Tackling MRSA in animals and humans
By Shadrach on Mar 6, 2006 in Dog Aromatherapy, Dog Health - Immune System
Arrrooo fellow pets and humans! This is a subject I get my hackles up over. Why? Bepaws it can be prevented with proper hygiene in veterinary hospitals AND strongly supported immune systems in us pets through proper feeding and nutrition. Our human caregivers MUST do their part but so MUST the veterinary medical community. Mom is the USA Representative for The Bella Moss Foundation and Pets MRSA which is fighting for a standard protocol in hygiene for all veterinary medicine hospitals AND educating the public, WOOF!

THE emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a veterinary disease and the increasing prevalence of MRSA in humans were discussed at a seminar held at the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) in London on October 26. Entitled `Killer Staph – just media hype or a real problem?’, the aim of the seminar, which was organised by the RSM’s Comparative Medicine Section, was to discuss recent research on MRSA and its current status in humans and animals.The presentations, given by speakers from the medical and veterinary fields, highlighted that MRSA was a genuine problem, which could not be dismissed as media hype, and that collaboration between the medical and the veterinary professions was vital to help identify, control and treat infections.

If you can, please go to The Bella Moss Foundation to help support this cause and PREVENT MRSA. It could be your pet who is infected just because they had the misfortune of needing to be hospitalized.
