We wanted to wish Tiffany Amber Thiessen who was kind to send us a thank you note for her SwellyBelly Bands! We wish her and her husband an easy delivery and a healthy baby! Good Luck!

It’s funny but you will never guess but our model Jill is actually a veterinarian and she has opened her own business, Gentle Pet Dental.

Check out her philosophy:

At Gentle Pet Dental, our goal is to make your pets dental and health care experience a positive one. We work with your pets individual personality, rather than break their spirit. Whether in the office or in the convenience of your own home, we strive to make them as comfortable as possible.

Working in the veterinary medical field for over 10 years, we are well aware of the risks of anesthesia. For many of our patients, anesthesia is not an option due to medical conditions. That’s why we started GPD (Gentle Pet Dental), to help those pets live longer and happier lives.

Non-Anesthetic dentals offer a safe and cost effective alternative to standard anesthetic cleanings. Our gentle handling techniques allow us to clean, scale, polish, and flush both above and below the gum line. The procedure uses the same instruments and techniques as if your pet were under anesthesia. Our cleanings always include ultrasonic scaling as well.

GOOD LUCK JILL!

Thought i’d share an article that i just read in the Los Angeles Times by Thomas H. Maugh II

Pregnant women are likely to be among the first groups recommended to receive the vaccine for the new H1N1 influenza, commonly known as swine flu, because of their unusually high risk of dying from an infection. Of the 266 U.S. swine-flu-related deaths for which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has detailed information, 15 were pregnant women, the Associated Press reported this morning. That amounts to 6% of the deaths, although pregnant women account for only 1% of the population. Most of the women were healthy before they contracted the virus.

The CDC’s advisory committee on vaccination will meet in Atlanta on Wednesday to set priorities for who should receive the new vaccine, which may begin to be available by October. The group is expected to follow a recommendation from the World Health Organization that healthcare workers, who are on the front lines of caring for infected patients, be the first to receive the vaccine. It now seems likely that pregnant women will be next.

Pregnant women have long been known to be at increased risk for adverse effects from seasonal influenza, and health authorities recommend every year that all pregnant women be vaccinated. Even so, only about an estimated 15% receive the shots. The women are thought to be at risk of developing pneumonia — and dying – because of changes to their lungs and immune system that are a normal part of pregnancy, and many physicians fear that the risk is even higher with H1N1. In fact, British and Swiss health authorities have notoriously argued that women should pospone getting pregnant until after the pandemic has passed.

The vaccine protects not only the mother but also her baby. A study conducted in Bangladesh and reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last year found that vaccination for seasonal flu reduced flu in infants by 63%.
