Warm-UpWarm-Up• What does this photo mean to you?

Health RisksHealth Risks• Zoonosis: diseases that can be

transmitted from animals to humans– Example Rabies

• An acute, infectious, often fatal viral disease of most warm-blooded animals, especially wolves, cats, and dogs, that attacks the central nervous system and is transmitted by the bite of infected animals.

Video Qs for DiscussionVideo Qs for Discussion• In the 1800s how was it believed you received a

disease?• What happened to the chickens?• How did they test their theory about chicken

cholera?• Why did Pasteur study disease?• What did they inject the chickens with the first

time? The second time?• What was the result?• What had they discovered?• What do they let Pasteur do to the sheep?• What was the result?• What happened to the shepherd boy?• How did Pasteur cure the sick boy?• Explain why this was a HUGE achievement (BIG

DEAL!) for health science in humans and animals.

Health RisksHealth Risks

• Hookworm/Round worms– Parasites:

organisms that live with or on another host. Host provides the sustenance (food)

• Infected through contact with feces

Health RisksHealth Risks• Taxoplasma:

parasite contracted by humans in contact with handling raw meat and cat litter

Health RisksHealth Risks

• Ring Worm: skin disease caused by a fungus

• Spread through contact with infected animals, and articles

Health Risks Health Risks

• Salmonella: bacteria carried by many animals (particularly reptiles, puppies)

• Infected through contact with raw meat, animal, or feces.

Health RisksHealth Risks• Lyme Disease

– Viral infection as result of a tick bite from an infected tick

Activity: Fishbone on Activity: Fishbone on DiseaseDisease

• Use your book to fill in your fishbone worksheet

• For each illness presented outline the cause, and transmission (how it spreads to humans) which result in health risks to humans

Warm Up Warm Up

• What is happening? What is being prevented?

PracticesPractices

• To Prevent Health Risks– Always properly wash your hands after

handling an animal, any equipment etc

– Wash for 30 seconds OR• Sing a verse of Old McDonald while you

wash!

Safety! What does it mean?Safety! What does it mean?

• Definition: a device or practice designed to prevent injury or accidents

• What does this mean to us?

• Practice safety every day!

PracticesPractices

• To Prevent injury – Restraints: keep under control – Types

• Ropes• Poles• Cages and Carriers • Muzzles • E- collar

Activity Break!Activity Break!• For each animal in the

lab– Explain in your own

words • How do you handle

that animal?– Give it in steps!

• Why do you need to handle this animal in this way?

– Is there something special about this animal that requires you to handle it in a special way?

• What should you be worried about when handling this animal?

• Animals in the lab– Chinchilla– Mouse– Guinea Pig– Gerbil– Rabbit

Basic Guidelines for Animal Basic Guidelines for Animal SafetySafety

• 1. Always be dressed appropriately

GuidelinesGuidelines

• 2. Always WASH– Hands, Clothes, Equipment


• Be smart about contamination– No dirty hands on your face– Don’t eat or drink around animals


• 3. Throw it away!– Dispose of trash properly!


• 4. Use your knowledge– Learn proper handling techniques– Know what to do in case of emergency

• First Aide!

Activity Break!Activity Break!• Make an ACRONYM

– A What!? – Acronym: a word formed from the initial

letters of the several words in the name – Example:

•Stop risks• from Animal bites• or Feces and urine.•Educate yourself• about Transmission• to protect Yourself.

Our Lab ProceduresOur Lab Procedures

KEEP IN MINDKEEP IN MIND• Misconduct with or around the

animals is a Level II offense and will be written up.

• More hands make the work lighter– Perform your assigned task completely. – Tasks will be rotated weekly.

• Your performance will be evaluated. – Poor performance will result in no

animal privileges.

Step 1: Receive you Animal Step 1: Receive you Animal

• You be broken up into groups of 2-4 students.

• The groups will be assigned a cage to clean.

• Each group will be required to complete each step correctly and completely before being evaluated by the teacher.

Removing your animalRemoving your animal

• 1 student will be responsible for watching the animal once removed from the cage. – The animal is either held in the lap or

placed in a holding container• Acceptable holding containers include

– Box, Ball (mice only), or Hide A Way house

Safe Handling of your Safe Handling of your AnimalAnimal

• Rabbit• Mice


• ALWAYS SUPPORT YOUR ANIMAL’S FULL WEIGHT!


• Rat• Chinchilla


Parakeets do not get removed from their cage

Snakes cages are cleaned once a month only.

• Hedgehog

Cleaning your Cage: Small Cleaning your Cage: Small AnimalsAnimals• Step 1: Remove animal to a safe secure place.

No Escaping! • Step 2: Empty your dirty bedding into the

large trash can. – You can use a scope or CAREFULLY carry the cage and

dump it

• Step 3: WIPE OUT the cage with a wet paper towel and any available cleaner

• Step 4: Add new bedding– 2 inches of chips (LOW OIL)– 1 hand full (about a cup)

• Cedar (for smell) (NONE for hedgies) • Shredded news paper (add 2 hand fulls for mice and rats) None

for Ferrets

• Step 5: Replace animal in the cage, remove and throw out old food

• Step 6: Sweep ALL bedding around your cage onto the floor. It will be swept up.

Cleaning your cage: BirdsCleaning your cage: Birds• Step 1: Remove bottom

Feeding your AnimalFeeding your Animal• Rats and Mice

– MORE PELLETS THAN SEEDS– Mixture of seeds and pellets. Fill the

bowls on Wed , Top off bowls on Friday, Fill halfway on Mondays

• Hedgies– Fill bowl with pellets. Cover the top with

meal worms (Only on Wednesday

• Rabbits– Top off gravity feed bins. Hand full of hay

Feeding your AnimalFeeding your Animal• Chinchilla

– Fill bowl half full with pellets. Hand full of hay

• Guinea Pigs– Line the bottom of bowl with feed. Hand full of

hay

• Birds– Fill bird seed container

• Ferrets– Fill feed container

Almost Done!Almost Done!

• Finally water your animal! • Dump out the old water• Run HOT water in the water bottle• Dump out hot water• Refill water bottle with cold water• Place the water bottle properly in the

cage

Take a MomentTake a Moment• After the animal has been clean, fed,

and watered:– Take a moment to observe your animal.

• Is it acting strangely? • Does it appear to be in good health? • No signs of pain or injury?

• Make sure ALL openings in the cage are secure. – Contact teacher immediately if there is

a problem

Finishing Touches Finishing Touches • When animals are out, observe for

health – Nails need to be cut? Lesions? Tender

areas sensitive to pain?

• Report to teacher for evaluation of cage once completed

• Wait quietly until dismissed– You may “play” with your animal after

you have been cleared by your teacher

ConclusionConclusion• Having animals is a privilege!! • Lets take care of them!

• Take the quiz! • Turn it in! • Will be graded!• Passing= allowed to sign the paper

stating you are qualified to care for our critters!
