Pets Grieve, TooBySamanthaMazzotta
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We had two dogs for the past six years. We just lost “Sassy” two days ago. Our remaining dog, “Barry,” is so sad. How can we help him? He barely eats, and he just lays around not showing interest in anything. I realize it is soon after losing his best friend, but is this normal? We are sad also, but want to help him if we can. -- Norma in Ohio
DEAR NORMA: It’s very normal for a dogto grieve for a lost companion, and Barry isshowing all the signs of deep grief: loss of appetite, depression, lack of interest in thingsthat normally stimulate him. In a few days, he may begin pacing around the house, searchingfor something -- another common behavior,particularlyafteradoglosesacompanionanimallike Sassy.
BesupportiveofBarryoverthenextfewmonths.Give him lots of love and attention. However,don’t break his training routine or feeding routine, nor allow him to do things he normally wouldn’t beallowedtodo,likeclimbonthefurniture.Heneedsstructureaswellassupport.
WhenBarrysearchesthehouseforher,callhimover and give him a blanket or toy that Sassy liked touseandthatstillhasherscent.Sometimesanitem that reminds a pet of a lost companion iscomforting. Other times the pet will reject theitem--don’tscoldorforceitonhim.
HowlongwillBarrygrieve?Likehumans,there’sno set time. Some dogs return to their old selves from two to six weeks after a loss; others take manymonths.Andsomealwaysretainsomesignthat they still miss their old friend, years down the road.
To Your Good Health ByPaulG.Donohue,M.D.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have the dry type of macular degeneration. I take PreserVision with lutein tablets twice a day. I hear lutein is very good for my eyes, and I would like to take more than the 10 mg a day that I get in my tablets. I don’t know how much is safe. My doctor said he didn’t know. Will macular degeneration leave me completely blind? How long will it be before I cannot see anymore? -- C.B.
ANSWER: The macula is a small, round area in the center of the retina, the layer at the back of the eye that transmits incoming images to the brain so we can see. The macula is essential for clear, central vision, the kind needed to read, to drive and to recognize faces. Off-to-the-side vision remains. You won’t go completely blind.
Furthermore, dry macular degeneration most often advances gradually. It’s the more common variety, accounting for 90 percent of cases. It can stay at its present level for years, even for life. Wet macular degeneration comes about from the growth of blood vessels beneath the retina. Those vessels are fragile and leak fluid. It tends to advance more rapidly.
Currently no cure exists for dry macular degeneration. A combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene (or vitamin A), zinc and copper appears to slow moderate macular degeneration’s progression to a
Macular Degeneration Progress Can be Slowed
more advanced stage. Your PreserVision is one such preparation.
Lutein is a plant product that might aid in delaying the advance of dry macular degeneration. At this very moment, a large study is taking place to ascertain the place of lutein in the treatment of this common eye condition. The amount of lutein being tested in the study is 10 mg a day. Lutein appears to be a very safe substance, but I would stick with the 10 mg dose until the present study defines lutein’s place and its optimum dose.
The booklet on macular degeneration explains this prevalent eye problem in great detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 701W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please tell me about post-traumatic stress disorder. I think someone in my family suffers from it. -- A.F.
ANSWER: Having faced an event that threatened life or caused serious injury is the basis for post-traumatic stress disorder. The event keeps resurfacing in the mind with a clarity that imparts terror and helplessness, and sometimes guilt. The remembrance can happen during the day or in dreams.
An affected person stays in the alert mode at all times. He or she loses interest in life, neglects those around him or her, suffers from fragmented sleep, often erupts in outbursts of anger and is usually quite depressed. Soldiers, firemen, policemen and those who suffered a sexual or physical attack are people who most often develop PTSD. With the combination of talk treatment and medicines, these people can usually regain their equilibrium and resume a normal life.

• It was 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer who made the following sage observation: “There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.”
• Those who study such things say that half of all money spent on food in the United States is spent in restaurants.
• If, like me, you are constantly finding excess wire hangers in your closets, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that more than 2.7 billion of them were imported in 2010 alone. • You might be surprised to learn that beer brewers in Australia are on the cutting edge of alternative energy production. They have
created a “beer battery” -- the world’s first, they claim -- in which electricity is generated by bacteria consuming the waste that is created by the brewing process. • Companies today sometimes seem to go too far in advertising their products, but consider Richard Chesebrough, who invented the petroleum jelly Vaseline in 1872. In order to market his new creation as a salve for cuts and burns, he traveled around New York state demonstrating the efficacy of the product by burning his skin with acid, then applying Vaseline to the injury. A display of his past burns that had been healed with Vaseline would, in theory, convince people to buy the product.
• If you’re looking to brighten up your living space with some greenery, you might want to consider getting a bonsai tree. They live longer than any other houseplant.

Kurt Busch Closing on Points LeaderFor Kurt Busch,the 2011 season hasbeenaprocessofebbandflow...and ebb again. Or vice-versa.
The 32-year-oldBusch, the elder of racing brothers,began the season unofficially with avictory in the Budweiser Shootout,followed by finishes of fifth, eighth,ninth and seventh in the Sprint Cup season’sfirstfour“pointraces.”Thenhewentintoaslump,withfinishesof17th,16th,10th,18th,22nd,27thand14th.
After the season’s first four races,Busch stood at the top of the pointstandings. Seven races later, he hadfallen to eighth. But since then, thegraphhasturnedupwardagain.Buschhasfinished fourth,ninthand secondin the threemost-recent races, liftinghimbackuptosixthinthestandings,only35pointsbehindleaderCarlEd-wards.
Busch’s disgruntlement was obvious
during the rough spots. Changes were made in management at Penske Racing, at least partly inresponsetoBusch’scom-plaints, many of whichwere heard by fans over scannersduringraces.
