Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, May 21, 2014 Dogs ... Continued from A - 1 Early and vigorous veterinary treatment is required to save lives. Because the disease causes severe dehydration, early intravenous fluid treatment is often critically needed. “If you suspect your dog has come into contact with or is sick from Par- vo, bring this animal to your vet im- mediately,” Petersen said. Parvo is contagious to dogs only (not to cats, livestock or people) and is transmitted through the stool of infected dogs. Dogs contract the vi- rus most commonly by sniffing sick dogs’ stool, though additionally, the Big ... Page A-9 virus is easily spread by hands, shoes and clothing. The virus is resistant to extremes of temperature and survives freezing and heat and cannot be killed by use of detergents, alcohol or com- mon disinfectants. Once infected, the degree of illness can range from mild to very severe, depending on the dog’s age and gen- eral condition. Factors such as stress, environment and parasites come into play, but as a rule, the disease is more severe in very young or old dogs, and in the Rottweiler, Pitbull and Dober- man breeds. Puppies under two months are es- pecially vulnerable - and until a pup has received all recommended vac- cinations, they should not be taken out in public. All puppies should get three vaccinations, beginning at seven weeks of age. Until this series of shots is complete, places to avoid include parks, river banks, rest areas, towns, sidewalks, and even friends’ homes. Some breeds will require four vaccinations while still puppies and then at one year of age, and then again, in three years. “Anytime puppies are brought into veterinary clinics, it is always a good idea to carry them in, and don’t allow them to walk around in the parking lots, yards or grassy areas,” Petersen said. “Inside the clinic at Dr. Joe’s we have excellent sanitation protocols and standards, but with Parvo around, because it so contagious, it’s better to not allow puppies to walk around outside where any dog may have def- ecated.” Some people have mistakenly ex- pressed the idea that this current Par- vo outbreak is at the veterinary clinic - and that taking their dogs to the clin- ic might be risky. But this view puts the cart before the horse, according to Petersen. The Parvo virus is circulat- ing throughout the community and the sick dogs are brought to the clinic for treatment, she said. “If you’re deathly ill, do you avoid the hospital because there are sick people there?” asks Petersen. “Dogs are not catching Parvo at our clinic, they’re catching and spreading it out in the community. Dogs with Parvo who don’t get treatment may have a poor chance for survival.” Continued from A - 1 “We don’t really know what we are going to do each year, right now we are just building a community network,” said Warner of the concept of The Big Idea. Not only does the pro- gram focus on the students but their families as well. United Way of Jackson County believes that with a stronger community comes a stronger family. Stronger families have a better chance of beating the odds, per say. According to a flyer put out by United Way of Jackson County one in four families struggle with addic- tion. One in three children, or 67 percent, graduates high school in Jackson County. The school district has gone from producing C+ students to producing D students over the past 10 years. With those odds against students, the goal of The Big Idea is to rise above those odds and have every student in the class of 2020 graduate. In order for that goal to be met, families need to be- come stronger and united. The program accomplishes this with the help of government agencies, service clubs, non- profits and the schools. United Way of Jackson County offers programs such as free tax Redwood ... Continued from A - 1 Variety film critic Bill Edelstein describes “Redwood Highway” as “A perfectly fine walkabout through the scenic roadways and nearby woods of southern Oregon. Anchored by a warm, full-bodied turn by septuagenar- ian Shirley Knight as a spunky but troubled retirement-home resident and backed by fine support from vets Tom Skerritt and James Le Gros, the film delivers in high spirits and fine thespian what it lacks in dynamic tension and narrative consistency.” With well over a dozen nominations, Knight is the winner of a Golden Globe, Tony Award and three EMMY’s and the only With only 20 shirts col- lected, Warner knows she has a long way to go in a short amount of time. She is asking for the communities’ help in making a dream become a reality for some students. The deadline to donate a univer- sity T-shirt is May 24, 2014.
