What’s happening at WSU Pullman?
Genetic test detects early signs of kidney disease in cats
With a swab of their cat’s cheek, pet owners can now determine if their cat is at high risk of developing one of the most common chronic diseases years before any clinical signs emerge, and it could allow them to take measures to prolong their cat’s life.
Blue-green algae poses deadly risk to pets during summer heat
Exposure to blue-green algae — or cyanobacteria — can kill pets in as little as 15–20 minutes. Animals can be exposed to blue-green algae and its toxins by simply contacting any affected water body.
Disease-causing bacteria can deal with stink as long as they get a meal
Bacteria that cause intestinal infections typically avoid a stinky chemical — one that can kill them at high enough concentrations — inside human intestines, but they may actually swim toward it when a hearty meal is the reward.
