CT scanner peers into wildlife at Berlin research institute
Posted on July, 19 at 3:58 pm
Hello,
Berlin – A computed tomography (CT) scanner allows scientists and veterinarians to look inside animals without cutting them open. It is also hoped that the device will replace “gut decisions” on whether to euthanize animals that are diseased or injured.
The Berlin zoo’s leopard Ninja was 24, a ripe old age for a big cat, when he departed for the happy hunting ground. For scientists, however, he has become immortal.

Painless options
Posted on July, 14 at 5:18 am
Hello,
A look at alternatives to animal-testing.
WE are often led to believe that the only way to make sure any product is safe for human use is to test it on animals first. The pain, suffering and death of these animals are but a price that has to be paid.
We are told that dogs, for instance, have similar cardiovascular and respiratory systems to humans. Cats’ neurological systems are apparently very much like that of man’s. And non-human primates are the closest relatives to Homo sapiens.

Parvovirus
Posted on April, 30 at 7:31 am
Hello,
We hav’nt covered Parvo before. My Small Paws newsletter tells me about a baby Bichon who could well have the desease. You have to scrub and scrub again then wait some months before allowing another dog into your home should you have had a dog with Parvo. I had a puppy die with the desease and was advised to wait…we waited the six months then got our new pet which was a Border-Collie who lived 16 years so its worth while waiting.

Hungarian Pulis

Some call it the Hungarian Waterdog,
It reminds me of how the Bichon the coat corkscrews when wet. The image when I found it was unrecognisable as a dog under that coat. 
Is the following image yours, please let me know because I have no idea where it came from (could be Google) or Wikipedia.
