Please Chip In to get Mima Her Surgery. Someone brutally cut her legs off.

Mima, Dog from Bulgaria Whose 4 Legs Were Brutally Chopped Off!!!

Update: April 7, 2010 (Please read as we can not send you individual updates. Or join our Facebook group, see link below)
This is Mima, a sweet dog from Bulgaria. She was tortured and mutilated by a sadistic monster who hacked each one of her limbs off... not just once but for days and weeks at a time!! Despite the vicious and brutal torture Mima suffered, she still is a trusting, sweet soul and is a true survivor. She now has a new guardian, Mrs. Violeta Dobreva (a lawyer and head of NGO in Bulgaria) who will shower her with the love and care she deserves. The doctors say there is a good chance that Mima will be able to walk again soon! Until a medical team and facility has been selected and all evaluations have been made, we do not yet have an estimate of the total cost for her medical care. As soon as we do, this ChipIn will then be changed to reflect a Target Amount. After the horror Mima was put through and her own will to survive, we want only the best for Mima so she can live the rest of her years comfortably. Please bear in mind that we aim for the best specialists to work on not just one or two limbs, but all four limbs that were savagely butchered (unlike surgical amputation), she will also need prosthesis, cart, transport, and will require a long and extensive rehabilitation process all these can be astronomical. Any overages from this collection (if any) will go towards helping the many animals in desperate need in Bulgaria.

Rotarix rotavirus vaccine contaminated, officials say

CNN) -- Federal health authorities recommended Monday that doctors suspend using Rotarix, one of two vaccines licensed in the United States against rotavirus, saying the vaccine is contaminated with material from a pig virus.

"There is no evidence at this time that this material poses a safety risk," Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told reporters in a conference call.

Rotarix, made by GlaxoSmithKline, was approved by the FDA in 2008. The contaminant material is DNA from porcine circovirus 1, a virus from pigs that is not known to cause disease in humans or animals, Hamburg said.

Pig Virus DNA Found in Rotavirus Vaccine

FDA: No Problems Seen in 1 Million U.S. Kids Who Got Rotarix Vaccine

March 22, 2010 -- GlaxoSmithKline's Rotarix rotavirus vaccine contains DNA from an apparently harmless pig virus, the company and the FDA today announced.

The FDA estimates that 1 million U.S. kids have received the Rotarix vaccine.

The contamination was discovered by researchers developing a new technique for detecting viral material. GlaxoSmithKline confirmed that the pig virus, porcine circovirus type 1 or PCV-1, has been in the vaccine since it was developed.

This means that pig virus DNA was in the vaccine throughout clinical trials. No safety issues emerged from these international studies with 90,000 participants or, GlaxoSmithKline says, in post-marketing surveillance covering more than 69 million doses of the vaccine. READ FULL REPORT HERE

Ten Tips for cats who are forced to relocate with their owners!

If you sense your owner plans to move, be on your best behavior. Revive those terminally cute poses you used to get yourself adopted. Let your owner sleep past 5 AM. Keep your paws out of your owner's hair. Use the litterbox religiously. If you must throw up, head for the bathroom and skip the windowsills. You do not want your owner to entertain thoughts like, "I don't want to ruin the beautiful floors in our new home," or, "You know, it's really hard to rent an apartment when you have a cat."

Here's a great game. Jump into an empty box, stick your head out and hold the pose while your owner runs around looking for a camera. As soon as she appears, finger on snap button, turn around and point your tail at the camera. You'll learn some new cuss words, guaranteed.

The arrival of the moving van is your cue to hide. You can have lots of fun with this one. Your owner will run around frantically, cursing the movers: "You idiots! You left the door open! Now little Furball is gone forever!" After they've wasted an hour running around the neighborhood, appear out of nowhere and begin to wash. When they shriek, "Oh there she is!" and try to hug you, summon an aloof glare and wash your face again. Bonus tip: If you really want to freak them out, hide in your cat carrier.

As you begin your twelve-hour drive, remember that your owners would rather listen to your yowling than to the latest tapes or the local weather and news. Keep it up!

Demand a sandbox break as soon as your owner begins driving on a road where it is absolutely impossible to pull over. A narrow bridge with bumper-to-bumper traffic is a good choice.

Motel etiquette calls for you to sit in the window, looking absolutely adorable. Encourage passers-by to tap on the glass at all hours, especially if your owner has forgotten to draw the curtains. If you suspect your owners have snuck you into the room without checking, begin yowling as soon as they try to move you to a more secluded spot.

When it's time to hit the road at 6 AM, you don't want to be found. If you can position yourself under the queensize bed, out of reach of your owner's arms, you can delay everyone's travel plans for a good half hour. The award for the most creative hiding place goes to the feline who wedged herself between mattress cover and springs. Caution: This only works if your owner really adores you. If you can't be found in twenty minutes, you might be looking for a new home.

Insist on being present when boxes are unpacked. Jump into each box to make sure the contents arrived safely. If your owners lock you into the bathroom "so kitty can't escape," use the opportunity to practice your singing. The movers need entertainment, too.

Demand to test each windowsill of the new home. If you still have claws, test the curtains to see if they'll hold your weight. Fifteen pounds? Should be no problem. Regardless, those miniblinds offer limitless opportunities for new versions of torture-the-owner. How many can you bend? How about breaking off a little hole for your head to peek through? Cute.

10. Encourage your owner to get a dog. You may never have to move again. "Honey, we can't move. We could never afford another place where Spot could have a yard."
