Ear mites in dogs and cats

Ear mites in cats--symptoms include scratching at ears, shaking head.  Ear mites will go from one cat to another if cats are in close contact.  Ear mites will go into dogs ears if the dog sleeps with cats that have ear mites.  Ear mites are creepy crawlies that scratch the inside of the ears until they bleed.  If you look inside your cat's ears, you will see black crusts.  That is the dried blood.
Ear mites are treatable.

Parvovirus in dogs

Parvovirus in dogs is a serious virus that can cause death to your dog--usually a puppy.  The younger the pup, the higher the mortality rate.  This virus does damage to the small intestines.
Symptoms that are common is sudden lethargy.  Your puppy is not interested in playing at all.  The other symptoms that are common are vomiting and/or diarrhea.  The diarrhea is very foul-smelling and may contain blood.  You should contact a veterinarian immediately. 
There is a vaccine for this virus.  
Make sure that your pup is vaccinated before you take him to where there are other dogs. 

The tip of the iceberg for slowing the aging process in our bodies.

Have you heard about the latest technology and discovery?  The genes that regulate the aging of our muscles, brain and heart have been identified.  And then what to do with this find--well you get scientists heads together and you create a natural product to influence those genes so the tissues age slower.  The result is more energy for the day, more muscle stamina and better memory.  This is only the tip of the iceberg in product development.
