WAYS TO REDUCE COST OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR DOGS. http://www.proffessor-mayowa.blogspot.com
Owning a dog is the equivalent to having a child and he deserves the absolute best in veterinarian health care that you can provide. If you want to ensure that you and your beloved pet will have years of good times together then it is imperative that you provide your dog with the necessary annual checkups, vaccinations, and any other medical care that may arise in order to protect his health.
But I can tell you from firsthand experience that providing health care for your dog can be quite expensive, especially if there are health problems or injuries that arise. In today's article you will find a few money-saving tips that will keep you from breaking the bank account so that your dog can remain healthy.
1. There are some states in the US where rabies are more prevalent than in other areas. And because of this situation, the law may require you to get annual rabies shots done on your dog. In order to help save on the cost of these annual shots, you may have local shelters or other animal organizations that offer rabies shots at a significant savings. The costs associated by local shelter services can be dramatically lower than what the veterinarian would charge.
2. Low-cost rabies shots are not the only services that some local shelters offer at a reduced cost. In fact, there are some shelters that have in-house veterinarian care. These are known as “shelter clinics” that are open to the public and is designed to help reduce the cost of animal health care. These services can range from vaccination needs to emergency care needed in case your dog gets injured. Please contact your local shelter for more information.
3. If you own more than one dog like I do, then you may be lucky to find a veterinarian in your local area that offers discounts for multiple dog owners. It took me about five different locations in order to find a veterinarian that offered such a discount, but it was worth it and have saved me hundreds of dollars in health care costs for my pets. Don't be shy to ask your veterinarian for this possibility because many do not advertise it publicly but are happy to provide a multi-pet discount.
4. Last but not least, it is always best to spay or neuter your dog. It is a known fact that many dogs who are not spayed or neutered will cause unwanted births which lead to increased chances of injury to other puppies. As far as your personal health care costs are concerned, dogs that are in heat tend to get into very inappropriate situations that are associated with a dog's reproductive cycle. Getting your dog fixed may also prevent certain type of cancers. For these reasons alone your veterinarian costs will be minimized greatly.

some english guys set ablaze
the english people (http://www.mistermayowa.blogspot.com)
English people never bother to learn foreign languages because they know that foreigners all have to learn english.the british people are so peace-loving that they have devoted the last thousand years to knocking the hell out of people who dont like peace.English parliaments always have to parties; the one in power and the opposition.Nationals vote one party in to power and then the other is elected to set right the mess created by the first party. this is known as perpetual motion and takes place about twice a decade.England is a country surrounded by hot water.It"s only a small island, but the british once had an empire on which the sun never sets and England has people upon which the sun never shines.
Englishmen are known by their bowler hats,tweed suits,umbrellas and moustaches. the women are different----they dont wear bowler hats.English food is wonderfully simple;we write all our menus in french and cook everything in water.
There are nearly sixty million English people, with eighty million civil servants to take care of them. civil servants in England are recognised by there breast pocket full of pens,pencils and teacups. Rain is one of the principal products of england. its the only country in the world where the dew has rapids. Smokers and drinkers bring thre treasury $1,000,000,000 per year.So if every one stop boozing and smoking, then the government will have to look for some other kind of job. English people are the most law abiding people on earth. juvenile delinquency is practically unknown over the age of forty- five. Although places in Britain are rarely less than a few miles by car on the highways. Traffic is is so thick that if you once leave town to live else where you virtually emigrate. Because it takes between a week and ten days to do forty miles by car. If all the cars in Britain where laid end to end---preferably in a scrap yard---there will be enough to feed half the population of China for the next ten years.if only chinese people didnt detest tomato soup.
Englishmen are notorious lovers;it only takes the average man ten years to ask the woman he loves for a kiss. sometimes he proposes to a girl in maybe a year and a half--but not marriage.Englishwomen are mainly the horsey type,
spartans and outdoor amazons. So englishmen go out with foreign beauty contest winners and the horsey Englishwomen go out with themselves.

how to prevent tooth ache
HOW TO PERMANENTLY PREVENT TOOTHACHE
by Mayowa Olufemi Alabi http://www.leaders-mayor.blogspot.com
Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
Gum disease could give you one of the most excruciating pains you ever experienced in life. However, you can easily avoid it or get it cured (if you already have it) by carefully reading and adhering to the simple tips highlighted below.
Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins when the bacteria in plaque (the sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth) causes the gums to become inflamed.
FORMS
Gingivitis
This is the mildest form of periodontal disease. It causes the gums to become red, swollen, and bleed easily. There is usually little or no ache at this stage. Gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment and good at home oral care.
Aggressive Periodontitis.
A form of periodontitis that occurs in patients who are otherwise clinically healthy. Common features include rapid attachment loss and bone destruction and familial aggregation.
Chronic Periodontitis
A form of periodontal disease resulting in swelling within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive attachment and bone loss and is associated with pocket formation and/or recession of the gingiva. It is recognized as the most frequently occurring form of periodontitis. It is rampant in adults, but can occur at any age. Progression of attachment loss usually occurs slowly, but periods of rapid progression can occur.
CAUSES:
SMOKING:
Apart from other diseases to which tobacco users are exposed, they are susceptible to chronic and perpetual periodontal infections. In fact, recent studies have shown that tobacco use may be one of the most significant risk factors in the development and progression of periodontal disease.
Genetics
According to a press release, parents may pass periodontal infections to their offspring. “Periodontal (gum) disease may be passed from parents to children and between couples. Researchers discovered bacteria that cause periodontal disease pass though saliva. This means that the common contact of saliva in families puts children and couples at risk for contracting the periodontal disease of another family member.
Pregnancy and Puberty
As a woman, at puberty or menopause, and times when you have special health needs, such as menstruation or pregnancy, your body experiences hormonal changes. These changes can affect many of the tissues in your body, including your gums. Your gums can become sensitive, and at times react strongly to the hormonal fluctuations. This may make you more susceptible to gum disease. Additionally, recent studies suggest that pregnant women with gum disease are seven times more likely to deliver premature, low birth weight babies
Stress
It is pertinent to point out here that (since you may not know this) that stress also is a risk factor for periodontal disease. Research demonstrates that stress can make it more difficult for the body to fight off infection, including periodontal diseases.
TREAMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE
The goal of periodontal treatment is to control any infection that exists and to stop development and spread of the disease. Treatment options involve home care that includes healthy eating and proper brushing and flossing. Non-surgical therapy that controls the growth of harmful bacteria and, in more advanced cases of disease, surgery to restore supportive tissues may be adequate.
Antibiotic treatments can be used either in combination with surgery and other therapies, or alone, to reduce or temporarily eliminate the bacteria associated with periodontal disease.
However, doctors, dentists and public health officials are becoming more concerned that overuse of these antibiotics can increase the risk of bacterial resistance to these drugs. When germs become resistant to antibiotics, the drugs lose the ability to fight infection.
If you're diagnosed with periodontal disease, your periodontist may recommend periodontal surgery. Periodontal surgery is necessary when your periodontist determines that the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment. Following are the four types of surgical treatments most commonly prescribed:
• Pocket Reduction Procedures
• Regenerative Procedures
• Crown Lengthening
• Soft Tissue Grafts
If you've already lost a tooth to periodontal disease, you may be interested in dental implants – the permanent tooth replacement option.
WARNING SIGNALS
These are warning signals indicating that you have the symptoms of periodontal disease.
§ Having pain in your mouth.
§ Bleeding when you brush your teeth or when you eat hard food.
§ Having spaces developing between your teeth.
§ Swollen, reddish tender gums.
§ Having your gums receding (pulling back from your teeth) or your teeth appear longer than before.
§ Having persistent bad breath.
§ Having pus between your teeth and gums.
§ Developing sores in your mouth
§ Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
§ Loose or shifting teeth
§ Changes in the way teeth fit together on biting, or in the fit of partial dentures
