PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUSTS, 1973 You And Your Pet By Raymond A. Minor, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories While a dog does not suffer from the common cold as we know it, he does get something quite similar -- an upper respiratory infection. Common symptoms of respiratory ailments are. a discharge from the nose and eyes, rise in temperature, shallow and rapid breathing, a dry or hacking cough, loss of vitality and appetite. Sneezing may accompany these conditions. Sneezing also may be caused by an allergy as well as an infection from a respiratory problem. A warning: A dog may have a dry, hot nose without being ill and a cold nose when ill. Do not use the nose as an indicator of an ailment. Before administering any medication, you should consult your veterinarian for correct diagnosis and instructions. He may prescribe oral medications that can relieve symptoms temporarily. Once the symptoms are under control, take your dog for a complete checkup. Dogs may suffer from chronic breathing difficulty. Asthma is one such ailment. It occurs more often in older dogs. Asthma is characterized by wheezing and a very dee{> seated cough. Breathing may be shallow, interrupted oc casionally by bouts of coughing. If your dog has an asthma attack, he should be comforted as much as possible. Fright may prolong the problem. Kind words and a soft tone of voice can reassure him. Pat him and speak to him gently. Allow the dog to sniff aromatic spirits of ammonia and rub his throat until the attack passes. Sometimes a sedative will help relax him. If there is mucus around his eyes, gently clear it away. The eyes and the nose can be wiped with a mild boric acid solution. Milk of magnesia (from one teaspoonful to one tablespoonful, according to the dog's size) can relieve some discomfort. Whatever medication you administer at home, it is best to check with your veterinarian before doing so. Be careful not to confuse an asthmatic cough with the cough that a dog gets when his master pulls on a lead with a choke collar. This dog may be merely clearing his throat or indicating some nervousness. Remember that severe respiratory disorders require professional treatment possibly from one of a wide range of antibiotics that can get good, effective results. It is best to consult your veterinarian at the first sign of respiratory problems. Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. Spending Ceilings Called Futile By Anderson Congressman John B. An derson (R. 111.) Thursday said Congressional efforts to set spending ceilings are "exer cises in futility" unless ac companied by enforceable spending priorities. In testimony prepared for the House Rules eonyfuitee, An derson called the $2&7.1 billion ceiling approved by the House last week a "surrender by the Congress of its Constitutional role" because it was "not based on a meaningful Congressional determination of spending priorities." President Nixon has threatened to veto the measure because it also bars him from impounding funds, requiring instead that any cuts deemed necessary be made on an across-the-board basis. Anderson, chairman of the House Republican conference, testified in favor of a bill submitted by the Joint Study Committee on Budget Control which would require yearly approval of spending ceilings before any appropriations bills could be passed. The third-ranking House Republican has offered legislation, similar to the committee proposal, which also would establish subceilings in general budget categories. Daily Vacation Bible School Is Scheduled Final preparations regarding a daily Vacation Bible school are now under way at the Chain O' Lakes Evangelical Covenant church. 4815 N. Wilmot road, McHenry. The program for kin dergarteners through eighth grade has been slated for Aug. 13 through the 17 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. All children in the com munity are welcome to attend. Students will be registered Aug. 13, the first day of the one week session. There will be no registration fee. The text of the Christian material, taken from the Bible, will be "God's Promises". A team of Christian teachers plan to help students better un derstand God's revelation of Jesus through the Bible. Group singing, class presentations, arts and craft, along with refreshments, will be a part of each day's session. Anderson noted that an anti- impoundment feature in his bill was no longer applicable, in light of last week's House ac tion. But, he warned, "it may become very relevant at a future date if the impoundment bill is vetoed." The study committee bill calls for creation of a new House budget committee with one-third of the members appointed from the Ap propriations and Ways and Means committees, one-third from the legislative com mittees and one-third ap pointed by the Speaker. A pot-luck picnic has also been planned to climax the eventful week. Those serving on the staff are Pastor Wesley Olson, Joyce Olson, Darlene Considine, Barbara Wernquist, Sandra Stoner, Sandra Gelwicks, Shirley Hedman, Dorothy Machnik, N Arlene Crittenden, Corrine Olson, Janet Cluff, Virginia Bianchi, Sharon Larson, Scott Crittenden, Eola Deppmeier and Warren Hintz.
