Did you know what is Parvo?

Did you know what is Parvo?Parvo is a common and potentially serious viral disease in dogs. The virus is officially known Parvovirus. The disease caused by this virus is commonly referred to as Parvo. The virus first appeared clinically in 1978, and there was a widespread epidemic in dogs of all ages. Since no dogs had been exposed or vaccinated (the vaccine didn't exist at the time), dogs of all ages died from the infection. The virus can "adapt" over time, and other strains of the virus have appeared since then, but properly administered vaccinations are the best protection. Canine Parvovirus is thought to be a mutation from the feline Parvovirus, also known as Feline Distemper virus.

Did you know what are the signs seen with Parvovirus infection?
There are three main manifestations of Parvovirus infection:

1. Asymptomatic - No signs seen. Common in dogs over 1 year old and vaccinated dogs.
2. Cardiac - This form of the disease is much less common than the intestinal form due to widespread vaccination. Severe inflammation and necrosis (cell death), of the heart muscle causes breathing difficulty and death in very young (<8>
3. Intestinal - This virus causes extreme damage to the intestinal tract, causing sloughing of the cells that line the tract. This can leave the patient open to secondary bacterial infection. Most of the affected dogs (85%) are less than one year old and between 6-20 weeks old -- before the full set of vaccinations can be given. The death rate from infection is reported to be 16-35% in this age group.*

The intestinal signs include:

• Lethargy
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Diarrhea - usually bloody, and very foul-smelling (a characteristic odor, particular to Parvovirus infection)
• Fever

The onset of clinical signs is usually sudden, often 12 hours or less. The incubation from exposure to seeing the clinical signs varies from 3 to 10 days.

Did you know if you catch Parvo as soon as the puppy quits eating or starts throwing up, you may have a chance to save his or her life?

1) Buy a Turkey Baster.

2) Buy Pedilite.

3) Here is the key every hour to two hours give the puppy a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce of Pedilite. Keeping the dog hydrated will give the dog a chance to fight the virus.

4) Make sure that the dog has had the shot with the treatment.

5) Most important, the longer that you wait the less chances you have for your dog surving

Did you know that Paul Ruben is Pee Wee Herman?

Did you know this Paul Ruben Trivia?

Did you know:

Paul Reubens is Pee-wee Herman .

Paul Rubenfeld was born August 27, 1952 in Peekskill, New York, and grew up in Sarasota, Florida, where his parents, Judy and Milton, owned a lamp store.

Reubens performed at local comedy clubs and made four guest appearances on The Gong Show.

He soon joined the Los Angeles-based improvisational comedy team The Groundlings and remained a member for six years, working with Bob McClurg, John Paragon, Susan Barnes, and Phil Hartman.

Hartman helped him developed the “Pee-wee Herman” character.

In 1977, The Groundlings staged a performance in which its members created characters that one might see in a comedy club. Paul decided to play a guy that everyone immediately knew would never make it as a comic, partly because Reubens couldn’t remember jokes in real life – he had trouble remembering punch lines and couldn’t properly piece information in sequential order. This performance gave birth to the Pee-wee Herman persona.

Reubens has a sister,[3] Abby Rubenfeld, a prominent Tennessee attorney and adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University Law School [4], who is the former chair of the Individual Rights and Responsibilities section of the American Bar Association [5] [6] and of the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association.

Reubens auditioned for Saturday Night Live for the 1980-1981 season, but wasn’t accepted into the cast. Instead, he started a stage show with the Herman character.

Originally“Pee-wee” character was later toned down from raucous nightclub to children’s television.

The stage show was popularized by HBO when The Pee-wee Herman Show aired in 1981.

In 1980, Reubens landed a minor role in the film The Blues Brothers as a waiter.[8] That same year, he also had a slightly bigger role in the Disney film Midnight Madness. He also appeared in Cheech & Chong’s 1981 film Nice Dreams, as an ill-mannered receptionist who is found by Chong snorting cocaine under a restaurant table. Reubens’ character asks Chong, “You’re the guy from the hamburger train, right?” (this line is later sampled by the rock group Primus in their song “Hamburger Train“). Reubens also appeared in Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie (1980) and Meatballs Part II (1984).

While on a Warner Bros. set, Reubens noticed that most of the people rode around on bicycles, and asked when he would get his. Warner Bros. presented him with a refurbished 1940s Schwinn; Reubens then abandoned the Pee-wee Herman script he was writing in favor of one about Herman’s love for his bike and his efforts to locate it once it was stolen. Hartman, Reubens, and Michael Varhol co-wrote the script for Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, and in 1985 the film, directed by Tim Burton and scored by Danny Elfman, was released. Reubens was the originator of the “Pee-wee dance” in the movie, and he had performed it publicly many times prior to the making of the film.

The following year (1986), Pee-wee (along with Hartman) found a home on the small screen with the Saturday-morning children’s program Pee-wee’s Playhouse on the American CBS network for the next five years (Shirley Stoler, Johann Carlo, Gilbert Lewis, and Roland Rodriguez only appeared on the show for the first 13 episodes before their characters were dropped from the show). In the case of Lewis, he was fired and a new actor, William Marshall, was hired to play the King of Cartoons. The show starred Pee-wee living in a wild and wacky house, known as the Playhouse, full of talking chairs, animals, robots, and other puppet and human characters.

That during the time Pee-wee’s Playhouse airing, it garnered 22 Emmy Awards.

In 1988, Reubens reprised the role of Pee-wee Herman in a sequel to Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, entitled Big Top Pee-wee. Also that year, “Pee-wee” was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On July 26, 1991, Reubens was arrested in Sarasota, Florida for masturbating publicly in an adult theater during a screening of Nurse Nancy.

The news media went into a frenzy and the scandal marked the near-death of the character “Pee-wee Herman,” reducing both the actor and the persona to a ubiquitous punchline. Although the series Pee-wee’s Playhouse had already ended by that time, CBS reacted by dropping its reruns from their lineup. Reubens made a deal with the Sarasota County court: in exchange for a fine and producing a few PSAs, he was given a clean record.
Despite the negative publicity and backlash from CBS, many spoke out in support of Reubens. Bill Cosby defended Reubens, saying “Whatever (Reubens has) done, this is being blown all out of proportion.” Reubens’ fans also organized rallies of support. According to Entertainment Weekly, “several dozen vocal Pee-weeites picketed in L.A. and New York [a week later], and 250 demonstrated in San Francisco the following day.” Supportive fans chanted, “All we are saying is give Pee-wee a chance!”[9][10]

2002
Reubens was arrested again in 2002 in connection with an investigation involving child pornography. Public news stories concerning his case cast doubt upon the suggestion that Reubens intentionally acquired child pornography, as he stated that he was a collector of “erotic artwork” and that he had a sizable collection of vintage erotica with samples dating back to the 18th century.

On March 19, 2004, child pornography charges against him were dropped by Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo after Reubens pleaded guilty to a separate “misdemeanor obscenity” charge.
