NIGHT EQUATIONS THE DIABETIC DOG • An obvious change in your dog's daily routine often signals a developing medical problem. Some of these problems are easily corrected; others take more time and professional at­ tention. One of the more serious danger signals is an in­ crease in your pet's water intake, accompanied by a corresponding increase in urination. This may be a sign of diabetes mellitus or kidney failure. Dr. John Kramer, a professor al Washington State university's College of Veterinary Medicine, estimates that diabetes mellitus affects about 1 out By Robert L Steor DV.M Monoger of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories of every 800 dogs examined by veterinarians. The disease is not limited to aging pets. Young males and obese older females are susceptible. A diabetic dog cannot produce enough insulin to efficiently regulate the amount of sugar in its blood. As a result, the excess sugar must be eliminated in the urine. To do this, the dog urinates more frequently, and must drink additional water to replace the larger amounts being excreted. If the diabetes is not treated, the dog will begin to lose weight, even though it appears to have an adequate diet.

In most cases, the cause of canine diabetes is never clearly identified. Research has shown that a few dogs inherit a tendency toward diabetes because they are born with loo few insulin- producing cells, but these animals are in the minority. We also know that in­ flammation of the pancreas, the organ that contains the insulin-secreting cells, may create a temporary form of diabetes, that subsides when the inflammation is con­ trolled. If your veterinarian diagnoses your dog as diabetic, the disease can be controlled. A major step is to reduce the dog's weight if it is loo heavy, and regulate the amount of exercise the pet receives. The veterinarian will also determine the amount of insulin the pet must receive. Because insulin is not available in tablet form, the dog owner must learn to administer insulin to his or her pet by injection. The technique of giving an in­ jection is not as difficult as gathering up the courage to do the job. Your veterinarian will teach you the technique, as well as bolster your courage. You will learn that the amount of insulin your pet needs is directly related to its weight. For this reason, diabetic pets receive carefully regulated amounts of food, and between meal snacks are out. Another factor that affects insulin use is the female dog's heat cycle. The hor­ monal changes that occur during heat make the dog's insulin requirements fluc­ tuate widely. To avoid the I. y», i Slower weed GREEN PLANTS 1/2 PRICE In 6 pots and up.

Funds For ALS Clinic McHenry Beta Sigma Phi sorority members are shown presenting checks to officers of the Illinois chapter of the ALS Foundation. From left are Dorothy Haddick, representing the McHenry chapters of the sorority; Lois Veit of Glenview, 1980-81 Illinois chapter presldeat of the Foundation; Bed Rudner, Glenview, its immediate past president; and Virge Stasiak, representing the executive coordinating council of McHenry and Crystal Lake chapters of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD A clinic designed to treat one of the world's most mysterious killer diseases will open next month at the University of Chicago. The Illinois chapter of the National ALS Foundation, Inc., has announced the opening of an ALS center at Tilings hospital starting Sept. 1. This center was approved by the board of directors of the National ALS Foundation, Inc., in June, 1980. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (A.L.S.) or Lou Gehrig's disease as it became known after it killed the famed baseball player in 1941, is a disease that causes deterioration of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain that govern the body's motor functions. The cause of the disease remains unclear, and there is no known cure for it. Victims may live two or three years from the time of diagnosis or they may live up to 10 or 15 years. Beyond that, scientists can only speculate about ALS. There are some places in the world, such as Guam, for instance where incidence of ALS is 100 times greater than elsewhere, and active people, such as professional athletes, seem to be somewhat more susceptible to ALS than others. Industrial workers who are exposed to heavy metals also seem to contract ALS more rapidly than others. At one time, ALS was thought to be a rare disor­ der. Doctors now think, "however, that it strikes more new victims each year than does multiple sclerosis, a nerve disorder that is almost never fatal. Early symptoms of ALS include a feeling of weakness and a wasting away of the muscles of the hands and feet. As the disease progresses, the use of arms and legs may become severely hampered. Eventually, the tongue becomes too weak to move food and swallowing becomes impossible. Despite the extreme loss of motor functions, victims suffer no loss of mental faculties duriiig the course of the affliction. The clinic at the University of Chicago is the second center of its kind in the world, patterned after the model treatment center at New York's Mt. Sinai Medical center. It will be funded by the National ALS fund. Dr. Jack Antel, a University of Chicago neurologist, will direct the new center. According to Antel, several hundred ALS patients live in the Chicago area. "We've seen several hundred ALS patients here already, but establishing the clinic will formalize our role as a treatment center", said Dr. Antel. The McHenry area Beta Sigma Phi sorority members are especially proud to be a financial stepping stone in the formation of this mid­ west patient care and research center, which will provide medical care, social workers, and psychologists to ALS patients and their families. Through the combined efforts of the McHenry chapters, Pi Alpha and Xi Epsilon Omicron on a Fall tag day and an Easter jelly­ bean sale, along with the Valentine dance of the McHenry-Crystal Lake Executive Coordinating council, the group has contributed over $1,300 to the ALS foundation this past year. All funds collected in this area to "strike out ALS" are sent to the Illinois chapter of ALS, who in turn forward it to the National foundation. The Illinois chapter has no paid employees, the cor­ poration being non-profit, charitable, and tax exempt. Chapter operations are funded by membership dues of $10 per year per person on a volunteer basis.

Right Choice When you buy broccoli, look for bunches which are a rich dark green, with tightly closed green buds. Over-aged broccoli is lighter in color, the buds are yellowish and open and may even show small yellow flowers. This is tougher, stronger in taste and has much less flavor than proper young broccoli.
