Are most of us ordinary dog owners not communicating with our dogs enough to know simple symtoms lead to….?

Are the ordinary dog owners of today not communicating with thier dogs enough to know some simple symptoms are leading to large issues, that may include; life long treatment, diagnoses that were too late or the death of our loved pets. Have we developed a blind spot to them even though our medical department gets clearer and stronger… Why I ask such a question is because the research I have done in the last DAY!!! just wondering around on line looking up alergens, immunities, and heredity defects to the breed I own. When we first brought our dog home he constantly rubbed, scratched and bit at himself, his skin was dry though he drank a ton durring the day and he had really bad gass though his food was of good quality (Canidae, we also tried various foods, everything was the same.) We thought it was a case of fleas which could have been present so we treated him with a vet recommended treatment (VERY EXPENSIVE :/ ), infact it was! but its so much deeper than that. Recently he had been forming sores around his feet, we thought it was the rubbing on his paws when he chewed his bones, he has gas problems, we’ve tried various different foods so we assumed his stomach was sensitive, typical for the breed. Just today I found allergins under the web site’s listings that told about the breed and others too. All the sypmtoms led into a chain connecting all our puzzle pieces that the vet should of known right from the start though we assumed other issues, simple, to have been causeing the symptoms though they were all linked together. Our dog infact had an alergen to fleas saliva causing biting scrathing and rubbing, which could also lead to yeast and bacterial infections. from this his stomach had trouble with food, ANY food, which caused him to get upset stomaches. Vaccine overloads can also have affects like this if there are overload in parasites which can also set the dog up for attacks. From the skin irritations his body started producing Immunoglobulin E a type of cell designed to target the allergen and activates Mast Cells that release different substances including histamine, (a chemical causing itching, inflamation and swelling) and they can bunch up creating sores usually around the feet, anus and the ears. All of this was a link yet he was bred from a purina national winner and a best in show, best of breed more than 8 years in a row Sire. Are breeders only looking at the most common illnesses such as hip dysplasia, eye diseases etc these days? Are we taking these small clues and overlooking things to be whats most common, are we strenghthining our medical and behaviorist knowlegde but forgetting the dangers of, Not their background, but their DNA?
What are your thoughts?

Is it true that both the avian and spanish flus were designed to be weapons?

According to the Natural Solutions Foundation "rogue government operatives, in concert with pharmaceutical interests, may be preparing to unleash a genetically engineered Avian Flu pandemic for profit….Avian Flu has already been created through genetic engineering in the United States, fusing the deadly genome of the 1918 Pandemic, misnamed the ‘Spanish Flu’, with the DNA of the innocuous H5N1 virus in a growth medium of human kidney cells, according to the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine’s manufacturer. Some virologists believe that this would insure that the man-made mutant virus recognizes human cells and knows how to invade them."
"The Spanish Flu, which was not Spanish at all, was created in the U.S. through an early bioweapons program and injected into healthy young men (i.e., ’soldiers’) as the first mandatory vaccination in the military during WWI (also known as the "War to End Wars" and the "Great War"). The "Spanish Flu", which originated in Kansas on U.S. Military bases, killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, and millions worldwide. It was one of the deadliest pandemics in modern history. It was also one of the most successful biological weapons ever created, until now."

How does the CDC determine how influenza virus will likely mutate in order to develop vaccines for next year?

How does the CDC determine how influenza virus will likely mutate in order to develop vaccines for next year ?
How does the CDC determine how influenza virus will likely mutate in order to develop vaccines for next year seasonal flu? i know there are two encoded proteins in influenza a virus DNA which can are the most likely to mutate and the two that will cause the most trouble!
How can they determine though, what particular strain will be more likely? Is there some amino acids in each particular protein that may cause a significant change if changed in influenza virus?
is it a particular region of the genome? what exactly do they look at?

Is the H1N1 vaccine going to turn us all into zombies?

My friend, who does those Tea Parties, says that he thinks the H1N1 virus is a hoax and that the vaccine will make us into Obama loving zombies. He said that Obama is behind the whole thing because he is a dark and evil person.

what testing has been done to assure the H1N1 vaccine is safe?

I have 3 children 12,6,4 and im not very comfortable letting them get the H1N1 vaccine.I want to make an informed decidsion about this does anyone know how many were tested?and didn they test this on actual people/children?

Swine Flu has been Biological Warfare?

I looked into the flu thing more, and, could this be Bio-Warfare? I have learned that many nations wanted to re-create the Spanish Flu of 1918, and several have claimed they did.

So, what happened? Heres what I think
1. The H1N1 has been released by accident
2. The H1N1 has been released deliberately
3. The H1N1 could have been recreated by a single individual.
Could this be a terriost attack? Maybe. The strains on the flu has been claimed to be generically altered to:

Elements of DNA from these types: avian flu, human flu Type A, human flu Type B, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu.
There is a .10% that this was naturally caused. I am sure that WHO is looking into a vaccine now. For now, I want your opinions and answers. What do you think about all of this?
Please do not panic, this will be solved. To the young people that are freaking out, trust me, you are the least vulnerable. We will find a cure for this, especially now since it is nearing of summer.

Remember: We have already cured the last flu pandemic. I’m sure this one will be no different.
If you know someone that has been near Mexico City, advise them to go to a hospital to get them checked out.

This isnt big in the United States, as far as I know, there are only 6 cases being reported. But this Flu can be majorly catastrophic. Wash your hands.
Layne: Then who else should it be? I am not blaming the terrorists, I am only theorizing what COULD be happening.
