A foal named Mouse is another first for Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Science. But this isn’t just your average foal, according to a news release from the university — this is the first such clone in the world. Cloning isn’t new to Texas A&M.

The government’s wildlife impact assessment as of June 13 showed that 725 birds, 324 sea turtles, and 39 marine mammals had been found dead along the Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi coasts. Just over 600 animals had been recovered alive, but only 43 had so far been returned to the wild. Not all the injuries and deaths
Amid growing evidence that secondhand smoke is causing cancers and possibly a range of other health problems in pets, many groups are intensifying efforts to encourage people to stop smoking — if not for their own sake, then for their animals’. Veterinarians are redoubling efforts to warn smokers of the dangers to their pets, and smoking-cessation programs, including Utah Tobacco Prevention and Control, Breathe New Hampshire and smokefreesociety.org, have posted fact sheets or printable fliers on their websites.

An explosion of clover in Kentucky this Spring has proved deadly for cows. State Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer has asked Governor Steve Beshear to request a Federal Disaster Declaration from the U.S Department of Agriculture. Farmer says the cattle are dying of a weather-related condition called Primary Ruminal Tympany, commonly known as Frothy Bloat. When a cow has frothy bloat, gas swells up in one of its stomach chambers putting pressure on the lungs and causing it to suffocate. Farmers here locally say to avoid this get your cows full early. “If you feed your cows, you get them
