Summer Itch is a distressing skin condition also known as Summer Eczema or Seasonal Dermatitis.Summer Itch is a condition caused by a hypersensitivity to the bites of the Culicoides flies. After being bitten, some horses are allergic to a substance in the saliva of the fly, which causes a local reaction. This in turn causes intense irritation with severe itching, which the horse tries to relieve by rubbing and biting itself.

Posted by , 22-02-2012 14:38The heart is a very important and complicated organ. The heart is the central “pump” that provides the body with oxygenated blood. The red blood cells in the blood supply oxygen to all the tissues. The deoxygenated blood flows back to the heart. From there it is pumped to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated again. After passing the heart, the blood is pumped through the body again to deliver oxygen to all tissues and organs. When there is something wrong with the “pump”, the organs will not receive enough oxygen and this may cause a life-threatening situation.

* The liver as the producer of bile.
* The liver as an important link in metabolism.Obesity
Posted by , 22-02-2012 14:37A lot of people struggle with excess weight these days. But unfortunately veterinarians see an increasing number of overweight pets as well. And this really is a problem; not only can excess weight cause health problems, but the well-being of your pet is compromised as well. What do you think your pet would prefer? That it can run and play freely and happily or that it is trudging, panting and moaning because it can’t keep up because of its weight?
