"Underdogs looks into the rapidly growing initiative to provide veterinary care to underserved communities in such places as North Carolina and Costa Rica and how those living in or near poverty respond to these forms of care. For many years, the primary focus of the humane community in the United States was to control animal overpopulation and alleviate the stray dog problem by euthanizing or sterilizing dogs and cats. These efforts succeeded by the turn of the century, and it appeared as though most pets were being sterilized and given at least basic veterinary care, including vaccinations and treatments for medical problems such as worms or mange. However, in recent years animal activists and veterinarians have acknowledged that these efforts only reached pet owners in advantaged communities, leaving over twenty million pets unsterilized, unvaccinated, and untreated in underserved communities. The problem of getting basic veterinary services to dogs and cats in low-income communities has suddenly become spotlighted as a major issue facing animal shelters, animal rescue groups, animal control departments, and veterinarians in the United States and abroad. In the past five to ten years, animal protection organizations have launched a new focus trying to deliver basic and even more advanced veterinary care to the many underserved pets in the United States. These efforts pose a challenge to these groups as does pet keeping to people living in poverty across most of the world who have pets or care for street dogs"--

Introduction : Le développement de l’antibiorésistance est un problème mondial grandissant et préoccupant. Afin d’identifier les facteurs favorisant l’émergence de résistances antimicrobiennes, il est nécessaire de collecter des données d’utilisation des antimicrobiens et de prévalence de germes résistants. Ces données permettent de mettre en œuvre des stratégies efficaces pour endiguer ce phénomène et ce, pensées dans une approche One Health. Au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, il n’y a pas de données disponibles sur le comportement de prescription antibiotique des vétérinaires petits animaux. Méthodes : Étude transversale par enquête auprès de vétérinaires petits animaux Luxembourgeois. Cette enquête a été conduite au travers d’un questionnaire présentant cinq situations cliniques fréquentes en première ligne de soins. Pour chaque cas, un ensemble de questions leur demandait s'ils décideraient de prescrire ou non des antimicrobiens, un traitement non antimicrobien et s'ils effectueraient des examens complémentaires. Les réponses ont été comparées aux recommandations de l’AMCRA. Résultats : 32 vétérinaires sur les 162 contactés ont répondu au questionnaire. Les antibiotiques les plus prescrits étaient l’amoxicilline/acide clavulanique (48,7%) et l’amoxicilline (28,7%) classés oranges par l’AMCRA. En moyenne pour les cinq scénarios cliniques, 73,8% des répondants respectaient les guidelines. Seuls 7,3% des antimicrobiens prescrits sont qualifiés de critiques, et leur prescription n’est précédée d’un antibiogramme que dans 27,3% des cas. Conclusion : Il y a correspondance avec les recommandations de l’AMCRA. Les antimicrobiens critiques sont peu prescrits. Des efforts sont à poursuivre pour la sensibilisation au recours aux antibiogrammes, et au choix d’antibiotiques jaunes plutôt qu’oranges.

Children and companion animals seem to have a natural affinity towards each other. Most children desire a relationship with their own companion animals or at least demonstrate an interest to interact with animals in general. Living with companion animals or interacting with animals may have psychosocial, neurobiological, or medically relevant effects on typically developing children and juveniles as well as those with diverse and special needs.
In this eBook, we present several articles addressing the relationships between children/juveniles and animals in different countries, including Austria, Germany, Jamaica, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Three articles discuss approaches in animal-assisted education, including animal keeping and animal assisted interventions in schools, and an experimental study investigating immediate effects of dogs on reading competence and accompanying stress reactions with cortisol and behavior. Other articles address topics involving children and their companion animals, including dog-walking by children and juveniles, risks of dog bites by the family dog, selection of pet dogs for families with a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the relationships that children with ASD have with their family cats.
The interactions between children/juveniles and animals addressed in this eBook provide new insights into some scarcely investigated themes, and underline the significance of animals in children's lives.
