Managing the health needs of a dog or cat can be challenging, but a new App that we just learned about will help to make this so much easier. It’s called the Purina Pet Health App. This app is available for those with Android and iPhone operating systems on their phone or device.

Are your pet’s medical records nothing more than a bundle of receipts and papers? You can enter and store important medical information for each of your pets and keep it handy for future veterinary visits and easy reference. Are you so busy that you often forget to set up, or get to, appointments for your pet? You can use the App to set up reminders for your groomer or veterinary appointments.

Do you travel with your pet? Have you ever thought about what you would do if you had an emergency on the road and wanted to locate the nearest animal hospital or veterinarian? This app will find the closest facility should an emergency arise while you are on the road with your pet. Here is an image of the first “page” of the app. It will give you only a small idea of the power of this tool:

If this pet care App sounds like something that would make life easier for you and your pet, you can click and download here. My owner has Android on her tablet…it’s not a phone, so we’re off to see if there is an Android version of the Purina Pet Health App that is compatible with her device…it’s a lot of work keeping up with the health and wellness of an aging Yorkie.

Pzi Insulin is Often Effective Treatment for Diabetic Cats

Aspen | Cats,Diabetes in Pets,Veterinarian | Sunday, 20 February 2011

Diabetes is not a medical condition that only affects humans, even dogs, cats and other animals can develop the disease. Just like a person, an animal that has this high blood sugar disease needs to receive the proper treatment for it so the illness can be effectively managed. Unfortunately, the type of insulin (hormone that is vital for metabolizing glucose) medication that people are provided does not always successfully treat animals. That said, various types of veterinary insulins, known as PZI insulin, have been created, which have proven to be effective for animals, particularly felines.

Protamine Zinc Insulin (PZI) helps regulate the natural release of insulin in a cat’s body. It is very similar to the medication that humans use, but PZI insulin tends to either be a combination of pork/beef insulin or a beef-derived insulin and is closer in molecular structure to a cat’s or dog’s own insulin.

This medication is not available at regular human pharmacies, but can be found at a compounding pharmacy. It comes in different dosages and the lower the dosage the less of the hormone ingredient is in the medicine. The type of PZI insulin that should be obtained depends on what type of formula the cat responds to best. Regular veterinarian monitoring and testing will help make this determination.
