Top grooming tips for canines

Is your normally happy and bouncy dog moping around the house looking depressed? Check to see that he has no rashes or skin problems and that his coat is okay. His grooming would depend on his breed and hair type. If you find that he has scabs or sores, don’t bathe him as it will only make things worse. It might also dry out his skin. Take the dog to the vet if he has skin problems or fleas which make him constantly scratch and lick himself. Follow the vet’s instructions on how to bathe him. Here are some grooming tips once the dog feels better:

·                     Brush his coat gently. If the dog has short hair this can be done once or twice a month.

·                     Have him in a comfortable position and do his nails. He might not like it but it has to be done. If you find you can’t cut his nails, let the vet do it – or you might get a rotary tool to cut his nails.

·                     Use a soap-free shampoo to bathe the dog.

·                     If the dog is seriously infected with ticks and fleas the vet might suggest a dip. Speak to the vet about it.

·                     If you have to medicate his ears, go about it the proper way by pulling back the ear flap to expose the inner side of the ear which has three major parts; the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Place the drops into the ear canal with a cotton swab. Don’t press too hard as you might rupture the ear drum. Don’t clean his ears until the infection has cleared up.

·                     Make sure his sleeping place is clean and comfortable. Wash the dog’s towels and blankets with an antiseptic solution and clean out the nook where he regularly relaxes. Spray the area and be particularly careful of corners in the house where it is easy for dust to collect.

In conclusion, your dog is part of your family and grooming is as much a part of his life as it is of yours. A dog gives unconditional love. In return he only wishes for a bowl of clean water, food, a place to curl up, and a pat on the head. Love your dog.

Planning your baby’s gender

There is nothing more fulfilling and exciting for a woman to have the baby she has always secretly longed for. But what about the couple who has three children already, all girls, and longs to have a boy? Is it wrong to want to choose and tinker with the reproduction process and engineer the gender of the child – irrespective of the harmlessness of the process? The question is enough to stir up debate and whether it is right or wrong only the couple can decide what is right for them. Some people will give anything to have a child, but cannot have one. Some adopt, and yet others have only one chance left to get it right.

HGH – Smaller to Taller?

Is it true that there is a hormone or hormones out there that can help you grow in height and become taller? If you are looking to increase your stature it might be worth your while to do some research on human growth hormone. According to Wikipedia, for an adult who is deficient in growth hormone (GH), GH replacement therapy can provide a number of benefits which would include having improved bone density, increased muscle mass, and a decrease of adipose tissue. They would also experience a strengthened immune system with an increased circulatory system, and improved lipid levels.

As far as dosage, for severe adult deficiency, growth hormone is usually prescribed as daily injections. Despite the potential benefits, however, most GH deficient adults are not being treated because they are not seeking medical care and don’t want to be injected. An article published in 2010 indicates that Growth hormone replacement unequivocally benefits growth, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors and quality of life. It has a strong anabolic effect that causes enlargement of the muscle cells by increased protein synthesis. HGH also causes an increase in the body’s utilization of body fat. Another benefit is that it strengthens connective tissue, cartilage and tendons. Not a lot is known about the effects of Human Growth Hormone on learning and memory. Consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking HGH to make sure it is safe for you to take.
