WHAT’S NEW ABOUTANIMAL HEALTH?By Bill Suro, VMD

At the MaxFund Wellness Clinic the new thing isultrasound. The new thing allows us to look atalmost everything that you can’t see on x-ray,taking a lot of guesswork out of the diagnosis in difficultmedical cases. We use it all the time now at the clinic.

You already know about our wonderful results with ultra-sound therapy. You may not know that we also use coldlaser for the same results, depending on the animal’s sizeand the size of the area being treated. The big advantage isthat the cold laser machines can be leased or sold to youfor treatment at home. We first became interested in thewhole laser field by talking to the head man of an organizationnamed, National Association of Pet Parents, who asked toremain anonymous. Simcha’s Best Jew donated anothercold laser to the MaxFund, for which we are very grateful.

In the area of general pet wellness in the Denver area, thereare some new developments. The first fact you may haveseen in the news: there have been three skunks with rabiesfound in the Denver area, one in Arvada and two inAurora. We care about this because a rabid skunk may bitea human or a pet, and rabies is a very scary disease. We areeven more interested because the new vector is the skunk.Douglas County Health Department has never found arabid skunk until now. Skunks are nocturnal and representa different challenge. They are also different becauseskunks often have a long latent period after being bittenbefore the symptoms. This unpredictability is why theymade it illegal to have them as pets. Keep your petsup-to-date on rabies vaccinations.

The other problem relates to our wet spring. The Denverarea never used to have a problem with heartworm disease in dogs and cats with our high and dry climatebecause it is spread by mosquitoes. You used to have a

ready supply of infected dogs and mosquitoes for nativedogs to get infected. With the influx of people movingto Denver from Texas and other southern states we nowhave a real problem with heartworm here; they broughttheir heavily infected dogs with them. If we get the predicted boom in mosquito numbers this year wemight get a big increase in the number of Denver dogsdevelop heartworm disease. That is bad enough in itself,but a big increase in the number of untreated cases thisyear will increase the reservoir of infected dogs in thecommunity. Talk to the clinic, or whoever is your vet,about prevention.

At the MaxFund WellnessClinic the new thing isultrasound.

FROM THE WORLD OF GUSBy Gus Suro

Weird, man. What’s with Denver weather this year?We had beautiful spring weather while it was supposedto be winter, and repeated snowstorms when it wassupposed to be beautiful spring. Now it is rainingevery day as if we live in Seattle. Go figure!

The news around the home is OK so far as I am concerned, but Bandit is in trouble for repeatedlybreaking into Dad’s garden and digging. Dad hasreplanted and is watching him like a hawk, and hasreinforced the garden fence and gate.

A more serious problem, I am told, is that Mom’sfavorite kitty, Daphne, got a big belly. Dad took herin to the MaxFund Clinic and the lab tests, x-rays,and ultrasound show that the belly is full of fluid. I’mquoting now from talk between Mom and Dadbecause I don’t know about these things. Daphne hasa very bad disease called FIP although she doesn’tfeel sick. Don’t ask me how the disease is so bad thatit makes Mom cry, and still Daphne feels OK Fornow, anyway, she can live at home normally.

Dad acts normal (for him) and he’s supposed to go tothe two-legger hospital and get an operation. Maybeour family is just weird. You think?

So much I don’t understand!

Yeah! It is finally my turn.

The garage is finally done; at least that is what they are telling us. As I am the explorer of all large spaces, I wasthe first one in the garage. Mom said it was going to be great! Well that is a matter of opinion. They took everything outof it so all the neat places to climb and hide are gone. There are just some large shelves with big black boxes onthem. Sad Kitties.

Since I am writing this month I get to tell stories about Snoopy. Mom keeps saying he is like a dog but that nevermade sense to me because he is a CAT. So the other evening I was curled up in my chair and Mom calls him.Snoopy heads for the living room and just before he gets within arm’s length of her he does a ski slope just like adog. You know, front legs together and down and does a big stretch with his butt up in the air. I guess I neverpaid any attention to him doing this, because I am sure he has done it a million times, but now I understand whatshe was talking about. Dogs do this all the time. How did I not remember this as it makes him even more strange than Ithought? Acting like a dog is just plain strange for a cat. It makes me wonder where all his dignity has gone.

The second story is really funny. We both know that the time for camping is getting very close. He got all excitedwhen the RV cover came off, but the RV just sat in the back yard. Snoopy keeps rushing the back door whenMom or Big D heads that way. The other day the RV left and Snoopy was still here. We were both confused butSnoopy was really upset. The next day they brought it back home and Snoopy’s disposition improved greatly. Itseems they are not done putting things inside and he is stalking them to be sure he is one of those items to go inside.

Guess that is all for now.Your Cat Reporter, Gizmo

Hi MaxFund,

My name is Buttons. It is my 3rdbirthday this month. I am not fromMaxFund, but my friend Lucky is.He is the happy grey/white fellow inthe picture. Lucky told me goodthings about MaxFund, so I amsending you a donation so you cankeep helping dogs like us.

Lucky & Buttons

Dear MaxFund,

I’ve been meaning to write this letterfor months! Enclosed is a photo ofour adopted pets, Sassy & Chloe(formerly, Cloud).

We adopted Sassy in February 2014.Sassy, we were told was a stray livingnear a mall in Denver. The poorlittle thing was so skinny and matterupon arriving at MaxFund, the matting literally caused bruisingaround her neck! As you can see in

the photo, Sassy is fully recovered, ishealthy and receives daily walks andmuch playtime with her sister, Chloe.

Sassy is the most loving puppy andwonderful addition to our family.

Thinking that Sassy needed compan-ionship, we adopted Chloe in April2015. You may recall that the persondropping Chloe off at MaxFunddescribed her as being “anti-social”.This could not be further from thetruth! Chloe adores her humans andis very quick to ask for attention andtummy rubs! Chloe is just the sweetestthing and wants nothing more than love.Of which, we’re happy to provide lots of!

Our girls enjoy playtime in their yard,walks, cuddles, their numerous puppybeds, blankets, toys, cute little sweatersand jackets, you name it! We feel it isour job to provide them the best lifepossible as they’ve already beenthrough so much.

We are truly thankful for the servicesthat you provide lost and stray dogsand cats at your facility. Thank you,

MaxFund for taking such good careof these furry four-leggeds!

Regards,Mike & Erin Devitt adoring pet-parents of Sassy & Chloe

Dear MaxFund,

Purrs from one of your favorite kitties…It’s me, Maxie! I was only 4 or 5 months old when I left theMaxfund but I still have fond mem-ories of all the nice staff and volun-teers. I especially remember howpatient you all were when I turnedover the water dish in my kittycondo several times a day. I hate toadmit this but I still find doing thatquite entertaining…much to the displeasure of my human family.

As is my annual custom during mybirthday month, I am enclosing acheck for the MaxFund so you canbuy kitty treats for all the kittens andadult cats that are looking for theirforever homes. I can’t believe I am 9years old…it just seems like yesterdaythat I bid you all farewell. I sometimesam called a spoiled diva which isfine with me. I think all kittiesshould be spoiled divas, don’t you?

Purrs to everyone!Carol Johnson for Maxie Faye
