They are hardy trees that thrive in most areas, but they can be susceptible to certain pests and diseases. Monitor the bark and leaves of your cedar tree, and look for changes that decrease its appearance.edar apple rust usually won't kill the tree, but it can cause the leaves to turn brown and fall off. Remove the galls by pulling them off the affected areas. Wear gloves to do this. Apply a fungicide to prevent the galls from spreading or returning.
A perforated bowel occurs primarily when a dog ingests a foreign object that obstructs and/or tears through the bowel. Sharp objects, such as needles, bone shards, aluminum cans and sticks have the potential to block the intestine and perforate it, sometimes in multiple locations.
Causes. Experts aren't sure what causes the pancreas irritation, but some breeds, especially schnauzers, are more prone to it. Older dogs and ones who are overweight are also more likely to get it. Sometimes, the condition comes on as a side effect to a drug, or after surgery. Often, a fatty meal, like bacon grease or table scraps, triggers it. Dogs usually recover from mild cases, but if it's severe, it can sometimes lead to death. If your dog is overweight or has diabetes or epilepsy, he may have a harder time getting over an attack. Treatment. If your vet can figure out what caused the pancreatitis, he'll try to deal with that first. For instance, if it was a reaction to a drug, he may take him off it. If it's related to diet, he may put him on prescription food. Sometimes it's hard to tell what causes it, and there's no clear treatment to fight it.
