SOME MEDICAL
TERMINOLOGY FOR
PET OWNERS
An informed pet owner is a
better pet owner, and
understanding some basic
medical terms can help you
to stay informed. Here is a
sampling of terms that could
prove useful in reading about
your pet and discussing his
health with your veterina
rian.
The term “clinical” refers
to a condition that you can
see or measure easily. A
“clinical diagnosis” is one
based on outward, recogniz
able signs. Changes in a pet’s
behavior, loss of appetite,
fever or paralysis are, for
example, clinical signs of
disease. A “laboratory diag
nosis” on the other hand, is
one that is based on an
evaluation of tissue or
material taken from the
animal, such as blood or
urine samples.
Diseases and conditions
that attack your pet may be
“acute” or “chronic.” Acute
symptoms are severe and
immediately noticeable.
Chronic problems may or
may not be clinically
apparent, but they recur
frequently and continue for a
long period of time.
Your veterinarian may use
terms to describe your pet’s
condition which have endings
such as “itis” or “osis.”
“Itis” usually means inflam
mation. Otitis is an ear
inflammation and tracheo
bronchitis is an inflamma
tion of the upper respiratory
tract, also known as kennel
cough. Conjunctivitis is an
inflammation of the lining of
the eye.
“Osis,” on the other hand,
refers to a disease condition
that will usually get worse
without treatment. A dog
with parasitosis is infected
with parasites such as
worms, for example.
Your veterinarian may
indicate that your pet’s
disease is “infectious,”
which means that germs or
viruses causing the disease
can be transferred from one
pet to another. An “organic”
disease, on the other hand, is
not caused by germs or
viruses, but originates within
the animal itself and may be
inherited. Canine distemper
is an infectious disease that
is caused by a virus. Canine
hip dysplasia is a hereditary
organic condition that in
volves improper develop
ment of the ball-and-socket
joint of the hip.
To summarize the points
we have made, your dog
could exhibit “clinical” signs
that include intense scratch
ing with crusts developing
over areas of dry, thickened
skin. Your veterinarian may
take a scraping of the
affected area and observe it
under a microscope to arrive
at a "laboratory diagnosis.”
He might identify a certain
mite that has burrowed into
the pet’s skin causing a kind
of “dermatosis.”
Your veterinarian could
then prescribe an effective
treatment, asking you to
confine your pet until the
troublesome disease is
cured, since it is highly “in
fectious.”

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA
Independent Business Leaders
Like Jack Flynt’s Vote Record
Washington, D. C. - In a
recent ceremony on Capitol
Hill. Rep. John J. Flynt, Jr.,
!>.). of the 6th District of
Georgia received the
"Guardian of Small Busi
ness” award presented by
the National Federation of
Independent Business
(NFIB).
Rep. Flynt qualified for the
NFIB "Guardian” award by
voting on the side of small
business 70 percent of the
time during the 94th Con
gress.
NFIB president Wilson S.
Johnson, in conferring the
award on Rep. Flynt noted,
“We initiated our NFIB
evaluation system to give
special recognition to those
legislators who support small
business and who have the
courage to stand up and vote
against the. pressures of big
labor and big business: the
small businessman’s great
es’ competitors for the ear of
Congress.”
Johnson continued, “NFIB
polls its 464,000 member
firms nationwide every six
weeks to determine the
membership’s opinions on
specific issues and establish
the organization’s legislative
position. NFIB regards a 70
percent or higher rating on
key small business issues
worthy of the ’Guardian’
helpful in discussing your
pet’s problems with your
veterinarian. Feel free to ask
him about other terms you
may not understand, because
he appreciates an informed
client. Your veterinarian will
explain the situation in terms
you can understand, helping
you to be a better informed
pet owner.
award. Too many congress
men go back home claiming
to support small business
simply because they voted
for a Small Business Admini
stration appropriations bill.
We feel our membership
deserves to know how their
representatives voted on
each of the issues which are
of direct importance to small
business.”

There’s no reason why our
government can’t be
concerned with our needs.
For the past eight years, our government has turned
its back on the American people. A political and
economic elite have shaped decisions and never had
to account for mistakes nor suffer from injustice. The
test of any government is not how popular it is with
the powerful, but how honestly and fairly it deals with
the many who must depend on it. We must have a
government that recognizes and alleviates our needs
in health care, education, housing, unemployment, aid
to the elderly, environmental protection, and others.
With Jimmy Carter as our President, those needs
will be met with compassion and respect.
“I hope our 1,100 NFIB
members in the 6th District
will take note of Rep. Flynt’s
voting record and realize
they have someone in
Washington who is aware of
the problems facing small
business and who is trying to
make sure that the small and
independent businessman re
ceives fair representation in
Congress,” Johnson conclud

There’s no reason why our
Jovemment can’t work
iciently and effectively.
We can no longer drift along with a complicated con
fused, overlapping and wasteful federal bureaucracy.
As President. Jimmy Carter will establish efficient,
economical, purposeful and manageable methods of
operation. He will see that business, labor, agriculture,
education, science and government do not struggle
in isolation from one another, but strive toward mutual
goals and shared opportunities. With aggressive new
Democratic leadership, we can bring order out
of chaos.
