vet hospital :: Article Creator Video: Army Vet Falls Nearly 100 Feet In Major Accident A U.S. Army veteran was recently injured in a significant paramotor accident. Footage recorded from the incident shows the veteran falling almost 100 feet to the ground. When it comes to extreme sports, things can sometimes go wrong for even the most experienced.

(WYMT) - The Kentucky River Regional Animal Shelter in Perry County has dealt with overcrowding for a long time. However, Shelter President Tony Vaughn said it got so bad recently they had to stop taking in animals. He added the thought of euthanasia is not fair to the shelter pets. "You look in their eyes and you think about putting them down," Vaughn said. "I just don't know if I can do that." The shelter is currently home to more than 250 dogs. He said it is a problem that spiked following a local hoarding case WYMT shared earlier this year, and now, Vaughn said they are calling on the community to help. "They deserve better than this.

list of viral diseases in animals :: Article Creator How Bird Flu Virus Fragments Get Into Milk Sold In Stores, And What The Spread Of H5N1 In Cows Means For The Dairy Industry And Milk Drinkers The discovery of fragments of avian flu virus in milk sold in U.S. Stores, including in about 20% of samples in initial testing across the country, suggests that the H5N1 virus may be more widespread in dairy cattle than previously realized. The Food and Drug Administration, which announced the early results from its nationally representative sampling on April 25, 2024, was quick to stress that it believes the commercial milk supply is safe. The FDA said initial tests did not detect any live, infectious virus. However, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus can make cows sick, and the flu virus's presence in herds in several states and new federal restrictions on the movement of dairy cows between states are putting economic pressure on farmers.
