Don’t Remake Pets Into ChildrenBySamanthaMazzottaDEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m writing in regards to your recent column asking whether pets are more than just part of the family, and instead like another child. Some of your readers responded yes to that question.
Like most pet owners, I have been very attached to our pets. However, I find the “pets as children” idea rather false as well as disrespectful to the animal. Animals should be accepted for what they are, not remade into children. Most dogs are intelligent, adult animals, and it is insulting to treat them like silly little children.
Also, most pets are spayed or neutered, and we would never do that to children or any other family members. We could use procedures that would prevent pregnancy, without eliminating sexual behavior, but in animals that behavior tends to be a nuisance.
Pets can be a real blessing, and they should be respected. -- Barbara B., via email
DEAR BARBARA: Those are very goodpoints, and thank you for bringing them up! Oneofthemostimportantthingswecanlearnfrom caring for pets is compassion and respect for all animals, both tame and wild.
Dogs and cats also require specific care,including, as Barbara points out, spaying or neutering to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the occurrence of abandoned or abused animals. Vaccines and licenses also are typically required by law. Your child doesn’t have towear visible tags, but your dog (and often your cat) does.
Does this mean that owners somehow love their pets less? I think not -- most are devoted to theirpetanditswelfareandhappiness.That’ssomething to be valued.

To Your Good Health ByPaulG.Donohue,M.D.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please address Meniere’s disease in your column. I am 88, a female and in good general health. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I weigh 125 pounds and am 5 feet 1 inch tall. My diet consists mostly of health foods. -- G.R.
ANSWER: Vertigo (dizziness), ear noises (tinnitus) and fluctuating hearing loss are the three signs of Meniere’s (men-YAIRS) disease. Vertigo comes in spells lasting 20 minutes or more, and they leave the person off balance for several days. Tinnitus can be ringing, roaring, hissing or other sounds that come and go but eventually stay permanently. The same happens with episodes of hearing loss. It becomes a permanent problem in time. All these signs are due to a buildup of fluid in the inner ear, the place where hearing and balance take place.
Treatment of Meniere’s focuses on ridding the inner ear of the fluid buildup. A strict low-salt diet goes a long way in reducing symptoms. The reason is that salt brings on fluid retention. Restricting caffeine and alcohol also helps. Diuretics -- water pills -- might be needed to get rid of the fluid.
A hearing aid usually overcomes deafness.
Dizzy spells are accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Antivert and Phenergan relieve all three.
Hearing, Balance Woes Can Signal Meniere’s
Should these measures fail, more-heroic efforts are called into play. One is an injection in the ear of the antibiotic gentamicin, which destroys the ear’s balance organ and eliminates dizziness. Another approach is the Meniett device, a little gadget that creates pressure pulses that are transmitted to the inner ear. The pulses pump fluid out. A doctor has to make a small hole in the eardrum so the pressure waves can make their way to the inner ear.
An ear, nose and throat doctor can evaluate you and determine if you are a candidate for these treatments or for other treatments I haven’t discussed.
The booklet on vertigo discusses its many causes and treatments. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 801W, 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: I have a pain that starts near my elbow and shoots down my arm to the little finger. It doesn’t happen all the time. I don’t know what brings it on. It just appears to happen for no reason. What could this be? -- E.J.
ANSWER: I’m sure you’ve heard of carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s due to a compression of a wrist nerve as it passes through a tunnel of ligaments and bones on its way to the hand and fingers.
You describe something similar, compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. This nerve supplies the little finger and the adjacent side of the ring finger. Compression of the nerve causes the kind of symptoms you have. You can try a simple treatment, an elbow splint. Your wear it at night, and the elbow should be bent about 60 degrees. Give it a week. If the pain doesn’t leave, you should have an exam. Other conditions can cause the same kind of pain.

• You probably know that the Chinese script is made up of ideograms: pictures that represent objects or ideas. Often, words are formed by pairing simple symbols to convey a more complex idea. For instance, the symbol for “eye” combined with the symbol for “water” creates the word “teardrop.” Pair “mouth” with “bird” and you get song. And, interestingly, pairing two women together makes the symbol for “quarrel,” and three means “gossip.”
• Census data show that women in the South tend to live longer than their counterparts in northern states.
• You may be surprised to learn that President Abraham Lincoln’s son, Robert Todd Lincoln, was on the scene of three presidential assassinations. The first time was in 1865, when he was with his father after he was shot at Ford’s Theatre. In 1881, Lincoln, who was then serving as Secretary of War, arrived at Union Station shortly after President James A. Garfield had been shot. Finally, in 1901, he was at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y., when President William McKinley was assassinated.
• If you’re like the average American man, over the course of 10 years you’ll shave off a full pound of whiskers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning us about picnic food,and what it says applies especially to seniors. It seems there’s another potential food-borneillness:Listeria.
Picnicfoods--hotdogs,delimeats,preparedsalads, meat spreads from the deli case and soft cheeses -- can contain bacteria called Listeria. Smoked seafood and unpasteurizedmilk alsocan harbor Listeria. Even if the bacteria has been killed by cooking, it can be recontaminated because the bacteria can grow at refrigerator temperature.
In addition to food poisoning, those with health risks can come down with a very serious infection after consuming Listeria-contaminated foods. Even for seniors without medical conditions, healing from an infection can include long hospitalizations -- or evendeath.
Here are some food safety tips from thewww.IsItDoneYet.govwebsite:
•Use a digital thermometer to ensure thatfoods are cooked to the optimum temperature. Forgroundbeef,that’s160degreesFahrenheit.Poultry needs to be heated to 165F.Cookedhams must be reheated to 140 F. Check the temperature of the food in several places.•Washhands inwarm, soapywater for at
least 20 seconds before and after handling food.•Keeprefrigeratortemperatureat40degrees
Forless,andfreezersat0Forless.• Keep your food-prep surface clean, and
use paper towels instead of dish cloths to dry the counter.•Rinseproduce--eventhekindwithrinds
thataren’teaten.• And those hot dogs and deli meats so
popular with summer picnics: They mustbe completely heated to 165 degrees before consuming.
