6. Staff for the Clinic

All these mentioned

things are most im-

portant to fulfil if you

are going to start a vet-

erinary practice.

Area should be selected

according to the popula-

tion of animals present

in that area. The area

should contain all types

of animals which helps

you in establishing a well

develop veterinary prac-

tice and will also en-

hance your experience.

Dr. Zahid Afzal further said that

this lecture will help the fresh grad-

uates and the existing veterinarian

to improve their veterinary skills

and to establish their own devel-

oped practice.

As International Young

Veterinarian Association

decided to deliver video

lectures on different top-

ics, the first lecture by Dr.

Zahid Afzal (Founder Pres-

ident) is recorded. This

lecture is about veterinary

Hospital Management. Dr.

Zahid Afzal said that most

of our Fresh Graduates of

Veterinary Medicines had

lack of confidence in estab-

lishing their own veterinary

Practice. Rather they pre-

fer to do jobs in different

companies and Farms. Es-

tablishing a veterinary hos-

pital is too much easy and

beneficial for the veteri-

nary Graduate if done in a

proper manner and by fol-

lowing rules and regulation.

Few things must be reminded

when you are starting your

own practice, as following:

1. Area for the Clinic/

Hospital

2. Population Physcology

3. Marketing

4. Decoration of Clinic

“Though morally,

confinement can be

a good option, but

unsprayed female

dogs and cats come

into heat (estrus) at

about six months of

age and instinctively

attract males to

mate in the need to

reproduce and

continue the species.

Females’ bleed when

they are in heat and

can stain the

male dogs or cats

Editorial By IYVA on World Spay Day Feb

2015

Pet overpopulation is a prob-

lem of enormous proportion in

the world. Globally millions

of dogs are rendered shelter

less, killed in accidents, die of

diseases which could either be

prevented by vaccination, or

treated by a prompt medical

attention. Unwanted stray

dogs and uncontrolled pets are

primary sources of ecological

and social problems/ menace.

Dog bites are a serious public

health concern. Besides inju-

ries and the adverse psycho-

logical impacts, dog bites can

be complicated by infections

including rabies, which has

the highest case-fatality rate of

all infectious diseases. Dog

bites are among the top 12

non-fatal injuries in the

world. Some estimate that

there is a 50 percent chance

of being bitten by a domestic

animal during a lifetime, of

which dog bites account for

80–90 percent, and about

half of all dog bite injuries

are actually reported to medi-

cal services. There are an

estimated annual figure of

almost 60 000 deaths from

rabies each year worldwide

which is more than that at-

tributed to any other single

zoonotic disease. The total

annual global costs of canine

rabies alone are estimated to

be of the order of tens of

billions of dollars. Hence controlling

rabies in dogs, and especially free-

roaming (stray) dogs, is the first priori-

ty for prevention of human rabies.

The female dogs and cats are

still widely perceived as the primary

targets for reproductive control on the

premises that owners of fertile males

are not likely to be concerned with

pregnancies or the offspring’s of the

bitches or cats. As a con-

sequence, the development

of contraceptives for con-

trolling the growth of the

pet population has been

primarily directed towards

the female of the species.

However the participation

of both the sexes is an

unavoidable/ inevitable

requirement for pregnan-

cy, and the contribution of the male to

the overall growth of the pet popula-

tion can no longer be ignored as each

intact male is reproductively active

year round and therefore capable of

siring a number of litters. The steriliza-

tion of a large number of males would

effectively contribute to curb the

growth of pet population. Currently the

only proven means of contraception for

the dogs are confinement and surgical

sterilization. Gonadectomy as a method

of rendering the bitches sterile has

been one of the most ancient surgical

pet. Roaming can lead

to attack by other dogs and death

due to automobile over running.

Hence confinement as an option

doesn’t seem to be a good means

of contraception

Spaying or neutering

renders the pet incapable of

breeding, by removing their

reproductive organs. Spaying

(ovariohysterectomy) is the sur-

gical removal of a female dog or

cat’s ovaries and uterus. Neuter-

ing (castration) is the surgical

removal of a male dog or cat’s

testicles. A spayed female dog or

cat will not have a heat (oestrus)

cycle and hence will not be able

to reproduce. This does not af-

fect its protectiveness and will be

less likely to fight with other animals. The

medical problems of female cats and dogs

involve ovarian cysts, ovarian tumours,

uterine tumours, transveneral tumours and

mammary gland tumours (the incidence of

which increases with each oestrus cycle)

and pyometra (uterine infection) which if

untreated can result in death of the animal.

In these cases the treatment option is a life

risking surgery, which can still be with a

heart or kidney damage, causing lifelong

problems or even death.

A neutered male dog or cat will

not be able to reproduce, will be less likely

to mark the territory by urinating or spray-

ing, will be less likely to exhibit aggressive

behaviours that stem from sexual tendencies

(in more than 60% of cases) will be less

likely to roam (in 90% of cases) and get into

fights with other dogs and cats and will

have a reduces inappropriate behaviour like

mounting (in 70 % cases) on humans, other

dogs and inanimate objects. The medical side in

over 80 % of unneutered male dogs develop

prostrate problems which can make urination

difficult and in some cases difficult defecation.

Transvaginal tumours, testicular tumours, peria-

nal tumours, perianal hernias are a common

finding in unneutered males over five years of

age.

Pregnancy and birth can be risky for

the mother. If a female gets pregnant, the re-

sponsibility of having to

care for her during pregnan-

cy, birth and looking after

her litter until good homes

for the puppies are found is

a challenging task. The cost

involved in the whole pro-

cess is also too high. Many

unspayed females dogs

have a false pregnancy after

a season and although this is natural, it can

cause behavioural and medical problems.

Finally, psychological attitudes to-

wards pets, influences social attitudes towards

pet control and the methods to be used for con-

trolling the population of pets. Therefore a

strong educational thrust to increase under-

standing and to encourage utilization of the

available technology for control of per popula-

tion is needed. Castration of prepubertal and

virgin male dogs usually prevents mounting and

copulatory behaviour throughout the rest of

their lives.

In this regard an event was held on

the last Tuesday in February each year as

“World Spay Day”. It was first started as spay

day USA, as annual event created by Doris Day

animal League (DDAL) in 1995, to promote

spays and neuters across USA to help eliminate

the problems of homeless pets. After the

Parasitic Infestation in the Livestock of Chitwan, Nepal

P A G E 9 V O L U M E 2 , I S S U E I I

Abstract:

The Parasitic infestation is a

major health problem in the

livestock of Chitwan, Nepal.

The most frequently found para-

sites are Nematodes, paraam-

phistomum, B.coli, Bunosto-

mum.

Methodology:

Retrospective study of cases of

one month in Veterinary Teach-

ing Hospital (VTH), AFU Chit-

wan in Jan. 2015.

Result:

Out of 44 total livestock and

poultry cases 29 are Fecal ex-

amination (FE) ,i.e. 65.91% and

21 become positive, i.e.

72.41%.Out of which

Nematodes- 23.8%

Paramphistomum- 38.1%

B.coli- 9.5%

Nematodes+ Paramphisto-

mum- 14.3%

Nematode+Bunostomum-

9.5%

Bunostomum- 4.8%

Conclusion:

History shows that the farmers

only carry the FE when the ani-

mal shows the signs like emaci-

ation, loss of production, diar-

rhea, off smelling feces etc. The

lack of routine fecal examina-

tion and deworming is a major

problem due to which parasitic

infestation has become as a ma-

jor health problem of livestock

in Nepal.
