A decision to withdraw funding for an organisation that provides advice for school governors has been called a "kick in the teeth".
Governors Wales was wound up at the end of March after the Welsh Government cut its £150,000 grant.
Hugh Pattrick, one if its founders, said the decision was "utterly appalling".
But the Welsh Government said most governors were supported by local authorities.
Mr Pattrick, from Pontneddfechan, near Neath, co-founded Governors Wales in 1995 and was its vice-chairman.
He said the funding cut was "a kick in the teeth to the 21,000 school governors in Wales".
Support 'isn't there'
Geraint Lewis Jones, chairman of governors at Ysgol Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd in Denbighshire, said: "I think it will be a big loss because it's enough of a problem now to attract governors to many schools.
"This will make it less attractive when we know that there isn't that support there."
Governors set the strategic direction of a school and hold school leaders accountable.
They include members of teaching staff, parents, councillors and community representatives and have a central role in decisions about budgets and recruitment.
The Welsh Government said protecting frontline schools spending was its priority.
"We recognise the important contribution governors make but the overwhelming majority access support and advice from their local authorities rather than Governors Wales", a spokesperson said.
"The education secretary has been very clear that in order to protect frontline delivery for schools, difficult decisions have had to be made."

Darius I, or Darius the Great, consolidated the Persian Empire founded by Cyrus II. We know more about Darius than any other of the kings of the Persian Empire since we have two major literary sources on his life.
The first is an inscription at Behistun in modern-day Iran that Darius had carved into a mountain rock face high up above one of the key trade routes from Mesopotamia to the Iranian high plateau. It describes how in the early years of Darius’s reign he reestablished the empire after the rebellions following the death of Cambyses II. The second source is the Histories of Herodotus of Halicarnassus (c. 480–c. 429 b.c.e.), a Greek who wrote describing the expansion of the Persian Empire from Cyrus to Xerxes I.
Darius was born about 550 b.c.e., son of Hystaspes, who was later the satrap of Parthia. Our first reference to Darius is as an officer in Cambyses II’s Egyptian army of occupation. On Cambyses’ death early in 522 b.c.e. Darius went straight to Media to press his claim to the throne through a common great-great-grandfather with Cambyses, Achaemenes. In the fall of 522 b.c.e. Darius, with six coconspirators, killed the usurper claimant Gaumata, and to consolidate his claim soon thereafter married two of Cyrus’s daughters, and one of his granddaughters, in addition to taking three other wives.
However, Darius’s claim was not easily accepted, and there was unrest throughout the empire. In the Behistun inscription Darius speaks of rebellions in more than half of the satrapies of the empire, including in the greatest city of the day—Babylon. Unlike Cyrus who was welcomed almost as the savior of Babylon, Darius was looked on differently and only subdued Babylon after a siege and punishment by execution of 3,000 of the surviving leading citizens. Even then a second rebellion took place in Babylon some years later. It took until December 521 b.c.e. for all of the rebellions in other parts of the empire to be stamped out, and another few years before the empire was totally at peace.
Although Darius was successful militarily, his greatest achievement was the creation of an effective administration for the empire. According to Herodotus, as soon as peace was established Darius set up 20 satrapies, or administrative districts. In each of the satrapies he established tax systems and recruitment requirements for his armies. He also built systems of royal roads and set up along them places where a change of horses, food, and lodging could be found for those moving about the empire. With such a far-flung empire the satraps in charge of each satrapy had to operate with a significant degree of independence from the central government. However, that independence had the potential to threaten the emperor’s control, and Darius set up a system of inspectors known as the “king’s eyes” whose job it was to check on the effectiveness and loyalty of the satraps. The improved road system and the construction of massive military granaries allowed for a large army and for the army to move about the empire with relative ease. In addition, Darius built a canal, completed in 498 b.c.e., connecting the Nile with the Red Sea, and thereby the Persian Gulf, which allowed trade by ship to go on across the width of the empire.
The building of roads also benefi ted trade and building projects in that materials could be more easily brought from distant parts of the empire to the place of construction. Palace cities were built in Susa and at Persepolis, the new Persian capital, and the construction of both probably benefited from the increased access to materials from other parts of the empire. Even today the ruins of Persepolis suggest something of its former glory as the ceremonial capital of the empire. Each spring the most important of the rites, the New Year Ceremony, was enacted in Persepolis, and annual tribute was received from ambassadors representing every part of the empire.
Darius followed Cyrus’s example with a religious policy tolerant of a wide variety of gods. By way of example, in September 518 b.c.e. Darius visited Egypt, and Egyptian inscriptions record how he gave precious gifts to the key temples and paid homage to many of the most important gods. Similarly, we have evidence of his offering sacrifices to Babylonian and Elamite gods and to the Greek god Apollo, who, as a god of wisdom, was taken as the Greek counterpart of the Persian high god Ahuramazda. His religious policy is also illustrated by the case of the Jews who had been promised funds by Cyrus to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Opposition by the Samaritans had prevented this, and the Bible records how the Jews petitioned Darius to look through the palace archives to find Cyrus’s original decree and thereby to prove the legitimacy of their project. Darius found the decree and gave his permission for the reconstruction of the Jerusalem temple, which began in 515 b.c.e.
In 499 b.c.e. the Greek cities in Asia Minor rebelled, and it took fi ve years for the Persians to regain control of the region. In 490 b.c.e. Darius sent out another expedition, this time against the European part of the Greek-speaking world. The Persians captured a number of Greek islands and then landed at Marathon, some miles from Athens. The famous Battle of Marathon, though paraded by the Greeks as their victory, was not a full one since from that time on the Persians controlled the Aegean Sea and set this as their westernmost boundary. In November 486 b.c.e. Darius died at the age of 64. Starting with a loose collection of provinces, he had created a strong and well-organized empire to hand on to his successor Xerxes, the eldest son of his first wife.

Shameless self-promotion! Lyle Mays concert tonight in Dallas.
Legacy Forum Post
started a topic
over 13 years ago
Just thought that there might be some people on here from DFW that would be interested in knowing about this concert tonight... Lyle Mays and the UNT 1 O'Clock Lab Band, as well as Lyle Mays and the Faculty Jazz ensemble. There are some killer mallet parts (me ;)) as well as some really cool arrangements of Pat Metheny Group tunes like Heat of the Day and Long Life, as well as some Lyle Mays original big band charts.
Hope some of you can make it! I'd buy tickets ASAP, as these bigger concerts tend to sell out.


text: By Beth Morris I've only been operating under this "special needs parent" label for four years, but I've picked up a few things along the way that might be helpful to parents with typical children who aren't sure how to respond to unfamiliar social behaviors. Kids are naturally curious and, as any parent knows, they are brutally honest with questions and comments. Usually all of the questions I've gotten from kids are genuinely sincere because they are curious, and often times their parents are mortified and immediately apologize for their child's natural inquisitiveness. Here are a few scenarios and pointers to help "typical parents" get through those awkward, yet normal social encounters. Let Me Introduce Myself If you suddenly find yourself in a position where your child is loudly asking you, "What's wrong with her eyes? Why are they doing that?" as he points to my child – take a deep breath and relax. This may be the first time you have had to deal with such an uncomfortable situation, but it's not mine, so let me give you a bit of advice. Take this opportunity and make it a teachable moment for your child. Remind them that not all people are made the same, and that we are all unique in our own way. Introduce yourself to my daughter and demonstrate for your child how to conduct oneself in an uncomfortable or new situation. Curiosity in children is innate but, as parents, it's sometimes necessary to illustrate to our kids how to initiate kindness. What Are You Up To? Naturally, children with global developmental delays don't always follow the same milestone calendar as typically developing kids. Whether it's gross or fine motor, walking, speaking or holding a utensil, children with delays hit milestones at their own pace. They are often enrolled in hours of therapy on a weekly basis and their parents are responsible for the follow-through and making sure their child's ‘homework' is done. As the parent of a child who didn't walk until she was almost 2, and still needs hand-over-hand assistance to use a utensil at the age of 4, I can tell you that questions like "Is she walking yet?" and "How many words does she say?" are both hard to hear, and hard to answer. When asking a parent how their special needs child is progressing, consider saying, "What is she up to these days?" or "What is he working on?" I have no doubt that the people asking the questions are asking because they genuinely care about my child and her progress, but when 15 people ask the question over the course of a month it's sometimes hard to focus on the positives, and can feel a little defeating as a parent. Try to ask your questions in a casual, open-ended way that allows for a parent to fill in the blanks. Same but Different Children have big imaginations and, like many adults, approach new situations with natural wonder and curiosity. As parents, it's our responsibility to recognize moments that can teach not only our children, but ourselves, about empathy and kindness. There is nothing wrong with asking questions. After all, we are all the same, but a little different. Beth Morris is a stay-at-home mom to her daughter who was diagnosed with WAGR syndrome.

AS RENTAL MARKETS turn in many areas of the country, some smaller markets actually look ripe for new development. So Apartment Finance Today contacted New York-based research firm Reis and asked it to cull its apartment sector database for metros that have experienced low supply growth relative to the metros' historical long-term averages.
Here is a look at three markets that could be fertile for growth.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.
Nestled at the base of Pike's Peak Mountain, Colorado Springs holds promise for multifamily developers. The city, which frequently shows up on various lists of the best places to live in the country, enjoys demand fueled by five military bases, including that of The Air Force Academy. The market has also seen a stunning lack of movement on the transactions front: Only seven properties have changed hands this year. Meanwhile, only one new property came online in the past two years. The market's vacancy rate is 6.9 percent and will probably fall considering the thin pipeline. The problem, however, is rents: They're at $0.87 per square foot and need to jump to $1.20 or $1.25 per square foot to make new construction work. Still, after a couple of years with no supply, the demand may well be there to make those numbers work.
Columbus has a lot going for it. To begin with, Ohio State University—with its massive campus—is based there. It's also the state capital and home to companies such as Battelle Memorial Institute, Limited Brands, Nationwide Insurance, and Owens Corning. This economic diversity has helped the city weather the recession relatively well. Now, it's a place some people are looking to build. For instance, Columbus-based Nationwide Realty Investors has started construction on Flats on the Vine, a 232-unit building in the area's arena district. That district, which boasts jobs in the medical, insurance, and creative sectors, also continues to add office space, which bodes well for future development.
The largest city in Kentucky, Louisville is best known for the Kentucky Derby and college sports. But it's been a good place for rental operators, as well. The city is moving up the list of Carrollton, Texasbased M/PF Research's national market rankings. “Apartment occupancy is now back up to around 95 percent, having already recovered the slight loss that was seen a couple of years ago,” says Greg Willett, vice president of research and analysis at M/PF. “And rents are beginning to inch up. The metro seems positioned for a very solid performance over the near term.”


Jada Pinkett Smith is never one to shy away from an out-of-the-box hairstyle, but she's taken her edgy style to the next level. The actress was spotted out and about last night sporting a voluminous ponytail that showed off her shaved sides . . . bleached a shocking shade of blonde. Her style was accentuated by her over-the-top pompadour and ombré locks. That's three hair colours for Jada at this point, and her bleached sides are definitely awe-inducing, but are you a fan or not?


Well as i reported in my previous article about the Big Beach Boutique phenomenon, the Brighton and Hove council met last week to discuss the future of Norman Cooks beach partys.
The council and the police met in chambers to discuss the previous event and what went wrong in respect of public official attendance i.e: Police, Ambulance and the likes. The police have admitted that they were caught off guard, and if they had known what the response was going to be they would have called in more officers. However they have also given a hint of hope for futher events, by saying that they would have no problem in the future if thing's were co-ordinated a bit more.
Norman when asked about the possibility of another event has said " Itís about 50-50. In Brighton thereís a positive attitude. The idea was to have a laugh. When I go shopping in Waitrose, everyone says to me ĎYouíve got to do it againí. The thing is I canít do it again unless I can guarantee safety."
Norman is determined not to charge for future events and has vowed to look into ways of keeping it a free event for all.

There’s so many things that I want to say about this session. I’ve been quite the obsessed little girl looking them over and over wondering which ones to pick to blog. I love working with this family… and it all started here. Way back when I was starting to shoot birth sessions. Baby Luke was only my second birth session and I’d say that pretty much after that day, I was hooked. We continued to work together throughout the years and my love for these boys just keeps on multiplying. The joy I feel when photographing them translates through my lens into my heart like no other. As always Sam steels the show. There wasn’t a time that his eyes weren’t fixed on my camera. When it comes to shy kids and fear of being photographed, Sam has completely overcome his like a pro. Partly because his momma is another photography lover and I’m sure he’s seen a lens in front of his cute little face ever since the day he was born. And Luke, well I can voucher for that since I was the one taking his picture in the delivery room. The baby with buns of steel. (I always remember this when taking pictures of other babies. Haha. Oh Luke.) This time we tried something new. Getting dirty. Mud-ding. I’m sure that the next time, the boys will be a bit older and we will be soaking each other with water balloons, who knows. It’s always a pleasure and I can’t wait to do it again. Love you guys.

Black Friday is the biggest day of the year for retailers but today was much more important for those considering retail stocks. The release of October retail sales from the government and earnings reports from 2 of the biggest merchants in the world marked the peak of the data deluge making this a perfect time to sift through the numbers and see what we’ve learned.
The data has been surprisingly strong given the dour reports about the mood of consumers. As my partner Matt Nesto pointed out, the 0.6% ex-autos retail sales growth reported for October was the best since last March. Even better, Nesto notes that the figure was 0.7%, ex-autos and gas, and up 7.4% from last year. The numbers were stellar, but Nesto, like many investors, dismisses them as a “data diversion” taking our tired eyes off of Europe and the government’s next carnival of ineptitude: The Super Committee set for later this month.

This is farther than the truth, the statement from an official of the APC sounds distasteful to any discerning mind following the political events in Nigeria. I am not a member of any political party but I had worked tirelessly to the realization of Muhammadu Buhari Presidency since 2003 and related closely with the current President in this attempt towards the Interventionist plan. Yours sincerely was at several times harassed by the President Olusegun Obasanjo's goon of unrepentant Intolerance of a civilian dictatorship. It is worthy to note that the Buhari's phenomenon was a long history of commitment, resilience and devotion which did not start with the 2015 Presidential election. It is seed planted to survive a deity of suppression and massive oppression of people's will. The fact that the Idea did not succeed in past does not mean that the miniscule looming of the Inevitability was supplanted, it was just a matter of time for the Idea to become realizable and it happen in 2015 with the apparent pliability of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the dexterity of the electorates. If the truth must be told, the South West geographical zone, being highly disenchanted with the political compensation menu offered to them by the then President Jonathan's government, coupling with the frustrations of former President Obasanjo's desire to muscle the then President amongst others provided the Buhari's Presidency a common point for rallying a massive support. Muhammadu Buhari had in 2011 Presidential election cornered about Twelve Million votes to his side, this is no small success, considering the fact that he did that almost single handedly in his new political party, the Congress of Progressive Change (CPC) having broke off from the rancorous All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP). This mean feat is unparallel in the history of the Nigerian Political Contest. The merger of ANPP, CPC and the erstwhile Action Congress of Nigerian (ACN) with the segregated faction of All People Grand Alliance (APGA) which produced APC had no option than to adopt Muhammadu Buhari as its Presidential Candidate in order to succeed and it did. Without Muhammadu Buhari as its Presidential Candidate in 2015 election, APC would have lost the election and it is doubtful if most of the governors that won under the platform of the APC will ever win. Muhammadu Buhari had a personality of Incorruptibility and high passion for national progress mixed with the spirit of patriotism that no any politician ever had. When the South -west came out of its regional political cocoon to adopt the candidature of Buhari, I was initially skeptical about the Intentions and the politicians from that region that are canvassing for this support made my skepticism even deeper for obvious reasons. It is strange and the politicians are direct opposite of what Buhari stand for. However, Buhari won and we are ever grateful for the support. Like the Former Minister of Planning, Dr Shamsudeen Usman was quoted as saying, one State in the North (Zamfara) gave Buhari a vote more than the entire South- West. Not withstanding, the Vice President slot was allotted to the region, this is a good compensation by any standard.
The emergence of Alh. Abubakar Bukola Saraki as the Senate President and Mr. Yakubu Dogara as the Speaker of the House of Representative against the APC preferred candidates for the two posts raised a highly controversial menu for discourse in our political experience. Saraki may not be a Saint but his political defiance had given Nigeria the required expectations of equity, Justice and equality which APC will be myopic in taking into cognizance under normal conditions. It has also enhanced the Independence of the legislature in choosing its own leaders. With the President from the North -West, the Vice President from the South- West, the Deputy Senate President from the South -East, the Speaker of the House of Representatives from North-East and his deputy from south- West. The need for an APC Presidency to bother about National Unity Government in order to satisfy the varying national sensitivities and sensibilities has rationally been taken care of and it is good for national renaissance. From the levers of religious contentions, it is clear that equal representations had been taken care of. The President is a Muslim from the North – West (Katsina), the Vice President is a Christian from the South – West (Lagos), the Senate President is a Muslim from the North- Central minority tribes (Kwara), the Deputy Senate President is a Christian from the South – East (Enugu), the Speaker of the House of Representative is a Northern Christian from the North – East (Bauchi) and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representative is a Southern Muslim from the South – West (Osun). What man could not do, in any political party by a way of zoning God has done it through the Saraki and Dogara defiance. Thanks to Saraki and Dogara defiance!. Many thanks also to the President, Muhammadu Buhari for congratulating the new leaders of the National Assembly and allowing the verdict of the National Assembly to prevail without Interference. This will boost the democratic flavor and allow for participatory democracy. With this action, Nigeria is on a sound democracy journey. Let Lai Mohammed and the APC leave the National assembly alone. The period of political campaigns is over. It is now time to consolidate on our democratic success towards national rejuvenation. If Charity begins at home, then the home must have charity and hence, there's no APC victory without Buhari, at least in the 2015 Presidential election. Accordingly, Lai Mohammed should be asked who is the APC Leader other than President Muhammadu Buhari?.
-Mamza is a member, National Executive Council of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and an Associate Professor at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

The shade accounted for more than a fifth of new cars in 2019.
Grey was by far Britain’s favourite new car colour in 2019, increasing its market share by 1.6 percent to take the crown for the second year running.
That’s the picture painted by data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), which showed that more than one in five new cars registered last year (22.6 percent) were grey. That equates to more than 520,000 cars - an increase of 5.3 percent on 2018, when grey first shot to the top of the colour chart.
As was the case in 2018, black and white rounded out the top three colours, meaning more than six in 10 new cars (60.7 percent) were painted in monochrome shades. It means primary colours, such as blue and red, haven’t been seen at the top of the leaderboard in 20 years. The last time a primary colour won out was 1999, when blue was the most popular hue.
Further down the list, blue and red came fourth and fifth respectively, in a mirror image of last year’s result. Together, the two colours boasted a market share of 26 percent, with a total of just over 600,000 cars sold in one of these hues.
Silver, down in sixth place, was the only other paint to achieve a significant number of registrations, managing to adorn just over 200,000 new cars last year. That was, however, a 0.6-percent drop in market share compared with the previous year.
In a stark demonstration of how far ahead the top six are, seventh-placed orange was found on just under 26,000 new cars in 2019. That’s a market share of just over one percent. In fact, the combined market share of the final four colours in the top 10 amounted to a mere 2.4 percent.
Clearly, the lion’s share of that went to orange, which was followed by green (0.7 percent), then bronze and yellow (both 0.3 percent). Yellow was the sole new entrant in the top 10, having been ousted by beige in 2018. In 2019, yellow reclaimed its tenth spot.
“For most buyers, the colour is the first of many options they’ll select on their new car, and today there are more possibilities to personalise your car than ever before,” said Mike Hawes, the SMMT’s chief executive. “Drivers can choose from many hundreds of models equipped with the latest low and zero-emission powertrains, advanced safety and connected tech and exciting comfort and convenience features. There really is something to suit every driving need – and colour taste – on the market in 2020.”

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments a person can make in their lifetime. It is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with a myriad of risks and potential complications. One crucial step in protecting your investment is obtaining title insurance. Title insurance provides homeowners with a safety net against any unforeseen issues related to the property’s title. In the city of Columbus, Ohio, homeowners can take advantage of the title insurance claims process to ensure their investment remains secure.
Before delving into the benefits, let us first understand what title insurance is. Title insurance is a form of indemnity insurance that protects homeowners and lenders from financial losses resulting from defects in the property’s title. These defects can include hidden liens, encumbrances, undisclosed heirs, or even forged documents. Without title insurance, homeowners may face substantial legal fees, loss of property, or even eviction.
When a homeowner in Columbus encounters a title issue, the claims process becomes essential. The claims process is initiated by the homeowner, who notifies their title insurance company about the problem. The title insurance company then investigates the claim and determines its validity. If the claim is valid, the title insurance company will provide financial compensation to the homeowner, covering any losses incurred as a result of the title defect.
One of the primary benefits of the title insurance claims process is the financial protection it offers to homeowners. In the event of a title dispute or defect, the title insurance company covers the costs associated with resolving the issue. This includes legal expenses, court fees, and any necessary settlement payments. For Columbus homeowners, this means that even if they encounter an unexpected title issue, they can rest assured that their investment is protected, and they will not bear the financial burden alone.
Another advantage of the title insurance claims process is the expertise and support provided by the insurance company. Title insurance companies have a team of professionals well-versed in real estate law and title issues. They work diligently to investigate claims, resolve disputes, and provide guidance throughout the process. This support can prove invaluable, especially for homeowners who may lack the necessary knowledge or experience to navigate complex legal matters.
Furthermore, the title insurance claims process ensures a smooth and seamless transfer of ownership. If a title dispute arises after the purchase of a property, the claims process allows homeowners to resolve the issue efficiently, avoiding lengthy court battles and potential delays in the selling or refinancing of the property.
In conclusion, the title insurance claims process is a vital safeguard for homeowners in Columbus. It offers financial protection, expert guidance, and ensures a hassle-free transfer of ownership. By obtaining title insurance and understanding the claims process, homeowners can rest easy knowing that their investment is secure and any potential title issues will be professionally handled.

Are Your Powders Discharging Correctly?
If you are experiencing powder flow issues, it could be because your powders are getting stuck in your silo or containers?
When powders are released via a butterfly or slide valve, flow takes place directly above the container outlet. The material that is not above the outlet can remain in place, adhered to the container sides.
This often occurs with cohesive powders as they are more prone to compaction under their own mass. If you can't get this material to move it will lead to product being wasted and difficulties in cleaning this add up.
Rat-holing causes a funnel flow effect, where the powder flows freely above the outlet but then stops as the compacted powder is held in the silo or hopper.
Why Are My Powders Not Flowing Efficiently?
If the material being handled is cohesive it could be difficult to discharge.
When handling cohesive powders because of the way in which the particles interlock, discharge will more easily occur directly above the outlet of the container, but build up on the wall of the silo or container. To free the material operators have to intervene in order to fully discharge the material.
Some manufacturers will use mallets or rods to free the material but this can damage the equipment or the product and will ultimately slow down production. If regular stoppages from blocked equipment are happening production capacity will be reduced as additional disassembling and cleaning will be needed.
How Can You Stop a Rat-hole Occurring?
Choose a solution that will efficiently discharge your powder every time.
Matcon IBCs contain our unique Cone Valve technology which is designed to discharge your powders efficiently and overcome the traditional powder handling problems. A Matcon IBC discharges powder under mass flow, resulting in a uniform flow of powder from the IBC. By delivering a controlled discharge, powder flow is consistent and even.
The Cone Valve will give you more control of your powders and will future-proof your system to handle a range of materials.

Her INSTRUDUCTION EP, slightly mastered by me, but 99% recorded and arranged by Natalie herself, will be available to download in April. BE EXCITED. Because there are bigger things to come.

Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928, antibiotics have saved millions of lives, in both human and veterinary medicine. They are an invaluable tool used against many diseases and are constantly evolving.
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are important medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria; they work by slowing their growth or killing the bacteria. There are many types of antibiotics; some of the more common ones include:
- Penicillins, eg penicillin G and amoxicillin.
- Cephalosporins, eg cefaclor, cefadroxil, cefalexin.
- Tetracyclines, eg tetracycline and doxycycline.
- Aminoglycosides, eg gentamicin, however these are contraindicated and dangerous to rabbits.
- Suphonamides and trimethoprim, eg co-trimoxazole.
- Metronidazole and tinidazole.
- Quinolones, eg ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, levofloxacin and norfloxacin.
What are the potential dangers of using antibiotics?
Rabbits are hindgut fermenters and rely upon microbial digestion. This means that rabbits have literally millions of 'friendly' bacteria within their digestive system.
Antibiotics are by their very nature designed to 'kill' bacteria, and some types of antibiotics are not selective about what bacteria they invade and kill off. This means that certain types (notably aminoglycosides) must never be given to rabbits as they are highly likely to kill off the 'friendly' bacteria within their digestive system, leading to potentially and often fatal diarrhoea. Other antibiotics, eg penicillins and clindamycin, should be given to rabbits via injection rather than orally to minimise the risk of digestive upsets; nutritional support should be given to rabbits undergoing antibiotic treatment in the form of probiotics for a minimum of 10 days afterwards.
Your vet can guide you on what antibiotics are suitable for your rabbit. It is worth noting that the only antibiotic that has a license for use in rabbits is enrofloxacin (Baytril). Any other antibiotic that is used must be given 'off label'. This mean that there is no alternative drug that has a license for that species or for that particular condition and your vet is prescribing the 'off label' drug based on evidence of its use in other species for similar conditions. This is common practice in rabbit medicine since so few drugs are licensed for rabbits and often the results of a culture and sensitivity test will indicate a particular antibiotic is needed. Invariably this is unlikely to be licensed for use on rabbits. Your vet should always discuss this with your first.
Adverse reactions can occur to any medication and to any animal. There are always risks involved with any drug, and no one drug can ever be 100% safe in all situations. Adverse reactions can occur, but by selecting appropriate antibiotics that are generally safe to use in rabbits, giving the correct dose for the correct amount of time, and if possible, using injectable antibiotics, the risks are minimised. It is important to watch closely for side-effects and stay in contact with your vet. If you are concerned, then you should speak to your vet immediately.
Adverse reactions are likely to be related to the digestive tract and will include liquid diarrhoea, collapse and potentially death in the most serious of reactions. Other reactions may include lethargy, increased heart rate and GI stasis. If you are concerned about your rabbit, you must speak to your vet immediately.
When are antibiotics useful?
All that said, antibiotics have a very useful and important role in the veterinary treatment of rabbits, and without the option of using them, we would be able to treat many conditions far less successfully.
Antibiotics do not work against viral infections. For example, a rabbit suffering from myxomatosis would not benefit from being treated with antibiotics. However, rabbits with myxomatosis often develop a secondary bacterial infection in their respiratory tract; for this, antibiotics may be prescribed.
Antibiotics are useful in cases of bacterial infection, eg abscesses, respiratory infection, urinary infections, and to prevent infection in wounds.
How does my vet know which antibiotic to use?
Antibiotics work according to the type of bacteria; some have a broad spectrum (will be effective against several bacterium), and others have a narrow spectrum, so may only work against one or two types of bacteria.
Ideally, a culture and sensitivity test should be carried out before starting antibiotic treatment. This involves taking a sample of any discharge from the affected area, eg a wound, bodily fluid or from an orifice, although this isn't always possible. The sample is then sent away to a laboratory so they can 'grow' the bacteria and decipher which is the best antibiotic to use.
What else do I need to know?
Antibiotic resistance is fast becoming a serious problem in human medicine, and is likely to follow the same path in veterinary medicine. The same antibiotics are used in human medicine that are used in animals.
Bacteria are living organisms and can adapt and find ways to survive the effects of an antibiotic. They become 'antibiotic resistant', meaning that the antibiotic no longer works against that strain of bacteria. This happens the more often we use an antibiotic. Potentially a situation can arise whereby a bacterium is resistant to all known antibiotics.
By using antibiotics less often, we can slow down the development of resistance, and antibiotics should never be used unnecessarily. It is imperative to always use the correctly prescribed antibiotics, at the correct dosage and for the correct length of time.
