  1. Coroner: Hand-washing is the 'in' thing to do

    My wife showed me an advertisement recently that she thought might be a great reminder for people that relates to personal health and well-being. I couldn’t agree more and decided to pass it along through this column. After all, anything that might contribute to keeping each of us and our families healthy is vitally important to all of us. The ad is a picture of a hand with no fewer than 12 little germ cartoons holding on to the fingers and palm of the hand. Each germ has its own name and it tells what it will do to you if it gets into your body. As cute as these germs are in cartoon form, the message is just how easy it is to become infected in everyday activity by the things we touch, and how much damage these little germs can account for. The most important part of the message, though, is that they all can be prevented for the most part by the simple action of washing our hands. Frequent hand-washing is the key, with emphasis placed on doing so after using the bathroom and just before eating.

  4. Cataracts are common cause of blindness in dogs

    Nearly every day I have a client say &ldquo;Doc, I think my dog has cataracts.&rdquo; The reason for such a common statement in veterinary practices is the fact that older dogs will begin to develop cloudy eyes. However, most of the time, the cloudy eyes are not cataracts. Nuclear sclerosis is the normal aging process in which the lens inside&nbsp; the eye becomes somewhat cloudy. This condition is responsible for many dog owners believing their dogs have cataracts.
