“…In 1998, the National Council on the Aging survey of 1,300 women (aged 1 60) reported that 48% were sexually active (sex at least once per month). In that group, women are less likely to have sex if they have found no available partner or because of health problems [4] . Because female sexual disorders have been less studied overall than male disorders, our knowledge about FSD is limited.…”

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a significant age-related, progressive and highly prevalent problem that affects a substantial number of women that causes personal distress and has negative effects on quality of life and interpersonal relationships. Definitions: The female sexual response cycle consists of three phases: desire, arousal, and orgasm, and is initiated by non-adrenergic/non-cholinergic, e.g. vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and nitric oxide, neurotransmitters that maintain vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle relaxation resulting in increased pelvic blood flow, vaginal lubrication, and clitoral and labial engorgement. Furthermore, hormonal status may influence female sexual function. For the diagnosis of FSD, a detailed history should be taken initially, followed by a physical examination and laboratory studies. Conclusion: Due to the fact that there has been little research and attention on FSD, our knowledge in this field is quite limited and there is still no approved therapy. Future advances in evaluation and treatment of female sexual problems are forthcoming.

Many veterinarians recommend using a "Quality of Life Scale" to help pet caregivers assess their aging or terminally ill pet's condition. Having a semi-objective scale can help you when your pet is ill and you are confused or worried that you might not be thinking clearly enough to make a proper decision on your pet's behalf. Dr Alice Villalobos, a renowned veterinary oncologist, created a scale for assessing quality of life called the HHHHHMM Scale: Hurt, Hunger, Hydration, Hygiene, Happiness, Mobility and More Good Days than Bad. Talk with your pet's primary care veterinarian or one of GVR's veterinarians on the proper use and interpretation of the scale, or for questions about assessing your pet's condition. Here is a link to Dr. Villalobos' scale: http://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/vet-practice-newscolumns/bond-beyond/quality-of-life-scale.aspx In-Home EuthanasiaAccording to the Veterinary Practice Act of Georgia, only a licensed veterinarian can perform euthanasia of an animal. It is also important to have a skilled, licensed veterinarian available in the rare event that complications occur. The following veterinarians offer in-home euthanasia services; if you have utilized the services of any of the following and are willing to confidentially share your experience, or have another service to recommend, please speak with one of GVR's veterinarians.

Transitions Home Euthanasia (M.G. McReynolds, DVM) www.transitionshomeeuthanasia.com (404) 522-1001 Pet CrematoriesMany times veterinarians will arrange for a crematory to pick up a pet's body for cremation if the client has elected to have his or her pet's body cremated. However, some crematories allow clients to bring the pet's body to the crematory themselves if they prefer, or might offer to pick up the body. We recommend that you phone ahead to inquire about the policy of your veterinarian and the crematory.
