PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1979 YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Special Diets For Sick Cats There is probably no com­ panion animal today with a wider variety of prepared food at its disposal than the cat. Cans and packages of moist, dry, single ingredient and combination style pet foods line the shelves of the supermarket. Theoretically, these should fill the nutritional needs and food preferences of any fickle feline. However, these needs and preferences change when the cpt becomes ill, and a special diet can often help combat the effects of a disease. In managing a disease through diet control, the cat owner should try to provide enough ntatrients for good health while reducing strain on the weakened portion of the cat's body. Certain conditions, such as bladder or heart disease, may require that the pet eat a modified diet for the rest of its life. Other problems such as occasional diarrhea or vomiting need a special diet for a short time. Your veterinarian can explain in detail why your cut's eating habits should change during illness. Diarrhea is often a sign of a major intestirtaK disorder in ptts. Even after the cause of the disease is removed, the ifritated portion of the digestive tract may take some time to heal. Foods high in protein, low in fat and con­ taining little fiber are ap­ propriate, like lean beef or poultry, small quantities of milk or bland cheese, even a good quality single ingredient cat food. Only small amounts of food and water should be fed for the first few days of con­ valescence. A surprising number of cats have food allergies, which cause rashes, scabbiness and other skin eruptions. Fish, certain meats and cereal products are the most common causes. Generally, the cat needs a very bland diet- perhaps only cooked rice and a single type of meat-until the source of the allergy is iden­ tified. A bland diet usually includes a good vitamin and mineral supplement. Heart disease is occasionally seen in older cAts. Excess fluid around the heart and in the legs forces the heart to work harder and faster. Immediate relief comes from the use of veterinary prescription drugs followed by a salt-free diet. Lean beef, chicken, egg yolks, oatmeal and rice are ac­ ceptable foods; processed meats, organ meat, cereals and bread should be avoided. Cats love to nibble at their food, eating several times a day. Pets on special diets benefit by repeated feedings throughout the day as com­ pared to once-a-day feedings. Moist, soft cat food tends to dry out and become less palatable. Some diet modifications are known to help the male cat which concentrates mineral deposits in the urethra (the channel draining the urinary bladder). If your veterinarian diagnoses this as a problem, you may be directed to stop feeding the cat foods containing whole fish or ground bone. The magnesium and phosphorus in these foods contribute to the sandy deposits which block the flow of urine. Second, because highly concentrated urine promotes stone formation, increase the cat's water con­ sumption. Your veterinarian y wish to add salt to your cat's diet to promote thirst. Third, if your cat will accept the change, you may be directed to switch to a moist canned food, as these contain much more water than the dry or semi-moist varieties. Your veterinarian may suggest vitamin A and B-complex supplements also. Each of these diets gives the County Acts In Storm Losses Richard 0. Klemm, chair­ man of McHenry County board, has requested the Emergency Services & Disaster Agency (MCESDA) to take the necessary steps and request help for the business com­ munity and private sector so that they can obtain assistance for the financial loss they suffered during the recent snow storm. Klemm stated that the state ESDA will prepare the in­ formation for submission to the governor, who will request the Small Business Administration (SBA) to make a declaration. This SBA declaration will make available low interest, long term loans. The current rate for SBA loans of this type is currently 7-% percent, ac­ cording to Klemm. Klemm took these steps when MCESDA advised him that they have been compiling in­ formation on the storm damage. As of Jan. 23, this damage amounted to over $1,500,000. These figures in­ cluded some private homes, but the majority was to business and places where roofs collapsed and structural damage was most heavy. The chairman stated that the county has recovered quite well from the over 20 inches of snow which fell Jan. 13 and 14. He said he was gratified that McHenry county was declared a disaster area by the President, and congratulated all the departments of county government who responded during this emergency. "Their dedication was out­ standing and I'm certain that this was the reason that major problems were kept to an ab­ solute minimum," Klemm said. Klemm said he woula ask Ross Kitchen, chairman of the Public Safety Committee of the County board, to have his committee look into having the effective date of this declaration made retroactive to Jan. 13, the date the snow began. The majority of the cities, townships, school districts and'other taxing bodies have expended all their funds that were budgeted for snow removal and need these extra funds. Sheriff Seeks Reserve Force Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell an­ nounced that the next Auxiliary Deputy course will begin Thursday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m. This is a 150-hour training course that is required for those men and women over the age of 21 who would like to volunteer their services to his depart­ ment. The Auxiliary Deputy program was begun in 1975 when the sheriff found a need for a reserve force of deputies that would be trained and available to assist in major emergencies and disasters. The McHenry County board passed the required legislation and the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (MCESDA) was given the direct responsibility for organizing and administering the program. The auxiliary deputy at graduation is sworn in, taking the oath of office, having the same legal powers as the sheriff himself. At the outset, the auxiliary deputy volunteer was used for traffic control and, security at the many not-for- profit and public gatherings in McHenry county. This con­ tinues to be his primary duties. These deputies also ride with regular deputies in county squads. The program has been most successful, according to the sheriff, and within the past year he has allowed those auxiliary deputies who have acquired the proficiency, to drive a squad on county patrol. It takes a minimum of one year before the volunteer is allowed this privilege and then only if he has met the strict requirements. - Sheriff Tyrrell said these men and women are not replacing any of his regular force. Instead, they are augmenting them. "We are putting an extra set of eyes and hands on the street to give additional protection to our citizens", according to sheriff. He also said how pleased he is-with the program. He noted during the Facts & Fancies To color glass, various metal compounds are added to the melted sand mixture during the glass manufactur­ ing process. For blue, cupric (copper) oxide is added. Green is derived from chro­ mium or iron compounds. Red comes from selenium, cuprous oxide or gold. 01 LETIZIA FINANCIAL CORP.

Don't be shy about talking . with your veterinarian about your con­ valescing pet's needs. The better you understand the purpose and need for a special diet, the better you can help your cat. Dr. Stear /egrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems.
