Welcome to Taylor's Wiki Space!

   Over the next 4 months I will be upadating and changing my wiki space every 2-3 weeks. Every 2-3 weeks the wiki will have a diffrent theme.

This weeks theme is: Cell Phones, How Dirty?     media type="youtube" key="cx1yyY05u58" height="344" width="425"  cell phone lies. "MRSA Staph Cell phones Germs? MRSA Staph Cell Phones $ Germs." __Youtube__. 2008. breatheasy7000. 28 December, 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx1yyY05u58 It is known that cell phones actually contain more bacteria then the average toilet seat! EWW. It's easy to believe that our cell phones are prone to germs because they come in more contact with more parts of our bodys, with creates a wider range of germs. Phones can be cleaned with anti bacterial wipes, or rubbing alcohol.                                    <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">   <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">    Dakss, Brian.

Feline Diseases       ........................................................................................................................This is Buddy

This is Snoopy

So basically, this week I chose to bring attention to the diseases that can affect our little furry friends, whom we LOVE SO MUCH. Because I love not only my animals but all animals, I like to know what diseases they can be infected by. Here are some, that I found. Feline Diabetes Feline diabetes is very similar to human; being that type 1 is the pancreas doesn't produce insulin, and type 2 is when the body cells dont respond well to insulin. Diabetics most commonly result in weight loss because their body isnt producing enough surgar for energy therefore they will eventually starve to death. This disease can affect any cat, any age, and sex; but it is most commonly found in older male cats who are typiclly obese. Symptoms of Dibetes                Excessive urination Increased appetite Weight loss Neuropathy is a condition that weakends the rear legs Good news, theres a treatment. Cats can get an insulin supplement through pill or shots twice a day, and controlled through a diet. Price, Rebecca. (2004). //Cat Diabetes For Begginers//. //Feline Diabetes//.

<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Feline Pancreatitis Feline Pancreatitis occurs, when digestive enzymes escape ,they digest the body itself. The pancreas becomes inflammed when the digestive enzymes are digesting the pancreas, the inflammation continues and soon damages the liver. Signs of pancreatitis are vomiting, abdominal pain, and lose of appetite. Unfortunety it is unknown what causes this diseas, but there is a treament: steroids, antacids, low residue diets, vitamin B-12 supplementation. Along with some others.

**Esophagostomy Tube Feeding** What is it? An E- Tube is a small rubber tube that is entered through the neck and into the esophagus, so food cn be transported to the stomach. How does it work? The E-Tube works, by taking a syring and injecting soft food into the tube 3 to 5 times a day. The tube is removed based on the condition being treated. <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #b2ff00; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Lienden, Dr. Raymond Van.

<span style="color: #c50707; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">cholangiohepatitis <span style="font-size: 80%; color: #d8520e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> Cholangiohepatitis= "Chol" means (bile) and "angio" means (vessel) and "hepat" means (liver) and "itis" means (inflammation), put it all togerther and you get inflammation of liver and bile ducts. <span style="font-size: 80%; color: #d8520e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Bile is a greenish material that is transported to the gall bladder by bile ducts; the gall ballder is where the bile is stored. Bile cn serve as a dump for toxins that the liver has removed from the bodies, so it cant be reabsorbed. The problem is bacteria can make its way up to the bile duct and invade the liver, which cn often lead to inflammation of the liver and potientially liver failure.
