To help get these older animals out of shelters and into homes, November has been designated as Adopt a Senior Pet Month.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Puddles of piddle, scraps of leather from your favorite shoes, a hole in the new sofa ... just a few of the surprises that some pet owners come home to everyday. So what makes our usually mild-mannered dogs turn into tornados of destruction while we are gone? The answer may be more than just mischief. Many dogs experience mild to moderate separation anxiety. Fortunately for pet owners, there are solutions. In this podcast, Dr. Julia Albright, a veterinary behaviorist at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, talks about pet separation anxiety.]]></itunes:summary>

			<description><![CDATA[Cats are the most popular pet in the United States, outnumbering dogs 82 million to 72 million. Yet cats are only half as likely as their canine counterparts to visit the veterinarian. There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that cats are better at hiding illness or injury better than dogs. Another reason is that cats can make visits to the veterinarian downright unpleasant. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this podcast, Dr. Diane Eigner, director of the Cat Doctor in Philadelphia and past-president of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, talks about stress-free veterinary visits for cats.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's not an uncommon problem among cat owners: Just as you're settling into sleep you're awoken by the thundering of cat paws racing around the house, jumping over furniture or batting at toys. Or, less subtle cats might spend the night meowing on your bed, nipping at your toes, or walking on your face. Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the CATalyst Council and past president of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, offers tips on how to keep our otherwise nocturnal cats on the day shift.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Food and family are two very important components of all of our lives, and that certainly goes for our pets as well. It's no wonder that they're so eager to join us when we gather around the table for dinner. And it's hard to say no to those wide eyes or persistent paws encouraging us to share from our plates. But this behavior can quickly turn from endearing to annoying, and once established, it can be hard to stop. Animal behaviorist Dr. Sophia Yin talks about how we may inadvertently train our pets to beg for food ... and how we can get them to stop.]]></description>

But the clinical signs, including reluctance to perform tasks or activities, are similar regardless of the pet's age. If left untreated, osteoarthritis can produce an irritable, reclusive, and uncomfortable pet, so it's important for owners to be aware of its signs, as well as ways to prevent it&#8212;or, at least, minimize their pet's risk--and treat their beloved pets if they do develop the disorder.

According to a report published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 40 percent of the millions of dogs relinquished to shelters each year are surrendered because of unacceptable behaviors. In addition, countless healthy dogs are put down every year because of behavior problems that, according to veterinary behaviorist Dr. Karen Lynn Sueda, could be prevented through early-age intervention and treatment.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In early 2004, greyhounds at Florida racetracks began getting sick with an unusual illness, which testing later revealed to be a new form of influenza normally found in horses. This new canine influenza quickly spread out of the racetrack and shelter settings of Florida to infect nearly 100 percent of dogs exposed to it in several states across the country. While it mostly causes mild symptoms, if any, it can cause severe illness ... even death. Dr. Cynda Crawford, a veterinary immunologist at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, and part of the group that originally identified the virus, discusses canine influenza.]]></description>
