Howdy, Dr.!  I’ve been “surprised” with news that I may be receiving a basset hound puppy sometime before the end of the year. It’s a good surprise and I’m really excited. I’ve only ever been adopted by full grown street dogs/strays, and have little (read: no) experience raising a pure bred puppy..! I’ve been consuming as much literature as I can about these dogs and wanted to know what your experience with them as a vet has been! Also, if you don’t mind sharing–what’s your personal opinion on the ethics of this breed? I know breeds with extreme anatomy can be super dodgy, and in some cases, pretty unethical due to a decreased quality of life caused by the traits that have been bred into them (ie: pugs).  A lot of what I’m reading is recommending things to look out for/avoid in  regards to the “breed standard”–but I’m having a hard time finding things to look out for/avoid from a veterinary/health perspective.  This is a lot of questions… so I’ve included a sketch for you (of you?), as tax! :D Cheers!!

Mate, you have no idea how close I was to rage quitting Tumblr a few hours before this submission came in. Thank you, it’s beautifully done.

You get to skip the queue.

The breed is fairly uncommon, especially compared to the more popular beagle and dachshund, but there are a few things worth noting from a veterinary perspective.

These dogs are deep chested enough to be able to develop Gastric Dilatation Volvulus, aka ‘bloat’. This is important to remember because if a dog’s stomach twists on itself, cutting off the oesophagus and blood supply, then you don’t have a lot of time to get it to surgery if it’s going to survive. GDV is typically thought of as a ‘big dog’ disease, but Basset Hounds aren’t really little dogs, they’re just short dogs.

Most dogs of this breed that I’ve encountered have been through emergency, due to Intervertebral Disc Disease, much like our friend the dachshund. These dogs racked up a vet bill of thousands of dollars to be able to walk again. 

The breed is well known for having excess skin, and many individuals will have excessive skin on their face, resulting in eyelids that either roll inwards (Entropion) or outwards (Ectroption). I have a pet hate for bad eyes, and having fury skin that rubs on the eyeballs from entroption is one definition of ‘bad eyes’. Picking dogs that have neat eyelids is highly advisable, otherwise this structural issue will require surgery to correct.

The loose eyelid skin also seems to predispose to cherry eye, or prolapse of the 3rd eyelid gland. Again, surgery would generally be required. 

The osteochondrodysplasia that gives this breed its short legs also leaves them prone to elbow dysplasia , as well as IVDD above.

The big floppy ears, a distinctive feature of the breed, and the extra skin around its neck frequently leave these dogs prone to skin and ear infections. While they can be reduced a little with careful maintenance the more skin flaps the dog has, the more issues you would expect.

As for the ethics of this breed, like many things my concerns come down to the extremeness of morphology. The dog in the gif above is a fairly moderate example of a Basset hound, but the dog pictured below…

… is not so much. The excessive skin provides no benefit to the dog, if it gets any lower and saggier then this individual is going to be dragging its willy along the ground, and I have seen a couple of dogs that have a permanent ventral chest/abdominal rash because they drag on the ground. This is worse if the dog becomes obese, which is more common in dogs that can’t exercise due to joint or spinal disease, which are both common in this breed.

The ethical issues in breeding these dogs are broadly the same for any other breed, aesthetics should not be prioritized over health and function of the dog and ‘line breeding’ shouldn’t be encouraged.

Diabetes Master Post

TYPE 1:

Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes usually develops in children - it is unsure if it is triggered by external factors such as another illness or puberty. However, it has been proved that type 1 diabetes is genetic, meaning it can run in whole families.

Type 1 diabetes CANNOT be cured, it can only be treated by artificial insulin.

TYPE 2:

Type 2 diabetes usually develops in older people who usually have a bad diet and don’t exercise as much as they should. It develops due to PROLONGED bad diet and it cannot develop by just one slice of cake or bag of sweets. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by tablets, good diet and exercise. In time, a person with type 2 can stop their medication. If controlled badly, a person with type 2 might have to take daily insulin injections.

CF RELATED DIABETES:

CF related diabetes is neither type 1 nor type 2. CF is cystic fibrosis, a chronic illness that impact many areas of the body. CF patients have a small pancreas that makes it hard to digest food without medication; as well as this, it is relatively common for people with CF to develop diabetes (around 50% develop it).

They are no longer to produce the right amount of insulin you need (like in type 1) but they can also become insulin resistant (like in type 2).

HYPOGLYCEMIA:

Hypoglycemia (or a hypo) is low blood sugar. This is very common for people with diabetes (normally type 1) as artificial insulin can lower blood sugars to dangerously low levels. Symptoms can include; shakiness, tiredness, sweating, headaches, hunger and acting drunk. Hypos can usually be treated by sugar and carbs.

If not treated, a person can pass out from having no sugar in their blood and in some cases it can cause death.

HYPERGLYCEMIA:

Hyperglycemia (or a hyper) is high blood sugar. This is common for people with diabetes and people are always diagnosed with high blood sugar. Symptoms can include; anger, headaches, sweating, lethargy and the feeling of being sick. Hypers are treated by a correction dose of insulin to lower the blood sugars and lots of water to dilute the blood.

If not treated, a person can go into DKA (this is more common in type 1 diabetics). DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) is a condition where the body is starved of nutrition, so it breaks down the body through the use of ketones. DKA, in extreme cases, can cause the blood to turn acidic and can cause veins to shut down as well as some vital organs.

PENS:

A way to control type 1 diabetes is through pen injection. Pen injections require the person to take insulin each time before they eat as well as a set injection in the day for long lasting insulin. Pens hold a vial of insulin that need to be changed each time a vial is used up.

Injection sites need to be rotated around the stomach, arms and legs (and anywhere else that is comfortable). Scar tissue can form if  a site is used too much and it can be painful to inject into. Pens can also be given cool names to make it more personal.

PUMPS:

Pumps act a lot more like a pancreas does in that it can release insulin over a longer period of time to tackle things that are slow release such as pasta. Pumps can be wireless or have tubing, but both types still include vials of insulin (that need to be changed). Pumps also have a higher chance of failing, which means that a person with a pump might need to return back to pen injections if the pump does fail.

Pumps also need to be rotated so that scarring doesn’t occur. Some pumps can also be decorated.

EXERCISE:

Exercise with diabetes needs to be done carefully. Some actions can cause blood sugars to spike which requires an insulin correction dose while others cause blood sugars to drop which requires the person to take a break and to eat.

A person with diabetes should test their sugars before, after and during exercise and they shouldn’t exercise at all with ketones since it can be dangerous.

PERIODS:

Diabetes often effects periods. This means that before a period begins, a person can experience higher sugars which means they might need to accommodate for this. Furthermore, injection sites might become more painful around a period.

DO NOT:

- Suggest ways to ‘treat’ a person’s diabetes through herbs and other remedies - usually this is all wrong and if you suggest it to a person with type 1 then you might get ranted at

- Comment on weight. At all. Weight is personal and a person shouldn’t be judged if they are overweight with diabetes

- Make jokes like 'I ate so much I’ll get 5 types of diabetes’. It isn’t funny and you’re only adding to the stigma that all diabetics are overweight

- Try and lecture a person with diabetes, they know what they’re doing most of the time

- Bring up people you know with diabetes and follow it up by saying that they died from it. This usually causes unnecessary stress and anxiety

- Ask for any food you see diabetics eating. Food they have has normally been injected for or the right amount of tablets has been taken or it. OR the food they’re eating is to treat a hypo and therefore cannot be taken

Hope this helped a little bit

The Universe is made of a vast sea of #conscious energy that has infinite potential. This energy has a unique ability that allows it to have infinite expressions which are achieved through frequencies. Genius Brain Frequency 80-82 MHz Brain Frequency Range 72-90 MHz Normal Brain Frequency 72 MHz Human Body 62-78 MHz Human Body: from Neck up 72-78 MHz Human Body: from Neck down 60-68 MHz Thyroid and Parathyroid glands are 62-68 MHz Thymus Gland is 65-68 MHz Heart is 67-70 MHz Lungs are 58-65 MHz Liver is 55-60 MHz Pancreas is 60-80 MHz

Colds and Flu start at: 57-60 MHz Disease starts at: 58 MHz Candida overgrowth starts at: 55 MHz Receptive to Epstein Barr at: 52 MHz Receptive to Cancer at: 42 MHz Death begins at: 25 MHz

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of a lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises an important question, concerning the frequencies of substances we eat, breathe and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned food has a frequency of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15 Hz, dried herbs from 12 to 22 Hz and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 Hz. #4biddenknowledge Song is “528 Hz Reflections” by @4biddenknowledge
