Also at this tender age one is more prone to ailments and even a bit of carelessness could prove fatal. For the parents there could be no greater sorrow than losing a child or seeing him handicapped.

| | COMMON AILMENTS (page 2) - Health Care | | 2008-02-15 06:56:00 | | The urinary systemProblems in this system are marked by difficulty passing urine, blood in the urine, loss of weight, and thirst.When a cat strains to pass urine, the owner may thing it is suffering from constipation, but it may have “gravel†in the urine. Cats on mainly dry-food diets, cats taking insufficient water, and tom cats castrated very early are more prone to “gravelâ€. Which is a deposit of salt crystals in the bladder that can eventually block up the water pipe (urethra) of male animals. When the bladder is over-full and tight as a drum, the cat is on considerable pain, will resent being handled, and may actually turn to look at its hind quarters and spit angrily. Take your cat to the vet for treatment, and don’t try squeezing the cat’s swollen bladder yourself because it is very easy ruptured.Blood in the urine generally indicates bladed infection (cystitis). This complaint is more common in female cats and also requires veterinary treatment.Loss of weight and t... | | By: Kitty Cat Meow | | |
| | COMMON AILMENTS (page 1) - Health Care | | 2008-02-15 02:02:00 | | Cats may have nine lives but they are, like humans and other creatures, occasionally out of sorts and sometimes downright ill. The study of feline diseases and their treatment by medicine and surgery are important areas of veterinary science, and much research is currently being done – recently a virus (FIV) has been identified as producing a feline immune deficiency syndrome, which is similar in some respects to the Aids virus affecting humans but not transmittable to humans. No matter how skilled your veterinarian may be, it is the cat owner’s responsibility to have some working knowledge of the common feline ailments. The owner is normally the first to spot that all is not well with an animal, and must know then to seek professional attention and how to assist the patient’s return to health.This section describes the symptoms of the commoner diseases of cats, and explains what you should do about them and what treatment is available from the vet. Simple, useful first-aid techn... | | By: Kitty Cat Meow | | |

| The Killler Cola-Obesity, Diabetes And Chronic Kidney Ailments | | 2008-01-27 21:23:57 | | When you receive the Seal you will start to take better care of your health. One thing you can do is cut out the cola in your diet. A new study shows that drinking cola can cause kidney problems.Drinking cola is already well known for contributing to two common problems: obesity and diabetes. There are so many calories in just one can of cola that it is quite easy to drink a few cans and quickly get hundreds of calories.And those hundreds of calories are "empty" calories--no other nutrients go along with them. Cola is nutritionally "empty" with little more than calories and caffeine and can even be called anti-nutrition.This kind of anti-nutrition also puts you at risk for diabetes, especially Type 2 diabetes which often develops because of a poor diet. Fortunately that poor diet is something that can be changed more easily than some other diseases can be treated.But there is also a lot of phosphoric acid in colas, and that has been shown to cause kidney stones and other kidney ailment... | | By: Health Care Guide | | |
| | Elbow Ailments
Let us talk about tennis first.... | | 2007-02-20 00:34:00 | | Elbow AilmentsLet us talk about tennis first. Although in the tennis the back, arms, legs and ankles can all be injured, the elbow is the most likely target for the trouble. Tennis elbow can develop in anyone playing the game because of the severe strain put on the elbow in serving and placing the ball. It must be kept in mind that the tennis racket is an extension of the forearm, and the combination acts as a lever arm for which the elbow is the fulcrum. If a ball traveling rapidly toward the player is struck with the racket, the entire force is transmitted to the elbow. That is bad enough, but is missed by the rapidly traveling racket.Whenever the player feels a strain on his elbow while playing, he should massage and place pressure on the acupuncture sites of the elbow each time the ball becomes dead. If he does this he may prevent tennis elbow from occurring either if it has already occurring or is a chronic problem with him. The procedure is mandatory while he is playing if he wan... | | By: Acupressure | | |

The shoulder, which is important... | | 2007-02-20 00:28:00 | | Back AilmentsThe shoulder, which is important in many sports, is closely involved with the neck and will be discussed prior to neck problems. Although golf can involve other injuries, the back is a prominent target. The golf swing is a complicated movement involving multiple muscles and parts. Back points are pressured on both sides at once (bilaterally). The most important point, back point one , is illustrated in Fig. 8 Trigger points are points that are tender but are not acupuncture sites. A set of trigger points for low back pain are located as described in fig. 9. Identified as back point 2, these points are the most difficult for a person to press or massage himself, and help is needed. As a matter of the fact most back points can best be stimulated by second party and especially for a week or infirmed individual, any point should be stimulated carefully by an informed and conscientious friend. Fig. 8 (Back Point 1)(Bladder 23) Exact location is between second and third lumb... | | By: Acupressure | | |

The wrist is very responsive to acupressure or pressure acupuncture. There are a number of important points in this area which besides having use in wrist arthritis or general systemic problems. The figures will be repeated when these illnesses are discussed, but for now the wrist itself is the object of our attention. Wrist hand point I is described in figure 16. Pressure can be used with or without massage.Wrist injuriesWrist-hand point 2 fig. 17 is an important point for wrist injuries. It can be used either with pressure alone or with rotation of the finger. The applications should be for several minutes at a time and more than one point can be stimulated simultaneously. Of course, if the injured party is working on himself, the uninjured hand works on the injured. If both hands or wrist are involved, he may need help.

Unfortunately, serious ligament us tears and torn cartilages can result from seemingly insignificant, as well as significant trauma. Therefore, it is important to see a doctor about any knee that seems seriously injured before relying too much on pressure acupuncture. If the doctor feels conservative therapy is indicated then acupressure should be given a good try. If the knee does not respond, the doctor should be re-consulted. This advice actually applies to pressure acupuncture in general but is more important with some things than others. The first knee point is knee point 1, (fig 27) Fig. 27Knee point 1(Stomach 35)Location can be seen by slightly bending the knee and finding the depression at the lower outside edge of the knee cap.Knee/Leg injuries and Knee ArthritisKnee point 2 (fig.28) is important with knee and leg injuries and arthritis of the knee.

Its usually , will be able to be pressed fairly hard and can stand rotation in the case of ankle injuries since the most painful part of most ankle injuries are not at its proximity, if it is the only point that can be pressed and massaged, it is well worth while.Ankle Injuries, Ankle Edema and ArthritisAnkle-foot point 2 fig. 35 is another point that has great use in ankle infirmities.

Shoulder and neck inju... | | 2007-02-19 23:24:00 | | NECK AND SHOULDER AILMENTSShoulder and neck injuries, while they are distinct and separate in many respects and can occur individually and frequently, too often together. Furthermore, they share a number of acupuncture sites. Therefore, it is convenient to discuss the two together. We will divide the discussion into two parts: shoulder points only, combination points (points shared by both anatomical parts) , and neck points only.Shoulder points 1 fig. 40 is the most important point for relieving pure shoulder disabilities. Pressure and rotary massage may be used. The same is true for shoulder point 2 fig. 41Shoulder point 3 fig. 42 is also a point reserved for shoulder injuries and disabilities only. These three points can be used singly or together. As with the other parts previously described, the most pressure can be used over points more remote from the injury. All points should be used initially and then determination made if one point is superior to the other. Fig. 40Shoulder... | | By: Acupressure | | |
