What is anemia? It is a serious condition caused by red blood cell loss. Lack of iron in the diet is usually the culprit. However with animals David Montgomery Bears Jersey , anemia is usually caused by parasitic worms or fleas that feed on blood and tissues. On occasion, it can also be caused by a toxicity from exposure to certain drugs.
Find The Cause First
Is it possible that your dog has anemia? Symptoms to watch for are pale or white gums, signs of weakness and a fast pulse.
The first step in reversing this condition is to remove the cause. If your dog has fleas or intestinal parasites, start on a program to rid your pet of these pests as soon as possible.
Is your dog on any medications? Just like people Akiem Hicks Bears Jersey , certain drugs can cause side-effects, such as anemia. If you suspect that this may be the cause of your dog's anemia, you will need to consult your veterinarian about switching your pet to a new medication.
Treatment For Canine Anemia
The good news is that anemia is a condition that can easily be treated by providing your dog with a diet rich in iron, protein and vitamin B12. Here are some especially iron-rich foods and supplements that should boost the growth of his red blood cells:
1. Beef liver is rich in iron Tarik Cohen Bears Jersey , protein, B complex, and B12. It's one of the best ways of supplementing your pet's diet with iron.
2. Kelp powder is another good choice to add to your dog's food, as it contains iodine and other trace minerals.
3. Dark green vegetables contain a good source of iron as well. Just be careful about feeding too much gassy vegetables such as broccoli.
4. Vitamin B12 along with nutritional yeast can offer many of the same benefits as liver Mitchell Trubisky Bears Jersey , although a natural food source is always a better pick. However, if you just can't stand the thought of cutting up liver chunks for your pet, this is a good alternative.
5. Providing Vitamin C (between 500 mgs to 2000 mgs per day, depending on your dog's size) along with 200 mg to 400 mg of Vitamin E helps with the absorption of iron within the intestinal tract. This combination is also a very good antioxidant. Give one Vitamin E a day Anthony Miller Bears Jersey , but divide up the dosage of Vitamin C to 3 times a day. Vitamin C is water soluble which means that it is quickly absorbed by the body. It needs to be replenished throughout the day to be most effective.
Be sure to check with your veterinarian if you believe your pooch has the signs of anemia. Get proper blood tests done to rule out any other possible problems or causes as well. Following the above dietary recommendations should help get your dog back to replenishing and increasing his or her red blood cells once more.
What are your goals for this season?
In another week the boys of summer will be back in action for another season of Major League Baseball. During the start of each sports season I like to evaluate how things went the previous season, and set my goals for the upcoming season. Regardless if you are a professional handicappergambler or just a casual bettor it is important to take some time to evaluate past performances and set realistic goals.
In sports betting the goal is to make money, period. So the first question that you should ask yourself is how much money would you like to make this baseball season? From that number you can then determine how much of a bankroll you should start with for the season, how many games you will need to bet on Roquan Smith Bears Jersey , and how many of those games you will need to win. To better explain this I will outline a simple baseball bettors 聯business plan?
A. How much money do you want to make?
Let us say that your income goal for the MLB season in 2005 is $300 per month, or approximately $1500 profit for the season. (I will use a 5 month example of May, June, July Khalil Mack Bears Jersey , August, and September for this.)
B. How much money do I have to set aside for baseball wagering?
You have a $3000 bankroll ready to use for your baseball wagering. Based on what we will discuss below your monthly income goal should be about 10% of your bankroll.
C. How much do I need to bet on each game based on my bankroll?
This is a risk vs. reward situation. The higher the percentage of your bankroll that you wager on for any one game, the higher your odds of going bankrupt. I have found good success with betting 2% of your bankroll, and potentially increasing that to 5% for higher rated plays such as Walter Payton Bears Jersey , 聯Games of the year or month, etc.?
In this situation based on a $3000 bankroll, your 2% bets would be $60 per bet. You would have to go 0-50 before you would lose your bankroll. This type of conservative strategy is safe and important in grinding out long term profits.
D. How many games do I need to win per month to reach my monthly goal?
