The body can encounter a peculiar and rare condition in which, abnormal proteins within the body known as amyloid, get deposited in different bodily tissues and organs. These abnormal proteins have a tendency to become amino acids, but they gradually fold themselves and take a three dimensional structure. If these three dimensional and folded amyloids come together and start to perform different functions by themselves, they can stop the normal functions of the cells and tissues and organs. This condition is called Amyloidosis. Once the proteins start to club together, it becomes quite difficult to break them down. Amyloidosis is a very rare disease that occurs in only 1,500 to 2,500 people in the United States of America.

There are several reasons why a dog’s nose is wet or dry. If you keep a close eye on your pup’s sniffer throughout the day, you will likely see it change. It may be dry in the morning and wet in the afternoon. That’s perfectly normal!

It’s never a fun situation when you have a persistent cough. You don’t want to be that person in a quiet room during a lecture that can’t stop breaking the silence with your hacking, or that person at the restaurant that makes people fling themselves over their plates to protect their food while you cough away. Or that person on the plane that everyone throws disgusted looks at. Coughs are just terribly uncomfortable all around, both physically and otherwise.
