Biotin is a B-vitamin (also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H) that plays a crucial role in the health of dogs, particularly in maintaining the health of their skin, coat, and nails. It is essential for various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acids, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins. […]
Canine distemper is a viral disease that can have severe and potentially fatal consequences for dogs. It affects a dog’s respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems, often leading to long-term neurological damage or death. Despite advances in veterinary care and the availability of vaccines, canine distemper remains a significant threat to unvaccinated dogs and puppies. What […]
Milk Fever is a common metabolic disorder that typically affects dairy cows during the first few days after calving. It is characterized by a sudden drop in blood calcium levels, leading to a range of symptoms and, if untreated, severe health consequences. This condition is also known as Hypocalcemia What is Milk Fever? Milk Fever […]
Yes, copper sulfate is generally contraindicated in horses when used improperly or in excess. While copper is an essential trace mineral for horses and is required for various metabolic functions, such as iron absorption, bone development, and immune function, excessive amounts of copper can be toxic.

What is Retention of Placenta? Retention of placenta in cattle refers to the condition where the placenta fails to be expelled from the uterus within 24 hours after calving. Normally, the placenta is delivered shortly after the birth of the calf, but in some cases, it remains attached to the uterine wall. This condition can […]
Ketosis is a metabolic disorder that primarily affects ruminant animals, such as dairy cows, sheep, and goats, during periods of high metabolic demand. It occurs when the animal’s body is unable to meet its energy requirements through dietary intake and starts mobilizing fat reserves. While fat breakdown provides energy, it also leads to the production […]
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious viral disease that poses a significant threat to puppies, particularly those under six months of age. The virus is known for causing severe gastrointestinal illness, including vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, and it can also lead to more severe complications like cardiac or bone marrow damage. CPV is a […]
Malassezia infection, or Malassezia dermatitis, is a common yet often under-recognized condition in dogs. It occurs due to the overgrowth of a yeast called Malassezia pachydermatis, which normally resides on the skin without causing harm. However, under certain conditions, this yeast can multiply uncontrollably, leading to inflammation, irritation, and infection. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, […]
Metabolic disorders in ruminants arise when there is an imbalance in the animal’s normal physiological processes, often due to nutrition, energy metabolism, or hormonal imbalances. These disorders can severely affect livestock health, productivity, and reproductive performance. Early recognition, prompt treatment, and preventive measures are crucial to managing these conditions effectively. Common Types of Metabolic Disorders […]
Fatty Liver Syndrome (FLS) is a metabolic disorder commonly seen in cattle, particularly during the transition period around calving. It is characterized by the excessive accumulation of fat within the liver, which can severely impair liver functions, including detoxification, nutrient metabolism, and energy regulation, and lead to a range of health problems. In cattle, the […]
