Canine Cancer: Why It Is Rampant, How to Prevent It, and an Exciting New Strategy for Treating Dogs With Cancer

Vet eBooks

By Jonathan Nyce

Canine Cancer: Why It Is Rampant, How to Prevent It, and an Exciting New Strategy for Treating Dogs With Cancer PDF. Cancer is wildly out of control in our dogs. The author, a veteran cancer research scientist with more than 40 years of experience, and whose research has been funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has discovered the cause of the extreme rates of cancer in the canine population. In this remarkable book, he shows how dogs developed a species-specific “kill switch” tumor suppression mechanism that closely parallels the human-specific “kill switch” tumor suppression mechanism, and how this parallel evolution enabled the bond and collaboration between humans and dogs to develop. He also shows how this tumor suppression mechanism in modern dogs has become inoperable, and how it can be regenerated to both prevent canine cancer, and to treat cancer in dogs by re-activation of the kill switch. A must read for anyone who loves a dog.

By Susan Scott

Essential Oils For Pets: A Complete Practical Guide of Natural Remedies and Ailments PDF book will help you learn all about Essential Oils for your loving pet.
You will learn safe and healthy methods to help and heal your dog or cat at home using simple essential oils.

Essential oils are becoming better known as an alternative treatment for pets and people alike. With clinical studies currently underway in Europe, Australia, Japan, India, the United States, and Canada, many of these studies describe the remarkable healing properties of various oils.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

Safe essential oils to use for your pet
The art of blending essential oils
Unsafe Essential Oils
Remedies for common pet ailments that include:
- fleas and ticks
- car-ride anxiety, depression, calming
- car sickness
- allergies
- burns
- ulcers
- arthritis, joint and muscle problems
- weight loss
- ear infections, And Much More!

Susan Scott, the author, survived a bleeding ulcer and was hospitalized for days after severe blood loss. She found the healing qualities of essential oils and discovered a whole new world. With three little and very demanding Maltese Shih Tzus of her own, she learned the exciting art of blending essential oils for herself and her dogs. The biggest problem she overcame for her beloved dogs was fleas, as some medications from the vet and pet stores were not only expensive but did not work effectively. In addition, her oldest dog, 11 year old Sasha had a lot of doggie anxiety going on (licking fly screens cannot be good) so she found some excellent calming oils for her.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Veterinary Sciences

By Mudasir Bashir Gugjoo and Amar Pal

Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Veterinary Sciences PDF book focuses on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of animal origin, including their isolation, characterization, and clinical applications.

After briefly discussing the historical development of the field of stem cell research, it describes the basic properties and nature of stem cells particularly in relation to MSCs. In turn, it reviews materials and methods used to isolate MSCs from various sources, culture expansion, characterization and long-term storage. It also explores the therapeutic efficacy, immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory, and differentiation properties of MSCs.

Importantly, the book discusses the applications of genetic engineering to enhance the efficacy and potential of MSCs in regenerative medicine. The book largely addresses the potential applications of mesenchymal stem cells in therapies for important species of domesticated animals including sheep, goats, cattle, buffalo, cats, dogs and horses. Finally, the book presents an abridgement of challenges and future prospects of stem cell research and application in medicine, in general and veterinary sciences, in particular.
