Dear AVH Clients:

Argyle Veterinary Hospital is pleased to announce the installation of the industry’s leading digital radiography (DR) technology, the RapidStudy DR system from Eklin Medical Systems. We would like to offer you the availability of this new radiography technology to assist in the diagnoses and treatment of your horses.

Just as digital cameras have revolutionized photography, the Eklin RapidStudy DR system provides us with a radiographic image that can be viewed within seconds on a high- resolution monitor without need for film development. The Eklin DR system also offers sophisticated image processing tools, providing us with much greater depth of information which can be enlarged or manipulated for far better detail. Images can be stored, archived or sent to you for further evaluation using the Eklin PACS (pictures archiving and communication system), which we based on DICOM standards used by hospitals and clinics around the world.

In addition, AVH is equally proud to announce that Dr. Mark Crabill formerly of Lone Star Park will be available for consultation and elective surgery by appointment, effective December 1, 2007. We feel strongly that the addition of this state of the art diagnostic capability, in conjunction with our new equine surgical suite greatly enhances our ability to provide complete medical and surgical care to your horse. Regardless of the service you need, we know how important it is for your horse to regain its health and athletic ability. We are committed to the healthcare of your horse and finding timely medical solutions.

Please call us at 940.464.3231 if you have any further questions or whenever we can be of assistance to you.

Best regards,
John F. Bitter DVM, CEO




Health Spotlight
The Healing Power of Dogs

Dogs may play a larger role in health than realized. (Viktor Korotayev/Reuters)

Dogs have long had special standing in the medical world. Trained to see for the blind, hear for the deaf and move for the immobilized, dogs have become indispensable companions for people with disabilities.

But dogs appear to be far more than four-legged health care workers. Over the years, data on the larger role dogs play in health has trickled out from various corners of the world. One Japanese study found pet owners made 30 percent fewer visits to doctors. A Melbourne study of 6,000 people showed that owners of dogs and other pets had lower cholesterol, blood pressure and heart attack risk compared with people who didn’t have pets. Obviously, the better health of pet owners could be explained by a variety of factors, but many experts believe companion animals improve health at least in part by lowering stress.

Dogs, in particular, also have been shown to do remarkable things to improve the health of their owners. There are stories of dogs warning their owners of imminent health threats. In 2003, University of Florida researchers published a report in the journal Seizure noting that some dogs seem to have an innate ability to detect impending seizures. A 2000 report in the British Medical Journal examined case studies of dogs alerting people with diabetes of a coming hypoglycemic episode.

More recently, some studies have suggested dogs can be cancer detectors. In 2006, the medical journal Integrative Cancer Therapies reported how ordinary house dogs could identify breast and lung cancer patients by smelling their breath. A University of Maine study is testing whether dogs can sniff out ovarian cancer.

The role dogs play in medicine is celebrated in a new book, “Paws & Effect: The Healing Power of Dogs’’ (Alyson Books, 2007), which chronicles the numerous ways dogs contribute to our health. Author Sharon Sakson is a journalist and television producer, dog breeder and American Kennel Club dog-show judge. She admits to being biased about her subject matter, and she tends to write about the mundane details of dogs and their owners. Much of the evidence surrounding dogs and health is anecdotal, although Ms. Sakson includes many references to published research. The stories of service dogs are particularly impressive, as is the nascent research into dogs’ ability to detect cancer.

Ms. Sakson said she first began thinking about the link between dogs and health while reporting an earlier book on men and dogs. A few men she interviewed who had AIDS credited their dogs with playing a role in their improved health.

While Ms. Sakson says more studies are needed to show exactly what role dogs play in health, any dog owner already knows the benefits of their relationship with their pet.

“I went into it because I loved my dogs — they can do so much for our society,'’ said Ms. Sakson. “There’s no question they give us emotional support.'’
