Yes, but in most breeds it's much more common in males. Some breeds, such as Scottish Deerhounds, have yet to identify even one female who has it, whereas in the Newfoundland, it is common in both males and females.

Cystinuria is a genetic defect in the kidney tubules. Normal kidneys filter the amino acid cystine and do not allow it to go into the urine. In dogs with cystinuria, this filtering action fails, and cystine passes into the urine, where it can form crystals and/or stones (uroliths). If stones form, they can block the urethra and obstruct urinary flow, especially in males.

Dogs who have this defect are born with it, although it can take years to cause symptoms - or never cause any.

No. According to the Textbook of Internal Veterinary Medicine, "Not all cystinuric dogs form uroliths; therefore, cystinuria is a predisposing rather than a primary cause of cystine urolith formation. In a study of five generations of offspring from one Scottish terrier, only one of six cystinuric males formed uroliths."

this time, there is a genetic test available for cystinuria only in Newfoundlands and Labrador Retrievers.

There are many different makes and types of Lithotripsy machine ESWL, and I was wondering if there is a difference in the effectiveness of the machines.

Although a reduced-protein diet is usually prescribed for this condition, the actual experiences of people who have attempted to prevent stone formation with diet have not been positive. And while it is hard for cystine stones to form in alkaline urine (dog urine is normally acidic), maintaining a constant alkaline urine with diet or supplements is difficult, and can lead to the formation of other types of stone.

This is not recommended. Although some females will share the responsibilities of raising their families without any problems, there are other females who will steal all of the babies and try to nurse them herself. These females most often will not let the other mother get near her babies. This may not be a problem with small litters, but is with large litters since the female will not be able to produce enough milk to feed all of the babies and many may die.

No, males are equally responsible for the prevention of unplanned pregnancies and STIs. Males can become involved in several ways by: Males are directly involved in using a condom and should learn how to use condoms correctly. For example, the air needs to be squeezed out of the tip of the condom to leave enough space to hold the semen.

The reason why there are more autistic males than females is not known. However, this high ratio of boys to girls is found in a number of allied disorders involving language and learning problems. Autism can occur by itself or in association with other disorders such as intellectual disability, learning disability, epilepsy, rubella, fragile-x syndrome etc. A significant number of individuals with autism will develop epilepsy prior to adulthood.

The distribution of ethanol in the body is governed by partitioning between water and fat. Since fat constitutes a higher proportion of the body weight in women than in men, the resultant volume of distribution of ethanol in women is lower than that of men. Accordingly, absorption of a given amount of ethanol will result in a higher blood-alcohol level in women than in men of equal weight. This difference is further enhanced as men typically weight more than women.

YES, stress, trauma, any new exercise, change of diet, even a change in the seasons can affect the ovulation cycle in females of all ages. Remember, also, that the life of sperm is five to seven days. Trying to figure out the safe period of the month is called the rhythm method, it is not safe! Again yet another MYTH!

Some people will say that males are more "location" protective while females are more "pack" protective. Males are generally more territorial, so unless training steps are consistent, marking could be a problem. (Neutering may help alleviate this problem. Any dog not intended for a breeding program should be neutered or spayed.

Both. I have a fairly equal mix of male and females in the classes. I have had many husband and wife combos join together. The 9:30 AM class is the only "all female" class.

The opportunities that exist in the industry have been seized upon by females who have served their apprenticeship and gone into further study and progressed into management positions. The Success Stories section in this website illustrate some of the 'girl power' taking place in construction.

YES, they can referee both men's and ladies' football. Ladies have in recent years become more involved in all aspects of football.

Yes, males and females are detained in the same detention centers. However, males and females are separated in different housing units, school classrooms, etc.

Typically 5-10% in suburban communities, while in urban areas membership can be as high as 25% and some are even exclusively female.

If you have a true pair, the average clutch is between 4 and 5 eggs. Often only three or four of these will hatch. Occassionally, you may have as few as two or as many as 6 to 9 eggs. If, at five to eight days you candle the eggs (hold a mini flashlight next to the egg), you should see viens in the egg. If so, you have a pair and your eggs are fertile. Occassionaly, an individual may receive two hens that go through all of the motions of a true pair.

Simple answer is no they don’t. Weight training will tone your muscles giving them a tight defined look. The leaner they are, the more calories they burn even at rest. Testosterone is the hormone that would make someone put on the bulk (with specific training of course). As females’ testosterone levels are lower than that of men in general, their bodies will respond differently.

The number of females in a harem varies according to the topography of the beach. There can be as few as 10 and as many as 50 surrounding an alpha male. He provides protection from the amorous attention of other males.

The SAVRY may be useful in assessments with either male or female adolescents, since research suggests that many risk and protective factors operate similarly for both genders. It is important to note, however, that a substantial proportion of existing research on violence risk factors has been conducted only on males, and we have yet to analyze systematic gender differences in SAVRY-coded items.

Yes. I may one day shoot males, but I don't see it in the near future. I will shoot them when doing Couple Shoots only. In those shoots, they are used as props for the girl! :p

Yes! Females of all ages and experience levels enjoy great success at our course. If you are thinking of joining a significant other who is already into motorcycles, then our training is a fun, non-intimidating way to learn from professionals (we do not recommend that your loved ones teach you how to ride).

A There are no legally binding weight limits. However Regulation 4(1) of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 sets safety standards for manual handling. avoid the need for manual handling as far as is reasonably practicable; where that is not possible, assess the risk of injury to employees; and reduce the risk of injury from manual handling as far as is reasonably practicable. Your employer must try to eliminate the need for manual lifting.

The prevalence of hearing impairment differs according to gender (Table 4). The overall prevalence is 10.5 percent for males and 6.8 percent for females. While males at all ages are more likely than females to be deaf or hard-of-hearing, the gap widens after age 18 (Figure 2).
