Heather Sheppard+FollowWhat’s an everyday product you think will be banned in the future for health reasons?I’ll start. Single-use vapes. Absolute nightmare for health and the planet. Also, those oil plug-in air fresheners! Terrible for animals. Seriously, who else knew that minoxidil (yep, Rogaine) is extremely poisonous for cats and dogs? Our neighbors thought their cat was deliberately poisoned, but the vet suspects it was minoxidil exposure. #Health #AnimalHealth #Healthcare #VapeFacts #AirFreshenerFail #Minoxidil #RogaineDanger #HealthMatters 10Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowWhy the USDA Just Banned Cattle ImportsHeads up, animal lovers and outdoor adventurers: a flesh-eating fly called the screwworm is making a comeback after 60 years. This bug’s larvae can burrow into wounds of pets, livestock, and even people, causing serious pain. The USDA is so worried, they’ve hit pause on cattle, horse, and bison imports from Mexico. If you’re around animals or spend time outside, keep an eye on cuts and report anything weird—early action can save a lot of trouble! #AnimalHealth #USDA #Livestock #MoneyLifehacks #ConsumerAlert #Business222Share
aguilarallison+FollowBird Flu Isn’t Just for Birds AnymoreH5N1 bird flu is making headlines again—and not in a good way. The first U.S. death just happened, and experts are worried because this virus keeps mutating and jumping to new animals (even cows!). Most people get it from close contact with infected birds or animals, but now dairy workers and even cats are at risk. The scary part? It’s getting better at infecting humans, and the mortality rate is no joke. Stay alert, especially if you’re around animals! #BirdFlu #H5N1 #HealthNews #PublicHealth #AnimalHealth #Health00Share
William Vasquez+FollowBird Flu May Be Airborne in Cows?!Turns out, bird flu isn’t just a poultry problem anymore—dairy cows are catching it, and researchers at CSU think it might be spreading through the air, not just milking machines! The virus has hit nearly 1,000 herds in 17 states, and figuring out how it moves is key to stopping it. The wild part? Cows can shed the virus before they even look sick, and the wind might be carrying it from farm to farm. Pasteurized milk is still safe, but this is one to watch! #BirdFlu #DairyCattle #CSUResearch #AnimalHealth #FarmNews #Health101Share
Brandon Chambers+Followhow do you handle a farm animal passing away? asking for helpSo, we’ve got an older horse, and while everything’s fine for now, I’m starting to think ahead about what we’d do if something serious happens—injury or even death. 😔 We’ve got a great vet who comes onsite, so that’s an option, but I’m curious how others on farms deal with this kind of situation? Do you have a process in place for large animals? What about burial or other end-of-life care? I’d love to hear how you’ve managed these tough moments, especially when it’s an animal that’s been with you for so long. #farmcare #animalhealth #horses783Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowFlorida Vet Hospital Makes History!Did you hear? A Tampa vet hospital just became the 8th in the US to offer a cutting-edge heart procedure for pets—TEER! Plus, a new H5N1 vaccine showed 100% protection in trials, and there’s a big push to honor veterinary heroes (nominations are open!). Also, did you know 129 million Americans live in 'vet deserts' with limited pet care access? Oh, and shoutout to vet receptionists—this week is all about them! #VetNews #PetCare #VetHeroes #AnimalHealth #Innovation #Health90Share
