Problem: Article: Dogs usually show their depression through their body language. Seeing your dog show symptoms of depression might be alarming, but it's normal for them to show these symptoms after a loss. However, if your dog continues to show signs of depression for longer than a month or your dog is behaving out of character, talk to your vet to discuss potential treatment options. Here are the common signs of canine depression:  Refusing to eat Refusing to engage in activities he once enjoyed A change in sleeping patterns (either sleeping more than usual or being unable to settle) A change in habits (for example, he no longer gets up to greet you upon your return home) Grief is a natural process that needs to be worked through, and numbing those feelings with medication is not the way ahead unless the depression goes on for several weeks. If, however, you have done everything right and three or four weeks down the line your dog still seems depressed, then it is worth getting him assessed by a veterinarian. One option he or she may suggest is a dog appeasing pheromone. This is marketed as Adaptil, and is available as a plug-in diffuser that infuses the pheromone into the air, or on a collar worn close to the dog's skin. Adaptil contains a synthetic analogue of the chemical messenger (pheromone) given off by a nursing doggy mom that makes her pups feel safe and content. The dog breathes the pheromone in and it activates feelings of safety and wellbeing. While this is not a quick fix, it can help to decrease anxiety levels in a stressed dog, which can help him turn a new corner and become more well-adjusted. Another option your vet may suggest is a prescription anti-depressant, usually reserved for when all else fails and the symptoms have lasted over a month. The anti-depressant medication that is licensed for use in dogs is called clomipramine, which is a tricyclic antidepressant. This works by blocking the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters (serotonin and norepinephrine) in the brain, which has an anti-anxiety effect.  The dose is 1-2mg/kg twice a day by mouth. Thus a 30kg Labrador requires half an 80mg tablet, twice a day. This drug does have side effects such as a dry mouth and constipation, and can increase the plasma levels of certain anti-epileptic drugs and so should be used with caution in these cases.
Summary: Learn to recognize canine depression. Talk to your vet about dog appeasing pheromones. Talk to your vet about prescription anti-depressants.

Problem: Article: You are welcome to use other colors, but white works best for snowmen. Avoid using ankle socks, they won't work.  This creates the bottom section of the snowman.  Repeat to create a slightly smaller middle section of snowman. Leave 4-5 inches (10-12.5cm) of space on the top. Make sure the sock snowman can "stand". Shape the head on three quarters with your hand.
Summary: Choose a white tube sock. Cut off the excess above the knot. Tie a rubber band tightly around the sock just above the beans or rice. Fill the top section of the snowman with cotton. Secure the top with a string or rubber band.

Problem: Article: Turmeric contains a powerful element called curcumin. Curcumin has been shown to ease indigestion because of its effect on the gallbladder. By prompting the gallbladder to produce more bile, curcumin can improve digestion and soothe the symptoms of bloating. Curcumin is also an effective anti-inflammatory. As such, it can help ease a wide range of medical conditions, from arthritis and psoriasis to chronic back or neck pain. Curcumin prevents the activation of the COX 2 gene, which produces an enzyme that can lead to painful inflammation. Turmeric has strong antibacterial properties, which can help heal cuts and protect them from infection. Heart disease is often caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries leading to the heart. Turmeric's anti-inflammatory elements improve blood circulation while also keeping your arteries clear from plaque. Using turmeric for healthy blood circulation can reduce your risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. Although there are no definitive studies on the role of turmeric as an inhibitor to cancer, preliminary results suggest that turmeric can slow or prevent the development of cancerous cells in the colon, prostrate and the lungs.  Populations in India have some of the lowest rates of cancer in these organs (13 times lower than in the United States). Many researchers believe spices such as turmeric in curry dishes are responsible for these low rates. Turmeric's strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are largely thought to be helpful in preventing cancer. Inflammation is often a factor in the development of cancerous tumor cells.  Do not attempt to cure cancer using only natural vitamins and herbs. If you have cancer, you should work with an oncologist for treatment.
Summary: Relieve indigestion. Reduce inflammation. Heal cuts and wounds. Prevent heart disease. Prevent cancer.
