http://www.animaleyecare.com/  Animals suffer from eye problems that are similar to those which affect humans. These problems include cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, corneal ulceration, tumors of the eye, eyelid defects, inflammation of the eye and surrounding tissues, retinal degeneration, and many others. Veterinary ophthalmologists can provide animals with much of the medical and surgical eye care that is available for humans. Due to rapid advances in the knowledge, techniques, and equipment necessary to provide specialty eye care to veterinary patients, your primary care veterinarian may choose to consult a specialist for eye problems that are unusual or for those that have not responded to initial therapy. If your pet has an eye problem, referral may help. The veterinary ophthalmologist may be able to preserve or restore vision, treat a painful eye, or diagnose a troubling ophthalmic condition. 1612 Washington Boulevard, Fremont, California

MRSA -The Bella Moss Foundation

MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), sometimes referred to in the media as the SUPERBUG. It affects both humans and animals.  MRSA is a bacterium that, under normal conditions, is relatively harmless. Infection usually occurs through a wound of some kind, either because of a skin ulcer that will not heal or through surgery. Infection is different from colonisation because the invading bacteria tend to grow more rapidly and cause ill-effects to the body. These come because of the toxins that the bacteria now pour into the blood, and through the damage that occurs to the surrounding tissue. This causes the symptoms and signs of infection, and need to be treated rapidly. For a comprehensive overview of MARSA and well as a guide to veterinary prevention methods please see The Bella Moss Foundation Website.

Kyler Laird's animal rescue resources - Kyler Laird has put together a huge rescue resource that lists over 2000 animal rescue agencies. Pure bred dogs rescues, cats, Avian,  ferrets, reptiles, rats and pot bellied pigs rescues can all be found here. If you are looking for a companion pet or if you are unable to keep your pet for reasons beyond your control - please look at this website. There are many dedicated, caring people only a link away. They can help you make decisions and find a place for a pet that you are not able to keep so that pet does not end up in tragic circumstances.

They can also help you find that loving companion you seek . There are many wonderful pets waiting in rescues, in shelters to be adopted to good homes. Some were abused, some casually abandoned, some beloved pets who have lost their human friends to death and nursing homes. You don't need to adopt a puppy to develop a loving relationship with an animal. In some cases its love at first sight, it seldom takes long to reach even the most broken of hearts. It just takes love and kindness. Consider rescues and shelters. We as a society throw away hundreds of thousands of pets a year. We can help.

 
 

Internet Lost and Found  -If you have lost a pet you might try placing an ad here or scanning the found listing.

- give rescue groups a listing where they can ask for volunteers or donations;
- be an educational site where the public can learn about cat rescue and hopefully raise its profile - as well as increasing donations, volunteers and adoptions - and also be a general educational site about cats.

Vera Kalbol will also create web pages or small sites for Canadian cat rescue groups that don't have web presence (at least until such time as she is overwhelmed with requests, if it happens). Everything is free of charge.

Other Interesting Links

Hoax Busters - Want to find out if the e-mail you got about free money, children in trouble, or company give-away is for real? Most all of these messages are hoaxes or chain letters. While hoaxes do not automatically infect systems like a virus or Trojan, they are still time consuming and costly to remove from all the systems where they exist. The people at CIAC,  spend much more time de-bunking hoaxes than handling real virus and Trojan incidents. Their website describes some of the warnings, offers, and pleas for help that are filling your mailboxes, clogging your mail servers, and that generally do not have any basis in fact. Look here before you send that e-mail on to someone else.

Hoax Warnings - Different category. These are virus and Trojan horse related hoax warnings. Don't spread them. Seems like a good idea to pass this information on to a friend, but its not.
