a hinge and that is kept by folding it edge-first into a position in the handle of the razor.
This method of shaving with a cut throat razor or straight razor is the most conventional and argued by some shaving traditionalists as the only way to shave.
The straight-edge razor was also known as the cut-throat razor because it was harmful enough to cut a man's throat.
As far back as the civilizations of Rome and Portugal used iron blades having an extended handle and produced the form of the cut-throat' razor that was the just practical razor till the 19th century. With improvements in metal production came cut neck razor blades that were actually razor-sharp and able to being re-sharpening.
Developments in shaver technology changed shaving routines in the 20th century. In 1900, most men were either shaved by the nearby barber (your trusted confidante, wielding a cut neck razor), or occasionally at house when demanded, rather than consistently. The barber's better-off customers would have private sets of seven cut throat razors, labeled 'Sunday' to 'Saturday'. Nowadays, practically all guys shave everyday in their very own houses, utilizing a wide variety of equipment.
Cut-throat razor can be used with extreme care. Executive Shaving would be very happy to provide guidance on making use of the cut-throat razor before purchase.
Generally, the blades of straight razors are created of steel, the newer shavers have blades made from stainless. The producer's markings are often found engraved or imprinted on the blades which may possibly contain the model.
The Handles of straight razors are made from a variety of various materials, including timber, rubber, horn, ivory, Bakelite, vegetable ivory, and steel. Inlays and enhancements may be of mother of gem, gold, copper, ivory, wood, tortoiseshell.
The right razor should be properly looked after to be able to ensure the upkeep and long life of the conventional men's accessory. While straight razors made of stainless are less challenging, other straight razors need to be washed with clear water and thoroughly dried after every use. When not used for longer periods, it is recommended that the blade of the straight razor be rubbed with light acrylic. Also, the shaver must not be stored in a damp and unaired express. There's no generally valid rule for the whetting (stropping) of straight razors; in several instances, it is sufficient to draw the razor gently on the ball of the usb, particularly when it has been left untouched for a few times between shaves. Wet shavers of the aged college understand that the facet (blade) "grows", i.e. the microscopically discernible and very fine "fin" on the innovative changes during the cut but returns to its old position later; it stretches and again becomes extremely fine. Nevertheless, this fine "fin" may still use away at some stage and a suitable strop should then be bought.
There is no common rule for honing of straight razors; sometimes it is enough to hone it in the ball of the usb, especially if the razor is not used for several days. People, who regularly use razors, understand: the leading edge is growing, meaning that the very fine burr on the cutting edge (which is seen underneath the microscope) changes whenever the razor is employed, but it finally goes back to its old position and will end up very fine again. Nevertheless the burr will degrade after a certain time frame, and the acceptable razor strop should be bought.

Overview of Music in 2015
The music of the Middle East and the Arabic nations dates back thousands of years, and has influenced countless other musical traditions. Contemporary Middle Eastern music combines the traits of traditional Eastern folk music with popular music of the Western hemisphere, including elements of classical music. Ghazal, Qawali, Maghrebi, Kahleeji and Arabic Pop are just a few of the numerous styles of music emanating from Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf in the musics early modern forms, Middle Eastern composers integrated their folk styles with Western influenced orchestras, though currently the trend has turned back toward smaller ensembles. Pre Western Middle Eastern music utilized smaller ensembles.
Traditional Middle Eastern rhythms covered a wide array of odd time signatures. However, as a result of Western musics influence, a large portion of contemporary Middle Eastern music is composed in duple or other meters containing even numbers. Thus, the first two following drum set patterns are written in 4/4. Their overall sound and rhythm serve as accurate examples of traditional Middle Eastern music adapted for the drum set. Like the 5/4 time signature, 7/4 meter is relatively easy to count. It's normal to count a song in 7/4 in one of three ways: 1) count all seven beats per measure; 2) count a measure of 4/4 followed by a measure of 3/4; 3) count a measure of 3/4 followed by a measure of 4/4.
Probably the most famous rock song written in 7/4 is Pink Floyd's "Money". As with other styles, there are countless variations and embellished drum grooves to play in 7/4. The tempo range is similar to that of 5/4, with quarter note equal from one hundred to one hundred and thirty two beats per minute. The 5/8 meter is often more difficult to feel than 5/4 or 7/4 because its normally played at a faster tempo. One practical way of counting this meter is to sound out all five eighth notes per measure. However, due to its faster tempo, it may be more practical to break down the meter into two separate groupings, either a 3 plus 2 grouping or a 2 plus 3 grouping. The pulse of 5/8 meter is often brisk, with eighth note equal from one hundred and ninety two to three hundred and twenty beats per minute.
The Arabic nations music along with Middle East music dates back thousands of years, and has influenced countless other musical styles during its evolution. Instruments such as the Oud - a pear shaped stringed instrument, Persian Tars - a plucked and strummed instrument, similar to an Oud, with a sound board of stretched skin rather than wood, Neys - wind instrument, Qanouns - horizontal instrument with many strings, resembling a dulcimer and Kamenches and Rebabas - both fiddle like, bowed instruments, still characterize this musical genre. Notable Arabic musicians include Kazem el Saher, Nawal el Zoughbi, Najwa Karam, Assi el Hillani, George Wassouf, and Amro Diab. Middle Eastern rhythms were originally devised in antiquity on frame drums, the Arabic tabla, the dumbek, the darabuka, finger cymbals, and other traditional percussion instruments. Though an authentic Middle Edstern ensemble still contains such instruments, the drum set is often used in modern day Middle Eastern ensembles.
