How Are You Aware In Case Your Cat Is Peeing or Marking Its Territory?

Peeing at places are often produced by felines who wish to mark its territory, the manifestation of a good cat. However, insecure felines make marks by peeing too, and it is a kind of communication between cats. Urine-marking causes vary it is sometimes to mark a territory, in order to show aggressive behavior, an intimate calling, or perhaps being frightened and unsure.

Squirting is exactly what felines do, so don't be concerned if you think your cat is overdoing it. It's not an indication of inappropriate behavior. Simply because the kitty does it doesn't mean that it's spiteful towards you because the owner, or any other deliberate reason. Becoming an animal, this is one way they react towards particular situations, and do 't be overtly worry if they're just doing what character built them into to do.

However, cat squirting is totally different from peeing indiscriminately. You should know the main difference like a cat owner. Maybe your pet is staying away from the cat litter box, whether if it's unclean, or because you will find other felines inherited that intimidates it. Also, it will have a uti. Urinating on places, usually with horizontal surfaces isn't squirting rather, this means the cat includes a problem.

Nevertheless, it's obvious that felines usually spray onto vertical objects, which for them is an indication of communication, not only territorial behavior. The cat remains standing if this oral sprays, unlike the squat position when going for a leak. Before it oral sprays, it'll go backward for the area, after which its tail will quiver, front feet massaging in to the ground. He then will spray urine up to possible to the area it specific.

In addition, felines may spray vertical areas too rather than objects, for instance, sofas, area rugs or beds. To know if it's an issue with marking, look into the urine, whether if it's inside a spray or puddle. Oral sprays means that it's being normal and making its mark, and puddle implies that your cat needs more training or a vacation to the vet. See below for additional info on felines training.

How Are You Aware In Case Your Lover Really Loves You

"You don't love me anymore," Suzy wailed inconsolably.

"Of course I love you," Bart said, somewhat irritated.

"No you don't. You never tell me how pretty I am anymore and you never even tell me that I look nice. You didn't even notice I wore a new blouse yesterday. And I bought it for you." Suzy continued to cry.

How Are You Aware In Case Your Lover Really Loves You

"What's the matter with you," Bart, said with increasing exasperation. "You already know I love you. Do I have to tell you everyday?"

Suzy, about to say something, sputtered to a stop. He doesn't really love me, she thought. He always seems preoccupied with other things. He doesn't even come to hug me or hold my hand like he used too. What has happened to us?

Such words are all too common among couples of all ages. The romance and courtship seemed to have ended and doubts begin to appear. Other concerns about jobs, money, politics, friends, family matters rather than with each other occupy their time together. Boredom, decreasing communication, less lovemaking, and a growing separateness have become commonplace.

Several scenarios are possible. One, and the most ominous, is that the couple is falling out of love, or the relationship has become tenuous as the couple has drifted apart. Another possible scenario is the relationship has changed as the partners settled into a less romantic interaction and what Suzy desire for continuing romance was no longer on the table.

So how to you know if your lover loves you? You need to carefully examine how the relationship has unfolded. Where has the romance gone? Has one or both of you become negligent and slowly "forgot" to say "I love you." Have you stopped doing the romantic things that make someone feel loved? Or has your lover stopped loving you?"

Here is the test:

1. Once you recognize that the changes noted above have occurred has either of you suggested sitting down and examining what has changed your relationship. In other words, are you open to communication or does one of you prefer to ignore the problem? Not a good sign if this is true.

2. Do you find that attempts to reach out or touch your partner are thwarted or not reciprocated or worse, does your lover move away when you reach out?

3. Do you find that you are reluctant to suggest romantic interludes, such as a night out or a special romantic dinner or a romantic walk or a romantic anything?

4. Are your conversations becoming narrow, limited in scope? In other words has boredom set in and you find you're not listening to each other.

5. Does the limitation in connecting seem one-sided? Is the lack of interest denied and makes you feel, as Suzy felt in our little story, that she was neglected and ignored.

What to do:

1. The most essential thing is simple. Any reluctance or anger needs to be dealt with first. Unless that can be overcome real communication is difficult. Under such circumstances, a brief period of couple therapy might be helpful to get you back on track.

2. Above all, don't ignore it. That could lead to increasing doubts and eventually a dysfunctional relationship might result. If you remain together you may find you are adapting to an impoverished relationship.

3. Don't accept that. If you catch these changes early, couples can almost always overcome their difficulties and resume their romance. Romance should be lifelong. And communication is the connecting artery and life-blood to make it so.

By facing relationship problems early and maintaining a positive attitude to improve your relationship most couples can overcome such difficulties and help set the stage for increased intimacy and happiness.

Parasites-How Do You Know if You Have Worms and What to Do About Them

I had a client a while back who had this question for me: "I've noticed that I've been getting menstrual cramps the last few months and I don't usually have them. Can you tell me what you think it is?"

It was determined, strangely or not so strangely enough, that the cause of those menstrual cramps was parasites! And this isn't the only disease caused, in part, by parasites. Read on...

How Do You Know If Your Pregnant

I recommend for her, and for you, that you worm both your pets and yourselves about twice a year.

Parasites-How Do You Know if You Have Worms and What to Do About Them

I've tried natural wormers over the years--actually LOTS of natural wormers such as: garlic, cloves, black walnut, cilantro, wormwood, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate, diatomaceous earth, Rascal, Zymex, Vermifuge, several other natural wormer formulas and homeopathics, but nothing seems that effective. I've even tried the Hulda Clarke "Zapper" (which does not work by the way, because the voltage of the thing is not strong enough to penetrate the fecal material within the bowels--save your money by not purchasing or building one!) I am sorry to report (as a naturopath) that studies show these herbal treatments are only about 20% effective. The Certified Organic organization says when all else fails, use ivermectin (which is not organic in any way), but have you seen the list of side affects to that particular product? Three pages long!

I will say that when a client comes to me, I ask them if they have any cravings. One sure sign they are "wormy" is when they tell me they crave cloves. Clove oil has been shown to penetrate the egg and kill it where the other herbs only kill the adults. Herbs that kill parasites are often found in herbal cancer formulas because parasites are often a core cause of that particular disease.

One reason why I push so much for routine worming is that the medical field often misses this diagnosis--especially if you don't have a history of traveling outside the United States where parasites are often a big issue. I love working in my garden and often I am an open-mouth breather when I'm working up the soil. We also live in a windy area and dirt from the wheat and grass fields is often in the air. I try to wash my hands frequently, but anyone who works in the dirt knows that it's nearly impossible to keep from getting it on you.

Another reason why I stay on top of the worm situation is that worms carry viruses into our body. Some of these viruses can cause cancer, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and a host of other horrid diseases.

In my opinion, the safest, cheapest, easiest, most effective way to worm yourself and your pets of the most common worms (roundworms--also called strongyles, thread worms, pinworms, ascarids) is to go to the local feed store and get a bottle of horse or dog roundwormer--Equi-Phar, ProTal, Strongid-T, and Nemex are all trade names of Pyrantel Pamoate. I say this because when you ask your doctor for a wormer, they usually tell you there is no need for you to be wormed. Make sure it says Pyrantel Pamoate on the label and nothing else added. Combination wormers are not always needed and not always safe.

Dosage: Use the dose of 5-10 mg/kilogram bodyweight (about 1 ml/5 to 10 pounds of a 50mg/ml solution) of bodyweight for dogs and humans and 1 ½ ml/5 to 10 pounds for cats. One teaspoon is 5 ml or cc (ml and cc are the same unit of volume). If you are not good at math, you'll want to double-check that you are taking the correct dosage. Although this wormer is so safe that you can take 40 times the amount with no harmful side effects, you don't want to under dose. And, "If a little is good, a LOT is not necessary better." The most common side effect is nausea so take this product with something on your stomach like a small meal or a few crackers.

One dose is all it takes, but you may have to give a second dose 7-10 days after the first dose for the initial worming or if the wormload is quite large. I use this once a year now for myself as I have had a history of heart palpitations (another symptom associated with parasites.) The worms will be dead within 20 minutes. You won't feel anything and should have no side-effects. You won't see anything pass into the toilet as a general rule but if you are wondering about what is passing, a photo often helps. Often people will mistake intestinal shreds for flatworms or tapeworms and undigested food for parasites. This wormer will not kill those types of parasties. Occasionally I see a pet get nauseated with an overdose, but in 30 years, I have never seen any other side-effect.

Will store-bought wormer work the same? No. Many stores still carry Piperazine wormer which has been so overused that it is no longer an effective wormer. Piperazine is often marketed as a "monthly" wormer in the pet sections. I once saw a litter of eight puppies in full seizure who had just been wormed that week with piperazine. Imagine eight cute little Golden Retreiver puppies laying on their sides shaking. It was horrifying! I immediately wormed them with Pyrantel and the worms just flowed out their little rectums and the seizures stopped within 20 minutes. It was incredible to watch!

If the product you purchase contains a tapeworm medicine (like clorpyriphos which is an organophosphate wormer), that may cause some serious side affects. Never use these store bought wormers on pregnant animals. The animal's guts can contract so strongly to pass the worms that they can rupture their uterus and die. Always get tapeworm medicine from your doctor or veterinarian as we carry much safer brands than the grocery or feed stores do. Tobacco plug is also not safe. Don't use it.

How do you get worms? We pick up worms from some of the things we eat, from the dirt, and from the dust we breathe in. Eating dirt is a sign of iron deficiency. We should talk if you are doing that... I got pin worms when I was a little girl by eating a mud pie (my friend said she'd give me a nickel if I did it!) Pinworms are the equivalent of cat and dog roundworms, only they are a different species of worm so are not passed from us to them and vice-versa. See more on that below.

Most adults (pets and people) have enough enzymes in their mouths to break down most of the eggs coming in through our mouths and nose, our stomach acids break down even more, but some eggs get by both of those back-up systems where they hatch, find a home, and grow into adults within about 10-14 days in our small intestine. After 14 days, these adult parasites are producing more eggs--millions of them in their lifetime. Yuk!

We see worms most commonly in baby animals and humans because their salivary enzymes are not as strong, the hydrochloric stomach acids have not been totally developed yet, and because they have oral fixations and put lots of things into their mouths--they ingest more dirt than adults. Their immune systems cannot keep up with that. The "load" (number of worms) gets so great in the small intestine that it spills over into the large intestine and into the stomach. This is why it is so common to see babies either vomit worms or poop them out. Because adults have a better immune system, the load is controlled and the worms like the environment of the small intestine, so that is where they stay. We may still have worms, but it is not as evident as it was when we were young children (or pets under a year of age.)

How do you know if you should take a wormer?

Signs of roundworms include, fevers, cough, wheezing, stomach problems, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal cramping, appendicitis, gas, bloating, increased cramping (menstrual), heart palpitations, pain in the lower right quadrant that comes and goes (spasms in the ileocecal valve), itchy anus', dry lusterless hair with split ends, seizures, pica appetite (often for sugar), clear mucous strands in the stool (yes you should be looking at it each time you go! And yes, I will ask you what it looks like if you ever consult with me.) People and animals with lots of parasites also have big bellies and lots of diameter below the belly button caused from the intestines losing their tone. Most times worms can be diagnosed by looking at the bowel contents under a microscope or doing a blood test, but not always. Protozooal parasites such as giardia are often missed.

Can I get roundworms and tapeworms from my pets?

Good question, and I get that a lot. If you worm your pets regularly, you won't have this problem. Dog and cat worms are different than most human worms. There are only a few species of worms that are zoonotic (passed from your dogs and cats to you)--one of those is Toxoplasma cati, which is passed to the human from cat feces and causes blindness in children. But, the Pyrantel Pamoate kills that and if you clean the litter box every day, the probability of that being passed is nearly nil. Giardia lamblia, an intestinal protozoal parasite can be passed to you through your pet as well, but mostly humans get Giardia from drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated lettuce or water chestnuts. Mange is NOT passed from animals to humans and neither are head lice or public lice. Tapeworms are not transferred from dogs and cats to people (but they are from fish and some farm animals). Tapeworms are treated with different drugs than roundworms.

Ring worm is not actually a parasitic worm. It is really a fungus and that, too, can be passed from your pets to you. We have fantastic homeopathic drops for that, but keeping the area scrubbed and applying iodine to it can help. Also keeping your immune system and that of your pet healthy with good high-quality foods helps immensely.

Well, that's worms in a nutshell (or in this case, an intestine!) Appetizing, eh?

How You Can Know If You're Pregnant - The 18 Stuff You Got To Understand About Pregnancy

Are you pregnant? You may be pregnant if you have been experiencing some of the 18 pregnancy symptoms below.

Nausea or morning sickness: Morning sickness are the nauseating feelings and vomiting you experience during pregnancy. Most pregnant women experience morning sickness from the first month of pregnancy onwards. Although the name suggests that this is a condition experienced in the morning, it may strike at any time during the day whenever your blood sugar levels get too low. Headaches: If you already had a headache problem before pregnancy, be prepared for it to worsen during pregnancy. The changes in your body's hormone levels during pregnancy is the main cause of headaches. Other conditions like lack of sleep, poor posture, stress, dehydration and low blood sugar levels may also worsen of cause headaches. Dizziness and fainting spells: During your pregnancy, it is normal for your blood pressure to drop lower than your normal levels. When this happens, you might experience some dizziness and fainting spells in extreme cases. Mood swings: The physical and hormonal changes you experience during pregnancy will definitely have a negative impact on your state of mind and cause you to feel gloomy. It takes some time to settle into your new life by adjusting to all the changes in your body and lifestyle. Fatigue: If you feel fatigued and experience some or all of the symptoms mentioned in this article, you have a good chance of being pregnant. Hormonal changes are usually the main cause of fatigue followed by the additional weight you have to carry around. Food cravings: Craving for food that you normally would not eat could be a sign that you are pregnant. Many women crave for salty and sweet food while some develop a strange craving for fatty or spicy food. Weight gain and bloating: Your growing baby and increased food intake will result in an unavoidable gain in weight and inability to fit into some of your clothes. An inexplicable increase in size of your tummy is also a definitive sign that you may be pregnant. Heartburn: The hormones in your body may relax the valve between your stomach and esophagus, causing a wave of gastric acid to flow upwards, which in turn causes an uncomfortable burning sensation. Lower back pain: As your baby grows in size, the added weight pulls your spine to the front of your body and causes you to experience some back pain every now and then. Constipation: Hormonal changes during pregnancy slows down the movement of food through your digestive system which results in constipation. This could be a sign of pregnancy if you do not experience constipation frequently. Frequent urination: Your growing baby in the uterus puts a lot of pressure on your bladder and you may find yourself visiting the loo more frequently than usual. High Basal Body Temperature (BBT): If your BTT stays in the high temperature range for 18 days or more, you have a good chance of being pregnant. Cramping: As the uterus grows and stretches, it is normal to feel cramps that feel similar to menstrual cramps. Spotting: Slight bleeding occurs during implantation of the fertilized egg to the lining of the uterus. A lot of women confuse this with their period but this happens usually before the period starts and the discharge is lighter than normal. Darkening of the areolas: Your areolas could darken and increase in diameter during pregnancy. This is caused by your body's preparation for your breasts to produce milk. Tender or swollen breasts: It is common for women to have sore, tingly, tender or swollen breasts during pregnancy. Many women report this feels like a greater version of the sensations before periods. Missed periods: A late or missed period is usually the first sign women notice when they are pregnant. Further tests will be required to confirm if your suspicions are valid. Positive pregnancy tests: Only a positive urine test or blood test can give you solid indication that you are pregnant. Positive pregnancy tests: However, these tests are not 100% accurate all of the time, therefore you might want to visit a doctor to conduct further tests.

How Do You Know If Your Pregnant

Please take note that not all symptoms above indicate a confirmed pregnancy. When you have a positive pregnancy test, visit a doctor to get more tests done to confirm your pregnancy. That's the only way to find out if you are truly pregnant.
