MOSTWANTED CarltonRayStevens Marshal Walter Gosney and the members of the Red Bluff police force are receiving numerous com- plaints from property own- ers because of the fact that boys, and men, riding bicy- cles are again falling into the old habit of riding the sidewalks instead of the street. The city ordinance is very strict against riding bicycles on the sidewalk and Marshal Gosney has announced that he will ar- restanyoffenderscaughtin the act of violating this law. The complaint is made that the boys are reckless of the rights of the pedes- trians, forcing them often- times to get off the side- walk to avoid being struck. Complaint was also made because of the fact that during the muddy weather a bicycle ridden from the muddy street onto the side- walk made the latter very dirty and resulted in much extra work for the house keepers. — Nov. 14, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...

Some of us have bat- tled it our- selves, or have fought it along- side family members or with dear friends. It seems that no one is impervious to it. Whenever a person learns that they, or a beloved, have cancer, it is a devas- tating feeling. That feel- ing is no different when a guardian learns the same diagnosis about a cher- ished pet. While cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, it may also surprise you to know that it is the number- one disease-related killer of our dogs and cats. "Just like humans, can- cer is a looming danger in the lives of our pets," said Dr. Carol McConnell, DVM, MBA, vice pres- ident, and chief veteri- nary medical officer for Nationwide. "The preva- lence of pet cancer con- tinues to increase year over year. " Pets of any age can de- velop it, but the disease is typically more common in adult and older ani- mals. In addition, certain breeds of dogs and cats have a higher incidence of some types of cancers. For example, the risk of lymphoma increases in Boxers, Mastiffs, Bas- set Hounds, St. Bernards, Scottish Terriers, Aire- dales, and Bulldogs. Early detection is cru- cial. Even though a tumor or growth may not be cancerous, it is important for a guardian to seek the advice of their veteri- narian if they notice any lumps or bumps. Regular check-ups are also advis- able to detect those can- cers that may not be as readily apparent. In ad- dition to being aware of a lump or bump that is changing in color, size, or texture, guardians should also be on the look-out for the following signs or symptoms. A change in the pet's appetite or weight may signal something is amiss. If the pet is los- ing weight and has not changed its diet or the quantity consumed, it is worth a trip to the veter- inarian. A belly that be- comes enlarged quickly, with a bloated appear- ance, may be indicative of a mass in the abdomen. Other significant issues to be on the lookout for are: unexplained bleed- ing or discharge, that is not related to trauma, from any body orifice; unexplained persistent vomiting or diarrhea; a dry, non-productive cough; difficulty breath- ing (Dyspnea), short- ness of breath, or rapid breathing (Tachypnea). Oral tumors do occur in pets. A pet may have difficulty in chewing and swallowing, and you may notice that they will pre- fer something softer to eat, rather than the hard kibble. You may also de- tect an unusually strong, foul odor emitting from the pet. Be aware that these are also indicative of dental disease so, ei- ther way, a trip to the vet- erinarian is in your pet's best interest. Lymph nodes are lo- cated throughout the body and, when they are enlarged, they can indi- cate a common form of cancer called lymphoma. Most of the time, lym- phoma in dogs appears as "swollen glands" that can be seen or felt under the neck, in front of the shoulders, or behind the knee. Guardians should some spend time petting and exploring their pet's body on a regular ba- sis. Not only does the pet adore the extra attention, it is also one of the best ways to notice any bumps that can be a sign of early onset lymphoma or some other health problem. Dogs and cats get breast cancer, too! In fact, breast cancer is the most common tumor in female dogs and the third most common tumor in female cats. With this be- ing known, the most im- portant thing a guardian can do to reduce the risk is to spay their dog or cat prior to its first heat cy- cle. It has been docu- mented that cats spayed prior to 6 months of age had a 91% reduction in risk of developing breast cancer compared to those not spayed. The numbers are equally impressive for dogs. In many cases, pet can- cer is treatable and, due to advances in veteri- nary medicine, there are more options for treating our beloved pets, which will help improve not only their length of life but also its quality. Treat- ment will vary according to the type and progres- sion of the cancer and may include surgery, ra- diation, or chemotherapy.
