On September 27, 2022, MAN Pharma together with IDEXX Laboratories held the IDEXX Signature Class at Microtel by Wyndham. This dinner lecture had presentations from industry experts, exciting games, and a luxurious meal for our special guests. Fresh from the first day of this year’s PAHA convention, veterinarians across the Philippines headed over to MAN Pharma and IDEXX’s special dining lecture.

The event started with a lecture from Professional Services Veterinarian, Mr. Atid Suthamnatpong. He gave a comprehensive look at the applications of SDMA for the diagnosis and staging of chronic kidney disease, giving listeners much-needed insight into their practice. This lecture was followed by an in-depth talk on optimizing IDEXX’s ProCyte One and hematology through the Making Best Use of the 5-part Differentials discussion given by Professional Services Veterinarian Ms. Pimsiri Piromkij.

Attendees got to ask their questions through a real-time question and answer segment after each lecture and they also enjoyed a delicious dinner by Millie’s All-Day Dining. Before the event ended, the MAN Pharma team lead a fun and interactive activity for the guests, testing their newly learned knowledge from tonight’s lecture series.

1. Ear Infection

Ear infections can affect any dog breed, particularly dogs with floppy ears like beagles and bloodhounds. The primary causes of ear infections are bacteria and yeast. The bacteria and yeast live and thrive due to moisture, excess cleaning, allergies, wax buildup, and the dog’s ear injuries. It can lead to deafness and even paralysis when left untreated.

Common symptoms include itchiness, head shaking, ear discharges, redness, pain, and odor. Treating ear infections requires veterinary examination and can take up to 2 weeks before healing completely. Antibiotics and ear drops may be prescribed to help with the healing process.

2. Allergies

Like humans, dogs can also experience allergies. These allergies could be skin, food, and acute allergic reactions. Allergy symptoms include itchiness, itchy ears, vomiting, diarrhea, sneezing, itchy eyes, inflamed skin, constant licking, and face, ears, and lip swelling.

Treating allergies requires vet examinations diagnosing a specific allergy. Prescribed medication can help alleviate pain and suppress allergies.

3. Worms

The most common disease in dogs is brought by worms. They are intestinal parasites that can cause digestive system infestation. There are four types of worms that can infect dogs: Roundworms, Whipworms, Hookworms, and Tapeworms.

Detecting worm infestation in dogs is looking out for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, a dull coat, itchiness, skin irritation, scratching using the ground or hard surfaces, presence of worms in the dogs’ feces, pot belly, and coughing.

Your veterinarian will prescribe deworming medicine to help treat and prevent dog intestinal worms.

4. Urinary Tract Infection

UTI is a bacterial infection that occurs in the urinary tract. This can affect any dog and can have very adverse effects if not treated quickly.

Symptoms include bloody urine, urinal area licking, fever, pungent odor from urine, vomiting, change in appetite, increase in water consumption, frequent urination, and inability to urinate.

Your veterinarian will diagnose dogs with urinary tract infections after collecting and testing sterile urine samples. After the diagnosis, your veterinarian will prescribe the proper medication to help treat your dog’s infections.

5. Canine Distemper

This is a highly contagious virus caused by the paramyxovirus. This disease affects the gastrointestinal, respiratory, skin, immune, and central nervous systems of the dog resulting in a widespread infection that is difficult to treat, making it a potentially lethal disease.
Symptoms of canine distemper are:
– Fever
– Nose and eye discharge
– Lethargy
– Coughing and sneezing

6. Kennel Cough

Dogs can get this disease by inhaling bacteria and virus particles from other infected dogs or infectious places like daycare facilities, dogs’ parks, etc. Inhaling this bacterium can make your dog susceptible to contracting canine adenovirus, canine distemper virus, canine herpes virus, parainfluenza virus, and canine reovirus.
If a dog is infected with kennel cough, it may develop the following symptoms:
– Strong cough
– Runny nose
– Sneezing
– Lethargy
– Loss of appetite
– Low fever

Treating dogs with kennel cough is easy. Veterinarians will prescribe antibiotics and cough medication to ease symptoms and prevent secondary infections. While pet owners can prevent Kennel cough by vaccinating their dogs against this disease.

Ticks and fleas are the most common external parasites in dogs and cats worldwide. These parasites feed on the blood of their host and can cause irritating bites transmitting various diseases to your pets.

Animal fur provides a suitable environment for fleas and ticks to live. Both ticks and fleas can thrive in warmer months, but ticks can also adapt to survive in cold weather.

Despite the similarities, these two vastly different parasites can carry various diseases that affect your pets. Here is how you can detect and determine tick and flea bite dermatitis.

Detecting Tick Bite Dermatitis

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of animals like cats, dogs, and rats. Tick bites are often harmless. However, tick bites can cause allergic reactions, and some can even pass diseases on to humans and animals. Ticks inject an anesthetic into the skin at its point of entry, resulting in a painless tick bite. Ticks also burrow their head under the skin after one bite, feeding on their host for up to 10 days.

Identifying ticks in long-furred animals is difficult but possible. Ticks can grow up to 3-5 mm in length depending on sex, species, and fullness.

Tick bites will leave a small red bump on the site of the sting. Tick bites usually go away on their own in a few days. Animals infected with ticks will experience the following tick-borne illness symptoms:
– Itching
– Swelling
– Chewing and licking the infected area
– Fever/ chills
– Aches and pains
– Rashes

When left untreated, ticks can spread diseases that might endanger your pet and compromise their health. Several infections can occur from these bites are:
– Ehrlichia
– Subclinical Ehrlichiosis
– Acute Ehrlichiosis
– Clinical Ehrlichiosis
– Anaplasmosis
– Rocky Mountain spotted fever
– Lyme Disease
-Babesia

Detecting Flea Bite Dermatitis

Fleas are more common among cats and dogs. They are wingless, traveling from host to host by jumping. Detecting flea bites is crucial as there could be areas in the skin that may need treatment. Flea infestation usually causes unsightly skin irritations on pets.

When a flea bites its host, its saliva makes contact with the skin of its host, causing itchy and red bumps on the skin called flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).

The most effective way to determine whether your pets have flea allergy dermatitis is through a physical examination. Fleas may be difficult to locate, and they frequent the neck and chest area of cats and dogs. Veterinarians can look for flea feces instead to determine if there is an infestation.

This skin disease can result in extreme discomfort for pets and even cause painful infected skin lesions, uncontrollable itching, and dry skin.

Treatment and Prevention

Preventing and treating tick and flea infestation is not an easy task. Most home remedies will not altogether remove the parasite. Protecting your pets from ticks and fleas is vital to keeping your home clean. You can also ask your veterinarian to administer anti-tick and flea medications like Virbac’s Effipro Topical Pet Spray. This topical spray provides three months of protection against fleas and a month of anti-tick protection for your pets.

Diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by high blood sugar levels for an extended period. It is the result of improper blood sugar regulation caused by increased insulin resistance in the body. If left untreated, diabetes can become a source of several vision problems like diabetic retinopathy.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

This is caused by elevated levels of blood sugar blocking small blood vessels in the retina. This causes the body to develop newer but weaker blood vessels that can cause blood leaks in the eye. This disease affects up to 80% of people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Two Types of Diabetic Retinopathy

1. Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR): This is the primary stage of diabetic retinopathy. This occurs when small blood vessels leak fluids, causing the retina to swell or form exudates.

2. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy: This is the advanced stage of retinopathy and is the body’s attempt to save the retina. But instead, this often leads to scarring of the retina. Newer but weaker blood vessels begin to form on the retina to help supply blood.

1. This is more sensitive and can detect infections earlier.

Molecular Diagnostics is more sensitive in detecting lower amounts of infectious agents, therefore giving it the ability to detect infections earlier.
Detecting infections earlier is one of the selling points of Molecular Diagnostics. It is valuable since it can detect infectious materials even at the early stages of infections when the body hasn’t produced antibodies against the pathogen.

2. It can detect, analyze, and diagnose infections and can help doctors give the proper treatment to patients.

In testing for infectious diseases, this tests patients’ samples for illnesses and screens them for colonized or contaminated people. Once the attending physician analyzes the test results, he will then diagnose the patient with the condition and then monitors the course or spread of the infection.

Diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease described as having high levels of blood sugar levels. The main source of your body’s energy is the blood sugar levels that come from the food that you eat. Your body will produce a hormone called insulin that helps maintain your blood sugar levels. Diabetes occurs when your body does not produce enough or stops producing insulin.

Managing your diabetes is no easy task; constantly keeping track of your blood sugar level, watching what you eat, taking medications on time and so much more. But managing your diabetes is not too tedious. Here is how to make your daily diabetes management routine easier!

2. Keep Track of What You Eat

To maintain healthy blood pressure and healthy body weight, and to better manage their blood sugar levels, people with diabetes should maintain a healthy eating pattern. Specialists recommend eating:
– Green and leafy vegetables
– Legumes (ex. Chickpeas, low-salt baked beans, and kidney beans)
– High-fiber, low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates (ex. Wholegrain bread and cereal)
– Fruit
– Lean protein
– Reduced-fat dairy products

4. Become Active!

Getting regular physical activity can help you manage your blood sugar levels. Becoming physically active can make your body more sensitive to insulin. Aside from regulating your blood sugar levels, physical activity also minimizes the risk of heart diseases and nerve damage.

Here are some physical activities you can add to your daily routine:
– (Brisk) Walking
– Cycling
– Running
– Doing Household Chores

5. Check Your Feet!

Diabetes can reduce blood circulation and damage the nerves in your feet. Nerve damage can cause numbness, tingling, and pain in the feet. Nerve damage caused by diabetes can lead to infections or other serious outcomes (like amputation) if not treated properly.

Here are some tips you can add to your daily routine to keep your feet healthy:
– Check your feet for cuts, sores, or other small injuries every day
– Wash your feet every day (Avoid soaking your feet)
– Wear shoes that fit you well
– Wear socks when wearing closed-toe shoes
– Keep your blood flowing by moving your toes and your feet every day.
– When doing physical activities, try to choose foot-friendly activities.

Blood sugar levels should always be kept at proper levels. Blood sugar or Glucose is vital since it is your body’s source of energy. But too much of anything is extremely bad for you. You must keep your blood sugar at normal levels since having high levels can lead to more severe illnesses.

What is Hyperglycemia?

Hyperglycemia is when there is an excess of sugar in the blood. It occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin to lower blood sugar levels.
This can cause symptoms such as vomiting, excess thirst and hunger, problems in vision, and others. When left untreated, this can cause serious health problems.

What is the difference between Hyperglycemia and Diabetes?

Hyperglycemia is the result of your body delivering small amounts of insulin needed to prevent blood sugar levels from rising. Diabetes, on the other hand, is a medical condition caused by high-glucose levels throughout a significant period.

How to Prevent It?

People with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes can manage and even prevent hyperglycemia by having a healthier lifestyle. A healthier lifestyle means that people eat more nutritious food, participate in physical activities, and manage their stress better. Medical experts also advise people to avoid smoking and limit their alcohol intake since the latter can increase blood sugar levels.

1. Peripheral Neuropathy

Nerve pain caused by diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy is the result when the nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and the spinal cord to the rest of the body are damaged. This illness is severe and difficult to treat.

Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by numerous factors making it difficult to pinpoint the origin of the sickness. Diabetes is considered to be a factor but Peripheral neuropathy could also be caused by an environmental factor (ex. toxins, trauma, illnesses, or infections)

People with both diabetes and peripheral neuropathy should manage their blood sugar levels. Controlling your blood sugar can prevent the pain from worsening and improve your overall health.

2. Eye Problems

One of the common health conditions caused by diabetes is eye problems. These problems are the cause of high blood sugar levels. IF your blood sugar levels are high enough, it can damage the small blood vessels at the back of your eye. This can result in a leakage of fluid that can cause pain, swelling, pressure, and other problems.

– Diabetic Macular Edema: People with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes can develop this complication. This occurs when fluid builds up in the macula or the eye. The build-up can

– Early Diabetic Retinopathy: The most common form of Retinopathy, when you have this type of Retinopathy, the walls of the blood vessels in your retina will weaken. This can cause leakage in fluid and blood in your retina. If left untreated, this can cause permanent vision loss.

– Advanced Diabetic Retinopathy: This type of Retinopathy is more severe. The damaged blood vessels in your retina will close off. This can cause the growth of new, weaker blood vessels. These weak blood vessels can leak a clear jelly-like substance that can fill the center of your eye.
The growth of the new blood vessels can lead to the detachment of your retina from the back of your eye.

– Glaucoma: Glaucoma damages the eye’s optic nerve: a part of the eye that provides information to the brain. This condition is one of the leading causes of blindness. Glaucoma is common in older adults but can also occur at any age.

– Cataracts: Cataracts can cause the clouding of the eye lens. Cataracts develop slowly and can interfere with your vision. If left untreated, this condition can cause gradual vision loss.

3. Skin Conditions

– Itching: If caused by poor blood flow, those affected will feel the itch in their lower legs or feet.

– Bacterial Infections: This is more common in people with diabetes. The bacteria can cause boils when the hair follicle is irritated.

– Acanthosis Nigricans: Most common in people with type 2 diabetes. This mostly affects people who are overweight. It causes the skin to become dark and thick. It can be found on the armpit, back of the neck, and groin.

– Vitiligo: Most common in type 1 diabetes patients This condition affects the patient’s skin color. The melanin in your body is destroyed: resulting in discolored patches of skin.

Dogs are one of the most beloved pets in the world. As man’s best friend, dogs are adored by both the young and the old. Any dog owner should be aware of the most common dog diseases and their symptoms so these diseases can be prevented or treated.

1. Ear Infection

Common symptoms include itchiness, head shaking, ear discharges, redness, pain, and odor. Treating ear infections requires veterinary examination and can take up to 2 weeks before healing completely. Antibiotics and ear drops may be prescribed to help with the healing process.

2. Allergies

Like humans, dogs can also experience allergies. These allergies could be skin, food, and acute allergic reactions. Allergy symptoms include itchiness, itchy ears, vomiting, diarrhea, sneezing, itchy eyes, inflamed skin, constant licking, and face, ears, and lip swelling.

Treating allergies requires vet examinations diagnosing a specific allergy. Prescribed medication can help alleviate pain and suppress allergies.

3. Worms

The most common disease in dogs is brought by worms. They are intestinal parasites that can cause digestive system infestation. There are four types of worms that can infect dogs: Roundworms, Whipworms, Hookworms, and Tapeworms.

Detecting worm infestation in dogs is looking out for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, a dull coat, itchiness, skin irritation, scratching using the ground or hard surfaces, presence of worms in the dogs’ feces, pot belly, and coughing.

Your veterinarian will prescribe deworming medicine to help treat and prevent dog intestinal worms.

4. Urinary Tract Infection

UTI is a bacterial infection that occurs in the urinary tract. This can affect any dog and can have very adverse effects if not treated quickly.

Symptoms include bloody urine, urinal area licking, fever, pungent odor from urine, vomiting, change in appetite, increase in water consumption, frequent urination, and inability to urinate.

Your veterinarian will diagnose dogs with urinary tract infections after collecting and testing sterile urine samples. After the diagnosis, your veterinarian will prescribe the proper medication to help treat your dog’s infections.

5. Canine Distemper

There are no sure ways to treat this disease, which makes it deadly. Veterinarians will prescribe antibiotics and vitamin supplements to help with the treatment of canine distemper.

6. Kennel Cough

Treating dogs with kennel cough is easy. Veterinarians will prescribe antibiotics and cough medication to ease symptoms and prevent secondary infections. While pet owners can prevent Kennel cough by vaccinating their dogs against this disease.

7. Ticks and Fleas

These parasites bite and cause an infestation in dogs that can lead to itching, dermatitis, and other serious infections. To learn more about tick and flea bite dermatitis, you can read this article: Detecting Tick and Flea Bite Dermatitis – MAN Pharma

Ticks and fleas are the most common external parasites in dogs and cats worldwide. These parasites feed on the blood of their host and can cause irritating bites transmitting various diseases to your pets.

Animal fur provides a suitable environment for fleas and ticks to live. Both ticks and fleas can thrive in warmer months, but ticks can also adapt to survive in cold weather.

Despite the similarities, these two vastly different parasites can carry various diseases that affect your pets. Here is how you can detect and determine tick and flea bite dermatitis.

Detecting Tick Bite Dermatitis

Identifying ticks in long-furred animals is difficult but possible. Ticks can grow up to 3-5 mm in length depending on sex, species, and fullness.

Detecting Flea Bite Dermatitis

Fleas are more common among cats and dogs. They are wingless, traveling from host to host by jumping. Detecting flea bites is crucial as there could be areas in the skin that may need treatment. Flea infestation usually causes unsightly skin irritations on pets.

When a flea bites its host, its saliva makes contact with the skin of its host, causing itchy and red bumps on the skin called flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).

The most effective way to determine whether your pets have flea allergy dermatitis is through a physical examination. Fleas may be difficult to locate, and they frequent the neck and chest area of cats and dogs. Veterinarians can look for flea feces instead to determine if there is an infestation.

This skin disease can result in extreme discomfort for pets and even cause painful infected skin lesions, uncontrollable itching, and dry skin.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

This is caused by elevated levels of blood sugar blocking small blood vessels in the retina. This causes the body to develop newer but weaker blood vessels that can cause blood leaks in the eye. This disease affects up to 80% of people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Two Types of Diabetic Retinopathy

1. Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR): This is the primary stage of diabetic retinopathy. This occurs when small blood vessels leak fluids, causing the retina to swell or form exudates.

2. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy: This is the advanced stage of retinopathy and is the body’s attempt to save the retina. But instead, this often leads to scarring of the retina. Newer but weaker blood vessels begin to form on the retina to help supply blood.

Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy

Factors That Increase the Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy

Anyone with diabetes can develop this disease. The risk of developing this disease can increase because of long-time diabetes, poor control of blood sugar Level, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, pregnancy, and regular tobacco use.
