Web and Wireless Site Usability: Understanding Differences and Modeling Use
2006, Management Info Systems Quarterly
V. Venkatesh, Ramesh Venkataraman
Recent research has presented a conceptualization, metric, and instrument based on Microsoft Usability Guidelines (MUG; see Agarwal and Venkatesh 2002). In this paper, we use MUG to further our understanding of web and wireless site use. We conducted two empirical studies among over 1,000 participants. In study 1, conducted in both the United States and Finland, we establish the generalizability of the MUG conceptualization, metric, and associated instrument from the United States to Finland. In study 2, which involved longitudinal data collection in Finland, we delved into an examination of differences in factors important in determining web versus wireless site usability. Also, in study 2, based on a follow-up survey about site use conducted 3 months after the initial survey, we found support for a model of site use that employs the MUG categories and subcategories as predictors. The MUG-based model outperformed the widely employed technology acceptance model both in terms of richness and variance explained (about 70 percent compared to 50 percent).

Modeling Use," MIS Quarterly, Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 181-206.

In October, the Associated Press and the GfK Group conducted a survey whose core question was, "Generally speaking, would you say that most people can be trusted or that you can't be too careful in dealing with people?"
The result: Only 32 percent of those responding said "most people can be trusted," while 64 percent said "you can't be too careful." Just 4 percent said it depends on the situation, which is a sign the overall level of suspicion has become automatic if not ingrained.
Break the numbers down into specific situations and they become more jarring. Three-quarters of Americans don't trust the people they share the roadways with, two-thirds don't trust store clerks who swipe their credit or debit cards, 60 percent don't trust their social media "friends," 55 percent don't trust people they've hired to clean their houses, exactly half don't trust the cooks or chefs who prepare their restaurant food, and nearly half don't trust the people who handle their medical records at doctors' offices or hospitals.
Social and political scientists say they're worried about the data and cited various reasons for it. Fewer people socialize face-to-face or become civically involved anymore. Income inequality has created chasms between groups. Round-the-clock news coverage of domestic mayhem and warfare abroad disproportionately magnifies the danger level viewers actually face. Moral values have declined so much in the U.S. that it's silly not to believe there are evildoers poised around every corner or in cyberspace, ready to rip people off or do them physical harm.
Those are legitimate factors, and all probably are at work here. However, there's also the stress of functioning in a world where people constantly are being asked to do more with less, and face having to perpetually re-educate if not reinvent themselves to keep up with technological and other changes. The events of Sept. 11, 2001, stripped away innocence from the U.S. and replaced it with a sense of vulnerability that will never go away.
We don't think Americans are inherently self-centered. They've often proved otherwise in times of crisis; however, it's hard to fault people for becoming insular when they face such daily challenges in keeping their lives out of the ditch.
Still, we share the analysts' concerns, and agree with their contention that such mistrust threatens the traditions of compromise, deal-making and disparate elements working together that have been this country's strength.
We also agree with their conclusion that this won't be an easy problem to fix. Trust can't be gained or rekindled with a finger snap or a bill.
Perhaps this acknowledgement that there is a problem will inspire a bit of self-reflection. That's the starting point for any solution.
A version of this editorial first appeared in the Gadsden Times, a Halifax Media Group newspaper in Alabama.

Laurel Gray Vineyards in Hamptonville is making an addition to its lineup of award-winning wine selections.
The winery will soon be introducing a new line of fruit wines for customers to select from. The wines will be made from a variety of flavors including blueberry and pear.
The new additions stem from owners Benny and Kim Myers. Kim took the idea of fruit crates, like those used to purchase fruit off the local mountains in bygone days, and create a line of fun, unique wines from that.
The line up, wisely named "Fruit Crates wines," will include the blueberry "Carolina Blue," the peach "Southern Belle," the pear "Starstruck," the raspberry "All That Rass," and a pomegranate offering.
The wines will be available through the Laurel Gray owned Yadkin Valley Wine Company, located behind Laurel Gray on the same property.
The two wineries are separate entities but both owned by the Myers. They are both federally registered wineries and have produced national and international award-winning wines.
Being federally registered means a winery can only have one tasting room on a particular piece of land. For Laurel Gray that room is located in an authentic 1930's milking parlor located off Old Highway 421.
However, as the two wineries are independent companies from one another the rules allow a second tasting room to be built on the property.
The new room, located in the Yadkin Valley Wine Company, will serve the new fruit line separate from the grape-based wines in Laurel Gray.
Benny said the long-term plans are for the milking parlor to one day serve as the fruit tasting room and the Laurel Gray move its operation into the new Yadkin Valley room.
Myers expects to begin selling the already bottled wine from the new room by mid-October.
Laurel Gray sauces
Laurel Gray has also expanded its offerings into the food industry.
The winery now manufactures its own gluten/preservative free sauces for use on everything from pork to ice cream, all the while keeping the flavorful wines as the inspiration.
Myers has included a list of foods that pair well with each sauce, but the sky is the limit for what you can try them with:
- Artisan Vinaigrette is great with fish, vegetables, pork, burgers, and with bread or salad.
- Chocolate Cabernet can be used on ice cream, cheesecake or fresh berries.
- Crazy Bout Butts BBQ is a molasses sauce perfect for pork.
- Chardonnay Caramel is best with ice cream, cheesecake, apple pie, crepes, bread pudding, or whatever your imagination can think of.
The sauces are available through the winery's tasting room or online at laurelgraysauces.com.
Recipes are also available online to pair the sauces with the perfect selection of foods.

Minnesota Vikings Tickets
Minnesota Vikings Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013: 5-10-1 Coming off a playoff berth the year before, the Vikings were hoping to again use Adrian Peterson and defense to power themselves into the playoffs. It didn't work out, as a 1-7 start served as a brutal reminder that this is now truly a quarterback's league, and you need a franchise one to win. They have one of those now in Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, and boy will he be a sight for sore eyes. Last season Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel were both bad, and then there was Josh Freeman in a nationally televised game in New York looking as bad as any QB in the league last year. He must've been missing guys by 15 yards. But Bridgewater could immediately clean up that mess. He's got Greg Jennings (804 rec yards) and Jerome Simpson (726 rec yards) as proven commodities, but young Cordarrelle Patterson could also be poised for a breakout. Then there's the phenomenal Peterson (1,266 yards, 10 TDs), who didn't have the year he thought he would but remains the NFL's best, bound to have an even better season in 2014. Defensively, they effectively swapped DEs with Chicago, losing Jared Allen and picking up Corey Wootton. Obviously Allen has the big name and skill set, but with Wootton the Vikings save money, get younger, and could've done much worse. They also snagged Linval Joseph from NY on the D-line. They signed CB Captain Munnerlyn in their biggest defense acquisition. That signing was crucial; the Vikes gave up the most points per game in the league last season and it was mostly because of an incompetent pass defense. They seem to be addressing that through Munnerlyn, the D-line signings, and second-round pick DE Scott Crichton from Oregon State, because they didn't even draft anyone in the secondary until the sixth round. Regardless of Bridgewater's performance, the Vikings aren't going anywhere if they defend they did last year. This will likely decide their legitimacy as a contender. Minnesota will also be up against something else they've never had to deal with at home before; freezing weather. They're at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium for two years while the new stadium is being built. The Vikings have their work cut out for them, but with Bridgewater, Peterson, Jennings, and Patterson, they definitely have reason for optimism too.

Telecommuting or teleworking is an arrangement employers make in which employees work in a home-based office environment. Many companies offer telecommuting as an alternative to a long, expensive commute; as a way to improve productivity; or a means to reduce their carbon footprint. However, there are are also companies in which there is no central place of work or headquarters office to reduce overhead costs.
Among the benefits to telecommuting are energy conservation, environmental preservation, improved health & safety, and employee retention. (Photo: Shutterstock)

DIXON — With so much to play for, Dixon picked a bad night to turn in a performance that was lacking and had coach Dawn Buchanan shaking her head.
With a win over East Carteret, the Bulldogs could have clinched a tie for at least second place in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference.
Instead, the Mariners struck early and often en route to a 9-1 win Tuesday night.
"They were dead. That's what happens when you get four days off I guess," Buchanan said. "We take Friday off for prom (and the weekend) and … they slacked in the gym yesterday at practice and slacked on the field today."
Whether it was the time off or that the Bulldogs had to help prepare the field after recent rains instead of going through their normal pre-game routine as East Carteret was able to do, Dixon was not at its best against a team it had edged 3-2 earlier this season.
The loss left the Bulldogs (10-11) at 6-3 in the
The Stallions (14-2) are 6-0 with four
While Dixon isn't mathematically out of the
"Now we have to rely to other teams to beat somebody for us," she said. "I hate having things in other people's hands. But they (Southwest) still got a few more games to play in conference, and I guess we have to keep our fingers crossed that Pamlico or somebody beats them."
East Carteret wasted no time jumping on the Bulldogs, scoring twice in the first inning and then putting up three spots in the second and third. The Mariners scored on a wild pitch and a ground out in the first and then got a three-run double by pitcher Robin Parrish in the second for a 5-0 lead.
The third inning uprising was highlighted by a rare two-run sacrifice fly by Shelby Clark after left fielder Amber Giuliano made a nice catch while colliding with center fielder Alexis Rochelle and tumbling to the ground. By the time Giuliano was able to get the ball back in the infield, two runs had come home.
Dixon had runners at first and second in the third and a runner at third in the fourth — both times with two outs — but came up empty. Then in the fifth the Bulldogs got their lone run on an RBI-single by Shi Warren that scored Giuliano, who reached on a perfect bunt.
That came after Jordan Parker scored but was called out for running outside the baseline.
Then in the sixth the Bulldogs looked primed to cut the lead further with the bases seemingly loaded after Rochelle reached on a fielder's choice when Parrish threw to third trying for the force out on Taylor Lewandowski.
Lewandowski was called safe by the field umpire, but East Carteret coach Mark Chadwick asked for a second opinion — and he got it, and more. The home plate umpire overruled the call and called Lewandowski out.
"He said the home plate umpire had a better angle," said Buchanan, who felt Lewandowski was safe. "Not a single call went our way, but it's never the officials' fault. That would have not given us the eight runs we needed to tie it. It's frustrating, but that doesn't make or break a game."
Indeed. The Bulldogs' approach at the plate resulted in six infield pop fly outs out of their first 10 outs.
"We spend, I can't even tell, all year talking about putting the ground and not popping up," Buchanan said.
Meanwhile, the bottom third of the Mariners' order was 6 of 11 with four runs and an RBI.
"That's something we've struggled with all year," Buchanan said. "I'm pitching a freshman and a sophomore. We're battling with inexperience."
Even with that, Buchanan said the Mariners looked "a lot better" than the first time Dixon played them.
"The last time we played them it was a good game," she said.
Not so this time — at least not from the Bulldogs' perspective.
"They didn't come out ready to play," Buchanan said. "I don't want to sound ugly or mean, but that's what we look like with four days off."

Some 7,000 people in Scioto County donned their pink shirts Friday to show solidarity with health officials, patients, and personnel who deal with the reality of cancer.
"We have a team effort," Wendi Waugh, Administrative Director of Cancer Services/Community Health and Wellness at Southern Ohio Medical Center, said. "In fact, I'll bet you anywhere you go, you will find pink shirts today. In fact, there are about 7,000 of these lovely pink shirts walking around our community. This is the third year for our Paint it Pink campaign and it just continues to grow every year."
The entire staff at the SOMC Cancer Center was decked out in pink T-shirts, or T-shirts with pink lettering, calling attention to the importance of early detection, treatment, and research centered around cancer.
"Today we are just thinking pink, being pink, anything pink, just to raise awareness for breast cancer and to make a statement in the community," Waugh said. "And really it is not just about breast cancer. This is our one time a year to really get the community involved to say cancer no more. This is the one and only fundraiser we do all year long to fund the Cancer Compassion Fund, which helps all patients, not just breast cancer."
The SOMC Cancer Center has developed two fund accounts to support cancer patients while undergoing active cancer care. These accounts are called the SOMC Patient Compassion Fund and the SOMC Breast Cancer Patient Compassion Fund. The SOMC Patient Compassion Fund supports all patients under active cancer care. The SOMC Breast Cancer Compassion Fund is dedicated to the support of breast cancer patients.
The funds are supported by donations and are utilized for patient assistance needs such as utilities, medications, transportation and common necessities needed during cancer care. The social worker from the Cancer Center collaborates with the Cancer Center Director to determine the needs and allocations of the funds.
"It helps everyone," Waugh said. "Gas, wigs, medication co-pays, and little things that just takes some of those worries and fears out of their treatment for us."
Waugh said businesses such as The Garage Cafe, Wendy's, Buffalo Wild Wings, LaRosa's Pizza, the Scioto Ribber, USEC, Fluor B&W, and many other businesses participated in the event by wearing their pink during the Pink Out on Friday.
"It has really been a wonderful community event," Waugh said.

Johan Goosen's all-round ability has made him a match-winner for school, province and country.
The 2010 season has been a big one for the 18-year-old flyhalf. He has been a stand-out performer in a strong Grey College 1st XV, which earned him provincial selection for Free State at his second Craven Week. After finishing as the top point-scorer at the festival, with 47, and a Man of the Match display against Western Province in their 42-21 triumph in the unofficial final, he was selected for the SA Schools and SA U18 High Performance starting XVs.
Again he played a key role, kicking 15 points in the SA U18's 23-17 victory against England U18. He also kicked 15 points in their 25-5 win over France U18, and scored 12 in their 27-16 win over Namibia U18.
'This season has been a great one for me. I was proud to make the SA Schools side for the first time,' says Goosen. 'My best performance was against England because I kicked some difficult penalties to keep us ahead. After the win, I felt that all the hours I'd spent practising my goal kicking before and after training had been worth it. Free State U21 coach Pine Pienaar has spoken to me about playing for the U19 or U21 sides later this year. I'm excited about that.'
Goosen was born in Burgersdorp in the Eastern Cape, where he attended Burgersdorp Primary before becoming a boarder at Grey College in Bloemfontein. He represented Border at U12 and U13 level in 2003 and 2004, and made the Free State U16 side in 2007. In 2008, he played his first season of 1st XV rugby at Grey College and was selected for the Free State Craven Week and SA U18 High Performance sides.
Grey College 1st XV coach Ingo Machts says Goosen, who is 85kg and 1.85m, has all the attributes of a quality flyhalf.
'Most importantly, he has an accurate boot for goal and tactical kicking, which can help a team build momentum. He also has great attacking and distribution skills and is solid in defence,' says Machts.
'But what makes him a match-winner is his BMT. He keeps a cool head in those pressure situations. He can be a major success at senior level but he needs to be patient and come through the ranks at the right time.'
Goosen was approached by the Bulls in 2008 but has decided to dedicate his short-term future to Free State, signing a two-year junior contract.
'I'm going to take my rugby career seriously next year. I want to stay at Free State because they have good junior teams and have opportunities for youngsters to come through the ranks. After my two years with them, I'll review my options and see what happens.'

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Junior John Crummy scored two runs and drove in three runs with a 3-for-5 performance and Mac Thoreson allowed just one run over eight innings, lifting Miami to an 9-1 victory over Bowling Green Saturday afternoon at Steller Field.
Dan Walsh, Jake Romano and Kevin Bower had two hits each with Romano registering two RBIs. Thoreson (4-5) scattered six hits, walking just one while striking out four.
Miami (22-24, 11-9) came out looking for redemption after falling 5-4 in the ninth yesterday. The RedHawks opened a 1-0 lead after just three batters when Matt Honchel led off the game with a single, took second on a groundout, and scored on a single by Crummy.
The RedHawks broke the game open with a five-run sixth, stringing together six hits in the inning. Romano and Crummy had infield singles before a force out at third. Alex Johnson singled to load the bases, then Chad Sedio drove in a run with a hit through the left side. Walsh followed with a two-run single through the right side. After a pitching change yielded a strikeout, Walsh stole second, setting up Ryan Elble for single that drove in two more runs, making the score 6-0.
Bowling Green (15-24, 9-11) tried to rally, starting its sixth with a leadoff home run and putting a runner on second with one out, but Thoreson limited the damage with a couple groundouts.
Miami added to the lead in the seventh. Romano beat out an infield single before Crummy tripled to deep center. Bower stroked a single to left to put the RedHawks up 8-1. The Falcons' defense prevented more damage as Bower was later thrown out at home trying to score on a single by Walsh.
An RBI single by Romano in the eighth capped the scoring. Wynston McMartin closed out the contest with a 1-2-3 ninth, registering one strikeout. BGSU starter Mike Frank took the loss, giving up six runs before leaving in the sixth.
The rubber game of the series takes place tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. at Steller Field.

The Commission for Culture and Olympic Education advises the IOC on the promotion of culture and Olympic education and supports the IOC programmes and activities related to the education of youth through sport.
Inspired by this tradition of gathering cultural and sporting events, the modern Games became the opportunity for exchange between cultures and Olympic education. The IOC has acknowledged its particular responsibility in terms of promoting culture and Olympic education, and regards culture as the second dimension of Olympism, alongside sport.
The Commission for Culture and Olympic education was created in 2000 by the merger of two existing Commissions:- The Cultural Commission- The IOC Commission for the International Olympic Academy and Olympic EducationIts role is to advise the IOC Executive Board on what policy the IOC and Olympic Movement should adopt in terms of the promotion of culture and Olympic education and, through its members, supports the IOC programmes and activities in this field.
The IOC has played an important role in the development of the culture and Olympic education agenda, by establishing a policy that seeks to provide greater resources to their promotion in and through sport at national, regional and international level, and particularly at the Olympic Games. This policy has two main objectives: - It strives to develop the link between sport and culture in all its forms, encourages cultural exchange and promotes the diversity of cultures.- It also aims to promote Olympic education and supports other institutions which adhere to the values of Olympism.
It is based on the principles enshrined in the Olympic Charter (Fundamental Principles):- Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.- The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

I am getting ready to sell over 1000 comic books and was curious if anyone out there may be interested. I am trying to sell off some stuff to save up for a down payment for a house. I have one that I will be selling later this year but, some of you that know me know what is going on , I can't wait around to the house sells. Anyway, I would like to sell them "locally" instead of posting them on ebay if I can. You can post a response or pm me if you want to know what I have. Most of it is "Modern" but I do have some "Silver" and "Bronze" age stuff as well.
For those of you that are piqued with curiosity Golden, Silver, Bronze and Modern Age refers to the year it was published.
Gold is about 1938 to 1955. Origins of heroes like Superman & Batman.
Silver is 1955 to 1969. Spiderman and Fantastic Four are created.
Bronze is 1970 to 1980. A lot of the writing is kinda of hippy and/or political. Same characters. Some war stuff
Modern is 1980 to now. Art gets really good and in the mid to late 1990s the writing starts turning from corny to more character developement and some of the main characters get really fleshed out.
Anyway...If anyone is interested or knows someone that is let me know. Thanks

GREENSBORO – When the 2012-13 basketball season began for Ashbrook, the goal was to avenge last year's loss in the third round of the playoffs and advance to the Western Regionals in Greensboro.
The Green Wave met that goal, but Wednesday night's end to the season was still bitter – if for no other reason than it came in a loss to crosstown rival Hunter Huss.
"The only team we lost to in 2013 was Huss," said Ashbrook coach Chad Duncan, who lost 73-53 to the Huskies in the regional semifinals at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center. "And we did that three times."
Ashbrook's season ended at 21-9 – and with the school's first regional appearance since 2006. Ashbrook was 7-6 after going 1-2 in a holiday tournament in Wilmington in December before losing only to Huss in the 2013 calendar year.
Wednesday's loss also ended the career of four seniors who took great pride in helping the Green Wave back to basketball greatness this season.
Grant Stafford, Antonio Blalock and Delshon Leach were two-year starters, with Alex Linder being a key rotation player for each of his two seasons.
"They've done a lot to bring this program back," said Duncan, whose team has improved in each of his four years as coach – from 8-16 to 16-9 to 18-9 to 20-9. "We're very proud of them and, hopefully, this taste will make the younger players want to continue this into next year."
Blalock, the team's leading scorer, finished with 18 in Wednesday's loss.
"This is going to hurt, knowing it's the last time I'll put on my Ashbrook jersey," Blalock said. "But it was very important to come in and make Ashbrook better and turn the program in a different direction. I just wish we could've kept it going."
Stafford, whose 21 points led last Friday's 64-59 overtime victory at Foard that advanced the Green Wave this far, joined Leach in double-figures with 10 points on Wednesday.
"I love the team we had, the (Ashbrook student section) 'Zoo Crew' and everybody who supported us," Stafford said. "I just wish it could've ended differently."
Next year, Ashbrook expects to return three key varsity players, four junior varsity call-ups during that team's championship season and will add a standout center who sat out the season.
Junior Trey Dellinger is the only returning starter, with juniors Tristen Rodriguez and sophomore Austin Mitchell also returning from the varsity. Sophomore Tyler Williams and freshmen Z'Andre Givens, Jeff Glenn and Malik Gingler were promoted during or after varsity assistant coach Richard Carsner's 17-3, 11-1 Big South 3A Conference co-championship junior varsity season.
And 6-foot-6 Isaiah Whaley, a standout on Grier Middle School's county runner-up team last season, will be eligible to play again after sitting out the 2012-13 school year due to the Gaston County Schools transfer policy.
"I just told them how proud I was of what they accomplished," Duncan said of his post-game talk with his team. "It's been a good season and definitely nothing to hang their heads about. Huss just hit shots in the second half and we couldn't keep up."

Dog Pink Eye
Dog Conjunctivitis (Canine Pink Eye)
Signs and Symptoms
For most dog owners, seeing their beloved canine in any kind of distress or discomfort is an unsettling experience. When a dog gets sick, it can't communicate to us exactly what's wrong, so it is up to the pet owner to pay close attention to the different behaviors and symptoms of the sick animal. One of the more common afflictions to strike dogs is Conjunctivitis, otherwise known as Dog Pinkeye. Much like the name indicates, this condition can be easily recognized by the pronounced pink color of the afflicted dog's eye. The eye will take on the appearance of being severely bloodshot or irritated. While minor irritations and debris in the eye can often cause a similar symptom, Pinkeye tends to last for several days to a week or more.
Along with the pronounced pink color in the eyeball, the surrounding tissue, such as the eyelid and other nearby areas, will become swollen or inflamed. The severity of inflammation varies with each case, ranging from a minor swelling to highly inflamed membranes, which can cause the eye to be swollen shut. In addition to the swelling, the infected eye will often begin to emit a distinctive discharge. While some eye discharge is actually quite normal in most dogs, with Canine Conjunctivitis the discharge will be far more pronounced, often mixed with pus. This fluid can build up around the eye, impeding your dog's ability to blink or open its eye normally.
In order to diagnose a case of Pinkeye, it is important to keep a close watch on your dog's behavior. As foreign objects in the eye can cause irritation that resembles the symptoms of Pinkeye, simply observing eye color is not enough. You do not want to treat your dog with medication for Pinkeye when it has merely been scratching an itch, or experiencing minor irritation from a stray eyelash.
Canines respond to a case of Conjunctivitis in quite distinctive ways, and the condition can radically alter your pet's regular routine. If your dog is accustomed to playing outside during the daylight hours, and is usually alert and inquisitive, you will likely notice that it now prefers to remain in dark or poorly lit areas. The afflicted animal may begin to sleep more often during the day. This is largely because the infected eye becomes increasingly sensitive to light, making regular daylight activity a painful experience.
Since Pinkeye can cause severe itching as a result of the inflammation of the eye, you may notice your dog behaving rather strangely, for example; rubbing its face against the edge of furniture or on the floor. It may also use its paw, repeatedly attempting to wipe away discharge or scratch the itch. While this strange rubbing behavior may initially appear comical, it is rather serious, and if you notice your dog displaying these signs, you need to act accordingly. A dog collar is an excellent way of isolating the afflicted area, preventing the animal from rubbing the eye excessively and causing further damage.
Another way to diagnose Pinkeye is by paying attention to the amount of tears that your dog produces. While it is normal for a dog to tear in response to light, dust and other common occurrences, Pinkeye will provoke a massive increase in the amount of fluid produced by your animal's tear ducts. This is because the eye is utilizing its self-cleaning mechanism, trying to flush out the afflicted area.
Finally, if your dog appears to be showing signs of pain and does not have any other outward signs of injury or distress, it's always a good idea to take a closer look at the eyes. Wincing or whimpering may be a sign that your dog has Pinkeye.
Conjunctivitis is an infection that affects the eyes and membranes of many mammals, including both humans and dogs. The specific area that the infection acts upon is the conjunctiva, which is a fairly loose membrane that surrounds the eyeball, holding it in place and shielding it. This membrane also extends into the eyelid. This tissue is connected at a number of different points to the eyeball, and is integral in the maintenance and wellbeing of the whole ocular system. In fact, one of the primary responsibilities of the conjunctiva is ensuring that the eyeball remains properly lubricated at all times, through the distribution of tears and moisture.
When your dog becomes infected with a case of Conjunctivitis, it means that the mucous membranes that surround the eyeball have experienced a build up of harmful agents, most likely viral or bacterial. In fact, there are different kinds of pinkeye, which can be caused by different invading agents, and will result in symptoms of varying severity. Once a sufficient build up of these invading agents has occurred, the natural function of the eye's membranes will be disrupted. This means that tear ducts and other specialized cells responsible for creating moisture will no longer function properly, and the eye will become dry and scratchy. Without proper lubrication, each blink is a painful undertaking, and in some severe cases, blinking may cause significant damage to the eye.
Although Conjunctivitis is a fairly common infection that usually does not lead to anything serious, if left untreated it can progress into a potentially life-threatening illness. Dogs that already suffer from a weakened immune system, either as a result of injury or other illness, are much more prone to developing a protracted, more harmful case of Conjunctivitis. One of the dangerous symptoms of a case of dog pinkeye that has progressed for too long is a perforated cornea. The infection can spread from the membranes surrounding the eyeball to the eyeball itself, where it can corrode the tissue and lead to small holes or perforations. This process of perforation can lead to your dog having difficulty with its vision, and in some extreme cases has been known to cause blindness.
Another potential side effect of Conjunctivitis is scarring of the sensitive membrane tissue. If left untreated, this kind of scarred and malformed tissue development can cause further problems with ingrown eyelashes and improper functioning of the eyelid. This kind of chronic condition is very painful and irritating for the dog.
Canine Conjunctivitis or Dog Pinkeye comes in a number of different forms, and can be caused by a number of different factors. One of the most common causes is an irritant in the eye, which leads to inflammation and eventually infection. This can be anything from dirt to a piece of wood to a small insect. Damage to the eye can often result from a scuffle your dog as been in with another animal, leading to the development of pinkeye in many cases.
Aside from foreign bodies, Conjunctivitis is caused by either viral or bacterial infections. The bacterial variety is the most common form of this infection, and is typically spread by contact. This can mean contact with humans who are carrying the disease, other dogs, or even flying insects. The viral kind of Pinkeye is transmitted in much the same way. Some of the viruses that cause Pinkeye are airborne, and little can be done to protect against them. This kind of infection is much more common during the winter, when viruses tend to proliferate due to the humidity and dampness of the air. Another potential cause is an allergic reaction. Your dog may be sensitive to certain kinds of perfume, foods, or other allergens associated with the onset of spring. These allergens can cause sinus irritation as well as inflammation of the mucus membranes, and often leads to the development of Pinkeye.
Dog Pink Eye Treatment
In order to properly treat your dog's case of pinkeye, it is important to closely assess the condition of the eye first. If a foreign object appears to be lodged somewhere in or around the eyeball or other nearby mucous membranes, flush the area with a large quantity of lukewarm water. Make sure that the water is only slightly warm, so as to avoid causing any damage to the eyeball. You may also want to use a soft cloth to wipe the area around your dog's eye, cleaning away excess discharge and being sure to remove any dirt or foreign materials. Avoid excessive wiping, as this may also lead to complications. If you see something that looks like it has been stuck in the eye area, call your veterinarian, and do not try to take the object out of the dog's eye yourself.
Since Conjunctivitis is an infection that strikes the eye, one of the most delicate and sensitive areas of the body for dogs and humans alike, the best way to treat the problem is with a natural, herbal remedy. Petwellbeing.com offers a number of different herbal supplements that are extremely effective in combating infections and inflammations of various kinds. Perhaps the best option is a product called Eye Easy for Dogs. This liquid remedy comes in a small bottle with a built-in applicator, making it easy to squeeze a few drops into your dog's eye. Eye Easy is composed of a variety of different herbal compounds. Ingredients include chamomile, which acts to reduce inflammation and swelling around the eye, and can also lessen associated pain and itching and allow your dog to relax and get some much-needed rest. Eyebright is another herb that is effective in fighting bacteria, and also acts to reduce swelling. Finally, a mixture of goldenseal and rosemary combines to work against inflammation and reduce your dog's susceptibility to further problems.
1.Soak a washcloth in lukewarm water. Wring the washcloth out and gently wipe any discharge away from your dog's eye.
2.Look for and remove any foreign objects in your dog's eye.
3.Flush your dog's eye with lukewarm water or artificial tears for humans that have no preservatives. This is especially important if you were unable to see any foreign objects in your dog's eye.
4.Put a compress on your dog's eye. This can be a clean washcloth that has been soaked in lukewarm water and wrung out, then folded into a square. Hold the compress gently to your dog's eye–don't apply pressure. Be sure to use a different compress for each eye so you don't spread the infection.
5.Repeat Steps 1, 3 and 4 as necessary until your dog's pink eye goes away.
