Vets and Pet, Wounded Warriors and the Animals That Help Them Heal

By

-

By Dava Guerin and Kevin Ferris

Experience firsthand the inspiring and heartwarming bonds between wounded veterans and their service and companion animals.

“Vets and Pets tells fifteen emotional and entertaining stories of the incredible bonds between wounded warriors, veterans, and other service members and their service and companion animals. Whether these special relationships are with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, or even birds of prey, readers will discover how these remarkable animals help veterans return to civilian life and live independently while simultaneously bringing joy and confidence into their lives.

Tyler struggled to adjust to civilian life after losing both of his legs in Afghanistan, until he met his intelligent and willfully disobedient red European Doberman pinscher, Apollo. Vietnam veteran Patrick regained a sense of well-being and hope through the study of birds of prey. Max the horse has helped numerous veterans learn to trust, improve their communication, and increase their self-confidence and self-esteem. Mandi discovered that the intelligence and unconditional love of pigs were exactly what she needed to heal from an abusive past and a disappointing army-training injury. These are just a few of the uplifting stories that are featured in this striking collection.

In addition to exploring the unique, lifelong bonds that can develop between veterans and their animal companions, Vets and Pets spotlights extraordinary nonprofits that unite wounded warriors with service and companion animals, including Pets for Patriots, Hooves Marching for Mercy, Horses Helping Heroes, and Avian Veteran Alliance, among others. A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to Pets for Patriots.

By Indranil Samanta

Veterinary Mycology is a comprehensive overview of the fungi that are clinically relevant for animals and humans. It is divided in three major parts: the first part comprises the history of veterinary and medical mycology, general aspects of morphology, growth, nutrition, reproduction and classification of fungi. In the second part, the etiologic agents of cutaneous, subcutaneous and systemic mycoses are described in detail with special emphasis on emerging and uncommon pathogenic fungi. Each chapter consists of a brief history and the morphology, classification, reproduction, susceptibility to disinfectants, natural habitat, distribution, genome, isolation, growth and colony characteristics, antigenic characteristics, virulence factors. The major diseases and their routes of transmission, pathogenesis, immunity, diagnosis and treatment are also covered. The third part focuses on laboratory diagnosis including clinical sample collection, their processing for fungal isolation, special stains for microscopic visualization, culture media composition and a relevant glossary. Each chapter includes color photographs, schematic diagrams and tables for better understanding.

FoalinMare DVD: Insights Inside the Foaling Mare

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Jan Govaere, Katrien Martens and Aart de Kruif

FoalinMare DVD: Insights Inside the Foaling Mare. In comparison with other domestic animals, parturition in the horse is a fast and almost explosive event. Mostly it takes place in an uncomplicated manner, but when difficulties arise, adequate veterinary intervention can be life saving. Most of these life saving interventions can only be learned from bitter experience, with all the consequences which this involves.

The objective of this DVD is to provide veterinary surgeons and students, grooms and horse owners with more ‘insights inside’ the foaling mare. This was done by creating a model to visualize the entire birth process from stage I through stage III.

The resulting DVD consists of 2 high-definition film sequences and 45 minutes of 3-D movie animations illustrating the normal intra-uterine development of the foal, the normal progression of stages 1, 2 and 3 of parturition and the associated abnormalities, prolapse of the bladder, uterine torsion and many other complications pre- and postpartum, including malpostures and malpresentations, obstetrical manipulations, foetotomy, cesarean section, and more.

All details thus captured were checked by renowned specialists in equine obstetrics, and scientific considerations prevailed in the design.

The entire production comes along with voice-overs in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German. Subtitling and texts are available in Arabic, Dutch, Estonian, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian.
