Feline De-clawing (a.k.a.- Onychectomy)
June 16, 2007
Every day across this country people make the wonderful decision to open their hearts to feline friends. These pets may have been discovered at shelters, rescue organizations, feral animals found wandering neighborhoods, and those animals given to them by friends, whose unaltered animals unfortunately reproduced.

For many they may be their only companions, for others they enrich our lives with a sense of mutual reliance for affection, attention, and appreciation of our talents.

Parasitism, and cystic disease are also problems we see in our feline friends. The animals most often seen with this disease are obese, middle to older, and female. Read the rest of this article…

Hyperadrenocorticism a.k.a. Cushing’s Disease
December 24, 2006
Cushing’s disease, or hyperadrenocorticism is a disorder caused by excessive production of cortisol by the adrenal cortex. Too much adrenal hormone, in particular corticosteroids are produced. Another form of the disease, Iatrogenic, is caused by excessive amount of glucocorticoid steroid drugs administered to the patient. Approximately 85-90% of the naturally occurring cases of this disease are due to bliateral adrenocortical hyperplasia resulting from pituitary corticotroph tumors or hyperplasia with oversecretion of ACTH. The remaining 10-15% cortisol-secreting adrenocortical neoplasia is present, and a half of these are malignant changes.
